    Rotating beers on tap and seasonal cocktail menu, all served by lovely, knowledgeable bar keeps. My favourite place to get a sloe gin fizz.

    Delicious cocktails and all of the vibes. Cool bar filled with items collected across the owners' trips on the John Muir trail.

    Great cocktails, craft beer, and Adams Family pinball near the men's room. Can be smokey sometime but not nearly as bad as most cocktail bars in Berlin.

    Cocktail menus change monthly; ask the friendly bartenders for advice. Great bourbon and rum also good on the rocks. And try that black beer for a bit of a change.

    Cannot emphasize how inviting and friendly the staff is. Definitely the highlight of the place. Good cocktails, room for groups and pinball

    They really take the cake for experimenting with drinks- one cocktail was served with the glass upside down, trapping the smoke. Really great!

    Rotating cocktail menu every month. Pitchers. Craft beer. American hangout. Had my birthday there before. Love the brick feel.

    Good cocktails, including strong classics (off-menu). Nice vibe and some outdoor seating for when it warms up.

    Finally some expat bartenders opened a bar who actually know how to run a bar and make cocktails. Great atmosphere, fair price, chill staff!

    Great cocktails and friendly service. Cool vibe but can get quite smoky. Try the "date night" cocktail.

    Famous for cocktails but I go for the atmosphere and craft beers. Would recommend an Anchor Steam or Atlantik Ale.

    Their interior is very charming. Their ever changing cocktail menu is very creative, try something new today!

    It's a great bar, but the California theme isn't for me. I didn't fly half way round the world to drink Anchor Steam, which is brewed three miles from my house...

    Great cocktails, good music, a bit overpriced for Berlin. Overall - great winter bar.

    Cocktails are above average for Berlin standards. Quite crowded during weekends. Very smokey. Cool vibe and rather trendy.

    Tasty drinks, seasonal menus. Order at the bar, but prepare to wait ten minutes standing in line at the bar when it gets crowded.

    The only place I have discovered to serve IPA in Berlin so far. Go here if you miss Brooklyn.

    The best tip: Ask Gordon which drink to get. Bartender choice is always best!

    Trendy pub/bar, cocktails that sound fancy but don't taste so great. Trendy beginning twenties English speaking crowd

    The French waiter there was super rude and completely out of line with us. Never had a bad experience there until that guy pretty much assaulted us.
