The Pub in Berlin

Möpse Drinking Beer (The Pub) is a cool, rustic pub in the S-Bahn arch near Alexanderplatz... It's right in the middle between Alexanderplatz and Hackescher Markt... There's a gas pump with four beer taps on every table... Very tasty food and beer for yourself Spigot… Friendly, competent staff… We have been coming to this pub for years now, as is tradition… Recommended with reservations…

The ambient is really nice. I highly recommend

Everything is great here ❤️ Service friendly and helpful, concept is great 🔋☑️

The waiter took our money because he didn't have change. To which he replied: "that's a tip." Let him laugh a little more or his jaw will drop with sympathy! Excellent beer.

Very tasty food and generous portions, but also for a hefty price - hence a star deduction. Nice staff, ouzo on the house, cold beer. Ambience a bit kitschy, but that's a matter of taste.

You can tap your own beer from the table's own tap and the amount of beer tapped at each table is displayed on the monitor above the entrance. It definitely has a certain fun factor. It will then be credited at the end. Other drinks and food are ordered via a control terminal. Unfortunately, the currywurst was only average and the more than 10 euros are very ambitious. Fishburger was ok. Staff was super friendly.

Super friendly staff, they were patient and explained everything well, so over all great service, the atmosphere was fun, it was buzzing with all the people having a great time! We ordered cheese burgers, the pub burger and some drinks, food was really good, and i would reccommend everyone to try this place out! We didnt try out the tap sadly, but everyone else seemed to really enjoy it!

Good service, nice and chilled but still a nice atmosphere. Food was good too. Beer was hard to pull without it being so frothy, but it got slightly easier over time. Nice decor. Had fun. ALSO: You need to book in advance. Not sure why though as we tried to get in the day before as soon as they opened and they couldn’t fit us in despite there being plenty of space. We then booked it the next day to get a table as soon as it opened. We saw them turn people away like we had the night before. I’m guessing people book for free then just don’t turn up? Doesn’t really make sense for business as they’re turning people away. Also, they don’t know how long you’ll be there for. Just worth noting.

Very rude bar man. Won't be back.

The staff are not welcoming and don’t seem to want to serve drinks. The place is listed as open until 2 am but a party of 2 for drinks was rudely turned away at 11:21 pm. Needless to say we are not Berliners which likely explains our poor treatment. Not worth a trip. Avoid at all costs.

The principle of this bar/restaurant is very simple: you eat classics (eg burger) and compete with your table companions over drinks. In the middle of the tables you will find four beer pumps and a screen which allows you to select which guests are serving themselves. On the same screen, we can therefore follow the competition between the members of the table through the quantities of beer served. Above the entrance to the restaurant, there is another screen which reports the competition between the tables and even with other restaurants of the same brand.

I didn't eat, but above all the service and the ambience were unique. The atmosphere under the tables was really cool. You were shown how to tap correctly and anyone who can't do it yet should definitely take advantage of it. The prices are pretty reasonable, so if you just want to drink beer there are cheaper alternatives. But this ambience is really unique, so you can definitely plan for it.

Unfortunately not recommended even on the second attempt. It would actually be a very nice idea if the screens were on and basically implemented quite well, but if the staff is so rude and unfriendly, it's just no fun. The first time I thought, “caught on the wrong foot.” Unfortunately, that seems to be normal. Apparently there are enough tourists who won't come back anyway. Too bad... Edit: Very disappointing that a lawyer is trying to remove this review! I would recommend sticking to it and using it as an incentive to improve...

In fact, the concept of tapping beer at the table is a good idea. However, the beer was stale and it was too loud

I don't think their burgers are any good. Too much lettuce (not shredded) and the patty slides right out when you bite it. Too little lettuce and the bun disintegrates. The Pub fell into the too much lettuce bucket.

I was there on a Saturday night, I was treated very badly. The place was less than half full, they have put me in the corner of the bar, were it was the most hidden place, though the balcony was empty. I speak a little bit of German, so I ordered in English as I was temporarily in Berlin for a business trip. They talked bad things about me among each other in my face (in German). Never ever going back. Don't recomend at all. Besides that, the beer and the ambient are nice.

