Paulaner Wirtshaus Berlin Potsdamer Platz in Berlin

Great Italian food and a great vibe.

The food was ok. However, it is served in a sheet pan. At these prices I can actually expect to be able to eat from a decent plate. In my opinion, the Kaiserschmarren at €12.50 is completely overpriced. It was served in a pan where not even the bottom was covered with Kaiserschmarren. As a portion size for a dessert, it's completely sufficient, but the price should be closer to €8.50, then it'll be fine. In my opinion everything is a bit too expensive.

Very friendly waiter, and the food is very good

Very friendly service. Food was very good. Would love to come back

Although at the time we visited it was full of people, a table was quickly found and in a very good location. The schnitzel perfectly cooked (only Germans and Austrians know how...), the salad just as good, as well as the meat balls. The main dishes with potatoes. And what can one say about the beer? Reasonable prices. All this for around 60 euros. The area is perfect. If you find yourself in Berlin, don't ignore it

Amazing place with killer atmosphere which offers Paulner beers and a variety of food High level place Also suitable for an evening out You can also buy beer for take away Recommended place

Poor chicken/potato ratio, but ok generally (not good and far from great).

Great vibes and the best waiter Ibi! I would definitely comeback

Good Bavarian food with generous potions, and quick service. A good selection of beer. Not a lot of atmoshere, however a good place to grab a meal close to other tourist sites.

Excellent experience and good food. The place is loud and very echoey. Don't try to have a quiet intimate conversation there.

Very good food, friendly staff, and a nice atmosphere. :)

Good beer, meh food, but why is it that whenever waiters hear English they shout loudly and proudly at the end of your meal "The tip isn't included"? I go to the same restaurant with friends speaking German or Italian or Franch, get the same waiter and they don't try to take advantage of us assuming we're American. Shame on you.

I loved my stay Especially recommend the Haxe!

Wonderful food, service and atmosphere! Aliyah is wonderful and very friendly!

We had a great time at Paulaner! Aliyah was brilliant, wonderful and served us very well! 100% recommended!

Stopped in for a quick beer before closing. Being from the USA we don’t get kegs/bottles this fresh. Both the pils and Helles were fantastic. They accommodated me to have a another quickly before closing

After waiting 10 minutes, we finally sat down because no one came to see us. We found an empty table. 5 minutes later, a waiter came to see us and told us that the table was reserved. Thank you for the welcome and goodbye.

Incredible beer. Great vibe. Average food (the cheese dish and the goolash were mediocre)

Zero attention to the clients. With particular indifference towards the tourists and newcomers. Shiny surface with poor staff attitude. Not recommended.

When the waiter realized we were French, he promptly showed us the exit. Talk about taking French exit a whole new level.

After 40 minutes when the waitress just kept telling us she would be back in a minute and was unable to order us food or drinks we left. We also had to bring our own menus. I don't know what the food was like but I haven't seen such unpleasant and slow service in a long time.

The service was super slow, chaotic and a bit rude, after almost 25 minutes at the table we didn't get anything...we left thirsty and hungry..

Yooo I loved this place so much! My waiter was amazing he was so kind and nice to me his name was Leon I recommend him so much

Our visit to the Paulaner Wirtshaus at Potsdamer Platz was a true highlight, especially thanks to Leon Lawrence! With his friendly, attentive, and professional manner, he made our evening perfect. Whether it was beer recommendations or prompt service, Leon had everything under control and always a smile on his face. This is what makes dining fun! We'd love to come back.

Leon the waiter best man, service great!

Great place, Leon really made the experience awesome

the sausage salad can't be any smaller... otherwise you'll miss it... momseneck was better, cheaper and the portions were also good...

Came for a quick lunch. The place is nicely renovated with cozy ambiance. Other than that, nothing to highlight .

Went here for dinner during the lunch break. Visually very nicely done, the food was unfortunately just about average. Probably a restaurant primarily for tourists. My soup could have been a ready-made soup, the pretzel was dry, the spaetzle also tasted like a mediocre ready-made product. Certainly quite comfortable for drinking pure beer.

The man at the bar this afternoon (checked shirt) was the best, always a pleasure

We met friends for dinner here. The kids enjoyed it and of course we did too. Schnitzel with fries on top, schnitzel with spaetzle on top, dumplings with red cabbage on top, sausage salad with fresh pretzel on top. Everything was delicious. Thanks for that.

Bravarian trio, and fresh mix beer with passion fruit. All great! Highly recommended. I had a great meal.

