Dicke Wirtin

City West & Charlottenburg


Old Berlin charm is in every nook and cranny of this been-here-forever pub, which pours eight draught beers (including the superb Kloster Andechs) and nearly three dozen homemade schnapps varieties. Hearty local and German fare, such as meatballs in caper sauce, beef liver and pork roast, keeps brains balanced. Bargain lunches, too.
