    Service top, food flop. Unfortunately for us Berliners it's a pure tourist trap. Okay for an after-work beer, but we wouldn't eat here again. Veal schnitzel and veal liver were unfortunately fried to death. Therefore only 3 stars overall.

    Nice restaurant, good food, nice people. I loved that we were very hungry the restaurant was full and I asked if we can get quicker french fries while waiting and the guy made me happy. Well done!

    Wonderful location on the bank of the Spree, sit outside and watch the boats on the river. A great selection of really tasty food and drinks. Well recommended

    Surprisingly smooth operations in a place that is easily overrun by tourists. Service is fast and professional, beer is fresh and the food satisfying Menu offers a decent selection of dishes from Berlin mixed with vegetarian and some international options.

    The service is top... Very friendly staff behind the bar and in service despite the very high volume of customers. Unfortunately I can't comment on the food, but the beer recommended by the bartender tasted great. 🍺💪 I would love to come back... For the future... I wish you more staff...

    A cool place to visit! Situated right on the river, you have a choice of outdoor or inside seating. We opted for the tasting paddles to start, which were great value for money. We also had a couple of side dishes (to soak up the alcohol), and the portions were very generous. After 5 p.m., the bar operates a stock exchange format where beers go up and down in price depending on their popularity. Definitely recommend visiting.

    Food was great, they had really good decor with the photos and the table settings they actually have enough space to sit comfortably. Can accommodate large groups 👍🏾. Only issue was the ceilings lights point right into your eyes 😂 But worth visiting they had fast service even when it was crowded

    This is by far one the worst service I have ever experienced anywhere in Berlin. We arrived and waited at the door for almost 10 min, and no one even noticed us. We tried to speak to someone to check if they had a place to accommodate us, but with no luck as they were obviously understaffed, and when one of us found someone, she was extremely rude in the way she was talking to us. We explained to her that we were waiting for 10 min, she responded that you might as well also wait for 20! It was extremely shocking how vulgar she was. Avoid this place! super ungrateful, and not worth your time.

    Great food and very good service. I didn't make a reservation but that was no problem to the staff. The young man who served me was brilliant all evening. Nothing seemed too much bother for any of the staff . I had the schnitzel followed by apple strudel. Both were superb. I will definitely visit again.

    Great place to sit out next to the water and have a few beers and German food! Service here was great, and the place wasn’t too busy. Food was decent and had a good selection of vegan options including curry wurst and schnitzel. Didn’t get to try the food this time but those I was with do did try it gave a positive review! Can definitely vouch for the beer. The unique beer pricing system like tracking stocks encourages you to try different beers too!

    Good place to go with your family, friends or colleagues. The service is so nice, always happy to help. The price and food was correct. And the Berlin Welcome Card works here!! ;)

    Excellent place to visit! The selection of beers is amazing. The service was brilliant, as soon as I had an empty glass I was offered another beer! They even reacted very well when my partner knocked a couple of drinks over me!!! Will be back again next time I’m in Berlin!!

  • 5/5 Paula B. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good German restaurant with traditional food and German beer. They have a fun concept that the price of the beers work as the stock market, higher demand, higher the price and vice versa. Me and my friends took a schnitzel and a curry wurst that was delicious. For desert we too an apfel strudel that was also good and nice to share with friends.

  • 3/5 Stephanie H. 10 months ago on Google
    Busy spot to sit for a lunch and a drink along the river. We got the sausage platter and the herring - both very good and huge portion sizes. The white sausage is always my favorite, and the sauces went well with it. No surprises or extras with this place. If you're looking for a place for beers and sausages, here's your spot.

  • 5/5 Jon K. 8 months ago on Google
    Nice location next to the Spree very close Friedrichstrasse station. We visited here early evening midweek. Prices are not fixed and change every few minutes like at the stock exchange. Prices are shown on large screens around the bar. We paid 4,40 and 4,90 for 0,5Ltr Warsteiner. A great price, particularly for the area. Great choice of beers, we didn't eat so I can't comment on the food. Indoor and outdoor seating available. The bar staff were very friendly.

