Oi mate, fancy a Wenk?…read more
I'll get it out of the way now, the name is funny to English-speakers. Alright, as for the review: I think the place is solid, as long as you know what you're getting into. This is the place in Dortmund for a Schnitzel, some beer, and probably a football match. Better, in my opinion, than Zum Alten Markt across the Platz. At Wenkers they brew their own beer: a Schwarzbier, which I find pretty good, and then their Urtrüb, which I find kinda bland but which my German coworker insists is "süffig" (smooth? quaffable?). Also Kronen Pils is available because come on, you're in Dortmund, there's no escaping the Pilsners. Also Schöfferhofer Weizen but that's honestly one of the worst hefeweizens in my opinion. Hold out for a Paulaner, Weihenstephaner, or Maisel-Weisse if you're in Germany only briefly.
Uh, as for Schnitzel, I'm a Pfefferrahm kind of guy. Get a Schnitzel and some beers and consume until you're nice and belly-full.
