Pork shoulder
Suzie L.

This is truly a pub that is frequented by locals. We were the only English speaking tourists there and there was not an English menu in sight. Even though it was so busy, the waitress took some time to talk to us and help us with our beer and food choices - which were excellent!! Big thumbs up for the pork shoulder!! The rauchbier here is a little less smoky that the rauchbier served at Schlenkerla and there is one "rauchfrei" beer option available.

Beer is good

Nothing too special about Spezial. This was stop three on our Brewery Tour of Bamberg. It is a little out of the way from the historic/tourist friendly part of Bamberg, but still a part of town worth seeing. While beer was good and food looked nice, this place lacked the charm of the other stops on the brew tour. Service was slow even by European standards and the surroundings weren't as quaint as other brew halls. Tip: If on brewery tour check it out, since another stop is across the street. If just visiting Bamberg for a weekend, no need to stop here.

Braurei Spezial in Bamberg, Germany
Laura O.

The smoked beer is tasty!! Did not expect such goodness! The ambience is great too! There were a few old folks at a table next to us and they were playing a card game while enjoying their bier. Three other people were sat with us at our table and like everyone else in the brewery, were very friendly- they were locals and there was a debate amongst them as to which braurei was the best in Bamberg and one of the guys argued that Spezial is the best. Spezial got my vote with one sip of their smoked bier! We did not eat anything here however the schnitzels we saw being brought out were huge. If you have not tried smoked bier, I highly recommend you give it a shot at Brauerei Spezial. Yummy!

Nach dem erfolgten Pächterwechsel waren wir mit einer kleinen Gruppe in der Kommunbräu....ehrlich…read moregesagt aus Neugierde. Das Bier ist ja bekanntermaßen noch das gleiche. Also haben wir uns nen Platz im Biergarten gesichert. Schön war...das die Ansprache durch den Service schnell und freundlich war. Nach dem ersten Schluck sahen wir uns dann etwas mehr um. Der Biergarten ist übersichtlich...aber dafür in keinem optisch guten Zustand. Tische und Bänke sind stark beansprucht ....und von der blauen Farbe sind an manchen Garnituren nur noch Reste. Beim umsehen innen....ein ähnliches Bild.Die schwarz lackierten Stühle und Bänke haben schon ziemliche Gebrauchsspuren. Bei naturbelassenem Holz in braun würde das vermutlich nicht so stark auffallen....aber bei schwarz sticht das schon ins Auge. Unsere bestellten Essen kamen zeitnah.Vom Gemüsecurry über Schnitzel und Schäuferla gegrillter Haxen war alles vertreten.Die gegrillte Haxe und das Schulterstück hatten wohl die gleiche,etwas dünne Soße. Grundsätzlich was das Essen in Ordnung....portionsgröße normal...aber alles in allem war es nur Standart....Nichts besonderes. Der Feinschliff ...und das Auge für Details fehlt.Und der Biergarten direkt vorm Eingang ist nunmal auch ein Aushängeschild....was aber einer überarbeitet bedarf.

Absolutely one of the pubs I have been; they brew their own beer and its fantastic! The food was…read morejust as good and the price was amazing...we have ribs, sausage, and various cheeses that were great. Anywhere near here on your travels do stop in you will not regret it!

The hotel, bed, location was great but our service and experience was awful. We thought we had a…read moregreat time up until check-out. I always write notes in Hotels.com to say we have 2 dogs. At check-in they failed to look at the notes until he saw them later. The room was away from the hotel down the street and only had street parking on the main strip which was not a problem at all. We did not mind walking to and from our room as we always walk the dogs at 7am and then before we leave anywhere. The bathroom was large with a long hallway and tile so we kept the dogs inside this room with their beds and water only. They slept while we were away at dinner, daily. We were there for 2 nights only and we left them unattended for only 4 hrs total and walked them before bed time. At check-out, they tried to charge us an extra 200€ for damages. We had already paid 100€ as a fee. The maid said that they shat all over the beds, the bedroom floors, etc.. The maid was not conveniently there to ask of her but her other manager conveyed the message. We told them that our dogs do not release in the rooms, and it was not at all possible because they were in the bathroom. They looked away and the other manager looked at the manager that relayed the complaint and she just left the room. She clearly lied and was trying to get more money from the Americans. Her manager came and we asked them to walk with us to the room to show them and let them smell it. They left a vacuum in our room and we even cleaned up any hair left behind. He refused to go to the room. He refunded us the charges and apologized. We asked if there was another dog in that area and they said yes. They mentioned only one dog did it. I said we had Two dogs so they clearly confused us with the other guest with a dog. It was an ok experience up until the very end. Due to that experience, we will never stay here again. We have never had any issues with our dogs. I do not recommend this place for that reason.

This place was my first experience with real Bavarian food. After searching Yelp for authentic…read moreBavarian food that was close to me (I didn't want to drive too far in the snow), I found this place. Most of the recommendations said I should try the roasted pork shoulder (oberpfälzer schäuferl), so I did. Comes with a huge piece of pork shoulder and potato dumpling (knödel) in a dark gravy. That dish, paired with a Sperber-Bräu beer made for food coma time.
