Prost!

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!

Appel strudel for dessert.

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.

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!

Three sausages plate. Good

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

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!).

Stories on the wall.

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.

schnitzel

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.

Sooooooooooo.... After am awesome workout at the gym on Christmas wandered rhe streets of Berlin in search of a culinary introduction to "Yole tide". Almost ended up at am Irish and an Italian restaurant but the universe directed to Republik. The food was phenomenal. The wait staff were fluent in English and German (great as my English sucks ). They served promptly and with professionalism and courtesy. Definately coming back.

It is not fancy, but great lively place with fantastic traditional food. Place seems to always have people, great great place to come for a beer and a great snitzel, roasted duck or pork knuckle.

When in Berlin this is a great option. Selection of food & beer is top notch. Atmosphere is lively & fun. Service is attentive, helpful & prompt. The faux stock ticker on the beer indicating price fluctuations is a clever idea. Fun. Prices flucuate so enjoy the occasional discount.

Pork knuckle is actually quite huge.. And very tasty!
Vera Marie J.

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!

So far the beers good.

Stumbled upon this gem while in route to tour the Reichstag building. Looking for something easy in…read moreand out, the Windhorst was where we came to be. Place is small with a small outdoor area. Prices are like the States but what you get are hand crafted cocktails that are oh so good. It was the perfect, quiet little cozy corner for us to happen upon and we enjoyed the beverages that were served up to us immensely. We finally found the cocktail bar we'd been searching for in Berlin!

We were walking around the area when we decided to go for a drink and after seeing the reviews on…read moreYelp we decided to check out this bar. Since smoking is allowed in Berlin bars we opted to sit at the little spot right outside the door. It was a prime spot to view the entire bar as well as listen to the soft jazz notes in the background. I definitely agree with other reviews. The music selection is excellent! It's a perfect accompaniment to the well crafted cocktails. As for the cocktails I ordered a Cover Club cocktail since it's one of my favorite gin cocktails and they specialize in gin. My BF ordered a more tropical drink with lychee. Both cocktails were delicious. I also loved the quiet and intimate atmosphere. It's perfect for a sophisticated date night. Berlin has some very promising cocktail bars so I'm making my way thru them but Windhorst is definitely my kind of spot.