  • 3/5 Benno 6 months ago on Google • 3 reviews
    Positive: The food tastes good and the meter Kölsch was a pleasure. Negative: The waiting time for the food was over 1 hour and unfortunately the food was also cold. The staff seemed a little overwhelmed. Conclusion: I would come back hoping it was just a bad day.

  • 4/5 Héctor M. 1 year ago on Google
    Really nice place, great amount of national and international beers. Go for the craft ones, make the difference. Food is also great, but better be hungry, quantities are German size ;)

  • 5/5 Septi Dwisidi H. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a good time during my last visit. Good value for money and the portion was big. The staffs can speak english very well. And if you have Berlin Welcome Card, you can get discount on your main course. It’s fun to watch the beer price on the monitor just like watching the stock market

  • 5/5 Aidan L. 1 year ago on Google
    David was our server, he was very friendly and spoke great English which is always a plus. He was extremely attentive and made sure we enjoyed our food and we were never without a drink. The cocktails were fantastic. We shared the sausage platter, certainly one to choose if you want a variety of different German Sausages. We sat by the river and had a wonderful night. Would recommend again in a heartbeat.

  • 5/5 shahar f. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food and service. The cocktails are very good, and a huge verity of beers

  • 4/5 Noor V. 1 year ago on Google
    wanted to try some german food and that is what we got. dishes tasted good and wasn’t too expensive! vegan and veggie dishes available!! (i would recommend the tofu-currywurst for the full german experience)

  • 5/5 Laura M. 1 year ago on Google
    Very cool bar with excellent German food! There is an interesting concept with a beer ‘stock exchange’ where the price changes based on the demand. There are tickets all around the restaurant- makes for a fun challenge to beat the bar 😂

  • 4/5 Nick M. 1 year ago on Google
    Came for the German eats and drinks. Was not disappointed. The sauerkraut was insanely good. Make sure you sit outside along the river.

  • 4/5 Maggie 1 year ago on Google
    Great German food that one must try while in Germany. The sausage with sauerkraut was excellent and potato soup was delicious. The beer recommended by our friendly server was so good (no idea what the name was). So ole tart dessert was pretty good too. One less star ⭐️ due to the rude owner unfortunately who is hoarding quite a few outside empty tables and treated everyone who asked about those tables in such a bad manner. (Very unprofessional!) All other waiting staff seems very nice 😊

  • 3/5 Zoe W. 2 years ago on Google
    Not a good vegan food place sadly. Lovely staff!! Place was what I expected a German beer house to be, and what i wanted. The beer was great and we had plenty of it. But sadly their vegan tofu currywurst was awful. Strange texture and not very much flavour. There was another option which might be better.

  • 5/5 Sauerkraut M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great location, helpful staff, nice interior. Very welcoming vibes. Good value for price and portions. Amazing sauerkraut with beer and regular latte macchiato with wiener apfelstrudel. Recommend!

  • 4/5 Nils Van Z. 2 years ago on Google
    We had a table outside, enjoying the "autumn" sun and view across the river. Basic but nice food. Good and friendly service although when we were there, it was 'understaffed' but the waiter nevertheless managed it well and was honest to guests who came after us to tell them that it could take a bit longer.

  • 5/5 Ronan M. 2 years ago on Google
    Get that into you. Lovely beer. Lovely mugs. And currywurst 👌🤤

  • 4/5 Catherine H. 2 years ago on Google
    Staff is very helpful and friendly and food is reasonably priced and delicious. I ordered potato soup and farmers salad. The soup was rich and the sausage make it taste nicer. The salad as in the picture was filling too. Loved the food

  • 5/5 spkki 2 years ago on Google
    Very cool place. Definitely worth a visit if you're into the idea of a beer stock exchange
