Nice place along the river. Had the schnitzel and fried potatoes with bacon. Very good schnitzel, crispy outside and tender inside. Cutting it with my fork was a breeze. The fried potatoes with bacon were heavenly tasting. So good. Washed it down with a Rattler Beer. Beer with sprite. Very tasty drink. read more

Ausgezeichnetes typisch deutsches Essen. Wir bestellten Rind- und Lammfleisch mit Bier und obwohl er kein Deutsch sprach, war der Kellner freundlich und herzlich. Sitzen in cooler Atmosphäre am Fluss mit einem alten Plakat, das das Ende des amerikanischen Sektors signalisiert. Fui el 10 de julio y soy de Valencia y creo que Berlin esta apoyando a Espana en la Eurocopa!!! read more

Decent place on a busy waterfront street. Super crowded during Euro 2024 matches. Horrifically understaffed. Our poor server couldn't have been 21 years old and spent the whole night stressed out, swamped and in the weeds. You would think the owner or manager would staff the place up on what was sure to be the busiest week of the summer, but no. My food was good. Unfortunately the french doors next to the dining tables are open and people would take one step outside and smoke, most of the time blowing their smoke directly back into the restaurant. Fucking Euros and their cigarettes. read more

A whole lot of decent. Decent beers, decent food, decent service. You won't be disappointed but I'm not sure it'll become your new favorite place either. Great wall-themed memories everywhere though - that was pretty cool to see. I'd happily come back if I'm in the area or invited but it's not necessarily a place I'd seek out. Basically, it's good enough. read more

I love this spot. Yes, it's a tourist attraction with it being located in walking distance to the Brandenburg Gate and the Holocaust Memorial, but it's also fun for locals and anyone that enjoys a hearty German meal and some good beer. They've got 17 beers on tap, one more delicious than the next. I felt right at home again with my Berliner pint in my hand. French fries are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside served with lots of mayo on the side (yes, us Germans like mayo with our "pommes"). I also had the flatbread pizza topped with curry chicken and pineapple - super yummy. Had it not been so big and hadn't I filled half my body with beer, I would have ordered another flatbread (the meat combo one sounded terrific). My brother and I also split the herring filets in cream sauce with apples and onion over steamed dill potatoes - another winner that did justice to my childhood memories of this German dish. Every evening after 5pm the Berliner Republik has a beer "stock market". Beer prices change with demand and consumption, which could also lead to a "beer market crash". Pay attention to the changing prices on the TVs and make sure you snag your waiter at the right moment to profit from some low brew prices. Fun and entertaining whether you're in a group or looking to make some friends! Drunkenness is guaranteed! read more

Die Berliner Republik - Prost! - Bars Near Me - Berlin, BE

My girlfriend and I were in Berlin for one night, so we needed to make it count, when it came to finding a place to eat and drink German beer. She heard of this place that was described as basically a beer stock market, and it wasn't terribly inaccessible from where were staying, so it seemed like good as place as any to try to make that one place. Although it doesn't reflect to how hard we had to work in order to get there, under normal circumstances, Die Berliner Republik should be easy to get to via local metro train S-bahn or U-bahn whatever; all the trains were screwed during our visit due to some catastrophic accident, so I can't really confirm or deny ease of accessibility. But there's a train stop access like nearly right in front their door, so it probably is. It should come as no surprise that a place known for being a beer stock market is a big tourist draw, and naturally on a Saturday night, the place was almost completely packed when we got there. It's unclear on seating etiquette is upon arrival, as there's no signs saying to wait to be seated nor did we know to take an open table if we saw one. A lady who presumably worked there told us that it was about a 30 minute wait for a table, in English, which in itself is a surprise considering almost nobody spoke any English in Berlin as far as I was concerned, but we ended up taking two open bar seats anyway, and nobody said anything. Now seated, I was able to really soak in the view and atmosphere of the place, and as mentioned it was packed and busy, but in a jovial and lively way. Up on the walls are large screens with basically stock market displays, but of the various beers available on site, and how they were trending and subsequently priced at the moment. It was my understanding that the prices change every 3-5 minutes based on how they're selling, and it's wholly possible to get beer pretty cheap if ordered at the right time. We were fortunate to have witnessed "a crash," where they ring a bell, and all beer is sold at its lowest cost, and it's a mad rush to get orders placed and locked in at that cost. It's an interesting concept that's both functional as well as unique at attracting attention and business. Needless to say, I did quite my share of drinking while I was there. As for the food, being in Germany for a night meant that we'd have to order things like sausages of varying types. I don't remember what mine was called, but it a massive wurst, it came with stewed red cabbage, as well as the most phenomenal mashed potatoes I can remember having in ages. Seriously, the sausage was delicious, the red cabbage went with it way better than I thought they would have, but the potatoes really were the most memorable part of the meal. I don't know what they did with them, but they were probably the best mashed potatoes I've had in a really, really long time. Now I don't want to be too critical about the service, as I'm pretty sure there's a lot that can be chalked up to simply cultural difference and the fact that the place was slammed as I already stated. But service here was slow and inattentive. I told myself numerous times throughout my tour of Europe that "maybe that's how it's done in Europe," but it was still like 15 minutes before anyone acknowledged our presence at the bar. The bartender was a nice and young guy that actually spoke very good English, but I was admittedly growing agitated by the lack of acknowledgment after as long as we had waited. Overall, the experience was positive. The interesting concept of the restaurant makes for fun, the food quality was pretty decent, and I got to sample a good bit of German beers that I'd never heard of. The service is what prevents it from being five stars in my opinion, but overall I think it's a good place, and I'm glad I went here with my one available meal in Berlin. read more

