Sony Center am Potsdamer Platz in Berlin

Place with bars and restaurants protected by a glass dome in case it rains

The more renovations take place, the more impersonal the place becomes. How a revival can take place here is a mystery to me. The roof will not be enough as the only eye-catcher. First the arcades are messed up, now the Sony Center follows. The entire Potsdamer Platz has lost its former appeal.

Very interesting and inspiring. The coupon is fascinating. Inside there are benches for relaxation and a cafe. Located next to the metro and the square.

It has lost some of the shine of the Sony Center but the roof construction is still worth seeing. When the construction work is finished it will be even more beautiful

Could have been much better ...

Despite the renovations, you can stay there.

Parking garage cheap and easily accessible. Directly at Potsdamer Platz train station. Highly recommended.

As a Berliner, I never feel comfortable there and avoid this area. For me it's at best a point of failure. Anonymous, concrete in an ugly shape. Has nothing to do with Berlin, could be anywhere.

Visited the film museum, it was very interesting and informative. It's a shame that the doors are now closing. But the visit here was worth it!

The Sony Center is always worth a visit. However, the whole thing is currently being disrupted by a construction site. The food and service in the brewery are very good. Incredible and worth seeing what the waiters serve on huge tablets.

What more could you want, it's just cool there

What a change. Wait and see what happens when everything is finished. In any case, the food court is an enrichment.

Very nice atmosphere. Unfortunately, there is currently a massive renovation going on.

It's not what it used to be. The center has lost its former glory. I hope he returns in some way.

A break in the rain after many runs was a relief

Too bad a huge construction site inside, how long ????. I still know it in great lighting and light decorations.

Nice place to stay with good restaurants (Lindenbräu, Monte Mente etc.)

I was there in the evening and there was a little light show.

Even after the renovation, it's not for everyone. But suitable for a stroll through. The large Manifesto restaurant is a matter of taste. Too touristy atmosphere and food.

Iconic place. More exciting inside than outside. 😀

Spectacular area to have a drink at night.

Still being built. Still few restaurants and shops.

There was just construction work...

It's a shame that it isn't used to its full potential. A bit desolate place

The concept probably didn't work. I've been here several times on trips to Berlin, but now the vacancy and construction work are clearly clouding the impression. The huge bike station was also scary, with not a single bike in it. I know from locals that people only come here to change trains. The city planning has somehow failed: busy is different.

Lots of construction work at the moment

Impressive architecture few shops

Constantly under construction, completely confusing, toilets supposedly available, even after a long search we never found them.

Quite interesting plase. With good local food.

The center is in a deplorable condition. It's no longer called "Sony", most of the shops are gone, the cinema has been gutted for years, and the cinema library closes at the end of October. Then all the attractions are gone except for the one shop and a few restaurants. The fountain in the rental is gone, there are now a few fountains built into the pavement. Direct access from the train station no longer exists. There's nothing left to see. Too bad. 30 years after the dazzling opening, all that remains is a miserable imitation on both sides of Potsdamer Straße. And in between the former “Boulevard of the Stars”, without words.

Unfortunately, it's a total construction site

Impressive roof design. Great color changes in the dark.

I miss the point, architects love using it?

Currently there is construction work on an interior building, so not great.

Still an impressive building, especially the roof structure. But there's not really much going on inside at the moment.

Nice to look at but showing its age

Construction site not good. Desolate. But the film museum is great. Staff great 5 stars.

Among other things, you can park cheaply here :)

Unfortunately, a large, loud, construction site

The whole thing used to be called the Sony Center and was worth a trip, but now it's just a construction site. The cinema where there used to be all the previews is also being renovated.

Interesting place. Roof over buildings. I don't know where the teddy bear is, I haven't found it. I was there at the restaurant. And the food was quite good, I recommend it. The downside was the construction noise, but that wasn't their fault.

Will the elevator to the underground car park be repaired at some point?

A very interesting architectural building.

