Bar Tausend

This is a five star DB club bar lounge. If you love DB clubs, and you are a DB yourself, you'd love this spot. However, if you're over being a DB don't go here. It is like any Hollywood crappy club, except it's far less ventilated. Smoke permeates the air more than at the penny slots in Vegas.

The drinks are terrible too. I had two different drinks before I couldn't stand it anymore.

Just not good

My favorite place in Berlin, thus far. Atmosphere. Service, food and drinks all get 5 starts. Highly recommended

Lame as shite. Go somewhere else. Super pretentious and bad music. Overpriced drinks, if you want to have fun, go somewhere else.

Great place, my wife and I really enjoyed the drinks, the ambiance, and the service. Even when it got crowded our drinks were made in a timely manner. The music selection was perfect. The crowd was eclectic ranging from young to old, and it seemed everyone was having a great time. My wife I made friends with a couple from Amsterdam. The bartenders do a great job here. And to cap it all off, the bar provided cigars and being from America I took advantage of the Cuban selection. We will return to Bar Tausend when we come back to Berlin.

Nice enough place. Good design, staff is cute-ish. Sure, the drinks are expensive but that kind of goes with the classy speakeasy atmosphere I guess. Bit of a corporate crowd tbh. Used to be cooler, still pretty cool.

5 stars ,and I would give it more if possible!
Amazing place in Berlin.Phenomenal drinks,music and ambience.Classy crowd.Food is great too,had the best tuna steak in my life in this restaurant.
The place if perfect for a night out when you want to have dinner and than have a drink at the bar without going clubbing.
My favourite place in Belin,and one of my favourite bars in general.

Super comfortable. The illumination in the back of the room makes you feel as if you're in an elegant Speak Easy from the 1920's. The music is a nice touch, but sometimes out of place depending on the band.


I prefer the crowd here to say Solar, which is better suited to the Brandenburg crowd. Bar Tausend is perfect for drinks after Grill Royale. Take care coz they don't stay open too late, which is a pity.

The nondescriptive steel door that act as entrance does not give up much about what to be expected.

Once inside you will find a venue perfectly suited for numerous after dinner drinks. Their Gin & Tonic is sheer perfection.

The clientel mostly consists of slightly older, well heeled eurotrash and the well curated music selection that is played at high volume perfectly fits the bit blaséd seen everything been everywhere atmosphere.

All in all, a place not to be missed while doing a night on the town in Berlin.

This is a truly hidden place. Underneath the S-Bahn bridge at Friedrichstrasse, one has to ring the bell on a rather unassuming metal door. Through the door (if they let you in), you find this eclectic restaurant totally decorated in black with rather moody lighting at the back of the bar. The restaurant houses a cool open kitchen, everything is freshly done and don't bother trying to come here without a reservation. We all went for the "best of starters" and "best of main dishes" and this turned out to be a good choice.


We had a variety of tapas style starters, eaten with chop sticks and all of it was pretty excellant, especially the sashimi salad with miso dressing. We also enjoyed the cevice which is quite nice and unusual as this is a Peruvian dish. The grilled prawns with garlic and the grilled pepper - even though very tasty were more or less average. For the "best of main dishes" we had black cod with a sweet crust that melts on the tongue while eating. Also the beef was cooked just right and came sliced on top of a nice vegetable platter. With it came flavoured rice, coriander polenta and Japanese noodles in a miso-style sauce. Even thought we were pretty all stuffed by now, we still bravely went for two different desserts. These weren't too brilliant, to be honest, (eg. the Green Tea Creme brullee didn't taste much of green tea, and my chocolate pudding was a little overcooked) but our expections have been also very high after enjoying the fabulous dinner menu.


The wine selection is tolerable, and not terribly cheap but still worthwhile. After so much food, we just about managed to stagger to the stylish bar to enjoy a few drinks. Also there, they had a lot of unusual exotic drinks compared to other cocktail bars.


Overall, a very pleasant evening in an unusual place which should be visited if you are ever in Berlin.

Cool enough location, but quite douchey... they're trying to be a bit too cool. We went here for dinner (10 people) and the bill was just under €1000, so appropriate name. Our sever admitted she was new, and we were understanding of that. But wow. Totally incompetent. Some of the highlights include refusing to bring us an extra wine glass, not knowing any of the drinks on the drink list despite us mentioning the name of the drink we like to order. She also didn't explain what any of the food they brought from our set menu was, so it was a bit mysterious as to what each thing was. I asked another server a couple of questions and he was very knowledgeable and helpful and funny. The food was quite good and it €55 a person, was reasonable. The next things were OK but quite small. We also got yelled at for trying to take a group picture. You're not berghain... drop the attitude. And yes despite the terrible service we still gave a hell of a tip...
