Wilhelm Hoeck 1892 in Berlin

Typical german food in a typical german place. The owner was very friendly and easygoing. Highly recommended

Nice service... Good beer... Open until 1 a.m.

Excellent food and drinks. Friendly service.

Nice atmosphere. Really friendly staff. Great food.

A real Berlin pub with lots of style!

Lovely food 🥘 and the staff is super kind 🥰

Really cool 😎 pub. ... great, cozy, rustic atmosphere. The service is great and very friendly with that Berlin charm 🔝 . .. we were only in the pub for a drink, but our glasses were always refilled very quickly... that's how service works... I didn't go hungry for a minute. My dear, please keep it up. As soon as I'm back in Berlin, I'll definitely come by. Best, Michael

We were looking for a "quaint" restaurant in the capital and found Wilhelm Hoeck 1892. The service was very straightforward and friendly, and we felt very well looked after. I rarely, if ever, drink beer, but the service was convincing and the food was delicious :D The food was also very good. We'll definitely go there again next time we visit Berlin ;)

Traditional Berliner Kitchen.Highly recommended!

I have really enjoyed this place in the past, it’s a special bar with its historic interior. But sadly the last time we went, the bar lady was very rude, mildly racist (under the guise of humour), and overly asked for a 20% tip, from a number of people in our group, Shameful.

Hassling our group for a tip. Not nice.

A quaint Berlin pub. Typical Berlin staff...with a sense of humor and a heart. Delicious food at reasonable prices. And the schnapps rounded it all off. It was a great evening. Thanks to Olli and Gamze. We'd love to come back.

Delicious food in a rustic atmosphere with a typical Berlin waiter.. Olli 🤣 highly recommended.

As promised, a rustic inn. The food was delicious, and Olli created a great atmosphere. Judith

We fell in love with Olli. Not only is she a true Berliner, but she's also a sales talent! She doesn't just ask if you want a beer, she asks if you want a large beer. The answer to that is definitely yes. That's how it should be! Great shop 💕

Absolutely amazing! One of the tastiest aspics I've ever eaten. And the service was incredibly friendly. Highly recommended.

If you want to enjoy delicious food in a rustic atmosphere, this is the place for you! We've been back and weren't disappointed. The service is incredibly friendly, attentive, and very authentic! We felt very comfortable!

West Berlin is so beautiful there. 🤷🥰

We were at this restaurant again today after a long time. My cabbage roll with terrible Maggi sauce was supposed to cost 11.90 euros. The price was written on a board outside the door, but my bill came to 16.50 euros. Unfortunately, I only noticed it when I got home. So beware of the staff. We're Berliners and think, 'It's a shame what strangers think of our food.' It used to be good there, but now it's our last visit.

An old Berlin pub with a great atmosphere and service that's full of heart and soul. The beer is delicious, and there's a huge selection of "Schnäpperken" (small snacks) that will make everyone happy. We had a variety of dishes, all of which were good. My schnitzel, however, was dry, and the fried potatoes were too greasy. The fried egg was fresh two hours ago; I hope that'll be different next time, otherwise I'll help the chef make a fresh fried egg. It's really easy...

Overall, OK! Service was friendly, open, and fun. The atmosphere was cool. Food: OK, the fries were salty, the Wiener Schnitzel was OK, and it came with a dry lemon 🍋 (photo). That wasn't OK.

De må have fået ny kok, siden jeg var her sidst. Absolut smags og kønsløs.

A quaint pub with delicious food. The service is attentive and friendly. We'd love to go back.

Super, super, super! I've rarely had such a great evening as today. The lady who serves and works at the bar does a fantastic job. She's the HEART of the whole place. She pours with so much love and always brings a cool vibe to the guests. The food is served very quickly. I travel a lot, but this restaurant is a miracle in the otherwise rather unfriendly Berlin scene. I hope to be able to go back there soon and hope the very, very nice lady is still there and hasn't been poached by another restaurant. Thank you again, it was a lot of fun. Best wishes.

My husband and I are in our early 60s. You immediately feel "in good hands/at ease." Very warm, friendly, caring, and fast service, even during busy, busy times. The food is really good, with a great selection, including "home-style" fare—just a little different! Highly recommended.

The food and atmosphere were good. Unfortunately, the service was extremely rude and unfriendly!

Great food 👍🏻 A rustic atmosphere and really quick service 😉👍🏻 Highly recommended 👍🏻

I can recommend the place. It's just that the surroundings aren't that great.

A perfect atmosphere with incredible service, I will definitely return on my next trip to Berlin.