The food was very spicy, so I had to cool my mouth with some water(200cl). But the food was quickly on the table, that is actually my only positive remark.

Beer and food very good... Service a little slower and you don't get the real Bavarian atmosphere...

Excellent traditional Bavarian dishes, like schnitzels, sausages, and dumplings. Delicious and authentic. Decent service – usually polite and fast, but can be less attentive during busy times. Cozy and pleasant, with typical Bavarian decor. Great for group gatherings or family dinners.

Unfriendly, arrogant service and ridiculous prices for the food. Hunter sauce is clear from the bag. One word: tourist trap.

Perfect food and the service is great

Great service, great beer, music is debatable, recommendation goes out.

Very nice staff and the food is also delicious 😊

Good food in a loud environment. The food was great and the portions were decent. However, it was very loud and is therefore not recommended for a quiet and cozy meal. Tasty, loud, good service 👍

Never order kaiserschmarrn here, took 45min and was super dry. There rest of the food was okay

Good food, nice interior. Berlin prices, so it's not cheap, but adequate to the market. I recommend

Aliyah is the best waitress in the world.

Ordered the pork knuckle ("Schweinhaxe)" and skin was crispy and flavorful. The meat was a plain, but the dish is served with the pork drippings and that elevated the pork meat to the next level. Sadly, the knödel (which i was also greatly looking forward to) was plain for my liking. Again the drippings helped out with that. The Sauerkraut was very good. I'm not usually a fan, but it was the perfect balance to this savory/fatty dish! Caution this dish may take some time for the kitchen to prepare. Service was attentive and helpful. Nothing above and beyond, but cannot fault :). Dog friendly and also allowed inside.

Highly recommended, great service, great atmosphere. Would love to come back.

Frozen fries, not incredible but nice waitress, pretty nice place Look at my wife's look:

Yesterday we went to the Paulaner at the end of our Berlin trip. We were served very friendly. Unfortunately the taste of the food was not good. Chicken not cooked through, sausage salad without salad dressing, schnitzel very thin and dry. The portions were small and way too expensive. Too bad.

The staff is a 10/10 and keeps the brewery in business. The food is an absolute disaster, the schnitzel is ready-made in the oven, the meat patties are also dry lumps prepared in the oven. None of this has anything to do with Bavarian food. The ambience would certainly be better if countless green plants hadn't been placed on and next to the tables. Thanks to the waiter and his assistants, but you can completely forget about the food. The prices are a disgrace for the quality of the food.

We were there with the department for the beginning of the year celebration. Well organized event with 3 courses and drinks flat rate. We were initially 70 people due to illness and then only 60 people. No problem at all and I can absolutely recommend it for larger groups.

This is my favorite beer! And when I'm in Germany, I can't help but visit this place.

I’ve been to many Paulaner restos in different parts of Germany and enjoyed the experience. Unfortunately, this branch left a bitter taste in my mouth. My German friend was speaking to one of the waiters to get us a table for 2 - “Einen Tisch für mich und das Geburtstagskind (pointing and referring to me because it was my birthday) bitte”. The waiter replied with “Hier gibt es nichts umsonst” and then unenthusiastically pointed at a table. To imply that we were looking for free stuff was totally unnecessary and rude. We stayed because we always want to be the bigger people in situations like this. However, the restaurant should be made aware of this kind of behavior from their personnel.

Very expensive compared to other Berlin restaurants…

It is a personal assessment of the type of franchise restaurants, impersonal, large and noisy. The staff's attention was quick and the beer was good but it seemed expensive for a couple of plates of sausages, a beer, water and bread (57 euros)

The Paulaner Wirtshaus is located on the ground floor and is easily accessible in a central location, which gives it 5 points. Unfortunately, the ambience is modern and has absolutely nothing to do with coziness. The checkered Bavarian tablecloths don't make a difference either. Our nice Asian waitress deserves 5 points. The food wasn't bad but it wasn't particularly sophisticated either. If you go there with your friends and drink a delicious beer, everything I wrote here will soon be forgotten 😉

Bavarian ambience, in the middle of Berlin. Delicious food and drinks. Friendly service.

It is a known chain originating from Munich, but it is on the expensive side (even compared to Munich). The portion size vs. price is a bit disappointing.

Lovely place, good food, what else do you need to know?

