The Bird West<\/a><\/h3>\n

One of our first ways of bringing the \u00fcberlin community to life was with our Berlin Burger Tour<\/strong><\/a>. The plan was to chomp our way across the city, make new friends, while at the same time settling that important question: where can you get Berlin\u2019s best burger? It was a great idea, but we cut the tour short after just three evenings, as Zo\u00eb and myself went to The Bird \u2013 and we decided that we\u2019d just eaten the best burgers in Berlin! The only problem? We had to go all the way up to Prenzlauer Berg to get them\u2026<\/p>\n

Well we have good news for all lazy burger fans who live south of Pberg \u2013 The Bird West<\/strong><\/a> is now open on Kottbusser Damm, on the border of Kreuzberg and Neuk\u00f6lln! Larger than the original American expat hangout, and much bigger, the new Bird was nonetheless packed when we first visited. Luckily, we managed to get seats at the bar, conveniently close to a broad selection of beers from the US, the rest of the world, and even back home (Brew Dog FTW). A psychic chef surprised us with what we were planning to order anyway \u2013 a succulent beast of a burger topped with bacon and cheddar (The Filthy Harry) and an immaculate fillet steak, both accompanied by a epic stacks of perfectly-crisped fries. The New York cheesecake that followed was both totally uncalled for, and an absolute treat.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve been to The Bird East, you know what to expect from their Western outpost. If you\u2019ve never been to either location, you\u2019ll probably feel like you\u2019re stepping onto American soil when you walk through the door \u2013 a sensation supported by the food, the buzzing atmosphere, the excellent customer service\u2026 everything about the place. We\u2019ll leave the investigative reporting to Stil in Berlin<\/a> and declare the Bird our favourite burger in Berlin, and our favourite environment in which to enjoy it.<\/p>\n
