Definitely one of the best bars in Berlin. Since 2007, for 17 years this bar is ahead of the rest. Very unique location underneath the train tracks in a former railway storage facility. Orften imitated, never duplicated. Gives the idea you are inside of a huge jet engine. Quite stunning

Great little tucked away speakeasy. Was recommended this place by a friend and it didn't disappoint. Tucked away under a bridge behind a non descript door. The inside feels like a tastefully decorated bunker with two main seating areas, a large bar and a booth space with a reflective wall that adds greatly contributes to the vibe. The drinks are solid and well priced. The staff are welcoming and kind. The DJ that started off the night was a blast. The music was loud but not so much that you were screaming to be heard. The bathrooms were also very clean. FYI you can smoke indoors so for those not accustomed to that experience please be aware.

One of the best bars in Berlin. Attentive staff, creative bartender. Delicious cocktails and a good selection of whiskey. The atmosphere is super comfortable.

Music and atmosphere were awesome, smoking indoor is allowed. Weekdays wasn’t too crowded, limited selection of whiskey and no wifi or internet signals inside, service was okay. entrance fee was 10 euros Thursday to Saturday

* A review about the bar side * * Willingness to return visit: 120% * Suitable place for everything business, party, date, alone :) * Smoking is allowed inside. * Storage for the Jackets and bags.( 1.5or 2 euro) * I'm Including the sound videos of 12am’s 'before and after' in this review. Because around 12 o'clock, the atmosphere before and after is quite different :D ! but don’t worry, The atmosphere won't change suddenly. Competent DJs are making increasingly mood with well selected music . it will definitely make you wanna dance around 1:00. The friendly bartenders also make cocktails that are not on the menu, satisfying your taste. Well, If there's one thing that's missing, the cocktail glass is a bit.. ugly? not pretty?. . Haha um The cocktail glass can’t keep up with the cocktail tasty& mood🙈

If you want to try authentic Japanese food, this place will be the best for that kind of experience. This place reminds me of a typical Japanese fast food place with quality products, very fast work and friendly waiters. The big plus point of the place is the speed of preparation and the taste of the food. Also, the food here is quite hearty. It may seem like you won't get full, but actually even a small set of sushi rolls is quite hearty. The average price is more than affordable, especially for Japanese food. You can order a set for €10-18 and you don't need to take drinks because the green tea is free.

Ishin a fantastic sushi restaurant, where you can enjoy authentic sushi at a very reasonable price. It’s such a great find to have high-quality sushi that’s both delicious and affordable. I found myself visiting almost every week, as the food is consistently excellent. The service is also outstanding friendly and attentive, making each visit even more enjoyable. If you’re in Berlin and craving sushi, Ishin is definitely a place you shouldn’t miss!

Ishin Sushi in Berlin is the definition of “it’s fine” when it comes to sushi. The taste is okay, but don’t expect to be blown away—it’s pretty basic. The sushi is fresh and decent, but nothing that’s going to have you running back for more. If you’re looking for super unique flavors or a next-level experience, this might not be your spot. That said, the prices are super reasonable, especially for Berlin. It’s one of the cheaper sushi places around, so if you’re ballin’ on a budget, Ishin gets the job done. Plus, they give you free green tea, which is always a win.

Great Japanese restaurant with authentic sushiThe restaurant is spotless, offering free green tea, and it's in a great location. Highly recommended for sushi lovers seeking a true Japanese dining experience

My favourite place for sushi. Love the freshness and the texture of the sushi here. The price is incredible good for the quality. Don’t expect chill and relaxing ambience because the place is just for the food. :)

While in Germany I whet here with a group of 17 people. Thee service was excellent, and the beer was well done, and dynamically priced. All in I'd rate the atmosphere a B + and the food a B.

A traditional German meal on a quiet afternoon, the food was very tasty with big portions, one meal would easily be enough for 2 people. Beers were nice and cold. Service was quick and friendly, however when it came to paying the experience changed when you are all most guilt tripped into leaving a tip. I would have left a tip in cash on the table had it not been for the cheeky comment made by the waiter when we paid with card and didn’t change the total amount on his card machine. A good experience for food but let down at the very end.

Nice food and atmosphere! It's one of the best Pretzel I've ever had! I believe this is an authentic German restaurant!

The lamb goulash is delicious. Great sausages and beer. Wonderful location right along the river.

