    To be honest, we walked over here because LB are my wife's initials but had a great time. Different types of beers, with a large bar space, inside and out. We got a few drinks and just kind of hung around with locals. It's a cool space under the subway/street so you really feel like you're in Berlin. Very easy to get to either walking or by subway.

    Think of this as a pretty sweet brewery with great food, so much so you can't tell if they are kitchen- or brewery-first! I recommend the flight lineup, be stupid not to order these at a brewery in my opinion. Don't be fooled by the menu prices because they are family sized. Goulash came in a pot with a ladle equipped and everything. Sausage, sausage, sausage. Yum.

    The beer is excellent and available in the right variety, without falling into the annoying IPA-centric trend-trap. Evenings are usually quite full, and the waiters seem to be at the maximum of their capacity at all times, so don't mind waiting for anyone to seat you, or providing swift service - they're quite busy with the mass of customers. I had the 'Original' beer, which was excellent, along with the salmon Flammkuchen, which was unfortunately a bit cold (understandable for the salmon, not the rest of the Flammkuchen). My advice: Come here in the late afternoon for a beer, or sit at the bar in the evening for a drink, but there are other typical German restaurant at the Hackescher Markt that offer better food.

    They have many types of beers on tap. The chalkboard menu was clear and in readable font/style which many bars should do more of, really. More of a craft beers place than a standard beer hall joint. However, my small beer was pretty big. Located near the rail lines of Hackescher Markt (https://www.yelp.com/biz/s-bhf-hackescher-markt-berlin-2). Solid place to stop in to rest or wait before dinner (We had dinner plans elsewhere so cannot review how the food was). Even though there is a bar area, it is table service only even if you're ordering just a beer/drink.

    Good for groups if you can get a table and youre luckier with service. This place isway from the nearby market, but under the train tracks so it can get a bit noisy. Service was terrible. We started out as a group of 5 friends around 5pm. Half of the restaurant patio was closed until 6pm and many of the tables in the open section had signs saying reserved. We sat at a small table and asked if we could make a reservation for 6pm on the closed side because we had other friends joining. I was told that would be fine so we sat at a smaller table, expecting to move at 6pm. After we settled, 2 couples came and sat at smaller tables and were served before us by our server. I tried to get tap water and was told I could not. Same goes for filling up my water bottle. Once we finally got our drinks & food (fries were amazing), we had a nice time only because the weather was good & the beers refreshing. 6pm came around and we were now 8 people and sitting very tightly together. We asked to move to the other side but were told no because the tables seat 4 over there. The waiter said we could not move the tables. I will definitely not come back here.

    Great brewery with great food The ambience was very warm and cosy with candle light. They provide a small interesting selection of their ale and lager to taste. The food was good too. Staff was very welcoming and knowledgeable of the products.

    I had a great experience here last night for dinner. Service was very quick and friendly in a fun German beer hall atmosphere. I ordered a sausage dish that came with sauerkraut and potatoes and it was excellent for 10 euros. Along with my food I tried two of the beers that they brew themselves. The pale ale was ok but the IPA was really good.

    Great food and good drinks. We ordered the Hax'n and Eisbein and loved every bite of it. I dont think I can eat for the next 3 days.

    Nice brewry with quality house beers. We ordered some light summer varieties anf they were both excelent. The garden is leafy and cool too. S trains roared on our heads but it feels fun and authentic.

    Run away from the tourist trap. Enjoy a currywüster - or however it is you spell it - over here. Nice place. Very good, flavor-full beer.

    Lemke's Salad (vegetarian)

    Fun Biergarten atmosphere with simple, delicious, and reasonably priced entrées. As a bonus, their house beers are quite varied, especially for Germany. We had the beer sampler which really shows off their different brewing styles (€8). lf your interested in more than "ein Pils", I recommend it. The spätzle was excellent and the Lemke's salad, delicious. We ate on the terasse. We made reservations so that we had our own table. You can also go without reservations and have the long communal table experience as is typical for a Biergarten.

    Beer sampler. Tasty!
    Anna W.

    We went here because it took Amex, my company issued card. Was pretty standard German food, but the beer sampler was on the decent side but pricey. Nice to have an imperial IPA for a change! We shared the cheese plate as an appetizer, had to ask for more bread and the waiter brought only 3 more pieces for 4 people--not incredibly helpful. I ate the roast pork loin which was okay, salty, but the dumplings as a side were good. Then later the waiter was very short with us as we were trying to separate the bill. Space is good for groups, biergarten is nice but gets loud when the train passes by, every 10 minutes or so.

    A nice micro-brewery at a great location, with very good beer (esp. the Märzen is good!) and good food.