First of all, I was born in Bavaria. I was invited there with a group of Americans. Unfortunately, the food there has little to do with hearty Bavarian cuisine. Many finished products, e.g. B. Potato salad. I had a schnitzel with fries. The schnitzel is rock hard and dry, the fries are deep fried. Also all finished products, no fresh schnitzel. The prices are high (22€, Wiener Schnitzel 30€, Radlerhalbe 5.60€). The Nuremberg bratwursts were shriveled and dry, as if they had been fried and then kept warm. The small salad drowned in ready-made dressing, I couldn't eat it. The beer was poured very poorly, without a head of foam (maybe warm glasses were used?). I was almost a bit ashamed that the Americans thought: this is Bavaria. I am proud of my origins and the tradition in Bavaria, unfortunately this has nothing to do with it. Unfortunately I don't recommend it. I have to mention the service positively! Very good.

The food was fabulous, the service was wonderful. Unfortunately it was a bit noisy so I couldn't have a quiet conversation with my wonderful companion.

I loved the atmosphere, the food and the beers!!

A modern "Bier Keller" serving traditional Munich style food. We arrived just before 8pm and managed to get a table without waiting. As many traditional German restaurants, the portions were huge and with a great selection of Munich Paulaner beers. Great sharing dishes for groups large or small. Friendly efficient service a few minutes from Potsdamer Platz station.

The three stars are for the very nice service. The food doesn't deserve a star. Price performance is bad. 22 euros for this chicken schnitzel. Underground.

Very nice place in the center of the city. Found by chance. Good food, good beer and fun. Highly recommended.

Me and my family (5 people) came for dinner as our last meal in Berlin. The drinks were served straight away but the service for food, bill and to take orders was extremely slow. The food was okay, we all finally ordered (some things weren’t available) but it was all confirmed. Me and my brothers food came out but as we were served ours the waiter told us that my parents food wasn’t available. So we were not able to eat together and they were told their dishes weren’t available when the rest of the food came. A good place for drinks but wouldn’t recommend dinner.

Reservations are recommended from 6 p.m.

The actual food they serve is good, but the preparation is not. Sausage and sauerkraut comes with very good mashed potatoes that aren’t very hot. The sauerkraut is good, but the sausage has been pre-cooked and then reheated so it’s dry. The food here could be quite good, but they’re just not putting any effort into it.

Great food and service. Let down by third world toilet hygiene

Shame for Bavaria!! There is also a reclaimer in the shop: “Munich art of brewing”, but you cannot enjoy this because of the extremely poor pouring skills!

I can only show you an empty plate because we enjoyed the Bavarian trio and breads too much to make a photo at the start 😄. Great food, great beer and great personnel!

Overall, a great restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere. However, the prices are excessively high.

Service was really great, but the food was a total flop. Children's portion larger than a normal one and tastes terribly bad.

Very crowded and correspondingly loud at times of Christmas celebrations. The staff was very friendly, tried hard, but was sometimes overwhelmed due to the number of guests. Drink orders sometimes took a while, even after repeated requests. The food was great. In quieter times there is bound to be something special.

Good restaurant with good price-performance ratio. Typical Bavarian cuisine.

Nice brewery, quick service. Recommended, price performance is right.

The food was good. There was a wide range of German food and the portions were plentiful.

Food very tasty. Goulash is very good and the meat is very soft. The price worth and the place is very nice. The waiters is very polite and calm. They have a nice beer as well. The pork knuckle has a very crunch and nice skin.

OK. Something can go wrong anywhere. What is convincing here is the complaint management.

The beer tastes delicious. However, I unfortunately have to say the cleanliness really leaves a lot to be desired. However, if you do have to go to the toilet, it won't be nice. Cleanliness and lighting should be reconsidered.

Delicious half chicken, nice ambiance

Great atmosphere, delicious food, unfortunately the level of service depended heavily on the waiter. Nevertheless, we recommend it!

Super tasty beer, extensive menu (with beer and food). A bit uncomfortable in a new building, but fine inside. Service in lederhosen, as it should be.

The worst cheese spaetzle I've ever eaten. The service was subpar

I booked 2 lanes of curling for my family and friends and then reserved a table. The communication in advance was very uncomplicated. Everything went well, the food we ordered in advance tasted very good and the service was quick and friendly. We had a very nice evening and would love to come back.

Greet food. Good beer. Staff were not overly friendly.

Excellent food, reasonable prices. Would definitely return

Delicious food and great beer. We'll come back for another family meal before we head home from Germany.

Enjoyed the meatloaf. Great texture with a slightly sweet and savoury sauce on the side, and a great potato salad.

