I always liked Donau, both as a musician who played there a couple of times and as a listener. Tonight, the two people running the venue turned a wonderful concert by Hilde into a terrible experience. One of them screamed at the audience who were standing outside during the break - including the musicians who were playing. He was definitely the loudest and possibly irritated the neighbors more than us. Then, as soon as the concert ended, before the audience could really enjoy the wonderful feeling after Hilde’s performance, the same screaming person made a very loud announcement that they were short on staff and were closed. We were forced to leave the bar and when we confronted them about their disrespectful attitude, they were extremely rude. Horrible people who certainly should not be allowed to work there. I am deeply disappointed. The musicians who played there were also irritated and had hardly any time to relax after their concert and have a drink with their friends. Terrible experience, really. On my boycott list as venues in Berlin (which is a...
Read moreWe went for a taco pop up, and the food was amazing, but we had to remind the bartender for our drinks several times, then we didn't know there was a concert starting at 20:30 (so for eating and chatting is terrible) and they have 0 information online. Moreover, the women was very rude and they asked us for morney before the performance. I get the whole: support the arts, but the music on top today was terrible and the vibe from the weiter was incredibly rude. I have been in many jazz bars (eg: yorckschlösschen) and never had such a terribme experience. We literally couldnt wait to leave. Then, wheb ordering the bill, we had to pay 1 euro more and it wasnt announced anywhere. Rude and horrible service, and for Berlim I am used to this, but weiters rolling eyes, it is too much. Also a margarita for 7,50 that has only two fingers of volume in the glass (20cl in total!!) it...
Read moreAmazing live music, the bartenders are very nice and the drinks are ok for the price. The place is comfortable but you should make sure to be there earlier cause otherwise it’ll be crowded as the venue is quite small (which I love anyway). The only thing, which I find very annoying and disgusting, is that smoking is allowed. This is completely selfish and it’s even worse in a place SO small like this, where you literally breath the smoke from the people sitting next to you. I complained about that and one of the workers told me “in this bar smoking is allowed, so leave if you don’t like it”. That was the reason why I stopped visiting this place. It’s...
