A+! You know how “Try the schnitzel” can be kind of a punchline in American comedy? Well, I’m here to confirm that when you go to lunch at Schleusenkrug in Berlin, near the Sunday Trödelmarkt, you should mos def TRY THE SCHNITZEL. It was not only terrific, but also accompanied by truly yummy German potato salad and served by a super duper nice young man. HIGHLY recommended—all of it! Eat outside in the garden.

After waiting 30 minutes for my food, which was 20 minutes longer than my peers, I was served with what was meant to represent an Alsace Flammkuchen. Instead, I received a poor impression of a pizza, which had a horrible texture, taste and consistency. Would highly recommend not going here, and will never be back!

Really cool spot for a beer! We didn't eat the food but the beers were fresh and staff friendly. A nice spot in the park for a drink.

It's a beautiful and lovely place to enjoy a summer evening with your friends and loved ones. Have decent ranged of food and drinks. Staffs are nice and friendly.

A really nice outdoors beer garden with a great selection of drinks. A pleasant place to have a couple of drinks on a warm day when our exploring.

The schnitzel was super. I had the Wiener Schnitzel and but the chicken schnitzel was very tasty as well. The place was not that cozy. The inside decoration needs some love. Besides that the staff was very friendly. I recommend this place :)

Great place on a Sunday enjoying a beer and food. Lots of outdoor seating. The main menu is written in German but there's a smaller English menu for us tourists. Good priced beer here too, €4.90 for 0.5L. My entire meal pictured cost €21

Fantastic place. The service was unbelievably fast (I would give it 6 out of 5, if it was possible on here -- it was ridiculously speedy). The food is great, too. Not the cheapest in Berlin, but very good quality. I'd say that it's worth the money. Giving a 4 stars for atmosphere because we found that everyone mostly sticks to themselves. You might find that to be something you prefer, in which case it's a 5 there too.

Not a large beer selection for what's considered a "Beer garden" but it has a cool vibe. Went at night so the lights were on. It's very close to the zoo, so there's the zoo smell, but it wasn't too bad.

Nice enough beer garden where patrons queue at a counter to order. When I asked for some water for my dog, I was pointed to a plastic bucket in which dead insects were floating.

Loved the place! The vibe was really nice with some bike tours stopping by for beers and a delicious Bratwurst. Food menu was impressive for a beer garden, and quality was outstanding. This place has become a tourist attraction!

The place gets PACKED. We waited in line so long that by the time we placed an order, the only thing we could get was pizza because the kitchen was closing. I also feel they’re a TAD overpriced — BUT, the pizza was great. Perfect drinking food. Atmosphere was lively. Great place to have a few beers outside on a warm summer evening.

Friendly, quiet. Pleasant after a garten walk.

The beer garden is lovely but they made some comments about us having coffee (on the menu) there. It's fine, but I can only comment on the coffee (which was perfectly fine)

Food was great, blankets available when it's a little chilly but you still want to sit outside

Really super in hot weather- food queues can be long however! Nice beer garden near the tier garden. If you are in town go for a nice walk and end up here for a beer! Recommended

Lovely outdoor restaurant that was situated right in the middle of the park. Great atmosphere and vibe, super busy and buzzing with conversation. Food was quite traditional German cuisine, very hearty and filling. The schnitzel was pork and was juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside served with sweet cranberry sauce and spicy horse radish. The rosemary potatoes were soft and perfectly seasoned and the garden salad was fresh and filling with a variety of baked vegetables. Definitely would recommend for dinner and a drink.

Nice place inside the park, even better when it's good weather and you can sit outside. The food was tasty. For the whole experience, I put 5 stars, because I personally like that kind of places. Recommend for a daytime break.

Went on a rainy day, the local beer was nice. Felt good standing where the old Berlin wall was

Very nice place in the first and by the canal to enjoy some drinks and a grill. A bit noisy when trains are passing by but not that much. If you're walking with family or friends in Tiergarten, that's a good spot to stop.

Nice Biergarten to sit outside during summer, drink a beer and eat something. The space is quite huge but it can get busy, you order and pick-up at the counter.

Good beer and good food in a big open space, where you can talk and enjoy a nice time

Great beer garden and very popular. Not easy to find a table on a sunny weekend. It was nice that there was an express bar just for bottled beer and other easy drinks, so you don't have to queue with all those people who want to eat.

