QBA in Berlin

Terrible, the waiter is incapable of serving a glass of wine...he leaves you hanging around for nothing...one of the waitresses this evening was looking through all the bottles and finally found nothing...when the very nice usual waitress didn't you're not there mediocre staff...I left after waiting 30 minutes without anything happening

Cuban restaurant with an extensive cocktail menu with happy hour until 7pm. The service was warm and welcoming, and the Cuban background music exuded chilled vibes.

Nice ambience, but the music need to be improved nothing authentic outside the weekend the weekends have a good DJ

The place is pretty good, Latin music, a small area where people dance and there are tables both inside and outside to smoke. The problem is that if you are overwhelmed by being surrounded by people, this is not your place. To get from the door to the bathroom you have to squeeze through the crowd, which is only 20 people but squeezed into the same area of ​​the bar. Elbow bumps and falling glasses. Other than that, the waiters are good and quite pleasant. The atmosphere with the people is incredible because it is very difficult to find a Latin atmosphere in Berlin. Good Latin atmosphere, little space and cheap and well-loaded drinks. I have spent some of my best nights in Berlin there.

Extremely slow, unfriendly service. Ordinary and overpriced food. What remains is the view of the Fernsehturm…

Very tasty food, great atmosphere, super friendly staff, delicious cocktails. Definitely there again on November 4th. Thanks to the QBA team.

The drinks are really, really good but the snacks (especially the nachos) are unfortunately quite the opposite. It's a total shame because the drinks and the ambience are great!

Can't pay with card less than 10€

Cool and very very hot place. We had a great time, the service is curiously chaotic but with a lot of kindness and joy. Please put on air conditioning!!!!! Despite the heat, 5⭐ 😊🙏🏼❤️

Nice little Cuban bar in Berlin. We had a drink here in the evening and were very positively surprised. The atmosphere was great and the cocktails were very authentic and delicious. Only the nachos were soggy, I can't recommend them.

Great staff, especially Joseph, great boss, great food, best experience while traveling to Berlin!

Joseph best waiter ever! Amazing place! Cuban vibes!

We popped in for a drink for a couple of minutes. everything was fine

Incredible service, food, and drinks! I really recommend the flan as a desert

Delicious cocktails, authentic food and revolutionary ambience. The rum rolls through your bones like fire!

Live Cuban music, delucious food and cocktails. Happy hour until 19:00.

Wir waren diesmal sehr enttäuscht vom Service des QBA. Die Bedienung kam lange nicht, war dann unfreundlich und schüttete uns zur Krönung auch noch einen roten Cocktail über die Kleidung. Das könne ja mal passieren, war die Entschuldigung. Auf unseren Hinweis, dass sie die Reinigung zahlen müssten, kam der Vorschlag, uns zwei Drinks zu spendieren. Das war okay, aber weiterhin war die Bedienung sehr unfreundlich. Die Rechnung stimmte zum Schluss auch nicht. Schade, denn die Hemingway-Platte war wieder lecker, aber wir werden nach den Erfahrungen nicht mehr hingehen.

We were there for the live music and it was very worth it! The atmosphere was fantastic and exuberant. The little shop was completely full. The Cuba Libre were also particularly good, the mixture was top and there was no shortage of rum.

Nice authentic atmosphere, friendly waiter and delicious cocktails. The food was also quite good. I was a bit disappointed with Hemingway's favorite food, only 2 shrimp? I was hoping for a little more from the title. Nevertheless, I would like to try something different again.

Lots of Latinos in the store, so Spanish is mainly spoken there, which I think is very cool. Food, drinks and atmosphere great. Live music on Friday and Saturday. Eating, drinking, dancing all in one.

Very lovely! good music kind people had an amazing time and felt safe even if football people were there which says a lot!!

We had the appetizer plate for two which was delicious. I had the Fajita de polo and asked if they could make it spicy. The chef hit the right spicy spot so to say. The Fajita was really tasty. My gf a vegan dish (in banana leaf with mais) of which I can't remember the name but tasted great as well. The service was fast. The waitresses were very Friendly. And the music was nice as well. Until the football match began. But then again you can't have it all. Next time I'm in Berlin I might eat here again if I'm in the neighborhood

My best friend and I have been here for the fourth time and we would come back again and again. The staff is super friendly, the food tastes delicious and the drinks are simply amazing.

