    I do not know why this place seems like a very top rated tourist destination. The drink and music are good. We were at the window seats yet there is not much to see as it was facing to the zoo. If it was facing to skyscrapers, the view would be so much better. This is the reason I don’t why people are crazy about this place, like there is NO view lol. It was during covid so we waited for like an hour? The seats are also very close each other. Anyway, drinks are good. That is it. No need to wait an hour to come I think.

    I had been to this bar after 2hrs standing in the queue in the cold weather but the waitress is really rude. I ordered coffee and tea because it was really cold outside (it was on the menu). The waitress was making fun of us saying why did you come to the bar to order coffee or tea. My friend felt really sad coming to a fancy bar to face such humiliation. I wanted to order cocktails later but we thought it is not worth to spend money to get humiliation so we just went to another bar. I put 2 stars because of the atmosphere and view from Monkey Bar. I hope the owner sees the message and advises his/her staff how to behave with customers.

    An average Berlin bar with a gimmick that doesn't work. We saw an ad for this and it sounded really cool so we wanted to check it out while visiting Berlin. However it was not a great experience. The apps and drinks were ok. They sound fancy but honestly they're just alright. Typical big city: make it look and sound fancy but it's just average food. The cocktails were the highlight, that's for sure. The service was really bad though. We were able to find a seat quickly which was nice, and the server did come bring us menus fairly quickly, but it took a very long time for him to take our order. It also took a long time to get 4 cocktails as well. Our server didn't even deliver them, he was standing outside nearby and had someone else bring them. Not very personable. Finally there is the view, which is what they advertise. The Monkey exhibit is only visible on one side of the building. Unfortunately there were no seats on that side available and it only covers about 1/5tg off the seating space. Also on our visit there was nothing going on in the exhibit so there wasn't much of a view. Overall I would not recommend this bar. Go to one with nicer food and drinks and or a better view of the city. Berlin has a TON of better bars, restaurants, and clubs. This doesn't do enough nor have the quality to stand out.

    Great rooftop bar, with a nice ambiance, good views over the zoo areas, and great cocktails! Keep in mind that drinks are on the expensive side (€13–15), but we all agreed it was worth it, since they all tasted really good. Also consider that the zoo has no light at night, so if you want a good view of that side, you should come before it gets dark. And there was a line to enter the bar (about 10 mins), so one more reason to come early! PS: our waitress was a little grumpy, but we were having such a good time that it didn't bother us at all, if anything it added to the experience. Not sure if it was an isolated episode or if all waiters are like that.

    This place was on my list when we visit Berlin and even thought we had to wait in queue more than half hour I think it was worth it. The view is speechless, especially during sunset. Drinks were amazing - the best quality and interesting taste. Unfortunately we haven’t seen any animals from zoo but the view was really nice still :)

    Don't waste your time. This place wasted 4hrs of my last night in Berlin waiting to get in. The system of entering favors the hotel guests so they can always cut in line. I was the "next person to go" for 3hrs until the bar manager called the bouncer at 10pm and told all of us to go home. I'm sure it's beautiful or people wouldn't wait hours to get in... But it's not worth the wait. There are plenty of other bars in Berlin, my advice would be to spend your night there and not in line

    Welcoming staff coupled with a welcoming view, Over looking the zoo and on a good day (sadly today was not) I imagine you can see the animals too, cocktails are excellently made really high quality! Great date spot or to meet with friends Vibe is very exclusive

    I really like the Monkey Bar! Even though it is very touristy, it is still special. The view is simply beautiful. Both to the Memorial Church and to the zoo! Cocktails delicious but of course expensive. Tip: Go there at lunchtime, then it's very empty!

    Been wanting to visit this place for a while, checked the reviews and how split they are. But in this case, my experience here was excellent! The drinks are custom and well crafted, the vibe is chill, its loud but for a Friday night, it was exactly what i needed. It’s a very touristy place but for the view, i didn’t mind. Also, maybe i went on a different day, but there wasn’t any “bouncer” dude as some of these reviews have said and i got in pretty fast after a short 10-15 minutes wait on the queue. All in all, my time here was amazing and i can’t wait to come back.