Place empty, refuse us to buy food or drinks. We had been walking all day & just needed a meal. Found someplace else but noticed the Pub Betlin stayed empty. Weird

Super nice service! Always my pleasure

Looks like a good pub, but unfortunately they said that we are from Poland and we can't drink here, we ask for a beer but she told us that we can drink only outside (was raining), we refused to drink outside so she pour out beers.. really didn't expect this in Europe

We wanted to go in for a beer, but we were discriminated against for talking in a language other than German, so we were judged to be too drunk, which was completely wrong, I do not recommend this place

Nice food and tapping your own beer is great! Hardly any carbon dioxide in the beer and extremely annoying touchscreens reduce the enjoyment...

Very scenic and in a picturesque location. Cozy with real fire. Outside seating overlooking the river. Lots of stupendous flower baskets. River trips available. Covered outside seating also available. Friendly staff. We had lunch and it was nice fresh seeming. I did think that one main dish, a very shallow 6 or 7 inch diameter vegetable tart with watercress and shallot salad (which turned out to be a small amount of watercress and a small amount of shallot just on the plate with the tart - not a prepared salad with watercress and shallot being elements of the 'salad') represented particularly poor value at 14 pounds. We shared a portion of Triple fried chips at 4 pounds, only 358 calories so we definitely didn't have too many of those either! The sort that are served vertically in a little stainless cup.

Fantastic service from Sam brilliant bar staff, could use training on how to pour a Guinness she couldn’t shamrock hearts in the foam🥲 but other than that 5/5. Great pub with friendly atmosphere. Recommend trying the Berliner luft. Great pub lovely staff.

Very original pub, with beer dispenser at every table! Must try!

Ottima location, originale perché tu spini la birra e paghi per quanto bevi. Cibo ottimo e cameriere molto simpatico e preciso. Da provare

Very nice staff, beer also delicious, could be colder in the 32° summer ;) but it's fine!

Our tap just output a lot of foam. When we asked for help the server just drew more foam (which was added to our tab) and said that it worked now. It didn't. Tried to get help for an hour then gave up. Only redeeming thing is that we didn't have to pay once I showed the one taking our payment that our tap didn't work, so it was only a waste of time

Trovato per caso passeggiando per Alexanderplatz, ci ha incuriosito e siamo entrati. È possibile mangiare solo all'interno, ordinando con dei tablet non molto funzionali. Il cibo è complessivamente buono e il locale pulito ma la pecca è il personale! Se siete dei turisti (e specialmente se non parlate tedesco) vi ritroverete davanti uno staff particolarmente distaccato e scontroso, complice anche il fatto che le interazioni sono ridotte al minimo e di conseguenza le poche volte che venivano chiamati risultavano scocciati (parlare di allergie e minimi cambiamenti sembra quasi un colpa).

Nice place, excellent chicken salad, plentiful and varied. Informal and friendly staff. The ordering method is a bit cumbersome. Unfortunately the second time we went there the chicken salad was not available...sigh. Advised

Really nice evening out, food was good and the self-serve beer is nice but expensive. Great atmosphere and good staff makes it worth a visit. It was roasting while I was there, air con not doing much to make it colder!

As a beer lover, and frequently visitor of the franchise in the past (mainly in Czechia) I had the expectations high. Here I did not found the same vibe as the other “Pubs”. The beer is expensive (even for German standards), it is not Pilsner Urquell as one could expect (even though it tastes suspiciously similar) and considering you are taping your own beer, it can quickly get out of hand if you are not careful. The food options are mostly limited to hamburgers, and a few other “beer food” options, but the food was well served. The service was ok, considering that they only give you the intro when you arrive and bring the food you order on the screen.

I don't remember this part of the night. However, the footage suggests it was good.

Very good atmosphere and super nice service. Ordering via the monitor also worked very well.