The music a little loud but the atmosphere is good

Great service, good selection of alcoholic beverages and the music is awesome

I found very good cocktails for a moderate price

Unfortunately it's no longer what it used to be. Mochito tastes like the neighbor's, just adulterated but €9.50 is completely tourist prices. The service was nice but that was it. Unfortunately no recommendation

And I've been there several times and everything has happened to me, they stole my jacket in a toxic and drug environment and to make matters worse, a waiter with a white hat looks at you terribly. In short, I've been there several times and if you're very lucky you can meet some nice person. .but after going they rob me, I tell the man in the white hat and on top of that he talks terribly to you, it makes you think, it's not worth going more than once or being there for more than an hour.

A really nice Cuban restaurant. Often with live music.

It's probably a popular restaurant for all generations, I think it's quaint, the cocktails are great and everything around it just fits.

Great cocktails, good prices, great atmosphere

I've never been to Cuba before, but this restaurant seems very authentic to me. As soon as you enter the premises, it is like taking a trip to the island. With rhythmic sounds in my ears, I ordered Caribbean food and drinks with a smile from a very friendly waitress. By the way, my smile stayed on my face throughout the entire stay. Not only the food, the drinks, the service and the ambience are first class. Unfortunately you can only give five stars. Many thanks to the entire team for the wonderful evening. It definitely wasn’t my last trip to “QBA”.

Good drink card - good food, fast and very polite service. Back in Berlin - and again at QBA, the food and drinks are really good here.

Great Cuban restaurant with an ambience that takes you back to vacation.

The only bar open in a large district of Berlin after 1 hour, we had come without any particular interest in Cuban music. We got confused by the boss over a lighter issue but otherwise a very pleasant atmosphere, everyone feels accepted.

First of all, PLEASE STOP TO THROW ICE AND ALCOHOL TO THE PEOPLE, after this, it's not a bad place, kind of a tourist side with the tacky vibe from Latin America, of course there are many better latin places than this one, specially to dance l, but the service is good because of the waiters and waitress. When I come, it's because friends want to come, but honestly, I'll never suggest it.

Delicious food, generous portions and best of all, the team's attention, unbeatable! Super recommended!

I was with a friend to spend some time but I was very disappointed when I asked for Mosquito and they gave me an orange juice and I asked for ice as there wasn't enough ice, the barman thought I asked For that it's the worst at the moment, I can't recommend it to anyone.

The first impression when we walked in was positive and, apart from the weather, it felt like a holiday. A young, friendly, nice-looking waitress helped me choose the beer. I chose the mixed appetizer platter, where almost everything was served lukewarm or cold, Contained (probably) 2 fatty chicken wings 🐔 2 fatty ribs that were pleasantly tough 1 sausage 2 dry cooked chicken 🐓 or pork 🐖 Breaded 🍤 shrimps were delicious. Lots of hard tasteless banana 🍌 slices (fried I think). Going to the toilet 🚻 let me see that the condition there was just acceptable. Maybe I was just unlucky, but at least I can warn you about the record Now I have a greasy mouth and drink double vodka at home.

Quite authentic, good cocktails. We found it particularly nice, even though we were there 20 minutes after happy hour had ended and the cheap price was charged. And all without asking from us. Very nice, thank you Unfortunately I have to change the good rating to an extremely bad one. Why? Extremely arrogant bartenders who disrespect new guests. Strangely enough, it was completely empty all around. But the worst thing is the toilets, broken, contaminated, smeared, disgusting! No glasses! How should you go there with a woman? The toilets in both neighboring shops are immaculate. If you charge €6 for a beer and €10 for a cocktail, then there must be a minimum level of hygiene. The toilets are next to the kitchen, I don't want to know what it looks like there!

Great restaurant, delicious food & very nice service. We would love to come back 🤩

Anyone who has ever been to Cuba knows: Cuban beer has to be Cristal in a can. This is also the case in the QBA and together with the rice and beans, perfectly prepared meat and delicious fried banana chips, you immediately get that holiday feeling. The music also contributes to this. The price is completely reasonable for a well-filled plate. I was there for the first time with friends and discovered the QBA as a recommendable restaurant!