    I am very disappointed in the guy at the reception. I have been coming here multiple times and have enjoyed my stay. However when I tried to come here this time an incredibly rude desk clerk answered my request to have a table with “you’re gonna have to wait at least 30 minutes” and smiled with a disapproving smile. I asked if there was a reservation system. He said that no we just needed to wait. I asked if there was an opportunity to sit down. No there was none. He added sitting anywhere else would lose our alleged place in line. He made us feel very uncomfortable and was just rude and unprofessional. I am very disappointed.

    Yesterday I went to Monkey bar with some friends. The experience was not the expected from the very beginning. We were a group of 6 people and before entering we had to queue due to the current situation. We were told that we could not enter the six together because there were no free spots for us and as maximum we could be 4. Two of my friends went home so that we could enter. Then inside we realize that there was free place for us six and it made no sense that my friends had to go home. Afterwards we asked for a place in the terrace and at that moment it was full so we were asked to stay inside, we said that that we would not mind waiting. We had not even got our drinks when a couple of tables outside were free again. I asked several times (more or less 4 times) to the responsible of the terrace and he did not allow me to change my table even when there were free places. He was truly disrespectful with his way of treating and answering us. Zero attention to the client. Besides people that were arriving later than us got better spots. As for the drinks they took a year to bring them and a friend of mine had to ask for its drink several times. But the worst part is that went I paid the overcharged me. My drink was 12,5€ and the waitress charged me 13€ without telling me anything or asking if I wanted to tip them, what I obviously didn't want due to the attention received. Definetly I am not coming back and I would say that there are better terraces in Berlin.

    Monkey bar is special for this amazing view and their special cocktails. I can't say it's worth to wait more than 1hr. But if there isn't much waiting I would recommend to go. They accept cash and card.

    We’ve waited for 2 hours outside the bar last Friday night, only to come in and sit in the dark terrace outside the bar. The view was nice as the bar is in the 8th floor, but it was really dark inside and have had to use flashlights on our phones… The atmosphere was really bad, but the cocktails were indeed good. The kitchen was closed by the time we got in (around 22) so we couldn’t order food. If we’ve arrived at an earlier time we might’ve had a better experience, but for a Friday night out I’d recommend going somewhere else.

    Oh well, the bar itself is really nice, the view, the music, the taste of drinks. But sadly, the queue is so long, you can easily stand there for 2 hours at weekends. The prices are high.

    Really cool rooftop bar with a cool view over the zoo! The entrance was a little hard to find, but it was worth the search 😉 Friendly service and the cocktails were ok. Of course a bit pricey 🤪 The view over the zoo was on the inside unfortunately, so we sat on the other side with a few over the remembrance church.

    Pretty cool bar! Can see a lot of Berlin from up there, the prices however are pretty steep! 27e for 2 drinks is mental... Music was top tier and overall aesthetics are nice.

  • 5/5 Jessica C. 3 months ago on Google • 99 reviews New
    The Monkey Bar with its rooftopper fireplace offers an impressive atmosphere above the rooftops of Berlin. The exquisite cocktails, especially the drinks and food, are a real treat for the senses. The unique decoration in the design gives the place a special touch. The service is consistently first class and rounds off the overall experience perfectly. An absolute must for anyone who wants to experience Berlin from above and in style!

    Very cool rooftop bar in Central Berlin. First night was amazing with great DJ and dancing however second visit was techno night with bright flashing light and no DJ which did put us off (obviously a bit old!) Highly recommend a visit for anyone passing through Berlin.

    A perfect place for a drinks night with view! Perfect for dates! Amazing atmosphere! The service people are hard working and try to do their best in spite of the high working load. The price is a bit high, but the amazing view could justify it.

    Bar is in very nice location. In the rooftop. Service were fast. But bar were very full, even it was not a evening. It was around 15.00. couldn’t found a place for a while. Which was free waiter give to someone else. Probably were friend. I didn’t eat, I had a coffee with cheesecake. Cheesecake were with some sour sauce on the top. Without would be better. Price I don’t know, friend paid. View were wonderful!

    A place with one of the most beautiful views of the center of West Berlin. Very friendly staff will serve you excellent cocktails. It was worth waiting a quarter of an hour in line for the entrance. Recommended, if you are on Kudamm.

