Alte Liebe Tempelhof

Alte Liebe Tempelhof: From Freighter to Summer Restaurant

Anyone looking for a restaurant ship in Berlin in summer will eventually end up at Tempelhof Harbor. The Alte Liebe was once a transport ship and now enjoys a new life as a restaurant ship from May to September. The well-maintained terrace deck immediately shows that the ship has been renovated and reopened. The beautiful summer location of Marina Tempelhof in Tempelhof Harbor is now part of the Pier 13 Berlin event venue. This gives the place a special energy: around the barge, there’s a harbor atmosphere in summer, while old warehouse buildings and restored cranes frame the scenery.

So, if you want to sit on a restaurant ship in Berlin and truly be surrounded by water, this is a good choice. Sitting on an old freighter in the middle of Tempelhof Harbor and enjoying the view of the port surprisingly feels like a short getaway, even though the city is close at hand. During the day, boats and yachts pass by, and in the evenings, there are sunsets over the harbor basin.

Grilling, Beer, and Harbor View

The offering on board is down-to-earth and straightforward. There’s plenty fresh from the grill and fresh draft beer. This sets the perfect tone for a relaxed restaurant ship experience that is neither overpriced nor overloaded. However, those expecting an extensive menu should calibrate their expectations accordingly. You can relax by the water and enjoy various drinks. Important to know: With a spacious wooden terrace and a stylishly designed beach area including a jetty, the area around Pier 13 offers additional space. Furthermore, the barge can be booked for private events, which also makes the restaurant ship attractive for events. If you want to ensure a spot, you should contact them in advance, as places on board are naturally limited.
