EBG Rating:	8.3/10
Choice/ Quality of Drinks	❤️❤️❤️❤️ A strong selection of high quality Franconian beer including Spezial on tap, but decent back bar offerings befitting its late opening hours.
Style/ Décor	❤️❤️❤️❤️ A former nursery and stables until the 1970s, and on foundations dating to 1345, this bar – according to the owner – sprang up on a whim in the early 90s during a renovation, intended to be an apartment, then converted to a bar. You’ll find a hallway on entry with dartboard and beer garden to the back, with the bar room to the right which has a mezzanine level and cafe bar tables, but mainly wood fittings. There are a lot of plants decorating the windows and musical instruments and ephemera fixed to the walls. Intimate in size and unique in shape.
Atmosphere/ Character	❤️❤️❤️❤️ Nothing less than a local institution. You won’t find many if any tourists here, most of whom flock to the beer halls of the centre. But this has carved its own space in the city’s history the past 30 years. Coming to life later in the evening, with a friendly crowd, there is a surprisingly pubby feel, one of the few German venues which fall between the Gaststatte and Kiezkneipe type setups.
Amenities/ Events	❤️❤️❤️❤️ Music, darts, outdoor seating, snacks, community events.
Value For Money	❤️❤️❤️❤️ Entirely fair prices.
Description	Nothing less than a local institution. You won’t find many if any tourists here, most of whom flock to the beer halls of the centre. But this has carved its own space in the city’s history the past 30 years. Coming to life later in the evening, with a friendly crowd, there is a surprisingly pubby feel, one of the few German venues which fall between the Gaststätte and Kiezkneipe type setups to feel like pubs. Music, darts, outdoor seating, snacks, community events and fair prices are a major draw. A former nursery and stables until the 1970s, and on foundations dating to 1345, this bar – according to the owner – sprang up on a whim in the early 90s during a renovation, intended to be an apartment, then converted to a bar. You’ll find a hallway on entry with dartboard and beer garden to the back, with the bar room to the right which has a mezzanine level and cafe bar tables, but mainly wood fittings. There are a lot of plants decorating the windows and musical instruments and ephemera fixed to the walls. Intimate in size and unique in shape, this isn’t one you’ll find listed in the beer focused guide books, yet it does offer some of the best Franconian beer on tap, with 3 of the best including Spezial available. Service is friendly, the atmosphere is lively and convivial. Why would you look past this place?