    The visit to the Monkeybar was a nice experience. You can get cocktails from €15, everything is a bit more expensive, but the view you get of the Memorial Church is wonderful at night. It's relatively crowded in the evenings, so I would come earlier and wait until it gets dark. Cocktails are sometimes a bit too sweet, but you can still enjoy it. In summer it is highly recommended to sit outside. In winter there are blankets so you don't freeze. Overall, you have to have been there once.

    Great view and good cocktails; everything else was terrible. Arrogant staff, cold food and badly organised waiting lines. Instead of welcoming you and advising you on how to enjoy the stay; you'll get snarky remarks when asking questions such as whether it's currently cold outside of their terrace or if you could get a menu. (Duh it's only digital, didn't you see that?) Wouldn't recommend

    The bar seems really nice but it was not worth the wait outside. Once you get in and get upstairs you have to wait again. The waitress saw us standing by the sign that said: “wait here till you get seated”. When she asked where we wanted to sit, we asked her what she would recommend. She replied arrogantly saying we should figure it out ourselves. We asked for a menu but these were only available online (which according to the staff) should have been something we should know. When we wanted to pay the bill, they suggested they wanted a tip. The cocktails were nice but the food was cold, the staff arrogant and rude, and overall it was not a friendly place.

    Severely overrated. Not sure how a place with such poor service and rude waiters can be trendy, but apparently a view from a high-rise bulding makes it in Berlin. Decent drinks, pathetic, overpriced snacks in tiny sizes. Definitely not worth the wait, unless you a thirtheen year old on whose recommendation we actually visited the bar. Not to denigrade thirteen year olds, but the place doesn’t offer the quality and value for more discerning adults.

    unfriendly stuff, drinks are tasty. they have menu but when you choose a drink from the menu they say they dont have it it happened twice then i said lets decide my drink from the barman. their instagram account is also wrong we tried to pick drinks from the account but they also said they dont have it. my friend of you dont have the drink why are you putting this on your social media ?? it was wednesday , outside was closed so there was max 50 people and you are out of drinks , cmon guys is this how you run a bar, total waste of time 2 stars because of music maybe and barmans tasty cocktail will never go there again!

    Amazing views and suberb service! We've stopped by to see the views and were not disappointed! Just the sky views are worth it! But not only that, we had a couple of drinks and the pleasure to be serviced by Andy (Anderson) - his cocktails were just a-ma-zing! Do make sure to get your drinks from him when you're there!!! We'd definitely be back if in town!

    Experience the vibrant atmosphere at this lively bar, though crowded with no reservations, the lively ambiance compensates. Patience is key as you navigate through the bustling crowd to secure a table; the staff may not assist. However, the energetic vibes and a talented DJ add to the allure, creating a dynamic setting that amplifies the overall enjoyment. Embrace the lively chaos, immerse yourself in the music, and let the positive energy of this bustling bar leave you with lasting memories of a night well spent.

    We visited here many times in different years that we have been in Berlin. Nice view both day and night time. Love the atmosphere and the vibe. In the evenings in general it is very packed. If you want more chill you should come in afternoon. . The food comes from the restaurant across. Very tasty! I also recommend the restaurant as well.

    (Translated by Google) Overrated. Poor service, no working taps in the men's room, no mineral water, card reader does not work. The food offer is very small, as are the portions.

    The location is overrun with tourists and the service is so-so. Seems some waiters don't like the work. Some cocktails are alright but don't order an old fashioned. The first was sweeter than a coke but rather than doing it new they just topped it of with bourbon. Which just ruined the whole drink. The view is nice though and the music is fitting.

    SERVICE: 1 STAR. arrogant as fk, rude waiter and terrible waiting times, they could earn much more money if the would adapt the system. if you ask why it is taking so long you get a unfriendly and harsh response. LOCATION / VIEW: deserves 5 stars COCKTAILS: 4 stars, nice choice and well made, price is fine. if this where a place for locals or people who return they would be shut down already.

    Cool rooftop bar in central West-Berlin with the view of the Ku'damm skyscrapers! The ambiance is both cozy and modern with a big terrace that would probably be amazing in summer - there are even real palm trees outside to create a special vibe. The only downsides of this place are that it is often overcrowded and you might not be able to find seats during peak times plus the pricing is really high (which is kinda to be expected though).

