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.

The service at this restaurant was extremely disappointing. We experienced delays right from the start, having to wait a significant amount of time to be seated and even longer to receive a menu and place our orders. The most frustrating part was the food service; we ordered schnitzel and a sausage platter, but only received the sausage platter more than 30 minutes after the schnitzel. The waitstaff acknowledged their mistake of giving our platter to another table, yet rather than apologizing or compensating for the error, they argued and raised their voices at us when we mildly complained. Initially, they suggested offering a complimentary drink to make amends, but instead, they created an embarrassing scene. To make matters worse, the roof started leaking due to the rain, soaking customers and their food. The employees were rude and irritable throughout the experience, ultimately demanding that we leave. This was a terrible dining experience, and I strongly advise against visiting this establishment. The man in the photo was one of those who argued with us.

Absolute worst service EVER. We waited a while to get seated and even longer to get a menu or order food. What was worse was the fact how we ordered schnitzel and a sausage platter to only get the sausage platter over 30 minutes after the schnitzel. The waiters made an excuse that they had given the platter to another table and admitted their mistake but instead of apologising or making up for the mistake they instead argued and yelled at us for our light complaining. Before they started a scene, they hinted that they would give us a complimentary drink but instead threw an embarrassing fit. It was raining and the whole roof started leaking on people and their food. I was so disappointed at how rude and cranky these employees were and how they demanded us to leave. HORRIBLE service. Do not come here. The man in the photo argued with us.

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.

Uff schwieriges Pflaster: What should you expect so close to Friedrichsstraße, but even there for there's better options and nicer locations. The food is supposed to be "typically Berlin" but you rather feel like in a Bavarian Beer Hall. Food is mediocre, seems to be highly convenience based, the sausages are okay the pork knuckle as well, but overall everything is highly overpriced, at least in relation to the food quality that you get. The beer stock-trade sounds like a nice idea. But it's not that you save a ton of money, rather it's a nice gag. If it's working at all...

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.
