In a historical setting
Real live beer in the German capital can be tasted in the very center of the city. The Brauhaus Mitte restaurant, two dozen meters from Alexanderplatz, is famous for transit passengers of the local station and fans of large spaces. Its hall is huge and noisy, but the Russian traveler is offered a menu in his native language.
A nice pub in Berlin with a view of the cathedral is called Braunhous Georgbräu. The location in the historic center of the city and the many varieties of live drink made this place especially popular with tourists.
Useful details

By the roads of Stirlitz
Among the variety of pubs in Berlin, there are several establishments that even tourists who prefer champagne or whiskey have heard of. One of such treasured addresses is the "U last resort" beer restaurant. It is located on the Weisenstrasse and first opened in the 16th century, which is officially mentioned in the city chronicles.
But this beer hall in Berlin is not famous for its venerable age. Under the name "Rough Gottlieb," the institution "starred" in the famous Soviet film "Seventeen Moments of Spring" and it was in this restaurant that Stirlitz had dinner with Pastor Schlag and rested, breaking away from the surveillance. But the Elephant cafe, where the scout met with his wife, never existed in Berlin.