    All the way from Amsterdam we were very excited to try the cocktails. We came on a Tuesday at 0:25 but couldn’t get in any more. The host said that if we can in we, after ordering, would have less than 5 minutes to finish our cocktail so it was no use. Bit of a disappointment because opening hours said 14:00 -2:00. But she wouldn’t let us in because the place was full. While talking 2 groups of 4 people left the bar. But still no entrance for us.

    (Translated by Google) Great location, unfortunately the queue at the entrance was not optimally organized, everyone got the same answer "30 min waiting time". We were able to observe it in detail during the hour that we were standing there ourselves. Once upstairs, it was great, nice staff, very accommodating, good cocktails. (Original) Tolle Location, leider war die Schlange beim Eingang nicht optimal organisiert, jeder bekam die gleiche Antwort "30 Min Wartezeit". Wir haben es während der Stunde, die wir selber dort standen, ausführlich beobachten können. Einmal oben, war es großartig, nettes Personal, sehr zuvorkommend, gute Cocktails.

    (Translated by Google) Beautiful view! Tasty cocktails! Have a little patience to enter (long queue given the covid 19 measures) but well worth it. (Original) Prachtig uitzicht! Lekkere cocktails! Wel eventjes geduld hebben om binnen te kunnen (lange wachtrij gezien de covid 19 maatregelen) maar zeker de moeite waard.

    Cool view, amazing interior, good drinks and very nice staff. If you visit berlin, make sure you stop here

    (Translated by Google) NEVER AGAIN - UNPROFESSIONAL and anti-social. When we came we were ignored by the 4 waiters who had nothing to do. IN THE SHOP THERE WAS LOTS OF LOTS. After 20 minutes we should have noticed. The last time we noticed the team leader was negative. (Original) NIE WIEDER - UNPROFESSIONELL und asozial. Als wir kamen, wurden wir von den 4 Kellner, die Nix zu tun hatten, ignoriert. IM LADEN WAR KAUM WAS LOS. Nach 20 Min müssten wir auf uns aufmerksam machen. Der Teamleiter ist uns schon das letzte mal negativ aufgefallen.

    Amazing Place. Thanks for a greate experence🤩

  • 4/5 Maria S. 3 years ago on Google
    Great for drinks and atmosphere, very nice view. A bit pricey. Non-alcoholic drinks are very sparse, especially cocktails (there were only 2, both pretty strange). Very limited food/snack options, so it’s definitely more of a pure bar where you go for drinks only. Staff is very friendly. There are outside sitting options (those have the best view for sure!)

  • 4/5 Michael M. 2 years ago on Google
    Probably one of the best rooftop bars in Berlin, where you could luckily catch a sunset with a stunning view over Charlottenburg. Overpriced but nice cocktails. Nice interior design, with an unfortunate posh atmosphere attached. Great for a fancy date, otherwise there is much better.

  • 4/5 Dan C. 2 years ago on Google
    Cool sky bar, bit pricey but not bad for a drink and view.

  • 5/5 Kristina S. 2 years ago on Google
    The best rooftop bar in Berlin, great vibe and cocktails.

  • 5/5 gianluca p. 2 years ago on Google
    BEST ROOF TOP COCKTAIL BAR! Nice service/stuff, amazing view on the zoo and the city.(even though I was there In the evening and I didn’t manage to enjoy fully the view). Nice cocktail and beer! The best is the interior and its details! I RECOMMEND THIS PLACE

  • 1/5 Mark S. 2 years ago on Google
    What a terrible experience. The ambiance is lovely but the servers are extremely pushy and they bill for drinks that you send back because they don’t come as described on the menu. The worst customer service experience I’ve had in months (and I live in Germany 😂)

  • 1/5 Neeraj S. 2 years ago on Google
    Not worth the long waiting times..ambience is good specially the sitting on terrace but average cocktails and no draught beer..avoid if you can

  • 5/5 Chiao Fan Y. 2 years ago on Google
    Monkey bar is on the rooftop of bikini Berlin. You can see the view over there. Better come there on the weekdays otherwise you need to wait for a long time!

