Schleusenkrug

This lampinion-draped beer garden terrace in the immediate vicinity of the zoo is familiar to many Berliners. Visitors to Berlin may well wonder about its many quirks. The woodruff syrup, for example, whose toxic-green strands sully the foam of the "Berliner Weisse," an obligatory drink in summer. Or the bleats of camels and the subtle odor of dung, which the breeze carries over the zoo's walls. Beer and coffee wonderfully complement breakfast and hearty and delicious grilled meats.
