The beer garden is as much a part of summer as the sun itself. What could be nicer than sipping a cold drink in lukewarm temperatures and simply letting your mind wander? Exactly, almost nothing. We've scoured Berlin's beer garden world and put together a list of all the places you should definitely know.

Cheers! :)

ZENNER Biergarten & Weingarten

Alt-Treptow 15
12435 Berlin

Big parties were held here 200 years ago and now the historic event location is back in new splendor. A combination of culture and gastronomy with a large, actually huge, beer and wine garden directly on the banks of the Spree. The diverse culinary offering is consistent, and sometimes there is also live music. In terms of beer, the traditional brand "Berliner Bürgerbrau Pils", which was relaunched especially for Zenner, flows. But thanks to other classics such as Tegernseer Hell or craft beers, all tastes are catered for here.

The Golgatha beer garden in Berlin's Viktoriapark has been a well-known meeting place in Kreuzberg since 1977. During the day, it invites you to linger with shady spots, good food from the grill and a relaxed atmosphere. In the evenings, DJs, delicious drinks and, for those who are up for it, soccer broadcasts create a great atmosphere. Berlin neighborhood culture at its best.

Here you can enjoy freshly tapped craft beer, relaxed vibes and French-inspired snacks from the food truck. In summer, there is a colorful cultural program with live music, readings and more - perfect for anyone who wants to combine beer enjoyment with Berlin neighborhood charm and a festival feeling.

Prater Biergarten

Kastanienallee 7-9
10435 Berlin

Berlin's oldest beer garden has existed since 1837 and has therefore seen a lot. Since the 90s, it has not only been a summer garden, but also a restaurant all year round. Space for lots of people and yet still cozy - that's something the Prater should emulate. Under old chestnut trees, you can enjoy freshly tapped beer, classics such as schnitzel or matjes and a relaxed, sociable atmosphere. Whether for an after-work drink, a cozy dinner or simply a get-together with friends - the Prater is always a good idea. Authentic, charming and typically Berlin.

Berlin's first restaurant was built here in 1700, right on the banks of the Spree. You will be served a wide selection of drinks and German cuisine with a Mediterranean touch. In August there is a summer party with live music. But we've already had you at Spreeblick, haven't we?

Schleusenkrug, der Biergarten im Tiergarten Berlin

Müller-Breslau-Straße 14b
10623 Berlin

Iconic beer garden in Tiergarten: snacks and drinks with a view of the river and locks have been served here on the Landwehr Canal since 1954. Back then it was just a small kiosk, but over time it has become a genuine beer garden that is now an integral part of Berlin. It serves hearty German cuisine, mhhmm!

Karl-Marx-Straße 66

Not a typical beer garden, but: a cultural roof garden in the middle of the city and still green. Then there's the panoramic view (what?!). There are also two indoor floors for concerts and DJs, readings and movies, poetry slams and much more. Hallelujah, but now it's time to glide into summer: enjoy ice-cold drinks and calzone pizza above the rooftops of Berlin while grooving to DJ sets from the Sundowner Sessions. Pure relaxation!

300 years ago a marketplace for the timber trade, later a gasworks, landfill site, wasteland and techno club - there was a lot going on here. Nowadays, the little square on the banks of the Spree is there for everyone. A village in the middle of the city. And it is diverse: there is a café, a restaurant, a patisserie and, of course, a casual beer garden with Holzmarkt Brauerei's own beer on tap.

BRLO Brwhouse

Schöneberger Straße 16

It is home to the brewery and restaurant with beer garden under the management of Ben Pommer.
