Beware of the parking scam there at Kreuzberg. I got a ticket stating that I didn't pay for parking…read moreand parking was a certain fee per hour. When I parked at the parking lot I had to register my license plate number and I paid for the full day. There was no option for an hour rate. There was a sign also that stated that parking all day is 3 euro. I paid the three euro and then a week later I got a parking ticket stating that the amount paid wasn't righ. This is stupid as hell because when you leave the parking lot you have to register again so that you pay the right amount. This didn't make sense because there was a sign that said 3 euro all day parking which I did paid. Also the letter didn't state how long I was there and how much I already paid. They want me to pay 45 euro for the fine. I would recommend that you don't park there or complain if you are being scammed or have been scammed. Also the parking is run by a private company which made this experience a bad one. I would recommend that Kreuzberg find another company to do business because this makes the Kreuzberg Monastery look bad and they will be getting more negative reviews.

Famous Kreuzberg beer. The monks know how to brew! The drive to the "kloster" or monastery can be…read morea little much, but make sure to stop in the many little towns in your way to it. Make sure you get some euro out, too. Once there, you park down the hill from the monastery (1.50 euro) and walk up. Secure a nice table and then make your way to the drinks booth and orders as much beer as you want (remember you are also paying for the deposit, if you want it back return the mugs and/or bottles). But if you are going to make a meal of it, grab a tray then head to the register and order your food. The menu are on the walls, but also online. Anything pork or sausage is great. If you aren't too hungry, get some bread, butter, and cheese and enjoy the beer. Roast pork is great so if you are hungry check it out! Sit inside if its cold or rainy, but beware its packed and you'll have to fight to just share a table. If its nice, go outside, the atmosphere is very pleasant, plus it won't be so loud. They offer tours and they have a gift shop inside. But if anything just have a beer, it won't dissapoint.

Searched for breweries to visit in Frankfurt and this is one of the only ones that showed up on…read moregoogle. First time visiting so did not know what to expect, but came away very satisfied with the beer, the venue and the service. They have a large outdoor beer garden and a small interior with about 4-5 tables. I ordered a flight to sample all of their beers. Came with their helles, a california ale, the frankfurt pale ale, bread beer and saline bitter. The bread beer was delicious and my favorite of the bunch. Light with a nice malty sweetness, the taste has undertones of cinnamon and christmas spices. I liked it so much I took home a growler (9 euro including 3 euro bottle deposit). I would definitely come again! Excited to try seasonal offerings once winter hits.

This is more than just a brewery, it's a delightful restaurant too…read more On a recent trip we'd expected a lot from the food at our accommodation and we were disappointed. We didn't anticipate much on visiting the brewery, but we were delighted. It's a funny old world, isn't it? The building isn't much to look at, but once you're inside it's cosy and warm, lots of wood and big tables and a nice welcoming atmosphere. The menu is varied, not just meat or meat, but there is meat. Hubby had the Haxe (see photo) and it was the best he's had in Germany. I had something lighter, black pasta with a seafood sauce, and it was really nice, freshly prepared, creamy sauce, and not overcooked, or over salted. Hubby's beer was a dark, toffee flavoured Shwarzbier, but I restricted myself to alcohol free, so not much to write about that. The service was fine, our meals arrived together. The only downside was the puddings. But then that's often the case in Germany, they just don't do good pud.

Spousal Unit and I joined a boatload of friends (literally!) for a Christmas Market cruise on Gate…read more1. (Review of the cruise to be posted separately - but it will be great!). While wandering the old town and it's very nice market (and enjoying abundent gluewhein mit flaming rum) we settled down for a nice lunch at Schlenkerla. Great choice! First, the smoked beer. Not my favorite, but hey, when in Bamberg ya gotta try it. The menu was not extensive but that's not a negative. I think too many restaurants offer too many choices with too little quality. Not a problem here. My friends ordered gulasche soup; a baked potato with salad combination plate (with two "small" baked potatoes drenched with what appeared to be fifteen pounds of butter); very tasty sausage with very, very tasty sauerkraut; and what I ordered: Bamberg style stuffed onion with mashed potatoes. I thought I was being virtuous. I must rethink my definition. The two very large onions were stuffed with a pork/bacon/bread/herb mix then roasted. Delicate taste that paired beautifully with mashed potatoes and smoked beer/beef stock sauce. Wunderbar! Look, I'm not a fan of tourist traps. Schlenkerla is certainly well-promoted to all of the tour operators, but most of the diners were obviously local. The menu was the same for all, as was the service. Excellent choice, and highly recommended.

Nice ambience and staff all speak English and are good at suggesting dishes to try! Beware portions are large - even by American standards!! My partner and I got 2 apps and a main to share and could not finish. We got the hand cheese music(?), beef sausage salad and a mushroom schnitzel. The schnitzel was by far the star of the show (as we should have expected)! The cheese is famous so we had to try it but sheep's cheese is a bit too strong for me and it had a harder texture than I prefer. My partner liked it though so I'd recommend giving it a shot if you're adventurous!! We also got their homemade lemonade which was a fizzy raspberry lemonade. Pretty good as well but wish I had tried one of their ciders!

They're trying to stick to the monastery beer vibe but it doesn't hit the mark in that regard. The old place was cozy and old and felt authentic, this place is new, loud and generic. Maybe it's not so bad and I'm sore because I miss the old place but it just doesn't feel the same. Service was good, food was good, beer cold but it still feels like every other place out there. Probably won't be back, unfortunately. If you like well lit, upscale, generic restaurants try this one out. The food is good but the ambience is off.
