Quality of Drinks
❤️❤️❤️
A reasonable bar given its size, but focusing on covering the basics rather than specialising.

Décor
❤️❤️❤️❤️
A one room affair that has been going for almost 50 years, simple chunky furniture and a naturally social space with table sharing, with a small bar. Walls decorated with small mementos of previous performances at the venue.

Superb venue with a genius loci you can feel regardless of whether it’s a performance night or not. The social setup naturally invites crosschat and conversation, while the atmosphere in the room is the height of conviviality, warmth, friendliness and cosiness.

Familiar pricing for the city centre. 
DescriptionA superb venue est. 1976 hosting music and live events in its tiny 35 square metre one room setup. A Rauch/Muzikkneipe par excellence, with a genius loci you can feel regardless of whether it’s a performance night or not.

The social setup naturally invites cross-chat and conversation, while the atmosphere in the room is the height of conviviality, warmth, friendliness and cosiness.

This isn’t one of those scuzzy places however, the surroundings are almost closer to a Spanish tapas bar than a Berlin punk dive, and that explains why there’s a good spread and cross-section of people here. For those who can’t abide or tolerate smoke, it may be too much to handle, for everyone else, this is evidence without a doubt one of the finest bars in Europe.