Beer 'stock exchange', now that's something you have to experience! Prices of the beer go up or down depending on demand! Definitely a cool thing to check out if you are in the area! The food was pretty good as well. We got the Italian pizza and the currywurst. Both tasted pretty amazing. We set outside right by the river and just enjoyed people watching and the boats go by. The waitress was really friendly but that place is a little understaffed! She definitely could use some help but definitely did her best to accommodate us. Also what I found interesting is she took our order on an iphone! I really thought she was texted when she was just standing near our table but she was just waiting for us to give her our order. Definitely an interesting place! read more

This is a very nice place where you can taste lovely beer and German food at a good price. I liked everything over there, the place is cozy with a tipical German look. On the wall they have TV showing the realtime cost of beers on the market. The staff is nice and welcoming. They serve traditional German food, and it's tasty, with a good variety of beers. I took the 3 type sausages dish, in this way I was able to taste a good variety of their food, and it was not disappointing. I oredered a 500ml weiss beer too and it was lovely. The bill was under the everage, would love to go back there read more

Die Berliner Republik - Three sausages plate. Good - Bars Near Me - Berlin, BE

Within walking distance from our hotel, Melia Berlin. It is one of many restaurants that has outdoor seating overlooking the Spree river. Service was great, everyone speaks English, and there were a lot of options on the menu. I tried currywurst, which was pretty good, but heavy, especially washed down with all that beer! We also got a side of sauerkraut, which I really enjoyed - nice and tangy (and good for digestion. Yay probiotics!). read more

The restaurant is located right next to the river Spree. And it sort of in the tourist area. It's always full of people. I tried to make an appointment with then for brunch. But it got free table till one and half month later. Well, that's say the restaurant must be great. So I paciently waited. Finally the waiting was finished. My partner and I carry our hungry got to this place. Wow, it was really great place. Much better than I expected. I have been to lots of brunch in berlin so far. This is one of the restaurants, which offered really lots of different choices. The food itself was really tasty as well, as a lunch buffet, that's quite rare. There were salat, meat, fish, bread, cereal, dessert and of crouse, fruit. There are most done with the German kitchen way. It is prefect place for the people who loves or likes to try something local. After 3-4 around with the biggest plate in the restaurant. I was totally full, really happy. The only request I had is, I do have they offed more fruits. It wasn't than much when I was there. The other thing I did really enjoy was the view. We were very lucky, our reservation table was inside the restaurant, but there were serval tables outside were available , so we just asked them, if we could changed it. The stuff here were really friendly, even it was quite full in the place. And the best thing, the weather was really nice. So we were having brunch next to the River Spree, it was not the only our tummies were feeling happy, also our mind. We did enjoy it really much. Inside of the this place also had it own charm. There were lots of photos hanging around the wall, it was quite interested and historical. The whole is like photo studio or sort of photo exhibition feeling but with people drinking and eating. At the end, this place didn't disappointed me. I could see myself will pay a visit again in the future. read more

Our first dinner here in Berlin was a great experience. Our server was super cool and friendly. We got some good German Bier, a wiener schnitzel, and pork knuckles. Admittedly, I didn't like the knuckles, but we loved the ambiance of the place! This is definitely a great place to hang out, drink, and eat with a group of people. read more

This is my first time traveling to Germany. I thought visiting Berlin would be fun, so here I am. I got hungry and looked up what places have good food and decided to eat here. When we got here it wasn't too busy, but people kept coming in. The waiter, Tony, is the only waiter working right now and he's doing a fabulous job. He has at least 13 tables that he is serving all at once, he's answering the phone, he's switching from speaking German to speaking English within seconds which is hard to do when you're focusing on it. He deserves such an applaud for doing all of this AND still having a great attitude. This is the place to go and Tony is the guy to ask for. read more

This was highly recommend by our concierge at the Wyndham, but I found out that this place is mostly for tourists instead of locals. This place is known for selling beers as if they were stock on stock exchange. If one particular beer is popular, then the price of that beer goes up, whereas the less popular beer prices go down. Our waiter was really nice and even gave us free jager shots at the end of our meal. We ordered a side of fries, the sausages, currywurst, and a pretzel. Overall it was good but not super amazing. I liked Tiergartenquelle more than this place, and would recommend more of a local spot to eat and drink versus a touristy one. read more

Sooooooooooo.... After am awesome workout at the gym on Christmas wandered rhe streets of Berlin in search of a culinary introduction to "Yole tide".