We happened upon this pub two days ago purely by chance and were absolutely thrilled. Excellent, straightforward, handcrafted German cuisine and an incredibly beautiful, nostalgic, authentic atmosphere in this part of town that was almost completely destroyed during the war. The service was also truly delightful. If we're ever in the area again, we'll definitely come back.

A beautiful location. The food was excellent. There are many small details everywhere. The waitress and owner are very friendly and have a very funny Berlin sense of humor. It's very pleasant, and I would eat and drink there again and again. The price/performance ratio is very good.

I had a simple question about the drinks menu, and the friendly and courteous employee at the tap truly went the extra mile to provide me with the information I requested. She truly embraced the service philosophy, remaining exceedingly friendly even under the most stressful circumstances. I felt completely understood and my simple question, and I'm sure I'll be coming here often. 😜😆🥴😉

Great, rustic ambience, the service is classic "Berlin style." We'll be back.

Good German food, friendly Berlin service. Highly recommended.

Good Traditional food ! Shame I am not around for longer for more visits. The Bar Lady / Server was very jolly and welcoming ! Tschuss for now !

I've been there twice with my wife. It's a matter of opinion how everyone perceives it. I don't remember the old days. And we were very satisfied. The food is great, the service is superb, the atmosphere is really pleasant, and Olli is a great person. We think you're great. We'll definitely be back. Best wishes, Jan & Mandy

My son and I had arranged to meet for dinner and didn't want to go to the pizzeria around the corner, as usual. I had seen a program on RBB about restaurants in Berlin a while ago. I liked the report about Wilhelm Hoeck in 1892, so we decided to go there. And we both loved it. The super-nice Kiki showed us to our reserved table, and we immediately felt at home. The food was delicious and plentiful. We will definitely come back. Thank you, Kiki, for the wonderful hospitality. 😊

Mein Sohn und ich hatten uns zum Essen verabredet und wollten nicht, wie immer, in die Pizzeria um die Ecke gehen. Ich hatte vor einiger Zeit im RBB eine Sendung über Restaurants in Berlin gesehen. Der Beitrag über Wilhelm Hoeck 1892 hat mir gut gefallen und so haben wir uns entschieden, dort essen zu gehen. Und wir fanden es beide toll. Die super nette Kiki hat uns zu unserem reservierten Tisch gebracht und wir fühlten uns sofort wohl. Das Essen war sehr lecker und reichlich. Wir werden auf jeden wieder kommen. Danke Kiki für die wunderbare Bewirtung 😊

Place and foods are great. You should definetely check the meal menu and prices are quite good when comparing with central berlin

Great restaurant, delicious German home cooking, and great, friendly service. I'd love to come back.

always happy to be here - in the oldest pub in Charlottenburg

Food was not so good and the waiter was too forceful. I was not satisfied with the service but she pressured me to give her tips anyway and lectured me in front of everyone else.

Very tasty local food at fair prices.

The haksen and schnitzel are delicious. The waiter is very friendly and nice. The dark draft beer is the best.

Friendly service, one meal of eight was barely edible (tough meat and excessively hot sauce), price still reasonable

We were there for dinner today. Excellent service, only one star less, one meal was too cold.

If you want to expirence german food it is right place

A wonderful authentic warm pub in Charlottenburg. The service and kindness is top notch.

If you're looking for German cuisine in a pleasant atmosphere, this is the place to be. The menu offers many classics, and the ambiance makes it taste even better. The service was very fast and good. A reservation is definitely recommended, as many people know that the food here is good.

I only drank a cola but the place is cool :) inside like a hundred years ago, interesting atmosphere :)

If you're looking for a pub that transports you back to the 19th or 20th century, this is the place for you. It's also friendly and not overpriced. Top!