Good music, authentic. However, we wouldn't come back to eat

I went to a party there, the DJ was good, the atmosphere was excellent, the place to dance is a little small but that's okay, if you want to dance and enjoy this is the place.

Es un local muy agradable, la gente es amable la música es súper buena me encantó lo puedo recomendar espero regresar muy pronto. la persona que pone la música quiero felicitarlo tiene buen gusto la música es increíble muy moderna me encanta que siga así estuve justo ayer día 23 de marzo con unos amigas y quedamos muy encantado muchas gracias por hacernos sentir felices

Nos cargaron varias cosas a nuestra cuenta, a pesar de no haberlo consumido. les recomiendo que miren bien la factura antes de pagar alli. ;-{<!-- -->

Ambience original, a bit outdated. Not eaten.

The service was quick, despite being very full. The spaces were too limited. Tables everywhere with no space to dance, or talk (too loud music), or even to access the bathroom without having to squeeze. The vibe is very particular, it is a unique little piece in Berlin, which stands out for its differentness, its Latin feel. There are interesting drink options, mainly with Rum (logically). The bathrooms left a lot to be desired, there was no paper or water to flush the toilets. Very dirty. The staff attentive to offer their services, that stands out, especially on a chaotic night.

Live music and good place to start the party

Thank you for good service...This is a very nice bar for after work:)))

a nice place that strongly emphasizes the cuisine and hospitality and the appearance and the customers are mostly locals but there are various guests. that place strongly emphasizes the culture of that people and that is nice to see when you come to a restaurant that is not located in its home area. The hospitality industry is very patient, which is nice to see. The space is quiet and very clean, as is the air inside the room, which is fresh, who likes it. it looks old fashioned but actually culturally classy. if you come from another culture, don't expect a first-rate restaurant, but a nice experience and you'll feel the culture of the people of this world, and the pleasantness of the place. the food is delicious, for those who are not familiar with the food menu, there is nothing strange, don't be afraid, everything is in order. the owner comes from my country Bosnia and I think it is very nice of him to maintain such a beautiful corner of a culture of a people. greetings for Amir and all recommendations.

A large selection of delicious and inexpensive cocktails. Authentic food and great ambience.

Very tasty food 😋 and the service was great. I will be back

Place is lit I'm from South American This place passes

C'était l'un de mes restaurants préféré à Berlin, car il est chaleureux, festif, les plats sont excellent. Mais le 27 février c'était tout une autre chose. Je suis tellement déçu par le service particulièrement et le plat. J'avais téléphone pour réserve, la serveuse n'en avais rien à fairer au téléphone; de plus lorsque je suis arrivée au restaurant elle s'est moqué de moi. Etant jeune adulte, la serveuse voulait à tout prix vérifier ma cartes d'identité alors que je ne commandais même pas d'alcool. Durant tout le repas la serveuse ne s'occupait pas de nous alors que l'établissement était presque vide ( 2 autres tables occupé). Puisque les plats sont copieux, nous avions décider d'en partager un. Mais le plat était très très très loin d'être copieux; il y'avais deux bouts de viandes qui se battaient en duel et nous avions que 3 crèpes pour 2 ( alors que lors de mes précédentes visites il y'en avait bien plus). De plus lorsque j'ai demande des crêpes supplémentaires, elle m'a répondu sèchement que c'était payant. Nous avons eu seulement 2 crêpes supplémentaires pour un prix douteux. Le restant du repas, la serveuse faisait des allés retours pour nous demander de façon malvenu si nous avions fini. Elle a débarrasse alors que j'étais la seule à avoir fini mon assiette. De plus j'aimerai ajouté que les toilettes sont très sales, qu'il y'a pas de savon. Au moment de payé et de rendre la monnaie, la serveuse nous a demande très méchamment un pourboire que nous lui avons refusé. Suite à cela elle ne nous a même pas accompagné à la porte, ni saluer, ni remercier de notre visite et n'a pas répondu lorsque nous disions au revoir. En somme je suis déçu par le service qui était déplorable et très très différent de lorsque j'y étais avec mes parents, comme quoi les jeunes adultes ne sont pas les bienvenu alors que nous étions respectueux, nous parlions allemand et nous avions de l'argent pour payé. Je ne comprend donc pas cette attitude. Tout simplement de l'arnaque et du profit car nous étions jeunes, c'est honteux. Je ne recommande que aux " vrai adultes". Je n'y remettrai pas un pied!

