Alt Berlin — Restaurant in Uppsala kommun

We wanted to have dinner here and called to book a table for five. They said it is a too small group to book for, we should just come there and get a table without booking. We went there and waited for 45 minutes for a table, at which time they still couldn't give us a time by which we can expect to get a table. We finally left and went elsewhere to eat. There are many tables for 2 people, however, I don't recommend it when you are more than two people, unless you go during odd hours. It probably works well if you are only two people, (strangely, couples were seated at tables for 4). The employees were very nice and apologetic about our experience (hence the higher score), but this is not something I expect from a restaurant at this...

First off I'm German (from Munich, Bavaria). As such there are good and bad things about the Alt Berlin where the positives outweigh in the end.

Who would I recommend it for? Friends who are looking to enjoy some drinks together and people who want to get a first taste of German drinks and cuisine.

Who isn't this for? Picky people who expect top notch cuisine and who prefer a quiet place.

The food was above average, although it is not what I would call 'traditional' or 'authentic'. The Gin and Tonics were spot on however!

Overall, it felt a bit too crowded, too smelly, and tried to be too many things at the same time without excelling...

This place tries to be too many things at once. Traditional German Wirtshaus and a modern restaurant with scandic design. This creates an atmosphere as wholesome as a MAX restaurant next to a highway. It is overcrowded and loud. This also negatively affects the service. The staff is overburdened and as friendly as a cashier in a German supermarket. The food is decent but it’s rather a modern interpretation of German kitchen than actual traditional dishes. The beer selection offers a few beers that you would not usually get in Sweden but not many brands the average German...
