Posted by: "Hartmut" at 8:28 pm on 5.Sep.2006They re-opened on 15 January 2007, with great food & drinks, quiz nights, live sports on tv & live music on Thursdays, Fridays & Saturdays.. go check it out!!!
Posted by: "Teena" at 11:37 pm on 6.Feb.2007Its a bit of a shame, the harp has been taken over by new owners, cleaned up, looks much better. Unfortunately the new owners took out the projector TV's, satellite dish and any atmosphere the place ever had. Forget watching any UK sports games/matches, no rugby etc. Sorry but it is just a quiet German pub now...

Posted by: "Jake Coates" at 8:43 pm on 2.May.2007The pub is as difficult to find as ever but I must say it is ten times betternow than when I used to come a few (6/7!) years ago! Excellent football coverage, very friendly staff (a special mention to Maria, Sarah and the barman I think is called Damo), a shame Liverpool lost but we'd a wonderful night nevertheless us ex-pats will be back again soon good to know we all have a reliable local nearby once again finally
Posted by: "Kevin j Blox" at 8:20 am on 8.Jun.2007Had a gorgeous meal in the Harp served by the lovely Maria:) Damo behind the bar is very quick with the drinks which helps! Large outside area to eat and chill out. Hopefully be going back again

Posted by: "sadlymislead" at 8:24 pm on 17.Feb.2008I think the Irish Harp is getting very unfair reviews. I've been in Berlin for 20 years and I'm Irish. Berlin has changed a lot since I first came here and there are a lot of people who don't seem to want to accept that. It is different to how it used to be but that doesn't make it bad. On the contrary, the food is excellant, the staff are friendly and although it is german owned,it is run by an Irish woman who does the job exceptionally well. I say stop living in the past and give it a chance
Posted by: "Annabella" at 11:58 pm on 19.Mar.2008I have Darren's e-mail address. Shoot me a line and I will give it to you Jake. Rodney_Ramseur@yahoo.com
Posted by: "Rodney" at 10:52 am on 10.Apr.2008i visited the harp and i can say that it is a very nice place, one of the best i have visited. plus the friendly atmosphere is quite amazing, thanks to the lovely Maria and the cute waitresses there. i have had the pleasure to witness a hularious night of karaoke night with the funny Joe and Marky Mark. simply gorgeous. im goin tonight as well for some live irish music. keep it up.
Posted by: "William kobersy" at 5:50 pm on 9.May.2008I have to say that in the 4 years that I have been here the Harp is as good an Irish Pub as you will find. Sports is always on the big screen on request and the Kilkenny is good if but a little over priced. Food is fantastic. Shame when that Sunderland bloke (Darren) departed along with Sue, Alene & Dermot, but has since had a total refit last year and really brings home that Irish warmth. Joe, I must get along for a bit of Hi Ho Silver Lining one night.

Posted by: "big paul" at 7:09 pm on 22.Jul.2008i worked in berlin in the mid ninties on the sites and the harp was our local pub as we lived in hektor strasse a 10 minute walk away had some great nights and days in the harp and hope to return some time soon ps wonder if a special girl still drinks there
Posted by: "MARK" at 8:06 pm on 22.Sep.2009hi everyone have a question on all the ex irish pub staff that i have seen here would you make contact with me we are trying to set bup a get together next year if ye are up for it anyone you know pass it on would be great to see all again.
Posted by: "irishinberlin" at 8:37 pm on 12.Oct.2009I think also that the Harp got some rough reviews here - they're a big pub in Berlin's unpopular West side, and I think they basically do their best to please everyone. Recently they scrapped the karaoke in favour of a cheesy but well-intentioned Irish folk-music night with some dancers. As for sports, they have plenty of TVs if that's what keeps you happy. Lots of foreign sports - soccer, rugby, et al. There's an Irish pub in Xberg that has or had Irish football and hurling on the TV there, so that might be worth checking out. In West Berlin, we don't have a really good Irish pub with the possibility of playing Irish music gigs there. There's only the Molly Malone, the Harp, and some small one also near the Kudamm where the owner (who sounds British) actually dislikes Irish music.