Make sure you have enough tips, otherwise you risk excessive disrespect!!! Incident from December 1st, 2024, around 2:30 p.m.: After we saw the Paulaner Wirtshaus and spontaneously ordered two wheat beers “quickly,” the “waiter” made it clear to us in a very blunt manner that “we can then pay directly.” - Based on this request - it was not a request - payment was made immediately. Since the tip apparently did not meet the waiter's needs, he made this unmistakably clear by turning back to his colleagues and loudly mocking and laughing at us as paying customers during the payment process. Finally he went to the rest of the staff and described the incident there again in an arrogant, disrespectful manner. It was hard to ignore, as the rest of the customers were also surprised by the behavior. Regardless of the fact that the tip did not cause anyone to jump for joy, there should definitely be a certain degree of respect in the restaurant, but unfortunately this was in no way the case on the part of the waiter. The Paulaner Wirtshaus is actually very inviting. However, the incident that day caused a huge amount of anger, so I unfortunately have to write this post in order to avoid future grievances. It's a shame, we were actually looking forward to the wheat beer :)

We had our company Christmas party here. It was great! There was good organization and friendly advice from the managing director, Mr. Scheidt. The food was great - we had classic goose legs, red cabbage, kale and dumplings. A cold snack platter beforehand and all sorts of sweets afterwards. All highly recommended.

Relatively expensive, but very tasty. The atmosphere is more modern-Bavarian. For my personal taste it could be a little more traditional.

Price-performance ratio is not right here at all! Sausage pan with sauerkraut and mashed potatoes + mulled wine (seasonal) + water = 37 euros 🤯 If everything were fresh, I would revise the rating upwards, but the sausages were not fresh, completely shriveled from being kept warm for hours and the mulled wine was lukewarm. In terms of taste, the sauerkraut was great and the waiter was really nice too. It feels like you're paying a lot more for the central location!

We spontaneously decided to eat there and didn't regret it. We had free choice of seating, were served in a nice and friendly manner and the food was just so delicious. We can recommend it to everyone.

Gladly again. There were 13 of us, so in a small group. Luckily we had reserved beforehand. The service was not intrusive, but always with a good eye on us, so that our requests were always answered immediately. Even though it was busy, it wasn't too loud. The food was good, home-style. If you want something special and have high standards, you just have to go somewhere else. Our group thought it was delicious and was full. We felt very comfortable.

Walked in and placed an order for takeout. Came back about 30 minutes later to collect my order, upon double checking I noticed they did not provide the pretzel with the sausage plate as listed. Asked the server and it was quickly remedied. I should have investigated further. When I got home I realized they did not provide the side salad with my pork schnitzel and the mustard provided with the white sausages was not honey mustard. If you order delivery or takeout from this location be sure to double check your order before accepting . EDIT: my review was flagged and removed for “false engagement” but it has been reinstated after appeal. I will contact the restaurant as they have requested and post a follow up.

Food was very tasty. Service was quick and super nice and the ambience was appropriate for a tavern. Can't complain.

Paulaner Wirtshaus Berlin on Potsdamer Platz is a really cozy German pub. There is room here for all types, even for those who are not fond of beer. But if you like good German beer, this is the place. If you're really thirsty, you can order a beer ønde with 30 liters of beer to share! You can also just settle for a standard 1 liter beer, or something smaller if you are not thirsty enough. Besides that, you can be served good German food, and in portions big enough to fill a grown man! we visited the place twice, but they forgot something or the other each time, but we got a free beer each time, which you shouldn't complain about. Super good service and good atmosphere.

We returned from a trip around the city and were looking for a decent meal. We decided to go in here. The restaurant was beautifully decorated with plants and wreaths. We didn't reserve a table and it was full, but the staff tried hard and managed to organize a place. I ordered a currywurst. The waiting time for the food was good. The food, however, leaves something to be desired. The fries weren't very crispy and the currywurst wasn't anything special either. The curry sauce was very good, although served in a sparse amount. For an additional charge there was some extra sauce. The toilets are clean and hygienic. The staff are friendly, but unfortunately the food is just average.

I wouldn't go there again to eat: the schnitzel I ordered unfortunately turned out to be cheap frozen meat that was served dark brown, dry and resistant to cuts. My complaint was accepted without any problems: after a few minutes I received a new frozen schnitzel - probably from the microwave. As revenge from the kitchen for my criticism, this time there was neither a deep fryer nor a pan. The dry side salad couldn't save the dish either.

We went there twice, once with customers for a beer and the next evening with a colleague for dinner. Both times we received quick and friendly service, even though the store was busy both times. Paulaner beers need no explanation, and the food was very good too. Quite okay in terms of price. I can highly recommend it.

Tasty, reasonable prices, good service. I recommend
