We (me and Loz) visited here Friday 23rd January 2026, we were in Berlin for the weekend with Nick, Anna, Charlie, Sarah, Honey and Ryan, however this was a sneaky visit to a place without them as they were not due to arrive until much later this afternoon/early evening. We got here for opening time, so 1pm though we had to knock the shutter door to attract attention as they were running late. The guy who served us was from Middlesbrough in the UK and was good fun.

The venue is about 20-25 mins from Berlin Hbf via an S-Bahn then quick change to U-Bahn but yeah more straightforward than I expected. It is a very large place, new'ish' I would say and quite big. As you enter from the door on the corner there are a few makeshift loungers, chairs, tables, sort of rustic and with a pallet style build as I recall. Btw meant to say it is step free access. The small bar with two draft offerings is opposite to the left on the small bar/serving area, there are two beer fridges to the left. All of the new 'non' standard range are there, apparently they brew enough for 2,000 cans of every new beer and then that is it, plus of course the core range are also available. We had to wait for about 45 mins before the draft options were available/

The focus is definitely on NEIPAs, NEDIPAs etc so expect a lot of modern hazy/murky beers and okay whilst this is not my favourite style they were all incredibly fresh, with one apparently only about a week since canned and despite being a little bit in yer' face i.e. aggressive, I did really like them, Loz liked them even more and really misses her IPAs. We were first here, followed by a couple in there 30's who had just moved into a large unit next door or very close by, they seemed to be super excited that this was now a neighbour, then came 3-4 young lads, one who was rolling up a huge fat joint to smoke outside and was uninterested in beer whilst his mates seemed quite keen on the beer. Then a couple our age or a little older who were waiting for the keg offerings to become available.

We really liked it, the brewery is visible from where you ae seated but there is nothing stopping you from taking a closer look, toilets are around underneath the offices. In the summer they put out tables and chairs outside. It is a nice place, very welcoming, nice vibe, relaxed, chilled maybe a little bit too cool for this time of year but we were well wrapped up. We would definitely return.

We visited here Saturday 10th January 2026. Much like the already rated Oedipus which has also moved since our last visit, we visited the previous Walhalla venue back in 2019? we went there with Bob and Claire and like Oedipus we simply wanted to revisit the area and both of these bars, albeit their new locations. As I already mentioned in my rating for Lowlander and Oedipus, it really was treacherous today and so I will have another rant at the local authorities for their complete disregard for pedestrians when it comes to keeping footpaths clean, which they didn't, grr really dangerous and particularly annoying as many of the cycle paths and all of the roads were clear of ice and snow.

Okay rant over lets move onto the venue. It is located in Noord Amsterdam over the other side of the Ij, a 5 minute free ferry ride and you're over and then maybe a 12-15 mins walk, of course we were doing it differently as we'd been to Lowlander then Oedipus and finally here, which is very doable but whilst this used to be super close to Oedipus it is a walk now of about 10-15 mins. It appears to be on a bus route with the bus stopping directly outside and there is plenty of new builds, such as apartments and small retail units underneath being built. It is in a good location and I think one that will serve them well for the future and despite being the smallest of the aforementioned places it was by some margin the busiest. You enter from a corner, I think that is roughly L shaped the bar runs along a back wall and the brewery is behind, mostly out of view but when you go to the toilets its partially viewable.

The guy serving was the only person on shift, he was very friendly, played some good music and seemed to like his job and just being a decent person, happy to chat. I was interested in the demographic here, there was a good mix including a table behind us mostly older women, in fact elderly women who were having a lovely time, drinking beer and other drinks and chatting with the barman, I think they really liked it, as did we.

Beer choice was good, mostly their own but with a few guest beers, we stayed here for 2 or 3 and took a couple of cans away with us. Of the three places visited today this was easily by some margin our favourite place, we would definitely return and wholeheartedly recommend it, yes I agree it doesn't look so interesting from the outside but inside it's fine, plenty of windows, a decent amount of seating and a nice crowd. Btw we had a small snack of cheese, it was a very generous portion, would also recommend that as more than enough for two to share.
