Berlin beer gardens: 30 dream places for the perfect summer day!

Summertime has arrived in Berlin, and that means that Berliners are making themselves comfortable in the numerous garden bars and beer gardens. As [rbb-online](https://www.rbb-online.de/ Fernsehenen/programm/11_07_2025/1995725.html) reports, these open-air places are particularly popular, especially on sunny days. Here you can not only enjoy the fresh air, but also find delicious dishes and shady places that invite you to linger.

The new episode of “Experience Berlin” focuses on 30 of these garden bars and beer gardens. Classic places like the “Fährhaus Saatwinkel” on Lake Tegel or the “Altstadtcafé Cöpenick” on the banks of the Dahme promise quiet surroundings far away from the hectic street noise. The “BRLO Brwhouse” at Gleisdreieck and the “Eschenbräu” in Wedding are also among the popular spots that offer visitors a variety of culinary delicacies.

Tradition meets modernity

Enjoying beer outdoors has a long tradition in Berlin. Over 200 years ago, King Max of Bavaria gave Bavarian breweries permission to serve beer outdoors. A few years later, the first beer gardens appeared in Prussia, such as the “Prater” on Kastanienallee, which is now a popular place for many Berliners. In recent years, beer garden culture has evolved and now offers a variety of international influences and modern variations.

An example of this is the popular “Zenner” in Alt-Treptow, known for its lively atmosphere and motto “We are open when the weather is nice”. Here guests can expect a colorful program with music and a party atmosphere. In addition, the “Frannz Club” in the Kulturbraurei Prenzlauer Berg attracts visitors with a varied range of events, which includes concerts and cultural events and also offers vegan and vegetarian dishes.

Diversity of offers

The variety of Berlin beer gardens is almost endless. In the “Pfefferbräu”, for example, you can enjoy home-brewed beers and fine European cuisine. If you prefer something a little more casual, you can experience a mixture of hustle and bustle and club atmosphere at “Birgit und Bier” in Kreuzberg, where DJs keep the atmosphere going at night. Another highlight is the “Cafe am Neuen See” in the Tiergarten, where you can enjoy a wide selection of self-service dishes.

There are also many rustic beer gardens in Berlin, such as the “Mauersegler” next to Mauerpark, which is known for fresh beer and barbecue offerings. “Gundelfinger” in Karlshorst also stands out with its homemade empanadas – a real treat after a long summer day.

An evening outdoors

For a perfect summer evening, these establishments offer more than just food and drink: live music and special events transform a simple evening into an unforgettable experience. From brunch with live music in the “Sommergarten an der Alten Turnhalle” in Friedrichshain to the relaxing sounds in the “Schleusenkrug” in Charlottenburg, there is something for every taste. There is no question that beer gardens are part of the Berlin way of life and are worth a visit even outside of the beer season.

The guests in the new episode of “Experience Berlin” are not only entertaining, but also an exciting mix of musicians, actors and culinary experts who celebrate the diversity and beauty of Berlin's garden restaurants: including citizens Lars Dietrich, Ivy Quainoo and restaurateur Jennifer Mulinde-Schmid. They ensure that viewers are inspired to properly celebrate the most wonderful time of the year.
