Schleusenkrug

City West & Charlottenburg


Sitting pretty on the edge of the Tiergarten park, next to a canal lock, Schleusenkrug truly comes into its own during beer-garden season. People from all walks of life hunker over big mugs and comfort food – from grilled sausages to Flammkuchen (Alsatian pizza) and weekly specials. Breakfast is served until 2pm.
