An eck is a traditional old German corner pub. A Sophien-eck is an eck located on the corner of Sophien Street (...and Grosse Hamburger Strasse, in case you were wondering about the address!). All a bit unimaginative, but there you go. Generally ecks are dark, grotty dives populated by dour, drunken locals and purposely visiting one would make about as much sense as visiting London and ending up in the Binge & Vomit on Beckenham High Street. However this particular eck is cosy and friendly and worth stepping into for a hearty pub lunch or dinner. Regular menu changes keep you on your toes.