They served promptly and with professionalism and courtesy. Definately coming back. read more

Die Berliner Republik - Yummmmy - Bars Near Me - Berlin, BE

This pub was recommended by a staff member at our hotel, and it did not disappoint. It was the evening after the Berlin marathon, so it was packed. Some tables were marked as "reserved," so we opted to sit at the bar. We were able to order food there as well. Service was good for it being SO busy, but the bartender was brusque and not very nice. He was the friendliest when my husband opted to pay in cash versus by card. I wanted a hefeweizen beer, but it wasn't listed as such on the (extensive!) beer menu. When I mentioned this, he retorted, "Of course we have hefeweizen, this is Germany!" in a rather harsh, impatient tone. He pointed it out on the menu, and it wasn't listed as "hefeweizen," so how was I to know this as an American?? Perhaps a more knowing beer connoisseur would know this, but hey, isn't this part of his job, to help customers understand the menu? Ugh! I ordered the schnitzel, which was plentiful and served atop a nice, warm potato mixture. Schnitzel was crisp on the outside and moist inside. Yum! Yes, I did enjoy the hefeweizen too.... read more

We were disrespected before we could even put in a drink order. When we walked up to the outside dining area, we were told by the servers to take a seat wherever we could find an open spot. We found two separate tables so decided to split our party in two, and pay separately. I guess that pissed off our server because she came by to tell us we weren't allowed to do that and walked away without giving us a moment to explain anything to her. It was very clear she didn't feel we deserved the time of day to talk to us and hear us out. The server thought I didn't speak German and was talking shit to the table next to us about the way our party didn't follow their social norms but refused to speak to us. When I called her out she sarcastically apologized in a very disrespectful way. I wouldn't recommend going to this restaurant unless you're a German-speaking person. Otherwise, you might piss the servers off for whatever reason and get disrespected. We just wanted to eat and enjoy the river. read more

Pork knuckle dish lived up to its hype.. Fresh, tasty, and oh so tender!!! Sides were good, but perhaps need more seasoning. The German beer selection is excellent! read more

Die Berliner Republik - Pork knuckle is actually quite huge.. And very tasty! - Bars Near Me - Berlin, BE

Meh. So not impressed. Service slow and not very welcoming. The potato soup was quite yummy-- everything after that was mediocre.

Great warm pretzel as a delicious side dish to some nice cold beer. The Die Berliner sits on a canal that runs through Berlin. Its a nice place to sit and enjoy a beautiful day in Germany. Our meal consisted of a warm pretzel, you notice I've mentioned the pretzel twice, sausage that's juicy and fragrant with spices. To top the meal off we went for the lentil stew filled with sausage and lentils. Great lunch and it all was washed down with some fine beer. read more

This place is so much fun! Big beer selection - you won't care about the "market" - get one first and then while you're surveying the menu, check out the portions that people are getting. We decided to split a main and get a salad, that was too much for us. But, delicious. And the place is fun. At least in winter, almost everyone was conversing in German, and having a pretty good time. If you can time for your visit for sunset, so much the better. Anyway - go for the fun, stay for the large selection of beers and good food. If I lived here, I'd bring every visitor here and try to meet my friends here as often as possible. read more

Taste of traditional German food! Good foods, good beers, good service. Price is reasonable, not too expensive. Price for two is about €35.

Beautiful view, but... Their food is just disgusting. 'Void wiener schnitzel. read more

This place came highly recommended by various people and while I felt it didn't quite live up to the hype, it was still a great experience and well worth my time and money. There is a lot of beer on offer here... lots and lots and lots. It is sold on a stock market system - popularity of the beer changes the prices, like on a stock market. Now, we have a couple of bars that do this here in England but I've never been to them so the concept was pretty new to me and I must admit that I didn't really know what I was doing. Maybe making my first experience of this type of bar in a foreign country and language probably wasn't the best idea! In the end I basically just ordered whatever I felt like at the time, regardless of cost. Hey, I was on holiday after all! When I did this and relaxed I enjoyed myself much more. All of the beers I tried were extremely nice, as you expect from a top bar in Berlin. The food was good too. Nothing outstanding but still very tasty and complimented the beer perfectly. The atmosphere was very fun and jovial, everybody was having a great time. The staff were a little rushed as the place was so busy. This meant that the service was a little slow but they were trying their best to cope. Die Berliner Republik is located in a nice part of the city, right by the river. This makes it a great place to have a walk before or after your meal. Overall I enjoyed this place very much and will definitely return upon further visits to Berlin. read more

Nice place to visit after walking tour. Good prices and delicious german food. Highly recommend to taste flammkuchen.

