One of the leafiest biergartens/outdoor kellers in town with a hilltop setting and a lovely view of the Altenburg. The beers might not be transcendent but they are solid and it’s a great place to sit outside. It’s actually a really good stop en route to or from an Altenburg walk.

I like this spot. Nice garten out back. A range of tasty brews on tap. A hike to get up here but worth it for an overlooked bamberg brewery. The currywurst was nice, too.

I visited this place on a sunny summer day, walking on the hill and quenching my thirst with two good beers (the only they had): the weizen and the excellent helles lager. Nice looking and shady biergarten. Good staff. I will return to this place next time I am in Bamberg.

A pleasant pub to spend time in on a wet Wednesday afternoon. The service was efficient, Lagerbier excellent and atmosphere was pretty good. Well worth walking up the hill from the city centre.

A cozy bierstube with wood panelling and a low hanging cealing making it a bit dark. I think this was the most quiet place I visited in Germany where other customers were present - we ate lunch here, if any body muttered something it was in a whisper. The food was plain German food, but cheap. The service was very friendly. 2 beers on draft and 1 bottle to take away.

I was in the non smoking room, had one beer and some food. The beer was good, the food was not so good.

Good looking brewpub filled with locals. Sevice is efficient, but a bit grumpy. Had an excellent Brotzeit with smoked ham, accompanied by a lager bier and a bock. Worth the hillclimb.

On my last visit, the long climb up the hill was wasted - it was closed for the summer - and unlike Spezial, which was also closed, it’s beer was not even available at the late August street festival. It was a shame, because I think their beer is fabulous, although not quite as perfect as Schlenkerla.

Beautiful spot for a beer outside, sitting under the large chestnuts and drinking their beer from good looking krugs.

Checked out their stunning Biergarten. Rows of old, tall trees, rows of tables, very peaceful and shady. A nice cool breeze blowing and regulars were there chatting early on a lazy Saturday. Leaves falling gently on the tables, spectacular view from the edge to another hill. I’d absolutely love this place on a cool, dark autumn evening, perhaps with fireflies floating by, if they even live in this area. Hard to wipe the contented smile off my face. A good "U" and even better service.
