Victoria Bar

I ended up in here late this evening with a few friends. The cocktails were amazing, super delicious! But the two lads behind the bar were amazing! Super friendly and cool, professional but also chatty and sound. I'm not in this part of town a lot but I'll totally come back just because the barmen were so lovely :)

Tonight, I was insulted with racial slurs by a drunk women and even tho we informed the staff, the lady was not asked to leave. I hope she didn't get to insult anyone else. Definitely not a safer space when it comes to racism.

The staff here was really unfriendly. They didn’t like that I didn’t want to leave my small backpack in their wardrobe and the waiter kept insisting in a rude way so I had to wait and couldn’t take a seat. Then his colleague, an older waitress, actually pushed me from behind because I was standing in the way even though I was only waiting because they wouldn’t let me sit. She then told me aggressively not to wear my backpack. All of this happened within the first five minutes after we came in and it made all four of us feel so uncomfortable we just wanted to leave. Never experienced something like this in Berlin, would not recommend this place.

Great drinks, great service, very accommodating about seating

Home to the rudest, most disrespectful, condescending waiter of all time. I approached this waiter outside to politely ask for directions, I was spoken down to and told he was “in the middle of a conversation”, while speaking to someone outside (visibly not busy at all), and implied he was too important to give me 5 seconds to answer a question. When I moved inside to find someone else to help me, he rudely said “I’m ready now”, just to make me feel small. Disgusting attitude, I’ve never been spoken to or treated this way by the HELP, and hope he gets a reality check. Here’s a spoiler, my friend: if your job is to write down people’s orders on a piece of paper for a living, you’re not the most important person in the room and your desperation to feel important as a result of your insignificance isn’t a justification to be nasty and inhumane to people who actually are more important than you.

Great cocktails - we took 4 different cocktails and all of them were really good. We also ordered a cheese plate that contained really fine cheese. The atmosphere was cozy and not too loud. The service was good as well. All cocktails in the happy hour are 8.90 EUR.

Victoria Bar quickly became our favourite local bar in Berlin. This place has such an amazing and tasty selection of cocktails. Amazing bar staff who are so well informed and friendly really take this place to another level. It attracts a more cultured crowd yet still friendly.

Still tops my list of favorite cocktail bars, for the love of quality cocktails - but also for the green-door-ish love of Beate, Herrmann and Stefan ("Die Drei von der Tankstelle") who keep rocking my boat since over 25ish years! 😉

I went to this bar tonight after reading the good reviews and wanting to experience a good cocktail bar in Germany. The front door was locked. I looked in the window and motioned for someone to come to the door. The older male bartender with the military style hat opened the door. I asked if they were open and explained that the door was locked. He scolded me explaining that the door is always locked; chewed me out stating I should've rang the bell. The doorbell is on the wall opposite of the door and not clearly marked as the doorbell of the establishment. I apologized and said it was my first time there. I went inside and sat at the bar. This bartender was utterly disgusted by my existence the entire time I was there. Is it because I'm a Black Man? American? The younger slim bartender with a mustache was very nice & helpful. He made me an excellent old fashioned. I told him this was my second time in Berlin and I'm running the Berlin Marathon. We had a nice brief conversation about the marathon and runners, and he invited back to the bar after the marathon. After I finished my drink I sat there with an empty glass for at least 10 minutes with no staff acknowledging me. So finally I waved to the older bartender wearing the hat. He rolled his eyes & head at me and then walked over to me. I told him I was ready to pay, and I paid him. Before I left I shook the hand of the nice bartender and he said see you Sunday. This is my second time in Berlin and third time in Germany, and this is the worst I have ever been treated.

Decent Bar in Berlin. Im a huge fan of the decor - Its very accurate mid century. Come early and have your pick of where to sit..otherwise you might show up to a full house...The service was average for Berlin which means it's about 5-8 min before someone takes your order or acknowledges you. this was fine here because the menu is thick with lots of interesting cocktails to choose. So no point off for that. Pricing is ok but i chose happy hour which is acceptable not sure what normal pricing is as i might have taken a star off if i had known..the happy hour pricing is where things should be for Berlin. I feel that this is definite list maker so you have to stop here when visiting berlin or if your in the mood for a well made drink.