Really cool place if you want to experience the charm of a bar/pub from bygone times. The furnishings are accordingly and you shouldn't expect soft upholstery or flawless furniture. The food we ordered came very quickly and we all enjoyed it, but it wasn't anything out of the ordinary. I can recommend the tarte flambée. There are vegetarian dishes, but the choice is limited. In general it is German home cooking (roulades, steak, brawn, tarte flambée, schnitzel and the like). We were there at lunchtime, so at other times and when the house is full it may take longer. The price was also completely reasonable! The service also suited the restaurant thanks to the “Berlin snout” and could have made it a very good rating. My BUT what also stopped me from going there again and recommending it to others was the service. I also worked as a waitress and know that the job can be strenuous. Nevertheless, you have to behave accordingly towards your guests. When we arrived, the coffee machine was not being cleaned as scheduled, so coffee could not be made. It's a stupid situation and of course very unpleasant as a waitress (who worked alone), but I don't think you have to communicate your frustration and anger loudly through the restaurant. As a guest, you usually understand when the situation is explained to you calmly. When we arrived it took a while until we were served, but given the circumstances we heard, that wasn't a big deal. However, before that came the first condescending comment, which was quite obviously aimed at us, even if it wasn't said directly to us. "You can also say hello when you come in!" - of course we said hello, but if you complain loudly about the coffee machine you won't hear it... I was about to leave... In general, the operation seemed very scattered and overworked. Has mentioned several times that she has been doing 15-hour shifts for the last 3 days (due to illness, among other things). Of course this is physical and psychological. When serving/placing the order, she apologized, explained the situation calmly and was generally friendly. The food was served quickly and everything was fine. Then we wanted/did pay and rounded it up to an even amount, so we gave a tip. Of course, you can argue about how much tipping is appropriate, but for me personally it was clear after the comment at the beginning that I wouldn't have tipped. There is no obligation to tip and it wasn't even 5 cents, so I think you can't and shouldn't complain about what every guest is willing to give. Either you simply don't accept it or you let your anger/frustration out afterwards where the guests don't notice. In any case, the waitress was upset that the tip was so “small” (remember the comment at the beginning) - but only accepted the tip. The waitress also looked at the rest of us and expected/encouraged us to give a tip. When we went out, another guest probably told the waitress that she didn't have to accept the tip. Since we had smokers with us, we stood in front of the restaurant for a moment and then the waitress actually came running back to give us the tip back... In general, the waitress was very friendly and would stroke our guests' arms or take our hands, which I personally don't like at all with strangers. Although it was meant kindly, it wasn't appropriate in my opinion! I won't eat or drink there again! It's a shame for the actually cool place and good food.

Very good German food and great service with a big Berlin snout and an even bigger heart

Atmospheric place with a real retro vibe. nice service, good food, decor and atmosphere, what more could you want?

Die Zeiten, in denen man in eine Kneipe geht und an einem freien Tisch Platz nimmt, sind im Hoeck leider vorbei. Wir wurden sofort aufgescheucht, als wir an einem winzigen Tisch zu zweit Platz nehmen wollten. Dies sei ein Mehrpersonentisch, an den wir uns nicht zu zweit setzen könnten. Wir dachten, dass man sich in einer Kneipe auch mal dazusetzt. Man hat sich im Hoeck offensichtlich auf Massenabfertigung in Form von Touristengruppen eingestellt. Kiezbewohner stören. Schade.

Very interesting service was really good

It was great, we came unannounced shortly before closing time with a large group of 30 people. We were served in a friendly manner and the chef conjured up everything we wanted on the table in a short time. Plus everything at reasonable prices. 10 stars plus

I've been to the restaurant several times. Actually the food is quite okay. But this time I had worse experiences. The steak was okay, but the fries were a bit soggy and the vegetables that came with it had probably been left on the stove overnight. Let's see, maybe it will be better next time.

Excellent Food and service ! Thank you Vanessa !

I can only recommend this place

They don’t accept card payment below 20€ and they directly ask for a tip…

Nice quaint pub. Price performance of the food was right. The service staff was very overwhelmed by the number of guests, but was always friendly in their manner. When the tip didn't meet her expectations, she was astonished! Patty and goodbye to friendliness! It got to the point where she spoke negatively about her to me in front of the person who invited us. Really a disgrace, disrespectful and more than unprofessional. Absolutely not a nice feeling that makes you want to come back.

The food was very tasty and the price was also very reasonable. Nice old Berlin pub where someone played the piano after around 9 p.m.! An older gentleman, without grades, everything from his head! Super!!!!

Already on my first visit I noticed that the atmosphere here is completely different than in other German restaurants - much more comfortable, almost like a little journey back in time. The pork steak was so delicious that I came back today with a friend to eat it again. The friendly waitress, the delicious food and the beautiful weather made our experience perfect. We particularly liked the slightly burnt vegetables and potatoes - they had a delicate, sweet note and rounded off the dish wonderfully.

We discovered this pub completely by chance on our visit to Berlin and would like to recommend it to others. Great atmosphere with hearty food. A big compliment to dear Olli. She was very attentive and accommodating. There was also free live music on the piano. What more could you want?

Eine ehrwürdige Kneipe, in der ich eine kurzweilige Zeit verbringen konnte. Es wird hier gepichelt und die Menschen haben Freude daran. Einfach eine richtig gute Kneipe, ohne Schnickschnack, und das seit mehr als 100 Jahren. Das Highlight war für mich der betagte Klavierspieler. Er spielte auswendig und locker sein Repertoire und man könnte meinen, dass er zum Inventar gehört. Es gab Applaus für seine Einlagen.

