Schleusenkrug in Berlin

Loved the place, nice food on a lovely day

The prices are steep for a self-service restaurant, in my opinion. (Currywurst for £15.50, light beer for €5.80) You have to accept the wait. The menu is unpretentious. It's been around forever and will probably continue.

One of Berlin's beer halls - delicious, filling, simple and atmospheric. I love such places for their publicity and lack of unnecessary pathos. I highly recommend it.

Food and drinks are ordered at the counter, and the dishes are delivered to your table as soon as they're ready. You can sit in the lovely beer garden or inside. The staff is young and relaxed. There's a small menu with high-quality products. Very appetizing and delicious!

It's always very nice there, but also very crowded. Still, a lovely place in the heart of Berlin.

The food was delicious and plentiful. Very friendly staff and quick service.

One of my favorite beer gardens in Berlin

Toll das zarteste Schweineschnitzel das ich je gegessen hab.

Super cozy place. Lovely food, perfect for a beer in the sun

Definitely worth a visit. And be sure to read up on the history of this place, because when is a border supposed to be horizontal between two countries? It's a cool location and a great starting point if you want to head to the stadium from there.

Schöner Biergarten - mit vielen kleinen charmanten Ebenen. Essen wird an den Tisch gebracht, Getränke müssen zwar abgeholt werden, doch der Service ist schnell, sehr nett und gut.

Great beer garden. I always feel comfortable.

Schleusenkrug Berlin: A cozy waterfront restaurant. I had the pleasure of visiting the Schleusenkrug restaurant in Berlin and can say it was a great experience. The restaurant is located right on the waterfront and offers stunning views of the Schleuse lock. The atmosphere is very cozy and inviting, with rustic decor and warm lighting. Drinks are self-service, but unlike other beer gardens, you order your food at the counter, provide your table number, and the food is served at your table. The food is delicious and varied. The menu offers a variety of dishes, from classic German dishes to international specialties. The ingredients are fresh and the preparation is very good. The prices are very reasonable. The quality of the food is very high, and the portions are generous. Overall, the Schleusenkrug restaurant is a great place for anyone looking for a cozy atmosphere and delicious food. The view of the Schleuse lock is really cool, and the service is friendly and attentive. I can only recommend the Schleusenkrug restaurant and look forward to visiting it again.

Nice atmosphere. The seating is pleasant. Highly recommended. 👍

An institution! Always packed (most of the time), friendly and welcoming crowd.

Nice Sunday stop at the park The location for this Biergarten is unbeatable- right in the sun at the park, by the river, surrounded by the trees. Just this factor made us regulars here Food is quite mediocre though. Price-quality ratio is definitely arguable. The portions are big but a bit too salty and quite heavy. Beer on tap is ofc good :)

A very nice beer garden with exceptionally delicious food. We were there with 10 people, and everyone loved the food. Highly recommended!

The light one is really good 👍.

My favorite beer garden in Berlin. Great atmosphere 🥰

Good food, nice atmosphere and friendly service.

Beautiful, typical beer garden. Very simple inside, but always lovely outside in the beer garden when the weather's nice!

Unfortunately, you always pay a corresponding additional bonus in restaurants.... Otherwise, it's very nice to sit outside

Good food in a lovely ambience in the beer garden next to a lock.

Somewhat out of the way but all the better for that. The staff were friendly, welcoming and efficient. The food, currywurst, arrived quickly and was nicely presented with a fresh salad. We visited at lunchtime on a weekday when it was just pleasantly busy.

Great spot to stop for a coffee, beer, or some lunch while exploring the Tiergarten. Hot drinks cost €3-5. Meals €10-€20. A great atmosphere, especially when the sun is out.

Great atmosphere. Worth a visit.

Great beer garden for nice days

Great place, decent prices with a chilled atmosphere.

A really nice beer garden. It's also nice that it's not a huge, open space, but rather has naturally separated "areas." This makes it a bit more cozy and less crowded, even when it's very busy.

I didn’t order food so I can’t say. The beer, I don’t know what it is with German beer but man it’s strong. I can handle my liquor just fine mind you, but the tasty beer here, it’s awesome. You’ll feel real good real fast. There’s plenty of seats but as of this visit, it was on a Tuesday afternoon so I’m sure it’ll be crowded during rush hour. Friendly staff, great beer selection, awesome location next to the water and zoo for the scenery. Got here on foot, there’s no parking lot so plan accordingly.