I cannot stress enough how straight up awful this bar is on the concept alone. Whatever capitalist came up with this place should be given their commemorative cement shoes and tossed off their riverfront seating area. The beers change in price "like the stock market" of demand and... well the supply is fixed so it's just a way to extract money from you. Instead of demand/supply economics i guess it's demand/stupid/gullibility economics. I ordered a 0,5L Hef when the price dipped to 4,10 but by the time they put the order in it was 6,10. So basically you get the illusion of maybe a cheap buy, then they put the order in when it's not. I decided to lean into their scheme by asking the server about shorts, futures, call/put options, etc and he looked like a deer in headlights. If they leaned into the concept by at least giving complicated stock mechanisms to people like me, who know it's a scam, then I would have given it a pass because at that point it's like a fun game. But no, it's just steal your money shenanigans. I think my silly young friends found it charming, but every time i broke down the numbers on the "good deal" that was coming up, they were like, "oh yeah, that's terrible." So turn your brain off and empty the wallet then you're good to go! I had a spoon full of the tomato soup from my buddy and it was exceptional (i'm very critical of tomato soup, highly recommend), fair is fair on that point, but nothing about the beer prices are fair or entertaining to an adult who isn't in the habit of burning their money for a capitalist gimmick. Outside that bomb/fire tomato soup, this place is trash, never go again, don't recommend. Nice riverside seating. One more thing, their bathroom artwork is INCREDIBLE, must see! Don't buy anything, just act like you're going to sit down and check out the bathroom!! Sad state of affairs when the highlight of your resturaunt is where people deposit the waste/product from the kitchen, but that's the facts of the matter. One of the silliest places i've ever been minus the soup and bathroom.

Nice genuine French restaurant close to the Spree with a lot of tables outside. Easy way to enjoy the river, people and city life. Food is fast and presented well. Service is a bit slow but food is served fast. Menues are on the smaller side, but it should be enough. There were a lot of wasps here, so sitting outside was a problem.
Håvard Siegel Haukeberg (Howie) - a month ago

The atmosphere was great. Seating right by the river. The menu had a lot of options for breakfast, almost too many. Our server was lively and had a great table side manner. The food was excellent. No kid's menu but they had good enough options on main menu.

I had the Flammkuchen, which is like flatbread or pizza, with sparse toppings so the crust stays crisp. It was good and large enough to share. My husband had the Raviola with basil which was delicious. Servers were VERY busy so we had to wait. We had a lovely outdoor table along the river and the restaurant had blankets available as the evening was chilly.

Fantastically located French restaurant on the river along one of the main tourist roads in Berlin leading to Checkpoint Charlie. It's a classic French menu with everything that you would expect to get. I had the Steak Tartare, and my wife had the Steak Frites. I have to say that they were both pretty good. It's not the best I have had in Berlin, but it's certainly not the worst. Prices are on the high side for Berlin, but the location probably just about justifies the premium over other Berlin French restaurants. I had the Mousse Chocolate at the end, and that was great, but again, the price was not cheap, so I expected something great, and thankfully, this was the case here. Service was perfect, and the views are really breathtaking if you take one of the outside tables by the riverbank. Overall, it was expensive and really good. What more can you say?

Trendy restaurant with 1920s theme situated underneath the railroad. It makes a lot of noise when trains run over. During the event happens less. Food is good and service is both fast and professional. Good selection of beer and drinks. The dessert menu was a bit short, but had what you need for a proper German dessert. Appel strudel and cream
Håvard Siegel Haukeberg (Howie) - a month ago

Amazing place to dine and try German food in Berlin. Don’t let the location fool you! It is right by the train station in a cute little alley near the beautiful River. Menu with amazing German food offerings for vegetarians and non vegetarians as well. Portions are quite generous and the prices are very reasonable. Service is very friendly and top notch! Highly recommend!

We stumbled upon this restaurant on our last night in Berlin and it truly topped off a fabulous weekend. It was our favourite dinner of our trip. A true taste of Germany! We ordered the meatballs and for desert we had the delicious Apfel Strudel. The service was great, we had a lovely waitress and although the place was packed with people, we were served so quick. Would highly recommend this restaurant if you want to experience authentic German food in a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Really nice little traditional food place. Inside is decorated really pretty, and the outside patio behind the restaurant is very peaceful. The waiter was quick and although he wasn't bubbly, he answered all questions and provided great service.

This place has some true and charming German atmosphere. The food is proper German, and so are the beers as well! There is more than enough space for big groups here. Though, it can be a bit loud, but that’s also part of the atmosphere

Amazing spot! Stumbled upon it. Didn’t have a reservation but they were kind enough to seat us anyway. Was so fantastic we booked for breakfast the very next day as well. They do a cafe kuchen in the afternoon and the cakes looked fantastic. Will definitely be back for that!

A real nice coffee and breakfast place. Have gluten free substitutes and a good solid selection of eggs and other breakfast necessities. Not inexpensive

The pancakes were delicious, I didn’t like the lemonade too much tho for me it didn’t taste like a lemonade at all. The view was pretty, but the service wasn’t the greatest 🥲 I think I waited almost 20 minutes for someone to take my order and the waiter started taking orders from the people who arrived after me which was really not nice. The price was a little bit overpriced I paid around 20€ for some pancakes and a lemonade

Lukas was so sweet and did such a fantastic job on his first day. We were in a rush and he got everything out quick and perfectly correctly. This was probably the best meal I had in Berlin.
Amber D. - 3 months ago

I had vegan pancakes with blueberries and blueberry lavender lemonade. Pancakes were filling and delicious. The lemonade was also delicious. I sat outside overlooking the water---make sure to see the host, it isn't seat yourself! Waitress helped people who arrived later than me before she helped me, which wasn't awesome, but she was nice! And the food was great, so no big deal!

