Foosbal table is kind of shoddy, and you have to pay to play, but there are also board games. Friendly service. I'm really not sure what the German reviews are talking about on about regarding the "Konzept" of the place - it's just a little neighborhood bar - but it's a good one!

This is what people call 'no frills' and although that's kinda true I think it is a disservice. This is a German kniepe, what you see is what you get and well, we liked what we saw. I could easily spend long nights in here - great choice of beers, liquers and apertifs. Didn't sample the food but the menu looked good and any food coming pact to other diners looked basic and wholesome. We thought the service was great - we got chatting the lady behind the bar and she was very friendly. Charming.

We ordered the schnitzel and the bratwurst, which came with cabbage and potato salad, and paired everything with a Berliner Kindl and a Pilsner. The schnitzel was fantastic--crispy, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor--while the bratwurst was equally delicious. The cabbage and potato salad complemented the sausage beautifully, and I found myself piling both onto my schnitzel because they were that good! The true star of the evening, however, was the apple strudel. Freshly made, perfectly sweet, and easily the best apple strudel I had in Berlin. We had a reservation, which I'd recommend since the restaurant filled up quickly during dinner service. The service was fast, friendly, and the staff spoke excellent English, making the experience easy and welcoming for visitors. Since it was a warm evening, we chose the outdoor seating, which made for a lovely dinner, though the indoor dining room has the cozy charm of a traditional German pub. If you're looking for hearty, authentic German food done right, Dicke Wirtin is an absolute must-visit.
