Hey Nanne, do you see that the list includes the Berliner Republic on the Spree bank, but not the Ständige Vertretung right next door.  Though i'm not certain if Helen considers kölsch bier.

btw for Berlin tourists, the Ständige Vertretung is named after the de facto embassy for W. Germany during the time when it was not diplomatically recognized by the east.  (A place for "unofficial" meeting was still necessary.)  it's a veritable museum from those days, and some of the photos are quite humorous.
