Brooklyn Burger Bar

Great vibe. Book in advance as seating is limited. Mushrooms were amazing. Burgers were good but not exceptional.

Immediately was greeted with a poor attitude by one of the waitresses as we came through the door. We sat down, ordered some drinks and food and noticed more then a couple dozen fruit flies on the wall and shelves. Absolutely off-putting and disgusting. Hope they get this fixed soon. Fruit flies, mean maggots, and if they are in the bar, it's in the food and drinks.

After a few days in the city trying new things we came here to get some familiar food and it did not disappoint. I had the Def Jam burger with sweet potato fries, and we also had the chili nachos at the table. Everyone at the table loved their burgers.

Nice location, funny interior and a lots of hipster.

The burger is very good and I can also recommend the hot sauce.

This burger joint has also a very good bar with nice cocktails.


This is really a place which I should visit:

Based on a local recommendation (thanks Heiko) we made our way to Brooklyn directly from our hotel. When we walked through the door we noticed immediately that the place was completely rammed. All the tables were fully booked up, but there was space at the bar that suited us perfectly. It was a typical burger/cocktail/beer bar that you would find anywhere in a big city across the globe these days. The decor was exposed brickwork and "8 Mile" style signs. The staff were very friendly and (for Germany) they had a decent range of craft beers and also tonnes of cocktails. The atmosphere was great for a Tuesday night, really busy and lively.

On the food side of things I would say the burger was pretty solid, but not spectacular. I had the chimchuri and it was a good size with plenty of toppings. The chips were a bit to thick and bland for my taste. More wedges than fries, but they were ok. Scoring for the bar itself, staff, drinks and atmosphere were all a 5, but the food was perhaps a 3.5. Overall a good 4 and I would recommend it highly as a place to visit for a bite to eat or even just a drink two.

Before my friend and I had even gotten to Germany, he had already indicated that he wanted to stop by this place (it's funny because we're from New York). The sign indicating that this place was Brooklyn Burger Bar was actually kind of small, so definitely listen to Google Maps and don't wander off just because the word Brooklyn Burger Bar wasn't in your face and you think this is another random burger joint.

For a burger joint where the hamburger was created, this was lackluster. Why try to imitate the Brooklyn vibe?! You have something way cooler, YOU HAVE HAMBURG! Haha, no I get it-- locals come here too.

Their menu is in this clip board thing, and they have a large variety of burgers and beverages to choose from. I for one don't really like the whole clip board situation, especially because it was hard to flip the pages. Our waitress didn't seem very fond of us, it seemed as she was rushing us-- so eh, were we expected to sit down and immediately know what we wanted?

The burger that I had was meh (the Chimichurri), it felt kind of dry. The burgers here are HUGE (very tall), and will require a knife and fork-- so I basically ended up dissecting my burger and eating the various pieces separately-- this might have been my fault due to my lack of knife and fork experience with burgers. I couldn't finish my burger.

Their cocktails were good though, I had the Panamerican Sour, yum!

This is really good, I select a burger of month, with beef inside. Really tasty. Credit card only can be accepted, if your bill is more than 15 EU. If not, 1 EU needed to be payed additional. Very busy at night, you need to book a table first, otherwise you need to wait for a long-time. Next time, I would like to add some fries, hopes good.

Solid burgers. The interior and food is decent and good enough to bring clients.
There were some interesting drinks, like the basil lemonade, which tasted like actual basil, had massive basil leaves in it and, believe it or not, was delicious!
The burgers were not out of this world, any Burger Joint Hunter probably had better, but we left really satisfied.
Good service though, we were accommodated on short notice, it can get somewhat cramped towards the back.

Fantastic place...so good that it fills up quickly. My team and I went there on Thursday night and were lucky to arrive at their opening time (we had 8 people). The burgers are amazing - several of us got the hangover burger, which included an egg, jalapeño and jack cheese. One person had a classic cheese burger "skinny" style (no bun) and loved it. The French fries are amazing - try the sweet potato ones with the lime chili mayo dipping sauce! And they have one of the biggest selections of bourbon that I'm come across outside of Lexington Kentucky. I will definitely come back here.

Supposedly the best burger in Hamburg, the city where the hamburger was created... but not fantastic

It is a borderline 4 star but since they use ketchup in their main burger I can't give more than 3.
To avoid ketchup I took the Chimichurri, a good burger with manchego cheese (which is always a great cheese for burgers) and a special sauce of the same name. The burger was good although the meat was a bit too red, not that I don't like it but it just less tasty, and the bun not solid enough.

A good burger that could get more but take out ketchup from the main cheese burger
