UPPER Grill & Bar

UPPER Grill & Bar brings American cooking to the center of Berlin with a clear focus on grilled meats, burgers, and hearty plates. The steaks and cheesecake are the standouts here — both consistently well-regarded by guests. It's the kind of menu that doesn't try to do everything, just does its thing with confidence. The space itself has a warm, modern feel — wooden ceiling panels, metallic pendant lights, and a mix of textures that keep things from feeling too slick or corporate. Green upholstered benches run along the walls, and the layout is open enough that it doesn't feel cramped even when the room is busy. In summer, the courtyard is a real draw. It's the sort of spot where people tend to stay longer than they planned. The service is friendly and attentive throughout, and the overall atmosphere is lively without tipping into overwhelming.
