Elyse EstradaAugust 13, 2015Super cute and large outdoor patio. Every night is something different from a rave to tango lessons so be prepared. Order the Camembert with Chutney. It's unlike anything I've ever tasted.

Philippe DessureaultJuly 19, 2016Big plates and very tasty food! Nice crowd and there's a big terrace if you mind people dancing while you eat. Try the red wine Spatburgunden if you like sweet wine! Loved our experience there!

Mmle BlaséNovember 9, 2015Great food, cheerful atmosphere. The service was slow, most likely because the house was very full. The fresh wheat beer was good. Oldies goldies on the dance floor.

Benedict BudimanMay 27, 2014Try the Schnitzel- it's awesome. For those who care about menu variety, the menu has a reduced number of meals in the back yard, so make sure you sit in the front area of the Biergarten.Upvote2Downvote
LolliesAugust 31, 2014Very special bar/restaurant in a former ballhouse. There are different dance lessons and shows every night (Salsa on Monday, Tango on Tuesday and Swing on Wednesday). Really cool place!

Jake SmithJuly 7, 2015The pizza was excellent, as was the atmosphere. Come in the early evening and linger in the garden, then move inside to watch whatever dance performance they have scheduled.Upvote2Downvote
Nicolò LettieriJune 23, 2018The (huge) asparagus with hollandaise sauce were delicious. I really like that they only do seasonal dishes.

An iconic place for Berlin.The terrace is charming during summers while at winter time, one can spend hours just watching people dancing inside. Food is decent:German kitchen mainly with a pizza menuUpvoteDownvote

Ñusta NAugust 13, 2015Beautiful ballhaus, sitting in the garden is lovely. However i was underwhelmed with their pizza. Best to eat somewhere else and have drinks here and watch the people dance!UpvoteDownvote
Marius WatzSeptember 6, 2017If you can get to see the upstairs dance hall with the mirrors (some of which have WWII bullet holes), it is quite a sight. Decent Italian food, good for groups.UpvoteDownvote
Lucas GurattiJuly 7, 2016The wiener scnitzel is great. It's fun to watch couples dancing tango while you're eatingUpvote1Downvote
Beth GibbiSeptember 27, 2016Probably a great place to tango... Not so enticing during the day... The garden could do with a bit of nurturing. It probably looks completely different at night! Would definitely go!UpvoteDownvote
MatthieuAugust 27, 2017Wonderful location! Coming after 8pm means paying 7€ entry. Dance classes are nice, food alright, drinks fairly priced but location is the main selling point.UpvoteDownvote
