The Linienstrasse corner that pours Nordic coffee until the afternoon, switches to twelve craft taps at night, and keeps shuffleboard running in the basement.
Kaschk has anchored Linienstrasse 40 since 2014 and reopened in autumn 2021 as Kaschk by BRLO, when the Berlin brewery stepped in to keep the room alive. Creme Guides covered the takeover as beer between cheese and shuffleboard, which remains accurate.
Daytime runs Nordic leaning coffee and pastries; from late afternoon the twelve taps take over with BRLO's core range and rotating guests.
Who would hate it? Anyone wanting a pure beer nerd bunker. This is a social room three minutes from U2 Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz, and the shuffleboard queue proves it.
Warm lighting over wooden benches, a corner room that catches afternoon sun, and the shuffleboard lanes downstairs. Tripadvisor reviewers describe the staff as the kind who pick your next beer better than you would.
The list runs about twelve taps, BRLO's pale, Helles, and Naked stout joined by changing guests, most pours around 5 euro. The snack side leans pickled and fermented vegetables with local charcuterie, built for pairing rather than padding.
Order whatever the bartender suggests against your usual; Wanderlog reviews single out exactly that interaction. Skip the basement on league nights unless you booked a lane.
Laptop coffee drinkers until 4pm, after work tables through the evening, and shuffleboard teams holding the basement. Foursquare logs over four thousand visitors with the tap rotation as the recurring note.
