We were seeking a fun bar to grab a beer in Berlin and this spot was conveniently situated off of a main street and was busy! They don't have a many of drink selections but we were able to order a Pilsner and that's exactly what we wanted. The bar was busy and loud- exactly as you'd picture a bar in Germany. The staff were kind though it took a while for someone to acknowledge us and find a table. Several customers were ordering food, so I imagine they have a great menu of dinner options too! read more

Alt Berliner Biersalon - Pilsner - German Near Me - Berlin, BE

Loved this spot in the Ku Damm part of Berlin while here to run the marathon. It has such a Euro vibe with all the tables and chairs on the large sidewalk facing the street to watch the world walk by. Ash trays on each. Street musicians would stroll by and perform for a few minutes. Very nice German beer selection served nice and cold. Delicious soups and nice vegan options for meals which we enjoyed. Lively and relaxed. Good prices. Good service. As we had terrific weather we found ourselves here a few times and could have sat here for hours on end. Would definitely go back and we will. read more

A good casual spot for Berliner cuisine near to zoo. Came here with a colleague as we wanted to find something casual that offered local food. We ordered a couple beers and watched some German football commentary to start. I then ordered the Schweineschnitzel (pork schnitzel) and my colleague ordered the Backhahnchen. Both dishes were good. The schnitzel wasn't the best I've had in Germany, but it was good. Dessert wise, there is an impressive display full of cakes to choose from... Service was really good! Our waitress was friendly and attentive! read more

This is a great place to hang out, people watch, and drink good beers! It was 86 degrees yesterday so we enjoyed the shade and the slight breeze while we drank a beer. We were hungry so we ordered entrees. The menu is very limited but has the German standards of a pigs knuckle, schnitzel, and spätzle. There are also wings, a vegan burger, 3 types of salads, and "baked" chicken. I had the spätzle which was served on a cast iron plate so it stayed hot. It was terrifically cheesy and had finely chopped raw red onion mixed in with toasted onions on top. It was delicious. It was served with a single leaf of lettuce, one wedge of unripe tomato, and 2 slices of cucumber. My partner ordered the "baked" chicken with boiled "baby" potatoes, and mushroom gravy. The chicken was from a food service company, not house made, and was deep fried, not baked. It was dryer than dust but edible with the gravy. The gravy was not house made; not much flavor and canned mushrooms. The "baby" potatoes were the same size and perfect looking. They looked like "baby" carrots which are chopped and tumbled to be more marketable. They tasted potato-ey, but no butter or parsley. The garnish was the lettuce leaf, tomato wedge, and cuke. For an iconic Berlin restaurant, I really expected better. The wait staff was lovely. I would definitely go back for beer and people watching. read more

We did not have a good experience at Alt-Berliner Biersalon. Although the service was good, the food was extremely disappointing. We had a group of 16 and a fixed menu consisting of a first course of "fruity curry cream soup," a second of "fried sausage in onion sauce with mashed potatoes," and dessert of "berry fruit jelly with vanilla sauce." For my vegetarian entree, I was served a baked potato and side salad. The soup was not good; it had a very strong, pungent taste too it, like the main ingredient was sugar. A couple of people were actually sick to their stomachs upon tasting it. I was told that the sausage and the sauce were very bland, and the potatoes, which I tried, did not taste like potatoes. It had a very odd flavor, like they used too much of a certain ingredient. My entree was awful. The baked potato was cold, and it was drowned in this strange creamy white sauce; I had to shovel off at least a quarter-cup of this stuff until I found my bland potato. My salad was old lettuce piled high, with one a big scoop of dressing in the middle. There was so much lettuce that I had to transfer some to my bread plate. I was told the dessert of fruit jelly and vanilla was fine, but the last time I checked, jelly is NOT vegetarian. I asked if there was gelatin in the jelly, and they said they didn't know. Chances are, it does. Shame on them for not checking/knowing their ingredients. I would've been happy with fresh fruit! Overall, this place seemed like more of a mediocre tourist trap; avoid it if you can. read more

I came here for a late lunch and early dinner and had a very good experience. This is a lively place with a lot of seating and many screens throughout. It's a good place to get a drink and watch sports on the TV and also get a meal. I had a Weißbier and the Berliner Eisbein. I have never had Eisbein (pork knuckle) before so can't compare the dish at this restaurant to anything, but this Eisbein was very tender and moist with a lot of meat on the bone. It was also very fatty. It came with potatoes and Sauerkraut. All in all, it was a hearty, satisfying meal. I liked the seating arrangement. There were bar stools you could sit at and also high tables right across in the bar area. In addition, there was a restaurant section with regular tables. I sat at one of the high tables in the bar area. It was comfortable. This place is open 24 hours. It was pretty lively for a Sunday mid afternoon. The price for my beer and Eisbein came to just about 20 EUR. I recommend trying this place, especially for travelers. read more

