I got to know this place a while ago from a friend. we came as group, about 7 - 8 people in our group, what we didn't know at that time is that this place has a dress code or rather to say a standard. Our style were too "casual" for the bar, so they didn't let us in. Quite a bummer. So this time when my friend invited my partner and I to this place for birthday again. I did dressed up for it. Everything works smoothly, it didn't take long to get to the top. And the reception are much nicer than like the first time. I found the situation quite funny in the way.
So when we got out of the lift, the first thing we saw was the restaurant. By the way, the lift got a great view of Berlin. Doesn't matter day or night. the restaurant looked nice. Not so big, but great atmosphere and of course, amazing view. We didn't really come here for dinner, so got no idea how much a meal cost. It did look fancy through. We walked upstairs, I was amazed by the view at once. It even looked much better up here. in my hometown, standing at the 17th floor was like nothing, it was just a city jungle, lots of tall buildings around, barely could see the city. But here was like on the top of everything. I could see the whole city and what's going down there. The design of the bar was quite nice as well, it offered different kind of seats, for group of friends, lovers or buddy to hangout with. There even got an area for smoking. So no one needs to suffered. We didn't got the nice seats which were facing the window at the beginning. It took awhile. But eventually we did. It was pretty amazing. (Probably not for the people who afraid of high.)
Speak about the drinks. For me, I think it was ok. Not bad, but quite expensive. For the same price, I do know some places where are really good. So the night keep going, more and more people came to the bar. The bar itself wasn't really big. It started to become crowded. Plus the DJ area was in the middle of bar. It made the bar quite hard to get around at the time. the music was ok for me, I do think if it was going for the theme "Party all night", that was too slow and lack of excitement. If it was going for "elegant night club social networking", the music was too loud. My friends and I needed to shout at each other to able to understand what we were talking about. Even at the restaurant could heard that. (I noticed that when we were leaving the bar). That was just my opinion, the music was not my thing, but probably other people love it.
At the end, I'm glad that I finally paid a visit to this place, after heard so many thing about it. There are some parts I like, also some I don't. But we did have a good time there. If you just want to have some drinks or a nice dinner with someone important in a great location, this could be it. But if you are searching for a great bar for the weekend. I guess better look for a bigger dance floor. read more
