Augustiner am Gendarmenmarkt
About
Augustiner am Gendarmenmarkt is Berlin’s most authentic Bavarian tavern, nestled in the heart of the city on the historic Gendarmenmarkt square. From the moment you step inside, the warm, timber‑laden atmosphere and the scent of freshly tapped Augustiner beer greet you. The menu showcases hearty German classics – roasted pork knuckles, beef rouladen, and a weekly rotating lunch menu – all paired with the brewery’s renowned lager. Daily at 6 p.m. the venerable “Holzfass‑Anstich” rings out, marking the moment the newest barrel of Augustiner crystals is opened. For diners who love a touch of sunshine, the biergarten terrace offers city views and a relaxed setting for a relaxed pint, while the private Zirbenstube upstairs provides an intimate space for events and celebrations. Whether you’re a food lover, beer connoisseur, or simply looking for a convivial night out in Berlin, Augustiner combines traditional Bavarian hospitality with the cosmopolitan spirit of the capital.