Typical tourists food in tourist place so needs to be expected. Location is good, service ok, food is ordinary. Cabbage roll was ok the schnitzel I had was like a thin piece of leather... Rubbish really My advice would be eat next door at Brechts and spend €10 more and have a better meal. read more

A very average German restaurant with notoriously European slow service. The stock market concept sounds interesting, but in the end it's kinda a gimmick. It's not really interactive and doesn't compel you to buy one thing over another. While it's in a good location, you'll probably land the touristy crowd. Keep walking. read more

The concept of the bar is interesting, a beer stock market. That said, I'm a student in Berlin and wanted to see what it was like. I had a pretty bad experience w my friend and won't go back. We sat at the bar and our bartender was super rude. At first I asked one bartender what he recommended, he suggested Berliner but I said no because I didn't want the same Pilsner I normally drink. Then comes bartender #2 (the rude one) and pushes the other guy aside. He asks me what I want and again I ask for recommendations. Without getting an approval, he then just throws a beer in front of me. I ask what it is and he says its Berliner, to which I reply, "I just told the other bartender I didn't want a Berliner." He now gets upset and starts bringing other beers and I have to remind him that I'm asking for recommendations, not just for him to bring me whatever he wants. I think the bartender now gets really upset and ends up going on a break so now I don't have a bartender. Finally one comes from around the bar and I just order the same beer my friend is having (only because she had already ordered her usual, otherwise I would have left). This is supposed to be a place to try different beers but you won't get treated well nor have an opinion apparently. I highly suggest another bar, this is basically a tourist trap. Also, based on what I saw, you actually end up paying more for all the beers than if you have that same beer earlier in the day before the stock market concept kicks in. The Irish pub next door is a much better option and they have live music. read more

Talk about a huge letdown. Everyone was very excited to go to this bar because of the stock and price change concept. I was expecting that to be the main part of the bar but it could not have been worse. Two tiny screens show prices that will only stay on for 5 seconds. Also, the prices only change by cents at a time. The absolute worst part of this bar is the staff. There is this one bartender who acts like he runs the place and was the absolute worst. He ripped us off because were American, harassed the girls that were with us, pressured us to hurry our order constantly, and refused to accept my friends money then gave us a "free" beer for the trouble which he then charged us for. One of the other staff apologized to us for his behavior while we left. Only redeeming quality is the music. read more

This restaurant/café/kneipe is sat upon the banks of the river Spree. It's a really excellent place to get a real sense of Berliner culture. It has an incredible selection of beers and after 6pm operates a bizarre system where the price of each beer changes depending on what is selling well. A bit like a beer stock market. The menu offers meals from around 3-15 Euros, which is great value for the hearty, tasty, truly Berlin-y food. I had a potato soup and a local beer and it came to seven Euros. The waitress was really helpful, bringing me an English menu and was generally very efficient and friendly. Wunderbar. read more

We used to recommend Die Berliner Republik to our visitors, but now we are having second thoughts. The food is pretty OK, and they have a quite interesting "Beer stock exchange" that is fun. The price is normal for the area. For the most part the servers are all very nice and the restaurant is relatively tourist-friendly. What we don't like is one of their business practices. If you pay by credit card in Germany, the server will usually bring a portable card reader. The usual procedure is that you would tell the server how much you'd like to tip, or the total amount you want to pay. You can of course opt to leave no tip, or leave a tip in cash. A receipt prints out, and you sign. However, a few times the server would just add their own tip to the total without our permission. Being tourists, my visitors will usually sign, thinking this is the norm for Germany. I think that's not very nice, and thus I will no longer recommend my visitors to visit this restaurant. I hope the management will change this dishonest business practice. I would be happy to change my rating if this problem is fixed. +4 stars for the food/environment, -2 stars for dishonest business practice. read more

A little bit of a tourist trap. The bread was old and the sizes of the snacks small. Wide selection of German main stream beer.

Great stop for a tourist afternoon. Nice view over the Spree in good weather, pleasant dining room. Lots of selections of beer. And better food than the usual. The Currywurst was genuinely good with lots of spice in the sausage itself as well as the sauce. Very good farmer's salad with lots of meat and potato. Nice flammekuchen. And as a bonus, some of the fastest WiFi I've found in Germany. This isn't some secret locals-only special old Berlin bar, it's a bit generic. But it's a good convenient place with lots of beer and better food than average. read more

The worst place in Berlin. Service is rude, slow, terrible. They rely on stupid tourists to stay in business.
