I understand that POC are minority in Berlin, but for a bar that describes itself as inclusive, the patrons are anything but accommodating. There is an air in this establishment that screams people of color are not welcome, from the selective service to the ugly stares and the horrible treatment from the patrons. The space is quite tight and people shove you with no respect, If you are BLACK please save yourself the dignity and skip this modern day “whites only” bar.
UPDATE: This bar owner has proceeded to invalidate MY EXPERIENCE by delegating his “BLACK” partner to respond to me. The unhinged nuance of their response to further gaslight my truth is mind boggling.

Anyone looking to enjoy themselves in Berlin would be well served doing in at...
Read moreNice bar with a cozy atmosphere.. HOWEVER a bartender caused a big mess yesterday. After pouring my drink on me (which can happen of course), I just said 'hey chill" with a friendly tone. However he misunderstood and tried to insult us upon warning him. He was more than impolite, frustrated and tried to threaten us for no reason. He didn't have the adequate tone with speaking with a customer and moreover working with stress. Such a pity that our first visit ended up in poor service and negative attitude (just because of this specific bartender which was a little bit molly and had a beard. The other staff were totally cool and polite ). I would recommend this bar normally, however warn you for the poor service because of the bartender with...
