Die Tagung — Restaurant in Berlin

I wanted to check this place out per a NYT article's recommendations on things to do in Berlin. Unfortunately didn't make it far beyond the entrance as the bar was fairly full even on this Monday night. The bartender wasn't particularly welcoming, when I asked if I could sit at the bar, he pushed the reservation sign at the seat I was pointing at towards me from what I remember... point taken that yes there was a reservation sign but I just wanted to check since I wasn't sure... perhaps I was perceived as rude since I asked in English, or coz I wasn't local and didn't know, or may be that's in keeping with the vibe of the bar, no idea. Obviously can't comment on the drinks, but yep, there was no effort made to accommodate me, though I also didn't ask. Oh...

Interior design and artifacts are quiet beautiful, however the bartender kept forgetting either to check on our oders or plainly forgot to bring the orders. When several customers went to the bar to remind of the orders or ask for menu to get attention , they got scolded in a extremely rude way since this "breaks covid rules". This has nothing to do with Berliner Schnauze. If you are asking people to stay on their tables, you must check on them frequently and certainly not forget orders. As a fellow gastronomer I couldnt imagine being this rude to paying customers. Tho the interior beauty deserves a solid 4 stars I must end up...

One of the really nice bars in that overcrowded and touristic area of Friedrichshain. Here you can feel and touch the spirit of former Eastern Berlin with original souvenirs and decors all around the bar. The staff is always friendly and the prices are really affordable. Not too small, so possible to come in with groups as well. Definitely recommended - don't miss it, I guarantee you will enjoy your...
