Yelp said it was open but when I got there, it is obviously a warm weather place with only outdoor seating.

Good Biergarten just across the street from Le Meridien Hotel in downtown Stuttgart. The menu is strictly in German, but the staff can help make recommendations for those who speak the Queen's. read more

One of worst rudest places I have ever been to The attitude was ridiculously condescending to non locals. The food was trash don't waste your time and money here!! read more

I fell in love with the Biergarten im Schlossgarten - aka Stuttgart's unofficial (but totally official) biergarten the first summer I was here, because the Stuttgart 21 rail project had broken ground, when it was surrounded on all sides by a beautiful park full of trees and often hippy protesters living in the trees (to protest their eventual removal). As the previous reviewer noted, it seems odd that the biergarten today is "next to a treatment facility" - well, no it's next to a construction site, as they're building a massive new train facility underneath the area. It does detract from the beauty and peace the biergarten once enjoyed, at least on one side. However, the biergarten is still the biergarten, and it's still the only proper Bavarian-style biergarten in Stuttgart, it's still a 5-minute walk from the main train station, or even less from the Staatsgallerie U-Bahn stop. It's also in the middle Schlossgarten, so it's the perfect break from biking, walking, running, or whatever you're doing between the Neckar river and the Mitte in the "Green U" of Stuttgart. Pluses: -You can get beers in 3 sizes - small (0.3 liter), halbe (0.5 liter) or a mass (1 liter!!) If you live in Stuttgart, ask for a "bierpass" - every time you buy a mass of bier, you get a stamp towards a mass at the Sonja Merz tent at the Volksfest in the fall! -Proper benches under proper chesnuts trees - watch out in the fall, you might get hit! -Public viewings of major football tournaments (better camp out a bench hours in advance of the match!) -Fast self-service counter for food and beer -You can bring your own food -No better place to be on a sunny afternoon or warm evening -They have appelmost (a kind of apple cider nobody but me likes) on tap! -Live music on weekends and some weeknights in summer Minuses -Not the cheapest place to drink -The food is not that good and not as cheap as you'd expect. Yet one always gets hungry after a few biers in the open air, right? My advice is to stick to basic things like wurstsalat, griebenschmalzbrot, obazsta, etc. The more complicated the dish, the less appetizing it's likely to be. -Unpredictable hours, especially in the spring and fall, when they close if it's not sufficiently warm outside. Even on warm nights, they tend to close at 11pm, sometimes earlier if the staff just wants to go home. They can be a bit rude about it. Overall though, this is my happy place. You'll find me here at least twice a week from April - early October (when they close for the season). Every visitor I've taken here has fallen in love with it to. It just sucks there's not a better place to eat nearby (bring a picnic if you can manage it - maybe from the Markthalle?) Special tip: Around 10pm at night, they try to get rid of food, so all dishes are 2 for the price of 1. Sometimes they ring a bell to advertise it, sometimes they don't - so if it's after 10pm, ask! read more

You know, I don't give out too many 5-star reviews but Germany is just killing that for me. This is my 4th 5-star review since I've been here. I had always wanted to go to a real German biergarten and with the Schlossgarten Stuttgart I have been able to do just that...several times! In fact, as I type this now, I am filled with the joy generated by 2 half-liter beers from this very biergarten. I've been in Stuttgart about 3 weeks and today has been the most beautiful of days here in Germany. It's in the 60s outside and everyone is out enjoying the beautiful day, and since it is a beautiful day, the biergarten is open. You do tease me, though, Biergarten. I have no idea when you will be open. Time after time I walk by on my way home from the Hauptbahnhof and you are closed, but on certain magical days, the doors are open and you welcome me with golden deliciousness. Centered right in the Schlossgarten, surrounded by trees, is the Schlossgarten Biergarten. It is very simple. Go to the window, request a beer, get your beer, and then sit down to enjoy it. All I can do is thank you, Germany, for the wonderful beers you have and for serving them in a great environment. 5 buzzed stars! read more

Well, you can't get any more German than a biergarten, amirite? And, the immense biergarten in the midst of the Schlossgarten, just past the HptBf - does not disappoint. Excellent beer, food and people watching makes for a most enjoyable experience. The only reason I'm taking away a star is because out of the ENTIRE park, they placed the biergarten next to some sort of treatment facility, which stands blue and intrusive, right next to the facility. It's bizarre and ill-planned. The previous review was correct, determing when anything in Germany is actually open requries extra-sensory perception and patience. As far as I've gleaned - biergartens, in particular are open dependent on the weather. So, take that as you will. Oh and get the schnitzel. Yum! read more

Awesome biergarten in Stuttgart! We went on a warm day to watch the Euro game and it was a great experience. Lots of tables, shade, and people to meet. Food was okay, but the beer and atmosphere made up for it! It is cash only, and remember to return your mug to get 2 euros back. read more

Get off the train and walk right into the park. About a 5 minute walk down the path and poof your at a wonderful Biergarden. There is a nice restaurant (carry out on a tray style) with traditional german food. Or if you just want a Brat there is a cool cat runnin a micro grill with great Rotewurst, bratwurst and putenbrust. If you don't know what those are, go try them and find out. Only down side, it's weather dependent because it's outside. But that's also an upside. read more

Love love love this beer garden! My cousin brought us here to watch a couple games of the soccer mundial going on right now. The vibe is so chill, everyone hanging out having conversation and of course sippin' on a beer! Food was okay, a bit overpriced but still good- if you're not hungry, I'd probably just stick to a beer. read more

There's a few bars along the edge of this park in central Stuttgart... it's awesome! You can sit outside, admire the architecture and order one of those gigantic ceramic stein's of beer. On a hot day, you can go inside into the cool interior of the bar, and mingle with the hip crowd in Stuttgart. It's a must if you're visiting the city. read more

More of a cafe than a restaurant, slightly overpriced but still decent. Lots of covered seating at this venue. Next time i would probably just have drinks rather than the food. read more

The biergarten im Schlossgarten is a fun place to go on a nice day. It is in the middle of the park near the main train station. Sometimes there is live music, I am not sure what days. It might only be on some Sundays. If you don't want to sit at the beer garden, you can take your beers out into the park and lay on the grass or play a game. The price of a beer includes a pfand (deposit) so you can keep you glass if you want. The park gets busy when it is nice out and lots of people watching. Food (which is pretty good, ribs, sausages, french fries, chicken, salad, etc), and ice cream is also available. Everything is self services so you go up to the counter and order. Note there are different lines for food, ice cream, beer... so don't get stuck and a long food line when you are just getting beer. There is also a play jungle gym area right there for kids. There are large umbrella to get out of the sun if wanted. read more