A large construction site. Many, many restaurants and shops are closed. What was once an impressively lively place still impresses with its roof construction. There's hardly anything going on here anymore, just a few tourist bars. It's a shame about the beautiful location.

There is not bad but only a building

There's a lot of construction going on at the moment, which spoils the impression... You should risk looking from above.

Beautiful work, it lights up in the evening.

An amazing place, I returned after six years and the quality of the service and food was exactly the same; all great. They served sausages with fries for kids what made my lunch even more enjoyable

Ein erlebnisreicher Abend im Restaurant Pots im Ritz Charlton , mit einem hervorragenden Service und einer famosen Küchencrew!

We stayed at the attached Ritz Carlton so came here for dinner and two breakfasts and service was horrible. First the dinner. We sat outside and as the sun set it blinded all of us. One side of the table had the sun directly in their eyes and the other side of the table had the sun reflecting on a glass wall blinding them. We asked that they adjust the umbrellas but they said they could not (they don’t turn). That in itself would have ruined the meal. In addition we got a hostile waitress (plump , young, dark haired) who made it seem like she was very annoyed to have to work. She barely showed up to the table and did her best not to serve. The food was expensive, not at all memorable and in very small portions. We came for two unpleasant breakfasts. The last morning we came for breakfast we got the exact same hostile waitress again. This time she made sure almost none of the orders arrived, that my son got his omelet after we were all done, that everything was incorrect and that we were miserable. The restaurant needs to fire it’s staff and hire friendly English speaking staff that understands that they are in a service industry. The food at breakfast was bad. Eggs with no taste, undercooked bacon, lousy gluten free bread, etc. They need to do better.

In the modern part of Berlin, where the dividing wall between East and West once passed, 19th century architects created a whole surprising district with a sort of super gallery in the shape of a volcano. There are restaurants and art galleries there.

Interesting Lego exhibition in the center

Nice quiet place in hectic Berlin.

One star deducted due to renovation.

Large construction site inside, not nice at the moment.

Great food, good service, great beer.

The steel and canvas dome is very evocative at night with the changing lights

Not so great at the moment. What was wrong with the well?

This was a truly fantastic experience, the food is amazing, the staff is super nice and fun, the wine pairings were perfectly selected, and sitting next to the kitchen to watch the food being prepared was part of the experience. My girlfriend and I had the perfect date night, and can only recommend.

Wir waren im Hotel und haben mehrmals vor Ort gegessen. Das Frühstücks-Buffet war der Wahnsinn!! Auch die saisonalen Spargelgerichte zu Mittag waren Super!

An impressive and spectacular building complex with office buildings, restaurants and shops. The central part is currently under renovation and expansion.

I don't know what could be interesting here.

The center is currently under construction, the entire interior is being redesigned and repaved.

Not worth a visit. Has totally changed. But not to your advantage.!!

Unfortunately there is a big construction site inside

Roof structure looks impressive. Otherwise, unfortunately, a huge construction site.

A structural masterpiece. It's always worth a visit

Das war mal wieder ein Abend wie er sein muss. Perfekter Service und eine hervorragende Küche. Traditionelle Gerichte neu und meisterlich interpretiert. Großes Kino! Preis Leistung passt hier wirklich. Gerne wieder!

Good food! Unfortunately, many streets have been broken up for maintenance. That may take a while in Berlin.

Good but lots of construction sites.

Under construction during our visit... carried out the visit at night with a small drink on one of the terraces and seeing the roof change colors

The former Sony Center at Potsdamer Platz. Has lost some of its charm, but was currently more of a construction site, let's see what happens with it.

Very nice, modern architecture in itself, but currently also a construction site

A single construction site... What a shame. Only the 'Lindenbräu' there is still worth it!!

This square is really special, it's a shame that there was construction going on when we visited it. However, I recommend it, especially to see the cover that changes color at night.

In April 2024 the whole center was a huge construction site... Still impressive.

