Potsdam is a city on the border of Berlin, Germany. Sanssouci Palace was once the summer home of Frederick the Great, former King of Prussia. On the grounds of the complex, the Renaissance Orangery Palace overlooks Italian-style gardens with fountains. Historic Mill offers city views. English gardens surround neoclassical Charlottenhof Palace. The 19th-century Roman Baths were built in several architectural styles. (Updated March 2022)

Literally brew house “Dairy”. The concept for the brewery was based on the tradition that originally the dairy farmers were also the local brewers.
This is a very large castellated building on the side of a vast lake with plenty outside space for hot summer days. Inside there is a spacious restaurant area, which was completely reserved when we arrived, a favourite spot for tourist coach parties.
We found a spot at the bar and sampled the beers on offer Hell at 5.2%, Weizen at 5.2% and Sollator Hebstbock at 6.8% which was the current seasonal beer.

Bar Gelb, Charlottenstrasse 29
Open: Daily 19.00 - 02.00
A modern hipsters bar that look's more like a youth club than a beer bar? Lots of young folk "it's cool kids". It's a bit hidden in the second row of the main street. They do more cocktail's than beer and there list is a dream of creative inventions with super cool drink names. They have a couple of tap's with a varied selection of craft beers and occasional tap take over’s, plus a good bottle selection. There is a nice atmosphere, with nice painting's on the walls, with great friendly staff. Plus outdoor seating is available as well, better than many places in Potsdam.
Waschbar, Geschwister-Scholl-Str. 82
Open: Mon - Sat 15.00 - 01.00 Closed: SUn
You can't miss this place as it has a "UFO" on the roof! It's a nice cozy place eclectic bar with some ostentatious weirdness and a relatively transparent attempt at being a "Szenenkneipe". The pitch is that you can have a few drinks while you wash and dry your clothes, in the line of automatic washing machines! what a great idea and which seems to have worked well here! Lots of American Indian decorations a totem pole plus Mexican Day of the Dead stuff. Awesome cocktails, a couple of decent craft taps and a few good bottle's plus a great choice of burgers (even vegan), plus some Mexican food too such as Nacho's A nice place with a great ambiance with trendy crowd a top place to spend some easy evenings and afternoons. There is an outside seating area, with lots of fun graffiti on the wall's plus very friendly staff, what more can you ask for?
