    Lovely place. A little quiet gem. Spoiled with drink choices and good price too. One of our most favourite places when visiting Berlin

    Upstairs bar, an intimate gig. Table service for drinks whenever you wanted it. Best chips! Doorstop of a ciabatta and a very enthusiastic owner who clearly cares about the Why Not, the music and the customers.

    Stumbled upon this cafe/bar. What a unique and quirky place. Beer garden beautiful. Staff so friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious, fresh and cooked to order. Will definitely be back again. Hidden little gem. Loved everything about it.

    If you are in the area and you want a simple western breakfast, like scrambled eggs on toast, an omelette or even a full English then forget Nook and come here. Way cheaper, way more satisfying. Very friendly and welcoming staff to boot. The Mexican food also looked really nice too.
