Zwiebelfisch is the literary-and-press bar on Savignyplatz Friedrichstraße corner in Charlottenburg that has run continuously since 1965 — the Günter Grass and Heinrich Böll generation's regular, the Tagesspiegel and Berliner Morgenpost journalism corps' regular, the format that has not changed: long bar, dark wood, the steak-frites-and-Sauerkraut canteen menu that fills the kitchen all day, the kind of late-1960s-West-Berlin room the audience inherits as a piece of the city's intellectual layer. The kitchen is competent rather than fine; the room is the booking.

Editor's Tip

Sit at the bar. The kitchen is steady — the Frikadellen and the Sauerkraut are the markers — but the room is the meal. Pairs with a Paris Bar evening down Kantstraße.