Excellent service, very good cocktails, extensive menu, authentic feeling. Clear recommendation!

Probably the best cocktail bar in Mitte, super friendly staff and happy atmosphere. Although the place is full of photos of Fidel Castro and there is a beautiful mural of Che Guevara at the entrance, it's best not to speak well of Cuba. There are some nostalgic for Batista and Santo Trafficante who may be offended

High prices and average mojito!

Walking down the town of Mitte and found this cuban restaurant. Food and drinks were exceptional. Had the ropa vieja and tostones. Happy hour had me drinking a couple of mojitos. Good music and latino atmosphere in Berlin.

A good place when you wanna drink with a good vibes of Cuban 🇨🇺

Great Cuban bar. Great flair. Great people. Often with live music. The food tastes fantastic and the drinks are great. A clear recommendation for anyone who has or needs a good mood. Gladly again ;)

Pure joy of life in the middle of Berlin Mitte. Very pleasant place

Great service, delicious cocktails and reasonably priced for a bar in Berlin. The service is super friendly and when we had to leave because of the opening times there was a round Mexican meal on the house.

Excellent care, highly recommended

The drinks are great, the employees are attentive, and Mr. Lazaro Kastro is really competent. We spent our last day there and I will go again on my first visit 🥰🙈

Very quick and efficient Service. Prices are good, the Food & Drinks okay - Spices were missing!

Live Band hat starke Musik gespielt

Entspannt coole Atmosphäre. Gute Cocktails.

Ich gehe sehr gerne in die QBA Bar.Hatten viele tolle Abende bei euch verbracht vielen lieben Dank.

Ein fester Anlaufpunkt bei unseren Berlin Besuchen

Tolle Location, sehr gute Stimmung .Drinks, Snacks und landestypische Ausstattung und Deko. Aufmerksames Personal! Waren schon das 2. Mal dort und kommen beim nächsten Berlintrip bestimmt wieder!

Es un lugar increíble, muy latinoamericano ya que el restaurante bar se constituye de dos partes; *El comedor donde tienen un lugar relativamente grande para deleitarte con comida cubana y tomarte unos cocteles y escuchar la música que viene de el fondo. * En la barra puedes escuchar la música y tomarte unos buenos tragos y darte con un buen baile. 🤗

Sehr gewöhnungsbedürftiges Ambiente, Zustand der Herrentoilette katastrophal .

Nettes Kubanisches Restaurant in der Nähe des Friedrichstadt-Palasts. Große Portionen, angemessene Preise, toller Geschmack. Kleiner Tipp: Die Tische hinten auf der Empore zur Küche: Da sitzt man schön privat und die Musik ist nicht so laut wie im vorderen Bereich des Restaurants.

Un bar cubain typique: musique latina, serveuses très sympa, cocktails et fajitas délicieux! Le tout dans un décor tout à fait dépaysant. N'hésitez pas!

War dort für ein erstes Date! Nette Location, kannte ich bereits! Erdbeermargarita schmeckte wie ein Slushie und hatte vermutlich ebenso wenig Alkohol! Überprüft da nochmals euer Rezept! Das war nix, genauso wie das Date 😉.

Tolles Ambiente, super Cocktails und top Service! - wir hätten gerne Rezession glutenfreies zu Essen gehabt, aber das kann man nicht überall erwarten (:

Tolle Lokation, uriges Lokal mit tollem Team, leckeren Cocktails und toller kubanischer Küche. Gerne wieder. Die gemischte Vorspeisenplatte hammerlecker.

Kuba at its best, so fühlt man sich in der kleinen Bar nahe dem Oranienburger Tor. Wir waren Freitag abends da und es gab tolle Livemusik. Die Leute tanzen, feiern, und trinken. Wir hatten ein paar Tapas und die waren allesamt sehr lecker. Die Drinks sind gut gemixt, und das Ambiente ist perfekt. Beim nächsten Berlin City Trip sind wir wieder bei Euch. Versprochen.

