Zum Nussbaum is a small traditional German pub at Am Nußbaum 3 in Nikolaiviertel, Berlin’s Old Quarter. Dark wood, benches and a compact dining room set the scene for hearty dishes such as eisbein and calf’s liver, alongside vegetarian choices and beer. The pub was rebuilt after the Second World War and has a long history in this part of the city. Its limited seating gives dinner an intimate feel, but plan ahead if you want a table at a busy time.