Very nice place, nice idea of ​​the beer tap at the table, without bothering the staff for the beers. If you go to Berlin, stop by

Great place, unique experience Friendly waiters, helpful and polite. The tab on the table is a unique experience. Try it out

Place looked promising. Super cool idea with taps at the table but they only offer one beer-Pils. And the waiter was super rude and not at all helpful when trying to order a different beer. He actually rolled his eyes when I asked him politely if they offered other beers and how to go about ordering them. Would not recommend this place. There are many other friendlier beer gardens to choose from.

highly recommended, delicous fresh food (even selfmade). and the fresh beer straight from the table tap? amazing and unique spot in berlin 😁 i like the sweetpotato fries btw!

I had expected more from the concept. Unfortunately, there is also a very bad indoor climate.

10/10 for my familia from Australia ($10 beers, pretty standard), beers are cheap food is great berlin mob are beautiful too !! Highly recommend!! English great! Don't be rude to them please they're a great!!Gian, charming and Mariyam!! Please please please be nice they will fix you up!!

It was very empty when we went it, but it may have been earlier than normal for dinner. The staff were attentive informative and the food was great. Kind of confusing touchscreen ordering but it all worked out. Food was outstanding.

Amazing pilsner and a unique athmosphere. Beer on demand with taps integrated into tables is available.

Amazing beer and burger (careful, the burger is huge). Friendly staff.

The pub is racist and refused us entry because we’re Asian although the pub is completely empty. They made us wait at the door for 10 minute before approaching extremely rude.

They played JUICE WRLD here and had good rlly music/vibes (I luv JUICE WRLD). *I need 100 characters for this review so ignore this part*

The menu said ananas saft was 3.5 euros, so I ordered it, but I was surprised to see it cost 7 euros..🥹 I may have read it wrong, but the price difference is big. Still, I enjoyed the soccer game and the staff were friendly.

Check your receipts. I didn't look at the venue and later split the bill between friends. Found that the venue charged for drinks we did not receive. We only drank from the tap but later found €30 of other drinks ordered at the bar. We didn't order these. I like the venue, but honestly, there are better places to drink and enjoy in Berlin.

Frisches Berliner Bier zum Selberzapfen. Jeder Tisch hat 4 Bierhähne und man kann auf der digitalen Anzeige bis zu 10 Benutzerkonten anlegen, die dann auch einzeln abgerechnet werden können. Man bezahlt nur das, was man verbraucht. Dazu gibt es leckere Burger und andere Köstlichkeiten und man kann noch andere Getränke beim Kellner bestellen. Das Personal ist zuvorkommend und der Laden verrückt ausgestaltet mit vielen Mops-Motiven, Wir hatten zu sechst einen Tisch reserviert und einen wunderbaren Abend. Eine wirklich tolle Erfahrung!

Although the finger foods were fine, the food was terrible. It's fun to try but don't order any food.

Honestly a very disappointing experience. I was excited since the Pub gets good reviews. Relatively cool interior. The food took forever to come, ordering was complicated, once the food did come it was COLD. Very expensive (20 for a burger and fries. It was cool that there was a tap at the table for beer to use, but the tap constantly dripped and I had to ask the waitress to take the .2L off the tab since we didn’t drink at all during dinner. Don’t come here if you want good food, hot food, or a good deal.

Delicious burgers and the prices are right too.

They didn’t have our reservation and argued (quite rudely) about it but gave us a table anyway. It wasn’t particularly busy but we waited almost an hour for the food and it was cold when it arrived. They then forgot to bring the bill. Food tasted ok and one of the waiters was lovely but it’s not an experience I’m likely to repeat. It’s a shame because I was really looking forward to it.

Beer is warm and with lots of foam. Staff is rude if you don't have a reservation, even if you are late and the bar is empty. So much technology to order something and you still cannot pay by card. Kitchen closes very early, no food.

Decent food, very slow service and rude staff and above all very very expensive, a hamburger more than twenty euros!

This is a nice place ans every table has a tap that you can use. The only downside is that every table has the same beer ans the tab ain't the same as the ones in the regular bars.

