Street Food auf Achse

Prenzlauer Berg


On Sunday, the Kulturbrauerei gets mobbed by hungry folk keen on a first-class culinary journey at economy prices. Dozens of mobile kitchens set up in the courtyard of this 19th-century red-brick brewery-turned-cultural complex, and there's a beer garden as well as occasional live music and other entertainment.

It's even open in winter when fire pits warm hands and hearts.
