Foosball, or Kicker, is a bar room staple in Berlin, a quick, competitive game to go with a beer. From battered pub tables to dedicated leagues, foosball here is a social fixture. This overview gathers Berlin locations for a spin of the handles.
Bars and pubs across Kreuzberg, Neukoelln and Friedrichshain keep tables in the back, some running regular tournaments and leagues for keen players. Dedicated game bars add several tables alongside darts and table tennis, and student hangouts keep the tradition going. It is one of the easiest ways to break the ice over a drink.

Opposite the Volksbühne, Volksbar operates a screen of approximately 24 square meters, the largest a Berlin pub offers for the Sunday crime show. Around fifty guests can fit in front of it, and there are cocktails, draft beer, and a foosball table in the basement. If you want to watch Tatort here, you should arrive half an hour before the film.
The Milchbar on Manteuffelstraße in Kreuzberg has been one of Berlin's most legendary football pubs since 1988. Rock'n'Roll, foosball, pinball, and public viewing under surreal underwater murals make this place a true Kreuzberg original.
Paule's Metal Eck on Krossener Straße is the metal pub of the Simon-Dach-Kiez: red-black dim light, skulls up to the ceiling, around ten draft beers, and cash payment. Billiards, foosball, and darts are in the back. Among Berlin's cult scene pubs, Metal Eck is the meeting point where the Berlin metal scene actually gathers.
The FC Magnet Bar on Veteranenstraße was founded in 2000 as the clubhouse of FC Magnet Mitte and remains a pub with pennants on the wall and a foosball table in the basement. Five televisions and a projector screen are spread across the rooms; outside, tables are set near Weinbergspark. For Sunday crime dramas in Mitte, this means: come early, no reservations are taken.
Dark, smoky, and with genuine local pub character: Wiener Blut in Kreuzberg 36, near Görlitzer Bahnhof, is one of Berlin's most authentic football pubs. On Saturdays, the Bundesliga conference is shown, and during the week, there's jazz and foosball.
The Industriepalast Hostel and Hotel in Friedrichshain links old industry culture with modern design.
Hase in the Boxhagener Kiez is a Friedrichshain neighborhood pub with vinyl records as bar stool seats, lamps made from Jack Daniel's bottles, and a foosball table between the sofas. Musically, it's all about Ska, Psychobilly, and Rockabilly, and smoking is allowed. The pub itself includes 'Tatort' in its program, alongside pub quizzes and football.
In Kreuzberg, directly at Schlesisches Tor, one of Berlin's most unique bars is hidden in a former brothel: Madame Claude literally turns everything upside down. Sofas, lamps, and tables stick to the ceiling, while every evening live music, DJs, and open-mic nights lure guests into the cellar.
The Sunflower Hostel is a smaller venue in hip Friedrichshain, not too far away from Simon-Dach-Straße, the Berghain Club and the East Side Gallery and it's all about sunflowers.
At Jatz Bar in Berlin-Wedding you don’t just get a happy hour – you get happy days!