Original Berlin restaurant with an exciting history and a very special ambience. The warm landlady with her Berlin snout makes a special contribution to this. The food is also excellent.

Beautiful old bar, cosy atmosphere with good food for normal prices. Amazing staff. I love to go there !!

Traditional restaurant with a lot of old Berlin atmosphere. Good food and nice staff.

We were just passing through and had dinner here. The food (we had chicken schnitzel and veal schnitzel) was absolutely top. Good breading, pleasant thickness, not burnt. The sauce was served separately. Both my fries and my partner's fried potatoes were very good. The apple strudel with vanilla ice cream that followed was also great. Service was friendly, but a bit stressful at times. Another waitress could complement the crowded place. The price is also absolutely right. But if you can't handle a slightly increased volume, this isn't the right choice for you. It didn't bother us. Overall, it was definitely a nice evening and a clear recommendation for schnitzel lovers.

We were there as a large group on Monday. Both rooms were full of people and yet we were repeatedly asked whether we had any further wishes. This was also well addressed. Would love to come back.

A great evening. Eat deliciously. A wonderful, lovely service 🫶

Great cosy place. We went on a Saturday for lunch with 2 small kids. Service was great, and really kids friendly, not common in Berlin. Wiener Schnitzel was perfect!

A very interesting pub. Good menu and good food at acceptable prices. The staff was a bit understaffed but tried very hard and we were able to spend two lovely evenings. Unfortunately, the residents are a disaster and complain about the noise. So if I live near a pub I should accept that the people in the pub want to have fun and the owner makes a living from the people there having fun.

Was there with a friend, the older lady (waiter) was extremely unfriendly, not only to us, but also to other guests. We obviously didn't tip enough, because there wasn't even a thank you or a farewell = not recommended!

It's a shame I live in Friedrichshain and not around the corner. This would be my local bar, but not because of the really delicious beer or the rustic decor, no, but because of Olli. Olli is the best bartender in the world—and I've experienced a lot—friendly, funny, super personable, and with her heart in the right place. We had such a pleasant and entertaining evening with her. It was simply a lot of fun. Thank you so much. Toda raba. Sarah, my colleague (Leo rising 😄), was also great. Wow, what an evening. I'd love to come back. להתראות ✌🏼

Yesterday before the cultural highlight here Stopped in and had a rustic experience. Here you can eat in the second oldest restaurant historical flair can be breathed. Historical ambience, rustic delicious The food and the Berlin warmth of the service - it was a great stop. There was no way around it as a punch line the bill from 50.50 to exactly 55.55 round up. Thank you for the lovely experience. The Mommert family from Rostock

What a wonderful pub!! Authentic, rustic, great service and very good food. Dear Olli, thank you for the lovely evening. We'll be back! The Adams Family

An extraordinary place with good food. Exceptional because of the authentic facilities with authentic traditional food (Berlin-German with absolutely no chic, but beautifully presented - the pork knuckle was awesome!) at acceptable prices and with excellent portion sizes. Only the potato soup was a bit overpriced compared to the price of the main course and might be too spicy for some people, but I found it absolutely delicious! In "Wilhelm Hoeck" you can definitely be louder, or you have to live with a certain exuberant volume. Larger groups can accommodate here, but should reserve. The service is...well, how do I put it? .."authentic"...?🤷🏽‍♂️ You should be able to tolerate - for a while - VERY harsh Berlin-style warmth. You can say that Max, our waitress, who professionally managed the restaurant area on his own(!), managed (almost) always to sense exactly the moment when the "Berliner Schnauze" threatened to overshoot the mark and a pinch of charm was also called for. But it's probably just part of the Berlin "folklore" that you order here. Guests should therefore be aware that it is not a bad idea to have a thicker skin and a bit of charming self-confidence in order to win over the waitress. But to be honest, anyone who goes to a really (!) Old Berlin restaurant simply MUST be able to live and deal with this expression of lifestyle, otherwise there are plenty of other options for going out. We couldn't have chosen a better place for our day, with an evening visit to the Admiral's Palace on the theme of "Babylon Berlin", and Max, with his manner, was able to amuse and engage the group. Thanks for that! We sat in the "Restauration", the taproom, the "Destille" next door, has a special charm and was also well attended by regulars. You can certainly still go for a lift in a traditional but not too dusty environment. 😋

