Where the concierge points people first
- Zenner Biergarten und Weingarten — On the Spree bank in Treptower Park, on a site that has been an excursion stop for centuries. Arrive by boat if you can; the Stern und Kreis ships call at the landing right beside it. (52.4875, 13.4778)
- Golgatha Biergarten — Tucked into the Viktoriapark in Kreuzberg below the Kreuzberg hill. Families by day, a much younger crowd with music after dark. (52.4867, 13.3788)
- Brachvogel — On the Landwehrkanal in Kreuzberg, with the canal traffic going past and a crazy-golf course next door. An easy one for a slow afternoon. (52.4966, 13.4001)
- Restaurant & Biergarten Schoenbrunn — By the pond in the Volkspark Friedrichshain, with a proper kitchen rather than just grilled sausages. The choice when half the group wants a meal and half wants a beer. (52.5281, 13.4338)
- Weltwirtschaft am HKW — At the Haus der Kulturen der Welt in the Tiergarten, on the river side. Pair it with whatever is on at the HKW that evening. (52.5193, 13.3648)

Nearly every Berlin beer garden is a fair-weather business
Berlin beer gardens are mostly seasonal. The usual pattern is spring to early autumn, with opening decided by the weather as much as the date: a cold, wet day in May can mean shutters down, and a warm October weekend can keep one going. Once the season ends the terrace generally closes, though a few operations carry on indoors. Expect a Pfand, a deposit on glasses and sometimes on jugs, added to the first round and refunded when you hand them back at the counter. Most are self-service: queue, pay, carry.