Was recommended this restaurant by a local tour guide for the live music. Although there was no live music on a Tuesday night when I went for dinner, it had a great pub like atmosphere and it would seem only appropriate to be at a place with the word bier in the name while in Germany. I enjoyed it! Very friendly waitstaff and huge huge meal portions. I had the Kasseler which is smoked pork (think, ham) with sauerkraut and potatoes. It was a tad on the salty side but delicious. The potatoes were perfectly cooked and nice and buttery. Highly recommend if you are in the area and looking for German cuisine as a tourist - most of the other restaurants on the strip were Italian or American. read more

Great atmosphere! Incredible breakfasts! Great place to sit and just watch the world go by while enjoying a bite and a beer! Inside the atmosphere is classy and old-fashioned! Good coffee, good beer, great baked goods! I really love this place, even though it's probably a bit touristy, but seems like a bit of a Berliner icon. read more

I think I can confidently say that this was my favorite meal while we were in Berlin! My mom, dad, aunt and I swung by on recommendation for breakfast from my good friend Google. Thank goodness we did!! The portions were HUGE, the price was very right, and the fresh-squeezed Orange Juice was absolutely incredible. Our table was full of delicious-looking and tasting food. You can't make a wrong choice for breakfast here, because they are all so good. The service was also great, the perfect amount of check-ins! We were surprised to see it to empty on a Thursday morning, but passed by later around dinnertime and it was completely full. Definitely add to your list for breakfast in Berlin! Tons of shopping around the area as well so there's plenty to do. Enjoy! read more

I liked it. Then again, I was just in the mood for currywurst. It tasted about as good as currywurst gets, paired with some fries. This is probably not the cheapest place to get this item, but the pub has style and lots of outdoor seating. Plus the location is pretty good. During a soccer (football) match the place filled up.

So delicious . Service was great and prompt. Our server was very polite and returned several times to check in on us. The setting is very European where all the seats are facing street making it pleasant to people watch . The five in our party were all deliciously impressed with the taste of our meals. I ordered the beef soup - most definitely one of the best tasting. Another friend ordered the tomato soup - it was hot and filled with great spices. Our vegetarianism our group ordered a steamed veggie plate with hollandaise sauce with crispy onion topping- so delicious! The 4th friend ordered eggs and bacon - seasoned to perfection. Our 5th friend ordered the tuna salad - the flavor was amazing and all ingredients very fresh. The portions are very generous, most definitely shareable. We were all so satisfied. A definite spot to enjoy a delicious meal with great atmosphere!! read more

Good currywurst with French fries and a cold Berliner Kindl. What more do you want? Sit outside and watch the Volk go by!

Maybe it was the marathon, maybe it was the rain, maybe it was the people.. For whatever reason, the "servants" here had a bad day and consequently: so did we. I can't really say anything about the food nor the drinks, because we decided to leave based on our perception of the service alone: Dreadful read more

The food was good and they offer breakfast till noon. One of my friends had an omelette, the other had sunny side up eggs, and I had penne with tomato sauce. The portions are large, the food was decent, but over all nothing special. No real complaints, Good place to grab a relatively decent meal with not much waiting. One thing that was interesting was that I went there at noon and there was only one waitress outside. Food came fast for the time but it was surprisingly empty outside. read more

This place is in a great location. If you are thirsty and looking for cold drinks! U can visit anytime but people are extremely rude when they serve you! Even if you give tip, they are not smiling and not so talkative in any way. If u don't care about it then there is no problem. read more

Great old place right on the Ku-Dam. Went there 3 nights in a row. Each time had a lovely experience. The wait staff was very nice and energetic. Almost all of them spoke English. The goulash was excellent. They put a small amount of creme fresh in the middle which took a bit of the spice away, very nice. The schnitzel was good. There was karaoke on Thursday and they have a wide selection of American songs to choose from. There was an excellent band on New Years Eve. They were German but exclusively played American hits. The Germans loved them and rightly so they were excellent musicians. The prices were reasonable. And they speak alcohol very well. read more

Food is OK. Drinks are a bit pricey. Place is touristy, but still offers an authentic atmosphere.

Good beer on tap but terrible food. Ranks up there with very bad bar food. Terrible service and attitude as well. Not to mention a tourist trap vibe. Stay clear. One star is a stretch. read more
