I first discovered Cafe Zapata when I stayed in a nearby hostel for a few days with friends. We found it to be the most interesting bar around, fantastic atmosphere, good people from all over Europe enjoying a great night with no trouble at all. Superb !

Re-visited again this week (29/5/08), once again superb and exactly the same as my last visit. The barman on the 3rd floor bar was brilliant, a real character !

Wonderful place and people. Excellent music.I just spent an evening there, I haven't tried the food because I didn't know it was a restaurant too.I think that everyone could enjoy it, mainly young people.

Forget trying to locate a venue like this in the UK - health & safety, planning officials and every conventional nanny state minded derrr would want it closed down! Set in a partially destroyed building, which is now home to artists & designers, eateries and avant garde cinema; this bar reflects a gritty realilty based on heavy duty ...

Freakin LOVED this place - went there 3 out of 7 nights in Berlin, live music, awesome bar(s) - not so much just Cafe Zapata but the whole building and courtyard too (it used to be an old jewish department store) now squatters are in it and theres 2 cinema's a steel shop next door an art gallery upstairs and a few different bars. on the top ...

My wife and I recently had dinner at this place - I sincerely believe the "artist" area known as "Tacheles" should be torn down. Full of truly awful people welding bits of metal together to create "art" to be sold in malls, pretending to be against the establishment. Cabbage and Leek Soup was almost inedible, salad was ...

Its a squat and bar. I didn't eat there, didn't seem like a restaurant to me, more like a cool night club that was packed till 6 in the morning. Very hip but casual. good looking crowd and bartenders to boot. totally fantastic.

Cafe Zapata is the worst restaurant I have Ever been to. The service was pathetic, the food was under-cooked and tasted awful and for the price it was it was a waste of time and money!

Is very nice place, is not a usualy bar, it has its own personality.
And is not only the Café but all the building.
My advise, if you visit Berlin you must to go there.

This place was very very ok I guess it could be better but theres one weird thing I wouldn't know I've never been there ok.
