Quality of Drinks
❤️❤️❤️❤️
One of the few still serving Augustiner Helles exclusively from a wooden barrel, its quality and condition, impeccable pouring distinctly a notch above most. A compact, old-school back bar of alternatives including regional wines.
Style/
Décor
❤️❤️❤️❤️
An almost wedge-shaped pub with high ceilings, dark wood fittings, candelabras and patina of years past on the walls (or the appearance of). A large long bar at the back of the room with an oil painting hung behind.
Atmosphere/
Character
❤️❤️❤️❤️
More of a locals’ enclave than others, but not hostile or unfamiliar with tourists. A clear pubby, social scene despite the Wirtshaus set up.
Amenities/
Events
❤️❤️❤️
Meals, snacks, limited outdoor seating.
Value For Money❤️❤️❤️
Not unreasonable, in fact pointedly reasonable given a near central location.
DescriptionAn Old fashioned Wirthaus and one of the few still serving Augustiner Helles exclusively from a wooden barrel, its quality and condition, impeccable pouring distinctly notable once you have had a chance to settle and enjoy your surroundings. This pub is an unspoilt ‘in-the-know alternative to the big corporate beer halls of the centre. Hardly obscure but enough off the main thoroughfare to not feel the need to cater to tourists, instead offering a social space for locals while picking up the occasional more intrepid traveller. A wedge shaped pub with high ceilings, dark wood fittings, candelabras and patina of years past on the walls (or the appearance of). A large long bar at the back of the room with an oil painting hung behind. Service is a little patrician, but not hostile, while the pub itself has the feel of a place you’d like to spend a long time in, which is really the principle quality of any establishment.
