Brewery and restaurant with beautiful interior design and lovely staff. Enormous selection of craft beers - if you're not sure where to start, try mixed beer plate first (5 different beers 0,1l). If you're not a fan of alcohol, try with a homemade lemonade. And if you're hungry, my recommendation is pulled pork that was cooked for more than 12 hours. Keep in mind that it is crowded on Friday or Saturday evening so try to be there a bit earlier :)

Usually this place is described as the best kebab in Berlin - and you simply have to try it. For 3€ you can taste the perfection - grilled vegetables with high quality meat :) If you think you could have troubles with eating a kebab because sometimes it's not very practical, take durum that is basically the same but wrapped in a better way.