  • 5/5 Hop House B. 1 year ago on Google
    Stunning views, good choice of drinks, great atmosphere. Prices might nake your eyes water but good quality drinks

  • 5/5 Dexter P. 1 year ago on Google
    Perfect view over the park. The drinks are also delicious and worth the premium price. The side dishes from Neni are also perfect combination. Especially the Korean chicken. Unfortunate to read all complaints about the waiting time. They are open from 13h so you do not need to stay in line. Just do not come at peak times at night.

  • 5/5 Mike B. 1 year ago on Google
    View was amazing! Great vibe but very busy...Good wine/beer at reasonable prices - definitely worth a visit...

  • 5/5 R G. 1 year ago on Google
    Great cocktails - Zombie Colada is my favourite. Topped with great snack food and a breathtaking view. Amazing experience all around

  • 4/5 Weronika B. 1 year ago on Google
    Really cool rooftop bar with amazing view on the Berlin Zoo. However, you need to consider queuing for a bit, since bar is pretty busy. For this reason, you may be seated by waiters not necessarily in the outdoor, pretty area but inside. I would recommend booking the table before.

  • 5/5 Pulguim 1 year ago on Google
    It was a wonderful experience. Specially by the sunset. We had nice drinks and finger food, having the zoo ahead of us. It was a pretty view.

  • 3/5 Shinji 1 year ago on Google
    Very crowded with loud music. A place to enjoy the vibe, not to talk. Staffs were nice, the drinks were okay. If you sit outside, there‘re people always coming to take pics of the skyline and block your view. Would be better visiting during the daytime - relaxed with good views. (Plus most of the positive reviews are from the people who visited at afternoon.)

  • 4/5 Nila H. 1 year ago on Google
    I went to this place on a weekday. We didn’t have to wait for a long time like on a weekend. Still, the place was so crowded. They have good cocktails and an amazing city view from the top. But I don’t think the place matches the hype.

  • 5/5 jamie 1. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic cocktails, great atmosphere and spectacular view over the zoo and city. Cocktails slightly on the pricey side at around 14 euros each but they were lovely and well made. Absolutely would return here.

  • 4/5 Kayla 10 months ago on Google
    It’s always busy here, but the view is pretty nice. We found out this last time (April 2023) that you can also order a couple of smaller dishes from NENI next door (hummus trio pictured). It is not the cheapest, but a nice treat every once in a while.

  • 4/5 Stephanie H. 10 months ago on Google
    A bit crowded place to grab a drink with a view of the zoo. We got a few cocktails and hung out here before our dinner reservation. I'd highly recommend to get here earlier in the afternoon, because there was a huge queue on our way out at around 7pm. The bar is nicely sized, but the demand to sit up here is high. Even if you come early, there's a possibility that you'll be stuck right next to a window with the sun shining on you without much of a breeze.

  • 5/5 Sofi C. 1 year ago on Google
    Stunning view. Perfect for a summer/spring after office or evening date with your partner ir friends! Great drinks and best sweet potato fries. Limited food offer though and not the place to go if you are looking after your wallet ! 💲

  • 4/5 Adam L. 11 months ago on Google
    Was a fun place to visit, they made an amazing negroni for sure. I couldn’t see any monkeys as it was dark, probably advisable to go in summer for monkeys. Music was cool and the toilets where amazingly clean for a bar! Definitely worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Angéla F. 8 months ago on Google
    Good vibes, nice view, chill music, helpful workers. Did not try the food options, or the alcoholic drinks, but even though was worth visiting. despite the bad reviews the staff was nice with us :)

  • 5/5 Stephen M. 7 months ago on Google
    Such a lovely experience, service was almost as amazing as the view! Watching the sunset or monkey enclosure was great. Cocktails are fairly priced, considering the view/location. Can’t wait to return again!

  • 4/5 Alexandra Kalnytska (. 8 months ago on Google
    Great place with an amazing variety of cocktails. Also a cool DJ. But it is quite crowded on a weekend and it is a bit hard to enjoy the atmosphere. It was also hard catch service, mainly because of the number of people...

  • 5/5 Marlena B. 5 months ago on Google
    This place has a wonderful atmosphere. Aswell as the snacks and drinks are good. Probably the best view you will get in Berlin. The staff are really nice. I would highly recommend this place.
