This bar is cash only, no photos allowed inside especially at the bar, the menu is a large chalkboard hanging above with good prices, and they play punk music all night long. There is a nice outside patio seating, however it does close at 10pm and all patrons must either leave or move inside. There is indoor smoking, pool tables, and no line at the bathrooms. Only downside - with the popularity, it can get cramped. My boyfriend and I went on a weekday, and it was flooded with a mix of Americans and Germans. We stayed about an hour, as we were standing at the bar for the most part, but really enjoyed our time there.

Something told me to turn down a different way than I usually would. Walked by this little gem, and I knew I had to go in. Something about it. The bartender Stevie was extremely beautiful, and very trippy. She was super friendly and an absolutely unique gal. I told her how much I love the bar, and she said that I had to go and tell it to the man who was sitting outside. When I talked to him, I instantly fell in love. I knew right away that I had met someone that I wouldn't ever even come close to meeting again in this life. What a brilliant and sweet man he was, and I'm sad that I forgot his name. He sat and chatted with me about life there for the past 40 years. He speaks pure art, not a typical conversation, which I appreciate. He deserves to have a book written about himself. Excellent music, I just wish that I had some mushrooms while I was in there. But then again, you don't really need them. And besides that, I probably wouldn't have made it home. Had a couple of great beers, one of the most amazing hours of my life, and I can't speak more highly of this place. I wouldn't have minded staying a few more hours, but being the lightweight that I am... wouldn't have gone on so well to end nicely. Grateful for the experience, definitely make this a stop when you're in your area. Thank you all for giving me this memory to hold dear in my heart.

I'm really not sure what the German reviews are talking about on about regarding the "Konzept" of the place - it's just a little neighborhood bar - but it's a good one!

Took a little bit of time but eventually they seemed to warm to me. One huge biker dude took a shine to me and kept joking with me all night in broken English. At the end of his night (which was quite early) he swooped in and gave me a kiss on the cheek and wished me a lovely vacation. The bathrooms were cleaner and nicer than the cobalt/funkys/astoria from my dives back home in Vancouver - seriously Vancouver, get your shit together - LITERALLY. Drink prices seemed super reasonable to me. But really anywhere in Europe they seem reasonable to me. Bartender didn't really know how to make a whiskey sour and what I ended up drinking wasn't that fantastic, but I think that's my fault, what the hell was I doing ordering a whiskey sour at this place? Beer seems to be the best bet. The place filled up quick and seemed very popular with the locals and tourists alike.

We ordered the schnitzel and the bratwurst, which came with cabbage and potato salad, and paired everything with a Berliner Kindl and a Pilsner. The schnitzel was fantastic--crispy, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor--while the bratwurst was equally delicious. The cabbage and potato salad complemented the sausage beautifully, and I found myself piling both onto my schnitzel because they were that good! The true star of the evening, however, was the apple strudel. Freshly made, perfectly sweet, and easily the best apple strudel I had in Berlin. We had a reservation, which I'd recommend since the restaurant filled up quickly during dinner service. The service was fast, friendly, and the staff spoke excellent English, making the experience easy and welcoming for visitors. Since it was a warm evening, we chose the outdoor seating, which made for a lovely dinner, though the indoor dining room has the cozy charm of a traditional German pub. If you're looking for hearty, authentic German food done right, Dicke Wirtin is an absolute must-visit.

We did get a table but under the condition that we'd be done by 6pm. By that time, we could see why. The place started to fill up. Both of our meals were excellent. Coworker had the schnitzel (I know someone who thinks that word is funny) and I had the beef tips in a mushroom sauce over spaetzle. Soooo, soooo, good! Plate clearing good. Schnitzel was also excellent. Big portions. Will repeat