Beautiful beer garden located directly at the lock. There is Merguez from the grill here, always very tasty 😋

Great German beer garden experience

Beer prices are steep, but the ambience makes up for it. Come again

Impressive food with a view of the water in the middle of Berlin.

Nice beer garden, not much to add. I didn't eat anything but the people I was there with thought it was good!

Great atmosphere and delicious food 😋

An amazing place in the centre of Berlin, near the station Zoologischer Garten, by the water, so big you can get lost in it - yet in the middle of a park, you might think you're in in the forest, and not in the city center of Berlin.

one of my favorite beergardens in berlin, bit touristy but still great vibes. we go here lots

Our favorite place in Berlin, especially when the sun is shining 😉

It is a very nice place with a large terrace and good coffee.

A nice stopping point while wandering around Tiergarten. The food is delicious.

In the book I just started reading, Check Point Charlie by Luca Cozzi, the Italian protagonist Nick La Torre goes to eat with his German ex-girlfriend. For this reason alone I can't wait to go and try it. They also talk about it well in the book I have been living in Berlin for 20 years. I had heard about it, but never been there! Now I have no more excuses....

The food is not bad, but the prices are very expensive for street food. And so, the place is atmospheric👍

Simply nice, beer garden in a pleasant environment. Good for a snack or coffee.

The food is stable for a beer garden. You can sit overlooking the water and if you're lucky, you'll see foxes and beavers walking by

Very nice place, friendly staff! The beer is very good!

Great, centrally located beer garden. Especially in summer, it's wonderful to sit in the countryside, sometimes right by the water. Although there are plenty of spaces, it can get crowded even during the week.

The cozy beer garden with good prices. The food is a little more expensive but rather tasty

Can't judge the food as I was taken aback by the exorbitant prices but the beer from tap was good and the atmosphere nice.

So pleased I found this place. Lovely food at a reasonable price and a relaxed atmosphere. The customer service is great too. I speak zero German, but the staff were so lovely and helpful.

This place is absolute madness. Sitting here is more than a highlight for the whole family, Leo and I were more than satisfied. The range of drinks was more than satisfactory, thank you 🖖

A little old but still nice and inexpensive, delicious food

Cozy; a good place both summer and winter

A very nice beer garden near the Zoo train station. Nice atmosphere and from past experience, nice to visit in summer, especially in the evenings. The food and drinks are beer garden-like, but the staff were on their toes when clearing up and the food is delivered to the table. Always recommended for a visit.

Guinguette atmosphere, very quiet and calm at the water's edge and a stone's throw from the zoo...

Very nice beer garden right on the canal. Very good selection of drinks and food. Friendly and attentive staff. Open from 11:00 a.m. for a lunch excursion. The ambience is also very good, typical beer garden as you would imagine. There is enough space for groups and reservations are also possible. Small point deduction for the toilet facilities due to smell. Thanks to the whole team. Gladly again at any time.

An oasis in the city in beautiful weather

Good fresh food, nice people. Beautiful busy day. It's selfservice but still very nice.

Yes, now in the preseason. Often crowded in summer and queues for self-service. Everything was very clean today!

Great location, unfortunately sometimes very noisy because people are often doing work or cleaning there. Kindl on tap takes a bit of getting used to. Excursion boats in the lock sometimes emit diesel exhaust fumes.

Very generous portions, horseradish was so intense, cranberries were delicious, schnitzel was tasty

Great beer garden with lots of seating and self-service. The food is brought to the table after ordering.

Nice restaurant with nice staff

Wonderful. Stopped at the Schleusenkrug while out for a walk, lured by the apple strudel on the menu, which lived up to its promise. Service friendly to both humans and dogs, the ambiance nostalgic and, as I learned from the menu, historic. I'd love to go again.

Very nice restaurant with a large outdoor area right on the water with a view of a lock. Ideal to rest from the big city, 5 minutes walk from the train station. Very friendly staff. Gladly again.

Damn cool place. Good food, good beer and a super soul. I'll be back.

Really nice outdoor beer garden

Very pleasant mood and atmosphere, good food!