Great building, you can enter from the street for free

Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Abend im POTS. Das Essen ist großartig, der Service zuvorkommend und die Atmosphäre elegant, aber entspannt. Die Karte war relativ neu und ist eine moderne Interpretation von deutschen Klassikern. Ich hatte anfangs mit dem 4-Gänge Menü geliebäugelt, aber wir haben uns dann doch entschieden, dass wir viele Gerichte gemeinsam ausprobieren wollen. Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Abend und haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt, der Vibe im Pots ist entspannt, es war eine gute Stimmung im Restaurant und die Mitarbeiter hatten sichtlich Spaß (wir haben so viel mit dem Sommelier gelacht) -- ganz im Gegenteil zu vielen anderen hippen Lokalen in denen man einen 2 Stunden Slot hat. Wir kommen definitiv wieder - die Stimmung und das tolle Ambiente haben es uns angetan!

I was at the Film Museum, not at the Sy Restaurant.

Wir hatten die Freude, das Restaurant POTS zu besuchen und es war ein Abend, den wir nicht so schnell vergessen werden. Das Essen war absolut köstlich. Jeder Gang war ein kulinarisches Erlebnis für sich. Von den Vorspeisen bis zu den Desserts wurden unsere Geschmackssinne verwöhnt. Die Präsentation der Gerichte war amazing und der Geschmack einfach sensationell. Wir probierten verschiedene Gerichte und waren von jedem einzelnen begeistert. Der Service war ebenso bemerkenswert. Das gesamte Team war äußerst zuvorkommend, aufmerksam und hatte immer ein Lächeln auf den Lippen. Besonders Lina und Max haben unseren Abend mit ihrer herzlichen Art noch schöner gemacht Insgesamt war unser Besuch im Restaurant POTS eine perfekte 10 von 10. Wir genossen die Atmosphäre und das Essen. Wenn du auf der Suche nach einem großartigen Ort für ein Essen mit Freunden bist, dann ist das Restaurant POTS definitiv die richtige Wahl!

Interesting architecture, but construction work is underway at the moment. It can only get better.

Great new take on classics. It’s been a while since we last enjoyed the beautiful venue with its open concept kitchen. We enjoyed our night out with friends right in the heart of Berlin at Potsdamer Platz a lot. Definitely the Flammkuchen or Königsberger Klopse. The restaurant within the Ritz Carlton is an amazing place to go to. And afterwards you can always hit the Curtain Bar for drinks. If you don’t, make use of the free parking in the hotel garage that is provided for restaurant guests.

Construction site at the moment

Thank you Hermes website hiding

I wish there was more seating for foot-sick overweight visitors.

Absolutely amazing! I had the best time! The food, service and ambience were excellent, and the wine pairing was just on point. can't wait to be back :)

Everything is currently under renovation...

A striking square, formerly the Sony Center. Let's see what they do with the renovation...

Unfortunately there is still construction work at the center.

The building complex is impressive. However, all shops and restaurants in the Sony Center are closed. Spooky atmosphere. Unfortunately it's not worth going there.

I've eaten here a few times. Solid spot for business lunches. Had a sandwich platter that was very generous. Convenient location within the Ritz. Recommended.

Beautiful place, 1 station away from HBF and worth the trip, beautiful architecture and full of good shops.

Terrible construction site and the once beautiful area is pretty neglected.

Still a scary wasteland. Where cinemas and restaurants once created a lively atmosphere, there is now a permanent construction site and a lunar landscape. One (!) only open beer bar offers refuge at far overpriced prices. You can save yourself!

Almost completely empty and decrepid

We visited the Sony Center on February 3rd, 2024, it is a single construction site. Only 1 restaurant is still there and is open. In my opinion it will only be worth it again once the construction work is finished.

Construction site included. Bad signage.

I was impressed by the old (Kaisersaal) and the new architecture.

Huge construction site, everything closed but looks nice

It was very nice! Great atmosphere, although quite loud during the day. It's relatively clean and there were a few seats! Without a construction site, it's definitely a real highlight!
