Beers were ok but one friend had a 'Skinny **** ' basically vodka, lime and soda water. He put still water in it!! Although the barman changed the drink to soda water, €9!!!!?? It 's a shot of vodka ffs! I know this is thought of as a 'hipster ' cocktail and the hipsters of Shoreditch might be happy paying through the nose for but vodka and water do not a cocktail make! My other friend had an 'Aperol Spritz '. We witnessed the Spritz wrongly made: A small wine glass was used with too much ice for the glass size (it should 've been a bigger red wine glass), then filled mostly with Aperol. A splash of Prosecco and topped with soda water... €8!! Apart from the bartender not displaying any signs of experience, the other guy (who takes your order and you pay), had presumably been on the lash the night before and gone straight to work on the till. He was quite obviously shot away! After all that, the place is a lovely oasis and they 've done a good job making it that way. It 's a little more than your average Berlin beach bars with good music and as well as plentiful deck chairs, there 's loads of sheltered seating and pergola type seating areas. Haven 't tried the food so can 't comment apart from it looks good pizzas and tortilla dips etc. All in all, a nice place for a few drinks (to make the door charge worthwhile), and personally I would steer clear of the cocktails!

Thankfully I was able to enter through the mall and take the elevator... cuz that's a lot of stairs. The place was packed, but we still had options (sharing a table with another couple, a couple of beach chairs in the sand. The people were chill, the music wasn't overly loud. It's definitely more of a chill scene rather than some clubby atmosphere. Drinks were reasonably priced for a scene-y place and the bartenders were nice.

So it took a wee while for the penny to drop that the Deck 5 from the name explains exactly what it is: Its the fifth floor parking deck of the multi-storey car park attached to the shopping mall. They've brought in sand, seats and tables to convert this temporary home for cars into a summer destination for those who like their drinks with a view.

If you don 't like your job just quit, there are many people in needed of one. We just went there for a cocktail. First impression: employees don 't even say hello. So we ordered an expensive cocktail (7,50 for a Mojito!!! and they don 't even prepare it in the moment. It 's all already mix (WTF? and they just put it in the glass. So here 's the best part of the history. I 'm going to pay with a 20 euro bill and because of the wind it falls down, with a very bad luck that it gets stuck between the table and the wall. Of course this stupid lady that is called bar-attender saw everything. So my boyfriend and I tried to get it, moving a little bit the bottles to try to get it. Her answer in German: Hello?????? What do you think you 're doing, there 's nothing there . All with a very rude face and movements. She didn 't even try to help us. I just said ciao and leave. My boyfriend wanted to pay. If she wasn 't so rude; I would have paid it. When we were waiting at the elevator, a man came to give me back my 20 euros. No apologizes, no words. Unbelievable. It 's the first time in my life I feel insulted by a bar/restaurant. Never never again. Of course I don 't recommend this place to anyone.
