Best Bars And Beer Gardens To Visit In Berlin

Berlin is renowned for its legendary nightlife that offers something to suit everyone’s tastes. But, when you visit the city during your Germany holidays, you’re bound to want to sample only the best it has to offer. Here’s a run-down of the top 3 bars and pubs you should visit to have the time of your life in Berlin:

Prater Garten:  

Prater Garten, established in 1837, is Berlin’s oldest beer garden. Sporting yellow picnic tables and home to shade-providing chestnut trees, Prater Garten can host up to 600 people at a time. Here you must try the Prater Pils, a dark beer brewed by the Prater Garden itself. While it provides the perfect venue to enjoy a beer or two with the locals on sunny days, you can even visit on days when the weather isn’t ideal and sit in their beer hall. Make sure to sample the goulash and wiener schnitzel too!

Die Weinerei

Berlin is known for its liberal attitude and one of the places you can truly experience this is at Dei weinerei. The reason? There are no bills presented or prices put on the wine served here. Instead, patrons are free to pay whatever amount they please for the wine they consume, barring a small initial cover charge. It may seem like a system too easy to take advantage of, but the management doesn’t mind the risk. Most people in fact tend to put much more into the tip jar than it would actually have cost them elsewhere. Perhaps it’s the charming, relaxed atmosphere of the place, or just a show of goodwill for faith put in humanity. Whatever the reason, Dei Weinerei provides a novel experience, not to mention an excellent wine list you must experiment with.  

Bar Tausend:

If you’re looking for one of the hippest bars in town, then Bar Tausend is the place to go. Finding it however, may be a bit of a challenge. This high-end nightspot has no sign or lights outside its imposing iron door. The best bet is to go with a few locals or get help from your Germany holidays tour guide. Once inside though, the atmosphere is addictive with space-age decor and a number of models, filmmakers and socialites doing the rounds, sipping on expensive cocktails. House music plays late into the night and the shiny steel walls, elevated seating areas and curved glass sculptures provide an excellent background to let loose and party hard.

So whether you’d like to get together with a couple of friends or locals and sip authentic German beer brewed just for you, participate in a social experiment that promises good wine and good times, or live the high life in one of the most happening spots in town, Berlin has something for every mood, wish and traveller. Cheers!