Good biergarten, 2 minutes walk from Zoo and on the edge of the Tiergarten. Good selection of beers and has covered seating areas if the weather isn't great. It's right up against the elevated railway tracks, which adds a certain ambiance to the experience, I can't vouch for the food as I've not tried it, but it looks decent enough.

It should be a 4 -- it is just a beer garden after all -- but in their class, they're a 5. Good food -- we especially liked the 'flame cookies' -- beer and atmosphere. It does get crowded, but that's just 'cause it is a nice place to grab a beer and maybe some food and sit and talk for a while.

I really like this Biergarten. It's affordable, food is good and service is great. The only downside would be the small size, so it's really common to see it fully occupied. During some days the BBQ Grill is open, and that adds a lot to the experience.

Beer garden with history! They start at 1954, very tasty schnitzel and Berliner beer

Great beer garden a few minutes away from the crowds and noise of Berlin Zoo station. Good food and drinks. Vegetarian options on menu. Plenty of seats. Perfect.

Must see! Great walk near by! Great food ! Ravioli was delicious ! Beer even better ! I love everything about this place!

Good beergarden near the river and the island. Large and free toilets

if you were out and about in the beautiful Berlin zoo with your dear family and child like me, you long for a wonderful beer and maybe a genuine cigarette. Here, in this beer garden you can experience both at its finest, there is Berliner Kindl on tap and, if we're honest, every beer is drinkable on tap.

Very nice biergarten, well located!! Good food.

I've been here twice. That's a lot for me. Very pleasant atmosphere, beer, and wine. The pizza is amazing. The sausage is great. And the staff even helped make plain for for my children

Good Goulash, good beer, great spot to stop

As a tourist, this is the first place I visited as my train went past it. The vibe is chill, there was no music, just people talking, laughing, drinking, smoking. The perfect place to absorb a new environment with a (to me) foreign language and some people watching. Their green Sauer bier is great, my pasta was not :D.

Nice place, reasonably priced beers with lots of tables, loads of wasps however.

Just a biergarten. But really nice location. Fair prices. And just relaxing and good experience... Even in grey weather.

Super chill place to have aome drinks, big space for these times

Such a pretty atmosphere, and they don't kick anyone out if you're there past their opening hours. Drinks are good, prices are average, but it is very good for big groups for a good time. Do recommend it and give it a shot!

Good food and good beer 🍻

It’s always a pleasure sitting in the Schleusenkrug or their garden. Food and drink are okay. Nothing extraordinary. You will never be disappointed going there

Beautiful place right by the park, food was delicious. We had the vegan currywurst (with potato wedges and salad), and the Mediterranean pizza (which is “French style,” and more like a thin crisp flatbread). The currywurst sausage was really good, and the potato wedges were awesome (especially with the currywurst sauce). The pizza was very cheesy and rich, but I would personally say a little heavy on the red onions. Loved it here!

A super expensive place to gather around. Be prepared to stand in a long queue if you don't have cash. Always crowded. Can't comment about food because I was too tired to wait in the lines to order one.

Great food, spacious place and attentive staff. Price was good too. Well done!

Great beer garden in the tiergarten park. The perfect pit stop on a bike ride around Berlin. Lots of shady spots to sit and have a beer followed by their excellent schnitzel. So good. This place is the best of summertime in Berlin.

Excellent al fresco eating place in the park - the amount of locals eating and hanging out here gives it a great feeling of a favourite local community meeting venue. Pick a table, go order your food and drink at the window, food comes quick to you. Packed with locals when we went

Quality of the food was terrible and pricy. Potato salad was more a soup. The potato wedges floppy. Cake was frozen store bought. Sitting under the pergola was very hot. Only one small fan. Would never go again.

Wide variety of local dishes, prices on the higher side and taste is rather bland

It is a nice place to go eat and have a little chat. But the food is a little bit expensive to my taste, and the service is sometimes rude (I have been there several times). Restrooms available over there. The view inside while the ships navigate is quite cool.

Lovely quiet location. Large outdoor area. Efficient service, good food and beer.

For a beer garden, the food is fantastic: creative, healthier than normal, always real Vegetarian choices. The beer and the atmosphere are also great. Only downsides are (i) lots of smokers, and (ii) very crowded on weekends.