5 Sterne für dieses Lokal. Wir hatten gestern einen richtig coolen Abend mit Livemusik. Voll Authentisch, man fühlt sich wie nach Havanna versetzt. Bei unserem nächsten Berlin Trip werden wir Euch sicher wieder besuchen!

Cocktails are good, we ordered some nachos with melted cheese, a bit heavy. Atmosphere is freaking great though, chilled, nice music.

Es ist immer wieder schön dort. Tolle Atmosphäre, gute Drinks und klasse Musik! Viele Kubaner. Die verstehen noch, zu feiern! Das Essen dort ist allerdings keine Offenbarung.

Eine der besten Bars in ganz Berlin! Das QBA überzeugt mit seiner authentischen Art, es gibt Freitags Live-Musik, die super lieben Bedienungen und ein Großteil der Kundschaft sprechen Spanisch und die Einrichtung entspricht dem kubanischen Stil. Die Cocktails & Longdrinks sind auch mega und preislich absolut in Ordnung. Mein Highlight sind die Empanadas de Pollo und der Cuba Libre. Ich bin bereits regelmäßig hier gewesen und werde es auch in Zukunft wieder tun! Ein wirklich gelungenes Restaurant, was einen Abends zum entspannen einlädt!

Nice live musik on fridays :) and good cocktails!

Sehr cooles Ambiente mit sehr nettem Personal

Lugar agradable para escuchar música latina y bailar un poco. Lo que recomendaría es que controlaran la entrada porque a veces entra gente muy borracha y esto termina en problemas. Por ejemplo ayer un tipo le pegó al otro y lo noqueó con un puño. También dos tipos borrachos andando sin camisa por el lugar. Deberían controlar más eso.

Ein ausgezeichneter Service und gutes Essen! Eine gemütliche Atmosphäre. Wir werden gerne wiederkommen.

Food is fair. But it’s not pricy.

Excellent place for dancing and having a good time with nice latin music. Really great mojitos and outstanding treat from Lazaro on the bar!!

Nos encantó demasiado el sitio, el team de QBA nos atendió de maravilla y en especial a Lázaro por hacer unos mojitos espectaculares. Recomiendo este sitio 100%. Gracias QBA.

Lange Zeit nicht da gewesen aber ich muss sagen ein Besuch wert

Lo mejor de mi Tiera cubana, lo puedes encontrar en este Local. Su comida y sobre su Gente. Regalste un Momento. No es un comercial lo que aqui escribo, sino mi Testimonio

Mega coole kubanische Bar mit guter Küche und kubanischer live Musik. Fax hält keine Hüfte still. Jeder will tanzen und sich in die Reggae Welt verlieren.

Freundliche Menschen und tolle Stimmung. Top Cocktails

Tender meat and big portions, nothing to complain about😋

He asistido al sitio mayormente por invitaciones de amistades, pero en realidad en ocasiones no he visto la mejor atención.

Seit einigen Jahren mal wieder hier gewesen.... Immer noch speziell, besonders und gut.

Ambiente: ich finde noch immer, dass das Qba den kubanischen Flair gut wieder gibt. Die Einrichtung wirkt wie quer zusammengestellt. Die Stimmung ist fröhlich. So, als wäre man in Havana. Essen: gutes Essen, toll abgeschmeckt. Manche Gerichte erinnern zwar an einen Mexikaner. Aber sie schmecken besser. Toll sind natürlich auch die Cocktails. Personal: super nett und freundlich. Preise: für Qualität und Menge top! Fazit: super geeignet für große Gruppen aber auch für ein romantisches Date. Einfach wie auf Cuba fühlen!

Top, wenn man in Deutschland essen möchte, was in Kuba als Traditionale Gerichten bezeichnet wird, sollte hier vorbei kommen.

Strano trovarsi a mangiare cubano a Berlino, ma resterete basiti da questo posto. Un trio di musicisti con tanto di tromba animano la serata, il volume è alto ma va bene così. I nachos sono ricchi di formaggio fuso e la sour cream è ottima, le porzioni del piatto principale sono generose e anche la qualità non manca. Il conto un po' caro è dato dalla somma degli svariati Mojito ordinati, ma anche quelli hanno meritato.
