Prater Garten

Prater Garten on Kastanienallee in Prenzlauer Berg is Berlin's oldest beer garden, running since 1837 — chestnut trees, communal benches, Berliner Pilsner from the tap, the classic German beer-garden menu (Schweinshaxe, Bratwurst, Brezel) self-served from the kitchen counter. Adjacent indoor Wirtshaus runs year-round; the garden runs from April through October. For the audience this is the German beer-garden ritual in Berlin form — broader and louder than Munich's, with the East-Berlin layer the city keeps.
