We used to recommend this place to anyone who was in search of a quality cocktail bar. Unfortunately, it’s under new management and has gone downhill in that regard, so we can no longer recommend it. Let me explain:
1) The physical size of the food vs cocktail menu speaks volumes about where the priority is. This is odd because I’d think alcohol would net more profit.
2) There are no mocktails on the menu, and the cocktail menu is limited. There are a few mocktails on the downstairs menu but when asked about it, we were told that menu is just downstairs and couldn’t be made up here. Any well stocked bar and true mixologist can make anything on or off menu. This is true for any cocktail. Several guests in our party stuck with water as a result. In the staff’s defense they did offer to make one kind of mocktail, but please offer a menu that at minimum matches downstairs.
3) Service was very limited. We were told to order at the bar. When approaching the bar, we were told they would take orders at the table. They never checked on us if we wanted another round, so we didn’t order another.
4) Any true upscale cocktail bar will offer various spirits for tasting. There is no whiskey or scotch menu.
5) All our drinks were very strong, which is fine if all you’re looking for is a good bang for your alcohol buck. However, a good quality cocktail balances all ingredients. We felt the mixologist skills were several steps below what a place like this needs.
Overall, it’s fine if you’re looking for a different place to order food and basic drinks, but don’t expect anything out of the ordinary. Which is unfortunate because this place used to be something special. This review is obviously written from the context of experiencing the “old Berlin”, so your mileage may vary.

Very cool new 1930’s style Bar and lounge. It’s a small cozy space so reservations are very recommended. We went early on a Friday and were able to snag a table. Menu is simple but includes all the favorite drinks and food items. Lots of delicious choices for snacks as well. I tried the Carmel Apple pie with ice cream and It did not disappoint! Very tasty and the perfect size. All sales are automated so settling up is a breeze. Highly recommended!

The drinks were great and so was the bartender. The host at the front was also very nice and welcoming. We had a great time and will definitely be going back! Highly recommend.

My husband and I had our first experience at The Berlin last evening on my daughter’s recommendation. Loved the ambiance and the jazz band was great.We sat at the bar which seats about 6. Two bartenders were on duty and our drink order was taken right away. While our cocktails were delicious, the service ended there. We had to literally flag down the bartenders who were three feet away for our food order and bill. We were considering a glass of wine with dinner but both of our “servers” were totally consumed with conversing with an acquaintance at the bar. I have been better served and felt more welcome at a bar that seats 20 with only one bartender . As a matter of fact, that’s exactly what happened when we left The Berlin and went to Brown’s for a nightcap!
We liked it enough to try it again, in hopes of better service.

Highly recommended if you want a place that is cozy, chic, and with a very unique upscale vibe. The staff are excellent at their signature creative cocktails, and also make all the old standards. Everyone I’ve known who has tried it has loved it here! (Most negative reviews are from those who have never actually been here.)

Really enjoyed this hidden bar. Wouldn’t have known about it if it weren’t for a friend. Great atmosphere, very quiet and relaxing. Menu is a bit pricey but I guess that’s what you get in order to avoid the loud obnoxious bar scene elsewhere.

I had my husbands 50th Birthday party at The Berlin. The staff was friendly, fun, and accomodating. I could go on and on about the fun that was had. But most of all I can not thank everyone that worked that night enough for all of their hard work. All of my guests had a great time. Everyone raved about the space, the drinks, the food, and the service. Most of all my husband had THE BEST time! Thank you all so much!!!

I was a fan of June Farms (I don’t know how many $14 cocktails I’ve bought over the past two years there) and was looking forward to trying the Beer Garden and perhaps this place but will not be supporting any of the owner’s businesses anymore. Pretty ironic considering he was all over the media over the summer complaining about how restrictive and unfair NYS was being with Covid regulations.