Were here to watch football, big screens. You order via a display directly at the table. Burgers and fries were delicious

Ambience was nice, unfortunately you were ripped off and when the problem was clarified they just said that the tables were calibrated and that it wasn't possible for you to be wrong. It was a shame. Be careful and take pictures of the tapped quantity!!!!

Super nice! Totally cool that you can tap your own beer at the table.

The ambience was very nice, and so was the mood. What really annoyed us, however, was the payment process. On the bill we were asked to pay 3.3l more than what we had withdrawn and what was at our table. 8.4 liters were created from 5.1 liters. When trying to clarify this problem, people were blocked and bullied. A pub on Alexanderplatz, after this action, sounds like a tourist rip-off.

There's only a single beer on tap at the table and it's a pilsner, and neither of us were fans of this beer. The taps were not working well, and poured lots of foam. You can see in the attached photos how badly the pints came out. The touch screen of the order tablet was not very responsive. We ordered hamburgers and they were really good, especially the Olymp Burger, but the patties were overcooked. The staff was kind enough to let us store our luggage at the restaurant during our visit, as we arrived right after our flight to Berlin.

The beer was OK. Unfortunately there is only one type of beer on tap. Apple strudel with strawberry sauce was not the best.

Cool concept! Were received very nicely. Clean shop with a cool atmosphere. I can't judge the food because I didn't eat anything except beer ;-)

(November 2023) Terribly rude and blatantly racist…wouldn’t recommend to any person of colour! First guy that attended to us, when asked, agreed we couldn’t get a seat because we were black while the second agreed to being a racist and that there’s nothing we could do about it! (Update April 2024) They tried to get this review deleted by raising issues to Google with a lot of legal jargon and falsified information. Do better in your service and you wouldn’t have to go back trying to delete negative reviews falsely.

Delicious burgers, nice ambience and a nice selection of drinks.

We reserved for 18 people but when we got there they sent us home. The reason for this is for us unknown. They were very unfriendly. The boss would'nt cooperate either.

We reservated days before, we came there and they said there was No place. The owner even didn’t want to talk to us. Very sad because we looked forward to this

This pub does not want to cash anything, we had made a reservation for 14 people, we arrive there and it turns out that we are not allowed in, I think it is a great shame that this is happening.

Tried getting in when it was empty and was rudely just turned away with no explanation. The bartender with dreads is a fragile man

Great little venue, the beer tap is a novelty idea, but we found ours to be quite slow. Other than that it was pretty good!

Yesterday, four of us visited this pub and unfortunately experienced an overcharge. After we paid, I noticed an extra non-alcoholic beer, nachos, and an onion ring snack on our bill—items we didn’t order. When we raised this issue post-payment, the staff insisted nothing could be canceled and claimed we were confused, stating all orders are sent automatically from their system. We ended up paying around 30 euros more than we should have. Please be cautious, as it seems they take advantage of the fact that patrons might not be as attentive after a few drinks. On another note, the bacon cheeseburger was disappointing; the bun was almost rock-hard. However, the experience with private taps and the table competitions was quite unique and enjoyable.

Great pub with a special flair - highly recommended 😊

The Pub is truly a discovery. The shop is rustic but cozy. Both outdoors and indoors. The price level is absolutely fair for the Alexanderplatz/Hackescher Markt area. Of course, the best thing is the tap at the table (Beriner Pilsner). The interior design (pug pictures, etc.) is also harmonious and makes the stay pleasant.

Review has been deleted. On November 4th, 2023 we were refused service in the pub. A rude, condescending and blatantly racist waiter claimed the pub was fully booked even though it was half empty. And apparently this isn't the first time something like this has happened.

Were there on Easter Sunday evening... unfortunately closed too early... because there was nothing going on 😔

For a cozy atmosphere. Good location. Dispenser directly at the table. Food should also be good.

I really liked it, delicious beer, it was fun.

Cool location with its own tap at the table.

Really cool place. Staff were cool and food was nice! There is a lot of love for curry sauce in the burger from what i have noticed. 😅

All in all good. You can tap beer yourself at the table, and ordering is easy and hassle-free via the screen at the table. Food is okay too.

