Nice little bierstube with some solid pub grub, had a good sausage with bread. Fast and efficient service, nice small patio outside.

Right opposite the Nickolai Kirche (Church), this pretend old pub was built in 1987, the original (1571) stood miles away and I believe was bombed during WW11. We entered and the very small bar is straight in front of you. To the left is the main seating and largest room. We however turned right and a little ’Stammtich’ which had been hidden from view was sat in a small alcove. The Stammtich (Locals Table) was empty and we asked if we, as visitors could use it (as you always should). We were honoured to be told we could. I had a very nice Berliner Kindl Bock, the rest had Pilsners, all good and obviously in the correct glasses. The staff were pleasant and attentive, other customers were all German and most likely tourists like ourselves. Otherwise the Stammtich wouldn’t have been devoid of life. I have read that the new Zum Nussbaum (Hazlenut Tree) is a faithful replica of the original, it maybe but the toilets are modern and so is the outside. The inside is all dark wood and the lighting doesn’t try to hard to illuminate the place, adding to the image of this being an old building. All very tastefully done. Well worth finding and close to a few other good places for a beer or three. Visited three times now and it is cute more than a ‘must see’ place.

Very cozy and small place that fills up quickly. The selction is small but decent. If I were to come back it would only be for the atmosphere.

A cosy and historical place, indeed. You’ll have a good time. But the beer selection is just the Kindl beers that you can get anywhere. The dedicated Ratebeerian can find better options nearby

Very small and cosey bar. Very friendly and knowingly staff and local users. It seemed like everybody there came for a good beerexperience. Didnt have the food but it looked ok. 3 beers on tap and not many bottle availeble though.

Lovely place near Nikolai Kirche. You can sit outside. Great food and service but not so great beers.

A classic old fashioned little "Bierstube" Great service! Traditional German food and a nice local atmosphere. A relaxing visit.(Visited September 22nd 2010)

We came in here more to escape a sudden (and short) snowstorm than we had earlier planned. A nice, genuine tiny little pub, bustling and full of atmosphere. Only 3 beers on tap when we came in there I reckon, all 3 from Kindl (but not all that common draught). Again missed out on the food. Well, wasn’t as impressed as the others but I hope that the lack of variety is only a temporary condition.

Visited June 6, 2008. In ‘GBG Germany’ listed as pub number 12 in Mitte on page 447. Actually a bit hard to find, for us. We weren’t even that drunk. Well, anyway, once we did walk around the church and found the palce it was a nide little bar to visit and have a few beers. Did not try eating and only visited the outdoors seating.

Near to the twin-spired Nikolai Kirche, this is a lovely place to sit outside and enjoy a beer. Traditional German food was also available. Beers on tap and bottled. A really relaxing place this.