You can't really give it a star. Today, as so often, we went after the football. Invited thirteen football fans. But they came a bit later. We ordered beer and ate our leftovers from the stadium with it. The waiter came straight away. We had been seen on camera eating our own food and were asked to please leave. When we asked that our friends who were coming soon to eat and drink here, no relenting took place. The manager doesn't want that. We come here often. The bill is never right. There is always more on the bill than we consume, and we are always begging for tips. Unpleasant! And yet we keep going back. Today is the last time! Never again. Tourist trap, lots of money, no service and absolutely excessive prices! Unfriendly and not focused on the well-being of the guest!!! 25.03.25: Update: After writing an honest review, I'm now banned from the premises. The deal is, I take back the review and officially apologize, and then I'm allowed back in the store. Never! Anyone who doesn't see reality hasn't served their customers. The alternatives for me are the Goldesel, the Kastanie, or Galia Grill. Best service, good prices, and it tastes good! After 18 years, I'm saying goodbye to Höck and feel more comfortable somewhere else!

Impressive old Berlin pub, recommended 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍

It was a great recommendation from friends, very tasty, and the staff super friendly. We'd love to come back. Greetings from the four Dresdeners 🍾🥳👌👍🏻

We were there with our working group/17 people. Everyone really enjoyed it, delicious food, very good service. Nice Berlin atmosphere. Thank you for the lovely evening. The cabbage rolls were to die for

A magical place. A must in Berlin

A super authentic pub with excellent, classic Berlin cuisine. Pork knuckle, liver and spare ribs prepared deliciously and juicy by chef Arthur. All of this is topped by Olli, the brilliant hostess. Isi says thank you for the really great cinema.

Very authentic location with very good food, Berlin-style service and a great piano player.

You have to understand the way of operation, then you can have a lot of fun.

We were looking for a quaint Berlin pub and we weren't disappointed. An interior like a film set, but not artificially recreated, but real, was great to see. And the food too, of course. My beef roulade was big and delicious, we'll be back!

Great food, generous portions, nice atmosphere, a waiter whose humor is hard to beat. Perfect!

I really liked that. Nice and friendly service was very pleasant. The menu had a lot of rare home cooking. Actually, we didn't know what to use, but because of my iron deficiency, veal leather was the ideal dish and really tasty.

A really typical Berlin restaurant, where you can still find dishes like stuffed cabbage or “false rabbit”. The ambience is appropriate, the service is courteous.

No We had pork knuckle which was served cold and not even soft Pea puree tasted sour We were there on January 28th, 2025 Can't recommend it

Very unpleasant and unfriendly restaurant! The waitress was so angry and aggressive while serving us!

Beautiful old Berlin pub, delicious food like mom's, good beer 🍺 🍺 and great service, thank you Olli for the eggnogs 😋

Oli great service! Nice atmosphere, good beer, we'll be happy to come back!

It's a very nice and quaint restaurant. A pleasant non-smoking pub with style. The service is attentive and quick. We just ate a simple sausage. It was like a sausage should be. A delicious sausage with a nice side dish. Gladly again

Simply rustic, delicious and great service with a warm Berlin attitude!

First of all: I only rate restaurants that I would like to visit again and again, because something can always go wrong with a one-time stand... and impressions are always individual. I also like to give not just 5 but a maximum of 10 stars in order to be able to differentiate better. Wilhelm Hoeck 1892, Old Berlin pub/restaurant at its finest in Charlottenburg. Met on a short trip to the capital in 01-2024. Everyone feels comfortable here, whether in fine thread or worn-out jeans. It's loud, but unfortunately awesome. You don't have to teach the staff Berlin snout, but it does make the atmosphere even more pleasant. Beer could, wine not so, but not drinkable would be different. For food there is a good selection of pretty well-made Berlin home cooking, down-to-earth but, and I hate to repeat myself, unfortunately awesome. The prices are impressive, especially in the capital. I have to search for a long time in the state capital to find something comparable. The pub's charm depends on the number of people present. Then it's difficult to get a place, but you can do it alone at home. It's hard to find a comparable rating here... As a pub I give it 9 out of 10. Restaurant 6 out of 10 with delicious home cooking that I could eat again and again every day. Update in 01-2025: once again in the capital. Looked in again. Everything was like a year ago, unfortunately awesome.

A first class pub in Berlin, German cuisine at its best, an original. We come here often, but only with registration or if we're lucky, we'll be back soon

Everything was very good but we arrived 20 minutes before the kitchen closed asking if we could order food. They told us if we had enough so we could order without problems but the waiters forgot our order and brought it halfway, when we let them know they told us that nothing could be done since the kitchen was closed. We were hungry and had to leave.