This is one of my favourite bars in Berlin. If you are into mixology, or like old-school cocktails, this is the real deal. It seems straight out of the 20s, with the old-timer staff to boot. I recall the barstaff wearing some sort of WWII-looking navy-ish hats. The menu is a hardcover like a vintage book. It has dozens of cocktails listed, made with anything from gin to champagne, to brandy. I've tried a few, and since they're pretty strong, can only have a few each time I go! The pink lady, and the aviation are among my favourites since I am a fan of gin in cocktails... The prices are a little high--8-15 euro per cocktail, and the service is slow, (as I found this the case in most places in Berlin) but it is definitely worth the trip.

I have been in place several times and the drinks are simply the best. The owner is a recingnized bartender in the city and she looks for nothing but the best in order to create flavored cocktails. The place is not cheap but after you go there you just don't want to have cocktails any where else. Happy hour is a very good excuse if you are not sure!!!! The crowd is a little elite but cool. The place is clean, service is very good and friendly even they are not really fluent in English. The best dring is the Mathai. I have tried many others but this is my favorite and every time they make it just right!!!! always the same flavour. They also have food but i have never taste it. The only bad thing about this place is that after 22:00 the ashtrays come out and everyone stars smoking!! I hate smoking bars. You need to try it...!!!!

I had been told by a friend who loves Berlin that this is the place to go for cocktails. Then upon research, I found out they have happy hour from 6:30pm-9:30pm! This cocktail bar, with a 1920's vibe, and handsome bartenders will do you right. I doubt you can have a bad drink in here! I love a bar that splits its drinks into types of liquor because otherwise, I have to scan drinks with tequila in it. I stuck with the Spanish Harlem for the night and my friend loved her Gimlet. One of the best things about this place was that behind the bar was a handwritten sign that said "come on, just a sip for daddy".

Charm, class, style and atmosphere all come together at Vicky's with an amazing combination of coziness and sophistication (without posh); manifested by the very friendly and capable bar staff and vintage (not dingy) modest stylish interior design. The cocktail menu is among the best and interesting I have seen and tested throughout my travels. If you can't find what suits your kin in the menu the bar staff will assist you in satisfying your drinking desires. Don't be intimidated by the door bell, you will most likely receive a friendly welcome.

Not exactly what you would expect in the Kurfürstenstr. Area.an extremely cool location with a berliner 1920s Charme,Huge list of great cocktails and friendly Bar men.two thumbs up.

We have really mixed feelings about Victoria. The fair score would be probably 3.5. They have really big choice of good drinks. Interior is nice, not so many tables with long bar with plenty of seats. The one thing that significantly lowers the score is atmosphere. On Saturday night the average age was way over 40, with great majority of couples. It felt rather like romantic restaurant than a lively place. So we were wondering how does it look like during the week. Most probably rather emptish.

This place used to be fantastic, literally like stepping in an episode of mad men. Classy sophisticated and great service. Today it's populated by some kids in hoodies, orders are wrong and there is substantial pressure to pay and leave once the 15€ drink is drank. If it was for my experience today I would leave only two stars. One more for the previous four years of excellence.

Great place, great atmosphere, very good bartenders and pretty cheap prices regarding quality... It's classic cocktail bat at its best with a modern twist regarding decorum.

Located right across the street from our hotel, we would have never gone in if I hadn't read the yelp reviews about it. The outside is a very simple neon sign and that's it. But we are glad we did. Immediately when you walk in, you get a hit of old school charm and decor. And when you open up the drink menu, it hits you even more. Page after page after page of all the mixology classics (plus a few creations of their own). You aren't coming here for Vodka and Red Bull or things like that, you are coming for real mixed drinks made from scratch by people who know how to do it well. Both of us had 3 drinks each, and they were all delicious. The only criticism I would say is that they are a little pricy for what you get, but this sort of bar is rare nowadays so I'd still say it is worth it.

Went here after a recommendation from my friend, and I have the best fun in my life. Excellent cocktails!
