The morning pint, or Fruehschoppen, is a cheerful German tradition, and Berlin keeps it alive in its pubs and beer gardens. A relaxed morning pint with a snack and good company turns a Sunday into something sociable. This overview gathers Berlin locations for an early, easygoing drink.
Traditional pubs and beer gardens across Mitte, Prenzlauer Berg and the east open early on weekends for a leisurely beer, often with white sausages, pretzels and live music.
