Full description

Prater Garten has operated since 1837, making it Berlin's oldest beer garden and a long-standing fixture of local life in Prenzlauer Berg. The self-service garden area keeps things casual and communal — order at the counter, grab a long table, and settle in under the trees — with a rotating beer selection worth checking before you go.

Even longtime Berlin residents admit to only recently discovering it despite its history, a testament to how unassuming and locally embedded it remains. No reservation is needed, and it's best enjoyed on a warm afternoon.

Reviews

What is happening? We had a family lunch there three weeks ago and everything was ok. Yesterday they served us ridiculously small portions for the regular price on dessert plates! The beer garden was almost empty and it was early lunchtime.
