Laid back music on a decent volume level tasty and affordable wines and tap, as well as bottled beers. If you are looking for some pool action it might also be worth a try. On weekends it is wise to be there early to get a seat. BUT non smokers and/or people minding a lot of smoke the "Weinsalon" is probably to avoid due to the heavy smoking all night long.

However, I did not really warm up for it. And neither did I warm up for the sausage which in my totally biased foodie opinion was far from anything exciting.

I ate my first dinner in Deutschland, in Europe for that matter, at Wilhelm Hoeck. It is a very…read moreauthentic German restaurant so the menu is loaded with various meat dishes. Being a non-red-meat-eater obviously put me at a slight disadvantage but I order the Bergkäse Blattspinatknödel (cheese and spinach dumplings) and they were phenomenal. I also had two glasses of Riesling that were sehr gut ~ very sweet which is perfect for my taste. Overall, the atmosphere is wonderful and the wait staff were very patient with my party (16 people, 14 of which are Americans). It is a pricier restaurant compared to most I've seen in Berlin so far but the portions are large.

I had Chili con carne yesterday that was quite nice. They've got almost anything you could ever think of. The bar staff is quite nice! I will definitely go back. They've got a happy hour as well.

This bar was sexy AF.

The mixologist had an interesting German name I can't remember - a Berliner that had a great command of Bourbon drinks. I tried quite a few. My favorite was a bourbon chartreuse sazerac - I'm drooling in a shitty hostel bed in Croatia just thinking about it. The bar is in a quiet part of town, but that only adds to the intimacy of it. After a couple great drinks, you can stroll to Kreuzberg/Neukölln and keep the sexy vibez going.

We arrived and couldn't believe we were at the right place. It STUNK of stale beer and yesterday's ashtray. Feeling embarrassment for the owner, we left. Too bad.

WARNING: They are a RAUCHERKNEIPE, but the sign is there to discover on the door.

One of the very few remaining retro pubs of East Berlin. "Retro" however is misleading - this pub…read moredoesn't use retro decor to appear old, this place has actually been around forever and interior-wise nothing much has changed. Typical for an old "Berliner Kneipe" is cheap beer "vom Fass" (draft), cheap Schnapps (try the 1 Euro shots of Kirsch-Wodka), and a smoker-friendly environment. Usually the patrons are as old as the pub and come here on a daily basis but since this place is located on the busy intersection of Danziger Str / Greifswalder Str the crowd is very mixed. Get a Schultheiss Bier for 2.30 Euro, a shot of cheap Schnapps, and chat with the friendly bartender or come for Bundesliga/Championsleague screenings. That place gets packed! Since it's a smoker-friendly pub they stopped serving food, which is a bummer. German rules, really.
