This location is in a great neighborhood and we were lucky to get in without a reservation. The beer was very good, and the food was exceptional.

BRLO BRWHOUSE is a large brewery/restaurant with a modern design (it's built from 38 shipping containers) in the up and coming Kreuzberg section of Berlin. It's hip, trendy, and a bit pricey.
There are two entrances, one that leads right into the restaurant, and one that leads around back to the fairly large biergarten. Inside the design theme seems to be metal painted in black, white, and grey. It's polished and stylish. There's an elevated dining platform in the center of the room with the kitchen on one side and the bar on the other. The bar isn't for standing or sitting at though, you just buy your beers there and take them to wherever you're sitting. Obviously if you're dining your server will get them for you.
The food is a little unusual. It's mainly vegetarian, but seeing as how it's still in Germany you can understand why they also offer meat. For the vegetarian menu you decide how much food you want and go from there. 19€ provides enough food for one person, and you get a choice of 1 vegetable main (out of 5), 1 side (out of 5), and 1 topping (out of 5). Additional sides and toppings are 3€ each. 3 people can choose 3 mains, 2 sides, and 3 toppings for 49€. You can probably already see where this can be a little difficult, particularly if you have 4 indecisive people. Then there's the "ALL IN" which is enough for 5 to 6 people and includes all of the vegetables, sides, and toppings as well as a meat, sauce, and 2 desserts. At 200€ that's pricey in comparison but it makes it easier to choose.
The beers are more reasonably priced, and much easier to decide upon as they offer a wide selection. There are up to 20 beers available in a variety of styles (NEIPA, helles, Baltic porter, Berliner weisse, other sours, pale ale, Märzen, weizen, DIPA, rauchbier, etc.), many of which are guest taps. The prices vary depending on the type of beer, but a basic beer will cost you 3.50€ for a .3L, and 5,50€ for a half-liter.
They're closed on Monday, and open Tuesday through Friday from 5pm-midnight, Saturday from noon-mindnight, and Sunday from noon-6pm.
