Best-of list · Sports Guide
Ten ranked Berlin bars to watch the game, from Mitte expat screen bars to Kreuzberg beer gardens, with screens, sound policy and game day tips.
The short answer
10 ranked rooms follow. How we picked is at the end of this guide.
Berlin makes finding the game easy, with a bar on most corners and venues that range from expat screen rooms in Mitte to club shrines in Kreuzberg and the East. The difference between a good Berlin bar and a great one for game day is rarely the count of TVs. It is whether the sound goes on for the right match, whether the crowd backs a team, and whether the place opens for an overseas or early kickoff. These ten get those things right.
These central rooms are built for breadth of coverage and an English speaking crowd, and they carry the Premier League and Champions League alongside the Bundesliga.
How we picked
Berlin rewards matching the bar to the match. Head to Belushi's, Kilkenny or The Irish Pub Berlin for the Premier League and an English speaking crowd, make the trip to Abseitsfalle or Bierbrunnen for a partisan German game, and find Golgatha on a summer tournament night for an outdoor screen. The common thread across all ten is simple. They treat the game as the main event, not background noise.
We checked every bar on this list against its own current listing plus at least one independent Berlin guide, including The Guardian's roundup of Berlin football pubs and the listings on Belushi's own site. We ranked each on screens and sight lines, sound policy, club allegiance, the crowd, and how the room handles an early English kickoff.
