It's another one of those typical Franconian/Bavarian biergarten/brewery. This has been operating since early 1700's. It has a very nice view looking down on the city. You can spend a very relaxing afternoon in the shade of trees enjoying typical Franconian cooking. The menu may not be as extensive as other locations, but it's very satisfying. As a common experience around Bavaria, you may have to share a table since it's a very popular place and very crowded especially on the weekend during warm weather months. Also, as usual cash only.

We came to this place only because this place popped up first and happened to be the closest to us…read more I saw they take card and is good for children. Once we walked in the place was decently packed, however it was so quiet in here!! If we happened to fart the whole place would have heard it; it was THAT quiet. Everyone was whispering, and there was only one table left open, so we sat there. We noticed two other children in the place already had the high chairs and thankfully the last table was a booth. The menu has English below each item, so no need to guess or use google translate and the wait staff is also really nice. We both ordered the duck special. Supposed to be crispy duck with a cranberry, red cabbage risotto. Sounds really yummy and different right? Welllll it wasn't crispy, it was overly sweet and the taste didn't match the texture of the risotto. However my daughter loved the "risotto". We both were really excited about CRISPY duck. Well we got soggy duck with a whole lot of fat. I would come back, only to try the other meals. I wouldn't order the same thing again. Every dish that passed by was so colorful, decorative and looked hands down delicious. Also, I know it says kid friendly. But I personally didn't feel like it was kid friendly. It was a lot of older couples and groups in for lunch or drinks and every time my daughter did something everyone looked and rolled their eyes

Traditionelles "Brauhaus" (vor Ort direkt wird nix gebraut) in der Bamberger Altstadt. Die…read moreBierauswahl vom Fass beschränkt sich ausschließlich auf "Fremdbiere", von denen Jever Pils die größte Überraschung ist. Bitteres norddeutsches Pils in Franken? Daneben gibt es Zirndorfer Urhell (okay), Tucher Hefeweizen (okay) und das berüchtigte Schlenkerla Rauchbier, das man ein paar hundert Meter weiter auch in der Brauerei Schlenkerla gekommt. Als Brauhaus ist die Gaststätte somit uninteressant, allerdings gewinnt sie durch den schnellen, freundlichen Service am Tisch - selbst Samstag nachts während der Sandkerwa - und gesellige Atmosphäre. Wer Hausbiere probieren möchte geht besser ins Ambräusianum in der Nähe, oder zu Fässla oder in die Brauerei Klosterbräu. Diese drei bieten eigene - und gute - Biere an. Als Ausflugslokal ist "Hofbräu" aber voll in Ordnung.

Really nice touch. Good quality and nicely seasoned main meals. Mine was a little potato heavy but my chum's shrimp pasta dish was excellent. Reduced portion size would have left room for desert, as it was we were pretty stuffed and so nothing further could be sampled. A nice alternative to the meat heavy Bamberg options but certainly room for improvement.

This year we were visiting and met the owner, Robin, and had a fabulous visit. Had to come try the restaurant; it was one of the best meals while in Germany.