I stopped in with a friend after lunch to warm up with a chai latte - I noticed that many of the cafes in Berlin only offered oat milk as a non-dairy option which is delicious but also a bit heavy for me. Nonetheless, the chai was delicious! My friend also tried the peach beer and loved it. I wish I'd made it back here a second time because the craft brew list by BRLO looked so good and interesting. The vibe here is perfect - a little industrial but with homey touches such as plants and shelves of books. The outside space looked super cute as well, but it was chilly so I didn't get to experience it. For those looking to play games, they have shuffleboard in the basement!

I only had one drink here (a blueberry saison) but likely could've stayed for hours. They had hooks, free wifi, and ample seating. I didn't get to talk to the bartenders but they seemed nice enough as well. Kaschk also serves as a coffee bar...an interesting combo that makes perfect sense! Prices are a bit hefty (my saison was like 9 euro) but also they're imported so it makes sense. I was glad to see Victory in stock. Apparently they just took over all of Europe. I see them EVERYWHERE. Totally didn't expect that. But anyway, yeah, visit this bar if you have the time.

The warm waitstaff and barkeeps made us feel right at home. Regarding delicious beers, I ordered the Dunkel and my husband ordered a Pilsner. My Dunkel was delicious and STRONG.......I will leave this part for the end of the review. My husband enjoyed his pilsner. This is one of those places that is like a Keller type setting since you are a bit underground like in a grotto. You can easily visit with folks at the tables next to you if they seem open to it. We visited with an interesting couple from New Zealand and it just made the evening even more idyllic. We ordered the bavarian veal sausage with fresh pretzel and sweet mustard, the fraconian grilled sausages with homemade sauerkraut, and the black lentil salad with celery. When I say every single thing I ate was perfection......I mean it. It fulfilled my dreams of eating actual German food in Germany! I have already searched AI and Pinterest for a dupe of that salad. It was so refreshing and delicious with a nice vinegary bite to cut the richness of the sausages. The veal sausage was my favorite with the most amazing delicate flavor. Hey there, restaurant/brewhouse with the longest name ever......we will meet again. I think I might have been saying something similar as my husband sweetly guided my weaving self down the sidewalk after that strong Dunkel!

The restaurant is very small and quaint. It is definitely a spot for locals that we were fortunate enough to have been led to. It is the German equivalent of a tapas bar. After some deliberation, we turned the menus back over to our hostess (who I also believe was a co-owner of the restaurant) and simply asked if they would bring out a couple of each item on the sampler menu and a few of the five or six main entrées that we wanted to try. That begin about an hour of culinary experience not to be forgotten. There is no better way to experience German cuisine! Each of the menu items was wonderful and different and it's own unique way. We tried six or seven different types of sausage a variety of pickled vegetables, regional cheeses and other delicacies all served with a variety of great homemade bread. Although absolutely stuffed, we couldn't resist dessert, so we did the same thing, ordered one of each and shared everything. Portion sizes are small, as you would expect from a tapas bar, the the food quality was exceptional! The prices were reasonable and the environment was great.

Even my vegetarian friend liked the meal. I highly suggest you come here with a large group so you can sample a little bit of everything. Here were my favorites (it's a long list): * Buffalo burrata, yellow beetroot, chanterelles, and kale pesto * Salmon trout ceviche * Freshly cut French fries with various dips: very simple dish, but we all loved munching on them * "Candy on bone" pork with pickled vegetables (their signature dish) * Beef brisket with fennel, ponzu, and plum * Yellow peas puree with apple chutney * Roasted cauliflower with smoked potatoes * Flank steak tagliata with chimichurri sauce * Gingerbread crème brûlée, pear, and plum sorbet * Honey parfait and pear These dishes were decently good, but probably would refrain from ordering if the above dishes were available: * Pumpkin salad, dill, and Jerusalem artichoke * Potato-onion tart with lovage cream * Mango sorbet * Shaved milk ice cream Not-a-fan dishes that others might like: * Duck tataki, pak choi, and kumquats: overall flavor was good, but there were mounds of duck pate not listed on the ingredients list and I was not a fan of pate * Mushroom tartar, egg yolk, and cauliflower cream: having both egg yolk and cauliflower cream made the dish too wet Service was top-notch. Our table size increased last minute (completely our fault) and the host scrambled to switch our table with another party's, even though the other party already seated a guest! They nicely asked that guest to switch and she agreed. Our waitress was attentive and made good suggestions without upselling. Despite ordering most of the menu, our food came out reasonably quickly. After dining with slow service in Berlin, this place was a breath of fresh air.