Yes. Near the flea market, nice to sit outside with delicious cakes

A little expensive but very nice

A beautiful place to enjoy after a short walk. Whether in the beer garden or inside, you can chill out with delicious cakes or savory dishes.

Great atmosphere, kind personnel, clean place and good food! We’ve ordered Spinatknödel, Schnitzel Wiener Art and Apple Strudel - big portions and sooo tasty 😃 Also, there are several vegetarian options available. The place is pet friendly! Perfect place to drink a good beer in the park and eat something at lunch 🥳

a wonderful place right in the heart of Berlin - friendly service and already well prepared for the first rays of sunshine of the year

Nice old-school restaurant in a beautiful quiet location near the zoo and Bahnhof Zoo. Friendly service. Delicious homemade apple strudel and coffee.. Worth repeating.

Ideal for a short, quiet break. Always happy again.....

We love being there! The food is delicious and the service is very friendly! A great place to spend with friends. Great beer garden and the dog is allowed too, there are water bowls available

To just have a coffee or mulled wine, like we did, that was good. The cake also tasted very good. This is highly recommended in summer

Friendly cafe with delicious food The café has a very friendly staff and attentive waiters. The food is not only very tasty, but also surprisingly beautifully prepared. The location is ideal – right in the city center, in the immediate vicinity of the zoo and right next to a park. The toilets are clean, which I really appreciate. Everything would be perfect if not for one small minus point: the interior could use a renovation to make it even more cozy and welcoming. Overall, a highly recommended café!

An integral part of Berlin's cosiness, good tasty food, top cakes/pies, good service.

The staff was very friendly, but the food was a bit too salty for my taste. Still, overall a good experience.

A nice restaurant with a small menu...the drinks menu is sufficient and I can say: the coffee is great 👍... The service is very nice and attentive.. Definitely worth a visit

Always a safe place for drinks and food in the middle of the city and in the middle of nature, both in summer and winter

I was there on January 1st, I couldn't enjoy the beer garden but the inside was absolutely warm and welcoming. The view of the Tier Garten is also beautiful. I liked it. Good, genuine food, impeccable service

Great atmosphere, delicious food. I recommend it to anyone who wants to return to the old atmosphere of pubs

It's a really nice location - but I'm always disappointed with the food. The currywurst with potato wedges for over 12 euros...and the potato wedges were cooked very soft and had barely been put in the pan. Better just have a drink here.

Felt at home immediately. The service workers were kinda and spoke great English. Food was incredible, but they do not have togo plates sadly.

Perfect! Simple but very good, served with love ;-)

Good beef soup and apple punch. Friendly service and traditional decor.

We were here in Dec, excellent food, ambience and service. Can only imagine how good it would be on a sunny day in the bier garten.

We had a delicious meal in the best weather and can recommend this gem.

I came there with a larger group of 25 people, was the second person to order pumpkin soup and was the last to receive the order after everyone had almost finished or had already finished eating, even though the order had already been taken at the checkout. Only when I asked again was a lukewarm vegetable soup delivered, which didn't taste particularly good. The food from the others didn't look bad, but definitely not recommended because of the service and unfriendliness!!

When tourists happened to pass by, we stopped in and enjoyed a very good ginger tea with a piece of good cold dog. It's only a few minutes' walk from the Zoo train station, which you should take.

Very friendly and quick staff and recommended as a location when the sun is shining. I haven't been inside yet.

I didn't like the homemade apple strudel at all, and I didn't like the cappuccino either. I can't comment on the other food and drinks. I think the Schleusenkrug is a suitable place to go for a walker in the zoo who wants to take a break, but not to eat delicious food. The location is very good on the Landwehr Canal in the Tiergarten. There are also places outside.

Unfortunately not suitable for a quick coffee outside in the sun, at least if you like French: there are a variety of fatty cakes, but no croissant, no cinnamon roll, nothing at all. Poor performance these days.

Really nice beer garden, great service and delicious food. We were there in the afternoon. The tarte flambée was super good!

..nice restaurant and nice staff, ideal for an after-work beer....

Tasty and great location next to the zoo. Playground for the kids

Regardless of whether it's on the terrace or inside, it's great

Great location, beautiful, rustic, a great tip I got. Definitely recommended. Didn't wait long for food. Great - keep it up
