Less than a hundred meters from the former border crossing: Murphy's Irish Pub at Checkpoint Charlie combines Irish hospitality with one of Berlin's most famous memorial sites. Live music, a wide selection of beers, and pub classics make this a true hotspot for tourists and locals alike.
Murphy’s Irish Pub Checkpoint Charlie: Beer, Shots, and Pub Food
On tap are Guinness, Murphy’s Red, and Murphy’s Stout, plus Newcastle Brown Ale and Warsteiner for those who prefer something a bit more local. Those reaching for whiskey are spoilt for choice: the menu includes a considerable selection of different varieties from all over the world. Shots like Irish Flag or Baby Guinness complete the drink menu. For cuisine, the pub focuses on classics: Fish and Chips, Shepherd’s Pie, and Currywurst with Fries are staple items on the menu. Open for lunch and dinner, with evenings being significantly busier than the quiet midday hours. Prices are fair, especially given the location directly at Checkpoint Charlie.
Irish Pub directly at Checkpoint Charlie: Location with History
Murphy’s Irish Pub at Checkpoint Charlie is located at Zimmerstraße 19, literally around the corner from the Berlin Wall’s most famous border crossing. Visitors who have spent the day at the Wall Museum or the Asisi Panorama “The Wall” will find this the most convenient place to wind down the afternoon. The interior features wood-paneled walls, whiskey bottle shelves, and Irish memorabilia, as befits an Irish Pub. Unusual: Guests are greeted at the entrance by a Zoltar Speaks machine, which creates an unexpected first impression. The pub regularly hosts live music, creating a great atmosphere, especially when sports broadcasts are on the screens. Rugby, football, and Six Nations attract a mixed, international crowd here.