We did face some reservation issues as we had booked weeks in advance and received the confirmation, but the reservation was missing from their system. We were seated 2 hours after our reservation but the food and service made up for the delay. The beer on tap at individual tables was a fun experience. A definite must-try :)

This place can be an enigma at times. Bear in mind,it's called The Pub, however sometimes getting in to have a drink is a joke. On my last visit, I went in early and had to explain that I wanted to sit at the bar and just have a couple of beers, you know, like a normal pub. I felt ridiculous having to explain myself. The place was almost empty and I could not believe the amount of people getting turned away at the door. Either let people in to use the taps without a reservation or get rid of the taps. Offer something else like good service and good food. Build a good reputation being a "pub" in a tourist area. Much more trade to be had that way as opposed to turning g people away.

We were a group of 6 people and they didn’t let us in in two different nights

Not recommended for eating burgers Fries: 4/5 - good crispy, amount of medium Burger: 2/5 (cheese and bacon) bun a bit dry, patty was frozen patty, and curry sauce on it?!, also a lot of salad Price performance: 1/5, burger with fries approx. 21€

Perfect..great friendly service...delicious cocktails 🍸...great atmosphere

There was enough beer, the company was average, so a fully qualified bar experience 5/5

One of the worst experiences ever!!!! DONT GO THERE IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A GOOD TIME!!!!!!! Where can I start? 1. Personal: THE WORST OF THE WORST! I have never felt so bad anywhere else. We were a group of 4 and had a reservation but it was said that we could not seat on the table I reserved because the tablet to order food and drinks was broken. After some minutes, the blonde waiter put a couple on our table and started explaining how the system works (by the way, they were sitting really close to us and the waiter didn't even care to explain). I tried talking to him but he was just rude and said that miraculously the system is now working. Didn't mind at all after lying to our faces! 2. The system to clean the glasses were somehow broken and when our table was cleaning our glasses, another table was just full of water. Somehow the pipes are connected and it was just horrible. Thank God the ppl on the other table were nice. 3. When we wanted to pay and finally leave the blond waiter just said that we could not pay separately. This is the first time I hear that. And he didn't care to explain, was just rude and once I asked for the manager he said in a very rude way "you can talk to me, I am the manager". He was loud, rude and made everyone uncomfortable. This os just unacceptable!!! We paid and left and will never ever come back! I just hope that the owner of the place can hire better waiters because in this case this guy just made one of the most horrible experiences in a bar. I was there on 05.03.2024 around 18:00.

Were sent away at 11 p.m. even though it's supposed to be open until 2 a.m

I didn't like it at all, we weren't served anymore even though the shop was open. Good night, if that's how service works.

The best pub in Berlin, I felt really comfortable with Tom, greetings ;] Very cool concept, can only be recommended ^^

The best pub in Berlin! Great ambience, great atmosphere and the staff is great! See you soon!

First time in Berlin and randomly chose the best bar. I'm moving to BERLIN.

Super nice shop, the staff is great. Especially Tom :D I'll see you again tomorrow

Bad service! We reserved a table and it was given to other people in front of us The staff ignored us and treated us badly So in Berlin there are better things than here! NOT RECOMMENDED!

Service doesn’t deserve even one star! Very problematic and unfriendly service. They couldn’t solve the problem with beer tap which spread the water around. What’s more the guy yelled at me when I was leaving that I did not pay the bill xD while I paid 2 minutes earlier.

Rude staff they didn’t even give us 30min for one beer… we even asked to sit outside they said we can’t cos they not doing it and people was sitting outside… discrimination…

Great idea, need one in the UK! Staff were great also.

Food was granted to everyone except us, there is a lie that the kitchen closes at 10 p.m. and other guests still get food at 11 p.m.

Very loud, lots of tourists tapping beer and shouting at the table. You have to like it.

Simply great! Great service and cool atmosphere

The waiter who served us, having understood that we are Italian, put on the Geolier playlist. Subsequently – very surprised, we immediately turned towards him – in the distance he looked at us smiling and began to shake his head to dance. Truly great

Nice pub with a beer tap at the table!
