My friend and I inadvertently ended up at Goldhopfen after trying to go to Stoned, and we were…read morehappy that we made this mistake. The beers at Goldhopfen were cheap and good; the bartender was very interesting and clearly had a passion for service and bartending. We each had a couple of the local Weiße Elster pale ales and sat out at a small table on the sidewalk. Although we didn't spend much time inside, it looked like there was a variety of games to play and areas to sit. We were also able to get some beers to-go upon leaving. I hope Goldhopfen stays in business and gains some traction in this neighborhood - it's a great place for a chill night!

Goldhopfen is pretty much the go-to place for draft craft beer in Leipzig. They usually have at…read moreleast four craft beers on draft and others in bottles. They have a 10 euro 4-taster flight of all the draft beers that is a pretty good deal and they always have some kind of IPA on draft. Last night the draft beers were IPA, pale ale, lager and pils. The vibe of this place is very relaxed. It almost feels like you are in your friends basement. There is plenty of seating inside and also a little outdoor patios space. The bar also stays stocked up on a variety of board games that you can play. Overall a very relax, chill hang-out vibe.

Generally if I can see through it, I'm not drinking it. Even though my initial education of the beverage was through a German microbrewery, I somehow ended up as a stout drinker. But the German's do make Schwarzbier which is a damn great alternative to my stout ways. Kostritzer on draught is some damn tasty stuff. Hail to the beer that absorbs the light of day

The food was amazing. They lean into the historical atmosphere of the surrounding area. Just down…read morethe street from The Battle of Nations monument. Wonderful service, quick and clean.

There is outside seating and since it was nice weather that is what we did. The restrooms are located on the third floor inside and I could see that the beer house is quite large. There is a menu in English if you ask. The beer list is not super large, about 5-6 beers as I remember, all unfiltered which I thought would be a problem but it was not. I ordered a half liter of the pilsner which was quite nice. In fact, nice enough to have another! The food menu is large and from the different things people got it seems to be high quality. A lot of people ordered white asparagus with hollandaise sauce, another person got a pizza-type meal. I opted for a more traditional dish: bratwurst with mashed potatoes. I was hoping to find German potato salad but it was not on the menu. My dish was very tasty and delicious. The dark beer sauce that was over the brat and potatoes was one of the most delicious sauces I ever had. It was outstanding. The only thing I did not like was that the brat was sliced, not a link. The price was a bit high I thought at 13.90 euro but not outrageously overpriced. If you sit outside people will smoke. That's just the way it is. The place was quite popular and a lot of fun. Service was very good. I highly recommend this place for beers and dinner.
