Weihenstephaner
About
Nestled in Berlin’s historic Mitte district, the Weihenstephaner Berlin is a living tribute to Bavaria’s oldest brewing tradition. Established by Prussian King Frederick William II in 1749, the restaurant occupies the city’s oldest building, complete with a vaulted cellar that has hosted guests for centuries. Inside, the spacious Gewölbekeller can seat up to 180 patrons, while a range of intimate rooms – from the Braustüberl (hosting up to 100) to the cozy Brunnenzimmer – cater to events or quieter gatherings. A lively Biergarten sits on Hackescher Markt, drawing up to 250 guests from spring until late autumn, offering open‑air dining under a canopy of blue‑white tablecloths as sunset turns the space into a warm, shadowed oasis. The menu showcases authentic Bavarian fare—think Alpine specialties, hearth‑broiled meats, and an array of regional cheeses—paired with beers from the world‑old Weihenstephan brewery. Whether you’re looking for a casual lunch, a celebratory dinner, or a place to host a business meeting, the restaurant’s warm kitchen operates daily until 23:00, while the walls echo centuries of brewing lore. The Weihenstephaner is open every day from noon until midnight and can be reserved online for an unforgettable Bavarian dining experience in Berlin.
