Very cool space, and nice outside area. Beer were very tasty. Chicken is the main thing here, very well cooked, potato salad was also great. Gave it a 4 stras cause of the menu variety, felt like i wanted something more.
Super solid old-world traditional vibes mixed up in the former GDR regime. Lovely patio well hidden from the street by ivy, and a half broiler chicken that will blow your taste buds. Very casual.
We visited Alt Berliner Wirtshaus Henne for the second time, this time with a group of friends, and once again we absolutely loved it. The place has a true old Berlin atmosphere — cozy, authentic, and full of character. The restaurant’s signature half chicken is simply a masterpiece: perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and full of flavor. The German draft beer was excellent, and the cabbage salad was absolutely delicious as well. I highly recommend this place to everyone who loves traditional German cuisine, historic restaurants, and authentic old-style atmosphere. We will definitely come back again.
Building, food, service, beer - spot on! We had an amazing experience and really enjoyed traditional food. Service and atmosphere - exceptional. Highly recommended! Unforgettable experience
Delicious chicken with rich flavor and perfectly cooked. The atmosphere was wonderful, made even more special by a small live violin session that created a warm and charming vibe. A lovely traditional spot in Kreuzberg for great food and a memorable dining experience. 🎻🍗
