Celtic Cottage

Since 1979, the Celtic Cottage in Steglitz has been one of Germany's oldest Irish pubs – and far more than just a regular pub. On Thursdays and Saturdays, there's live music with free admission, ranging from Irish Folk to Celtic Rock and Country. If you're looking for an authentic pub atmosphere away from the city center, you'll find it here.

Celtic Cottage: Berlin’s oldest Irish Pub with Live Music

It’s not just because of the beer and the impressive whiskey selection that this long-established corner pub has made a name for itself far beyond the borders of Steglitz’s. Above all, the live music acts, which take place several times a week, and the almost legendary Monday Pub Quiz have earned the Celtic Cottage a loyal fan base throughout Berlin – not least because admission is always free. The program extends far beyond Irish Folk. On Thursdays and Saturdays, bands and musicians play everything from Irish Folk, Celtic Rock, Acoustic, and Country. Especially from September to May, guests from all Berlin districts come to Steglitz specifically for the live music. The place gets full then – the pub can only hold about 80 people.

Guinness, Whiskey, and Authentic Irish Cuisine

Anyone visiting the Celtic Cottage for the first time quickly realizes that everything is just right here. At the bar, there are nine different draught beers to choose from, including, of course, Guinness, Murphy’s Irish Stout, and Murphy’s Irish Red. Those who prefer something more refined will also not be disappointed: The whiskey menu includes around 70 varieties. The kitchen also impresses with its Irish consistency. The Full Irish Breakfast with Bacon, Beans, original Irish sausages, and Black and White Pudding is among the highlights. In the evenings, there are hearty pub classics such as Shepherd’s Pie, Cheeseburgers, and Sandwiches. On Mondays, the Pub Quiz, which has been running since 2004, takes place. It is so popular that advance registration is required. St. Patrick’s Day is also celebrated especially here: The parties at the Cottage are legendary – with a great atmosphere, lovely decorations, and live music, including guests singing along.