We visited the restaurant for brunch on a warm Sunday. The staff were very friendly and helped us practice our German, and the food was fantastic - really fresh and we were both very full when we left! The cakes looked lovely but we didn't have room to try them unfortunately - we will have to go back!

The staff were very nice. The food was unfortunately mid for the price. We ordered the schnitzel, which was pretty ok tho the potatoes on the side were bland as potatoes can be, and I got a mushroom risotto. It was so salty, almost inedible, not sure if it was just a one time fluke or if it's usually like that but I couldn't even taste anything but salt. It's a nice looking restaurant but there are better places to eat.

Very well located and delicious strudel. A bit pricey though. And they enploy a very rude toilet lady. I had to change my baby's nappy on the sink and was told to take my dirty nappy with me. When I asked where should I leave it she said outside, take it with you but don't leave it here. I complained to the manager but nothing further than a sorry happened.

So sad the Villa where the cafe was located closed last year. It was beloved by Berliners and had went there in 2022 on my first trip to the city. This location is great too. Just a walk away from the Brandenburg gate. The food was good. I had the classic Wien Schnitzel and we had some wine. The portion was huge! It was two slabs of porkchop. We also had some wine and I had the classic Sacher Torte.

Amazing quiet atmosphere lovely to have few drinks, good food and be able to have a conversation. Service was excellent! Even though we ordered classic dishes, it was tastefull!
Andrea Hernandez - 10 months ago

The waitress was extremely kind, the place is super nice. The prices a bit high but in the average for the area which is super nice. The plates had very little of Italian, I went there because some German friends booked and as Italian I've to admit that the plates are very different from what we eat in Italy: the lasagna has nothing to do with our lasagna, risotto with chicken is more indian than Italian cousin, gnocchi refill with pesto is not our traditional gnocchi with mozzarella, parmigiano etc, and the pizza was more German pizza than Italian pizza. Said so, the area around is super nice and the service is kind, it's a good place for foreigners, a bit less for Italians.
Claudia Cicalese - 2 years ago

The food was okay, nothing special not bad either. The service however was bad. I ordered lemonade, but what i got was sprite. Asked the server if this was sprite or the lemonade, and seemed irritated when i asked, and told us that it was lemonade. When we were going to pay, the waitor told us that the terminal was not working, but we didn't have any cash. But then he came back right away with a fully functional terminal, and then he asked us to tip him. When we wouldn't tip him he got a little salty at us. I do NOT recommend this place

I had a wonderful dinner here. The service was exceptional, with attentive and friendly staff, and the food was equally impressive—delicious and well-prepared. The restaurant’s location is another big plus, as it’s very close to the station, making it easy to access. If you’re looking for a great dining experience with excellent service and convenient access, Block House is a fantastic choice! Highly recommended for a satisfying and enjoyable meal.

BLOCK HOUSE on Friedrichstraße in Berlin is a decent restaurant with some highs and lows. The service tends to be quite slow, which can be frustrating. The dishes we tried, such as the tartare, house salad, and a variation of Caesar salad, were all average. However, the quality of the meat was excellent. The steaks were cooked to perfection and tasted delicious, which is a major plus. The restaurant's location under the train tracks makes the outdoor seating area very noisy, so we had to move inside. Unfortunately, it was slightly warm indoors as they don't seem to use air conditioning effectively. Overall, BLOCK HOUSE provides an okay dining experience. While it's hard to give it a full five stars due to the slow service and noise issues, the excellent meat quality and generally pleasant staff make it a reasonable choice for a meal.

Came to this steakhouse with friends, not quite in the mood for steak, and left pleasantly surprised. The diverse menu options beyond steak were impressive and truly delicious—everyone found something they loved. Despite our varied orders, each dish was well-prepared and satisfying. The ambiance exuded a cozy yet sophisticated vibe, contributing to a great dining experience. The staff was attentive and accommodating, ensuring our visit was enjoyable. While we didn't dive into the steaks, this place exceeded our expectations and made for a fantastic dining outing.

Quality pint of guiness, price about right for berlin. Irish stew was nice and the nachos were great value, massive portion. Hand soap in bathroom wouldn't of gone a miss, was there 5 hours and none! But definitely recommend this place!
Gary Forrest - 4 months ago

Nice Location, classic Irish Pub interior and often good live music. But I don't recommend to order a classic Softdrink due to the high price and bad service. 5,-€ for a straight can without a glas or ice or anything is too expensive.
Mr. Fisch - a month ago

Self service. Go to counter and ask for beer and pay right away. Don’t wait to be seated they don’t do that there. Cool place but it can be busy . They accept card.
