Normally, I am a fan of multifaceted things, but M.C. Müller is so multifaceted of a place that my experience there left me confused?
The many features of M.C. Müller (in my order of importance):
1. Burger joint: They have a decent selection of classic burgers, special burgers with special names like "Buff Daddy" and "Der Stenz," and their burger-of-the-month; basically, they come in all sorts and sizes. We indeed tried the Buff Daddy (supersized burger), der Stenz (burger with truffle oil), and the burger of the month [Angus beef burger with cheddar cheese, BBQ sauce, and the usual (lettuce, tomatoes, onions)]. The burgers were all delicious and easy to eat. My gripes are that the sizes of the burgers (except Buff Daddy) are a little small, and the prices are high for the portions we get (between 12-14 EUR per burger with fries).
2. Bar: Like the burgers, the selection of cocktails was plentiful, and they offered specials as well. The happy hour (daily from 18:00 until 20:00) offered classic drinks for 4.50 EUR. The drinks were tasty but strong. Drink at your own risk!
3. Club: This is where I was somewhat thrown off. I have eaten burgers in many locales, but it felt strange to me to eat a (messy) burger in a place where most of the ladies and gents are dressed to impress. As we ate our burgers, the place slowly got clubbier and clubbier. The DJ showed up, fewer burgers were coming out of the kitchen, and finally, the bouncer was already sitting outside when we left. We left (at this point) "the M.C. Müller Club," feeling a little out-of-place.
For many, M.C. Müller is probably an ideal place to get decent burgers, good drinks, and to hang out with the "hip" crowd. But for me, I just want a burger, no gimmicks needed!
