Das Gift — Restaurant in Berlin

Reading the reviews here I should say that Das Gift is no longer a Scottish bar as the owners have changed just in case people were wondering.

I had a really negative experience here.

Booked the venue for 40ppl at roughly 22:00 for my wedding post dinner party.

It was really hard to get anyone to answer on Instagram and eventually I got an answer but this behaviour continued through the whole process of booking the venue.

I paid 150e for a private room on the night. When we arrived (at 22:45) the barman had no idea we were coming. The place was not privatised and the sound system only operated with an old school jack and no other cables were provided.

When I reported the bad service to the owner, he said he would discuss with his partner and work on getting me the money back as he had 'dropped the ball' and forgot we were coming.

Cut to a month later with no answer and no refund. I sent regular messages to follow up and finally got through.

Their answer was that I would only get half the money back as I arrived at midnight so they had cancelled all their shows for that night and therefore I lost them money but yet they accepted responsibility etc. even though they had no idea we were coming and services were not rendered on their part etc.

Might I add that the bar was empty when I arrived apart from a few people from my own party who had arrived earlier and we closed the bar out at 05:00 so I think we drank more than our fair share.

I wanted to close this chapter so accepted the money but really disappointed at this type of behaviour as I find placing the blame on a customer when admitting fault and then not accepting the responsibility and gaslighting them into thinking it was their fault.

I find them to be pleasant enough to speak to and I'm sure they're nice people but zero head...

I was there for the Scottish Breakfast they have once a month (first Sunday). They say it's from noon to 5pm. We arrived at around 2 pm, they already had run out of mushrooms so those were missing with the vegan breakfast. Also we've been told we have to wait for 45 minutes to an hour for food. Okay. When some friends arrived later, there were only two food items left (that was still before 3). So basically breakfast was over at 3, even though it should be available until 5. The food was okay, but really not more than okay. If you only do it once a month, do it better or don't do it. If you ever wanted to try haggis, in a meat, vegetarian or vegan option, go for it, but lower your expectations and be there early. I wouldn't do it again. I still give three stars as this is not their primary business and the pub and the staff is actually lovely, however, the next time I'll go there it will be for drinks. There are enough decent breakfast or brunch places in this area that you don't have to rely...

Super unorganized Pub Quiz night. I reserved a table two weeks in advance via Instagram, knowing that pub quizzes are very popular, to have a little farewell party with my colleagues as I was leaving Berlin. The reservation was confirmed the same day via Instagram. Well, when we got there we were told that I had made the reservation too early and should've sent a reminder... Even when I got a confirmation? So basically there was no farewell party for me, we had to leave the place. They did offer us a round for free but understandably so we weren't in the mood for that. So watch out and don't book your tables...
