Choice/ Quality of Drinks	❤️❤️❤️❤️ Almost no right to have 3 excellent Franconian beers on tap until you check where you are, and it becomes entirely normal. This is not the average city on that front. A competent back bar covering most bases in a functional manner.
Style/ Décor	❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Described as a ‘Weinstube’ on the sign, enter to find that the purpose of the place has somewhat morphed over the years. Any original refinement has been replaced by a bohemian setting of characterfully faded wood fittings, off-centre artwork, nooks and crannies and old musical instruments not unlike a brown café, later bar in Berlin or Kazimierz bar.
Atmosphere/ Character	❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Superb ‘place to be’. Verve and vibrancy which is notoriously difficult to drum up, some bars have it, some don’t, and this one really, really does.
Amenities/ Events	❤️❤️❤️ Live music, snacks, limited outdoor seating, games
Value For Money	❤️❤️❤️ Fair prices, nothing overly stellar value either.
Description	It seems a little off-kilter to describe a wine bar on the main old town street in Bamberg as an ‘insider tip’, but there’s a feeling that many visitors to the city simply would not think of going here, instead defaulting to the many beer halls and brewery pubs. Secondly, as it opens at 7pm by which time many day trippers are already setting out to leave. All cities need – and deserve an informal bolthole to let your hair down and have fun, particularly Bamberg with its arch-traditional Wirtshauses. Pizzini darts in like a bolt from the blue with its ramshackle layout and atmosphere more akin to a brown café, Kazimierz bar or Berlin kneipe, a late opening operation servicing people who want to carry on their socialising until the early hours. Truly informal with a particular feeling of verve and vibrancy that is very difficult to force. Being Franconia there are of course superb beer options alongside a decent enough suite of alternatives, meaning the product and experience ticks the right boxes. Find a preferred nook among the aging wood fittings, artwork, musical instruments and battered furniture and chat, plot and party until home time. What a bar!
