Nicholas DoyleMay 17, 2014Best warm pretzel I've had out of all the German spots I've tried in the city. Warm, pillowy, and flavorful with a delicious sweet mustard. Smaller than some others, but big of flavor.
The Corcoran GroupFebruary 27, 2012Great place to go before or after a show at BAM! Start with a Schwartzwald Spritz, add a Liptauer, then a Labskaus and finish with a Nutella Pretzel Pie.
Annie TJuly 27, 2016whimsical decor. Aviation, Pirage Jenny, Hemmingway Daiquiri. For food, really loved the rainbow trout and Duck confit.
Colin M. FordOctober 17, 2015Great, modern take on German staples. The schnitzel tastes better than any I've ever had!
Jessica WSeptember 27, 2013Good, authentic German food and cozy atmosphere, but it comes at a price. Try the Anna Nicole cocktail if you get the chance.
Susan McGowanDecember 19, 2014The Wiener schnitzel was delicious and the potato salad was perfect! I will be back!
Luis ZambranoMay 21, 2013Nice to start with the pretzel (strong mustard). The grenadine lemonade is very tasty!
Sonya SinghAugust 3, 2013The potato pancakes with a glass of gruner are a must. Service was annoyingly slow but they were very nice about it.
Wil ROctober 13, 2012Be sure to get the hostess' attention. She might see a 'regular', put their info down for a table, walk away and ignore you.
Nick GrayAugust 18, 2011Chips appetizers are great. Cheese plate also good. Pizza thing with apple and cheese was delicious.
Linnea CovingtonMarch 15, 2011Sliders and potato pancakes are out of this world. Pair that with a glass of Gruner, and voila! Yumsville.
Kate RitchieAugust 18, 2011Cute place that is perfect for a pre- or post-show BAM stop. Great cocktails and potato pancakes.
DR GNovember 13, 2014Adequate but unexciting. Price is high for what you get and service is patchy (15 mins for a beer, entrees brought at different times)
ECavaNovember 20, 2010Get the Mocando cocktail and for food, nosh on frikandellan (meatballs), sliders and salty potato pancakes.
Pueblo Viejo TequilaFebruary 9, 2017The most delicious cocktails are mixed with Pueblo Viejo Tequila.
- Rupa ParekhNovember 16, 2011Wurst plate is totally shareable. Comes with a ton of potatoes...too many for me!
- Pueblo Viejo TequilaMarch 29, 2016The Easter colors reflect in a Margarita mixed with Pueblo Viejo. Get yours here at Berlyn!
Don GarmonApril 15, 2012Until they open up the patio to get some fresh air - avoid sitting there. It's an oven!!

"An intimate place with beer and food that are well worth return visits. Comfortable family seating on large picnic tables. I've had lunch and some appetizers there, hanging with the guys."
David Bone - 8.2
"Schnitzel here is fantastic. We had pork and veal. The build-your-own includes 2 sides and it's totally worth the extra two bucks for the homemade spatzel."

"A really great theater with a really great selection of films and special events."

"Coolest opera house I've been to. In general shows at BAM are half the price and twice as good as most things in manhattan. Get more BAM for your buck"
