My review is base on the customer service I got from bia the lady with pale skin and long black curly hair at the catchier if you are a tourist looking for helpful questions about the menu and drinks don't approach to her she won't help you at all., she gave me the worst time at the cashier being the rudest person I have ever encountered in a restaurant., my husband my kid and I couldn't enjoy our time at the restaurant after being mistreated by this lady. I reported this to a coworker he had an attention with us unfortunately with couldn't enjoy it due to the terrible experience We had.

Schleusenkurg is one of the Biergarten inside the Tiergarten. It's very close to the river side. that made it a very nice place to just sit down and have yourself a relaxing day. This place is completely self-service. Which is great in some way. For example, no need to waste time to wait for someone to come over. All you need to do just to find a nice table and occupie it. You can make your order at the entrance. Just remember have some cash with you. It easier and faster to get the drinks. They also offer some German dishes and cakes. I was here with my study colleagues for drinks. It was very lovely day. Blue sky and sun shine, the trains passed by many time, just next to us, it was quite cool, and the atmosphere was quite nice as well. Most of the seats are outdoor. There are some also on the boat. Drinks here were ok. The drinks was nothing special, at least I haven't seen anything special on the menu. Somehow it's still manage to be one of the popular place for locals. I do have some ideas why through. Didn't really try the food, but they looked nice. Beside the beautiful Tiergarten, it also fairly close to the Zoo, Zoo Palast, also some shopping centers around and S-/U-bahnhof Zoologischer Garten. I find this place very easy to get around. You can enjoy the beauty and the peaceful of the nature in one hand, another hand the city side just close by. When you got a suddenly feeling, want to shop something, just go for it.

I got lost wandering through the Tiergarten attempting to find my way to my hostel near the zoo. I stopped along a bridge to take a few photos and found this building with paintings hanging on the outside. Yes. Paintings. Outside instead of on the walls indoors. As I turned the corner, not only were the paintings accompanied by beautiful chandeliers, also hanging on the outside) but I discovered this eccentric building is also a delicious cafe. Seeing as I had gone four hours without eating or drinking (navigating large parks has never been my strong suit) I was determined to have a milchkaffe. They were out of most pastries and being my first day in Berlin, I had no idea what I was looking at on the menu. The gentleman behind the counter recognized my struggle and suggested I try one of their cakes. Cake falls somewhere in the food pyramid. So yes. I will have my cake and eat it too! Holy. Smokes. Un. Real. Just in my first bite I died and went to heaven. And then I photographed the desert because I finally discovered what heaven tastes like. It's a raspberry gelatin fluffy white cake with a tall milchkaffe I tell you. I've posted the photo so you can see what I'm talking about. And yes. It looks as good as it tastes. I ended up playing sailor on the children's boat they've provided around the back. Because I'm an adult. And even adults want to be captain on the USS Awesomesauce. I also sat at the water's edge and watched the river rise and fall to let vessels through. All the while drinking my milchkaffe through a bed straw. Again. Because I am a fully capable adult. Should I admit I ate here six more times fmduring my four day adventure in Berlin? I don't know if it's the awesome patio, the delicious deserts, or the quirky decor, but this place stole my heart. If you've finished for the day at the zoo or have also spent four hours trying to find your way through the Tiergarten, add this place to your list of must eats. You won't be disappointed!

We went here on Sunday lunch time in April - the weather was chilly so not many people around. The setting is lovely and I can imagine it gets very busy in summer. It is directly behind the zoo, beside the river. We just had drinks here so can't comment on the food. Service was good and friendly.

On a nice hot day, there is nothing quite like hanging out at a beergarden and just enjoying a beer and good company. There are plenty of beergardens to choose from, but I especially like the Schleusenkrug near the Zoo. It's a popular place, so it can get crowded, but you should still be able to find a spot at one of the many tables. Don't be afraid to sit near strangers. In fact, do and make conversation. The Schleusenkrug has such a nice family-like atmosphere. It's also really kid-friendly. Besides haivng a drink and some food, you can also play boules. They also have a set for kids and there is a large chalkboard as well as a boat for kids to play in. The Schleusenkrug offers several beers on tap as well as in bottles, but also non-alcoholic drinks. A beer will cost you EUR3.50 and a Coke EUR2.50. Fair prices. You have to order your drinks and take them to the table yourself, so don't sit down and expect to be waited on. The Schleusenkrug also offers several things to eat. They have your typical pretzel, but also sausages, steaks and more from the grill. They also have a few yummy dishes. German cuisine. Just perfect along with a nice Erdinger Weißbier. Again, fair prices.

What a great beer garden!!! Came here on a lovely day in Berlin. The place was sooo full but we were lucky to find a seat. Self service so you go up to the bar. We didn't have food here only drinks but the grill was open and the smell wafting over us was amazing! Really fab spot in Tiergarten and is a must see stop if you've visited the zoo or had a wander through Tiergarten!

Really cool environment where you can enjoy a huge jug of beer and eat delicious foods. The place breaks down into two restaurants -- one that has more entrees and the other different sausages and quick eats. Came here for a bike tour and had the allgauer buble beer (recommended), the meatballs and potatoes wedges, and the german pasta. The meatballs were delicious and covered in the berlin favorite curry sauce and came with perfectly grilled potato wedges, a side of salad, and coleslaw. The German pasta was like a light white cheese mac and cheese with pasta that looked like longer macaroni. Didn't love this but was a good try. The meatballs were bomb and made me love curry sauce even more! Also, theres live music playing so you and your company can drink, eat, and enjoy together.

We came by here after a trip to the zoo. When it's gets packed, it gets filled with smoke as the umbrellas and bushes keep it trapped in each section. Luckily, there are tons of seats everywhere and although we moved seats four times, we eventually found an area where people weren't smoking as much. We started with the tortellini which was tasty and finished with one of the artisan pizzas. By the time we left it was packed so be sure to get there early!
