Opposite the Volksbühne, Volksbar operates a screen of approximately 24 square meters, the largest a Berlin pub offers for the Sunday crime show. Around fifty guests can fit in front of it, and there are cocktails, draft beer, and a foosball table in the basement. If you want to watch Tatort here, you should arrive half an hour before the film.
Kvartira 62 in Wrangelkiez is furnished like a 1920s private apartment as a Russian bar: heavy curtains, old dressers, candles, and well-worn sofas. The menu offers pelmeni, a large selection of vodka and craft beer, an evening costs about fifteen euros. As a 'Tatort' pub, it feels more like a living room than a public viewing event.
The FC Magnet Bar in Berlin-Mitte has been an institution among Berlin football pubs for over two decades: public viewing on a big screen, two foosball tables in the basement, and an atmosphere where goals are celebrated with strangers.
The Celtic Cottage in Steglitz opened in 1979 and is one of Germany's oldest Irish pubs: nine draft beers, around seventy whisky varieties, steel darts, and a heated terrace with over sixty seats. The pub shows the 'Tatort' crime show on a big screen in the back room. Whoever guesses the culprit and submits their tip in time gets half a draft beer on the house.
The Old Berlin pub Ausspanne offers exclusive and modernly interpreted Berlin cuisine in the heart of Berlin.
Berlin's wackiest experience pub has been located in Charlottenburg since 1971: Das Klo on Leibnizstraße, just around the corner from Ku'damm, serves beer in urinal bottles, sends tables flying into the air, and greets its guests with a jet of water.

Yellowed newspapers on the walls, knicknack all over and furniture with a rustic touch.
Hidden in the Europa-Center on Tauentzien, right in the heart of Charlottenburg, this Irish Pub is one of Berlin's most famous live music venues. Its 36-meter-long bar, daily bands, and an international crowd make it a reliable hotspot when the evening is far from over.
The Milchbar on Manteuffelstraße in Kreuzberg has been one of Berlin's most legendary football pubs since 1988. Rock'n'Roll, foosball, pinball, and public viewing under surreal underwater murals make this place a true Kreuzberg original.
'Zu mir oder zu dir' in Prenzlauer Berg is a popular spot for dates. With warm lighting and cozy sofas, the small pub feels like a living room where people can casually meet with DJs and creative drinks.
