The bartender wasn't particularly welcoming, when I asked if I could sit at the bar, he pushed the reservation sign at the seat I was pointing at towards me from what I remember... point taken that yes there was a reservation sign but I just wanted to check since I wasn't sure... perhaps I was perceived as rude since I asked in English, or coz I wasn't local and didn't know, or may be that's in keeping with the vibe of the bar, no idea. Obviously can't comment on the drinks, but yep, there was no effort made to accommodate me, though I also didn't ask. Oh well, too bad.

I must admit that my memories of Paule's Metal Eck are definitely alcohol impaired and influence,…read morebut are non the less memories of a very enjoyable drinking evening. Having liked rock / hard rock and metal as well as many other styles of music for almost thirty years now I don't feel the need to visit cliché metal bars, but since I still like the music I find it fun when I visit somewhere like this that embraces the music but doesn't feel the need to resort to every metal cliché in the book to feel authentic. In short Paule's is a good bar that just happens to play rock / metal.

Being that Berlin is home of many skidly metal bands and that a good chunk of the male and female…read morepopulation still sport mullets and metal shirts, it seems unfair to make a trip to Berlin and not visit Paule's Metal Eck. We had a fun time... once we stepped outside to the patio. Inside was just a bunch of metalheads drinking beer and watching Metal videos on TV screens. Outside was the rif raf-- several German dudes who were very funny and lots of fun-- but of course Turbos always are. For all their lack of fashion sense, they remain unpretentious and quite frankly I prefer their company to that of hipsters. Maybe that's why my friends dubbed me "Skid Magnet" in high school. Despite what you might think, I don't think this bar even hosts metal bands. It's really just a quiet (really!) pub with long haired headbangers on all the TVs. Beers on tap? Don't remember. Jagermeister? Of course, but not since 2nd year Uni for me.This place is a classic case of the people you're with making your good time what it is. The bar itself isn't really much to write home about, but it is a niche market that might deserve a pop in to see who's there.
