A brewhouse is where beer and hearty food come together, and Berlin keeps the tradition alive in halls large and small. A brewhouse usually brews on site, serving fresh lager and wheat beer alongside sausages, roasts and pretzels. This tag collects Berlin locations for a proper beer hall experience.
Traditional brewhouses around Mitte and the eastern districts pour house brews in copper kettled halls, some with courtyards and beer gardens for summer. The mood is convivial and loud, built for sharing platters and long tables. Many run seasonal specials and brewery tours, and craft focused newcomers add modern styles to the classic range.

Since 1994, Brauhaus Spandau has been brewing its unfiltered Havelbräu in the historic brick building on Kolk, complemented by a rotating special beer each month.

Among Berlin's breweries, this is the location with the largest open-air space.
Hardly any brewpub in Berlin is as central: Hopfingerbräu is located in the Palais am Pariser Platz, less than a hundred meters from the Brandenburg Gate.

Inside, 230 seats on two floors, plus a terrace with a view of the Gate and the Reichstag.
Brauhaus Südstern is history; since May 2026, SUUUD Brewery has been located on Hasenheide. Brewing continues on-site: six house-brewed varieties, from Pilsner with Saaz hops to Session IPA, half-liter starting from 5.50 Euros. The beer garden overlooks Volkspark Hasenheide, with live music and comedy on stage. No other brewery in Berlin is this young.
The Hofbräu Wirtshaus Berlin at Alexanderplatz, with 6,500 square meters of guest area, calls itself the largest inn in Europe and is located in a former GDR canteen building.

A new team has been brewing on Hasenheide since 2026 in the kit of the former Brauhaus Südstern, which closed at the end of 2025. Seven beers run from the taps and the beer garden behind the house already belongs to Neukölln. As a gift for men the Suuud Brauerei offers brewing courses and tours, booked directly with the team.

Since 1992, the family-run Georgbraeu brewery on the Spree riverbank in the Nikolaiviertel has been brewing its unfiltered light and dark beers according to the German Purity Law, plus seasonal beers from Maibock to Pale Ale. Both standard varieties are only available here at the brewery. Among Berlin's breweries, it boasts the most beautiful terrace by the water, along with Eisbein and Haxe from the kitchen.
Beer was served at Pfefferberg on Schönhauser Allee as early as 1844. Today, Thorsten Schoppe brews seven of his own varieties there, from the tart Bergpils to the alcohol-free Bergstrasse.

The Schlossplatzbrauerei on Köpenick's Schlossplatz calls itself Germany's smallest brewery, and with about 35 square meters in a completely glassed-in house, that's probably true.
