Wooden tables, pub-goers cracking jokes, maybe even live music – there’s a reason why people flock to Irish bars, no matter what the city. If you’re looking for a break from standard Berlin service and want to find yourself in a bar with a bit more… hospitality, here are our picks for the best Irish bars in the city.
The Blarney
With an enigmatic bar manager who never leaves your glass empty, The Blarney’s low-key, intimate setting is a local’s paradise, filled with a mix of characters throughout the week. With Irish sports and music memorabilia adorning the walls, regular live folk music nights and a keen adoration for the Dropkick Murphys, The Blarney makes up for its modest size through its unique style and personality.

Celtic Cottage

Bringing traditional Irish hospitality to Steglitz, the Celtic Cottage is one of the few places in the city where you can get a Guinness Black and Tan. With a great beer garden, wooden interior and plenty of hospitality, the Celtic Cottage has a traditional pub feel that’s become a locals’ favourite with their regular quiz nights and live music.

The Irish Pub

Although the Uber Platz isn’t the first place you think of for a good night out, it does have one of the city’s best, and still relatively unknown, Irish bars, imaginatively titled The Irish Pub. With live music almost every night of the week – most of which puts the Uber Arena to shame – and a menu that includes a classic Irish stew and Guinness beef chili, The Irish Pub is a good reason to go to a bad place.

The Lír

About as close to Ireland as you’ll get without actually having to go there, The Lír has been turning Tiergarten green for over 30 years. With the best poured Guinness in the city, great pub food and a fine selection of Irish whiskies and sherries, The Lír is where you come when you need some of that classic craic.
