A great little pub/restaurant in Dresden's Neustadt. Another review I read referred to it…read more(positively) as a holdover from the East German days, which I'd disagree with- it's modern enough, although the prices/attitude are both enjoyably low. I had the bierbraten and a couple of their house brews- all good! I sauntered in around 6pm and didn't have trouble getting a seat, although it started getting more crowded around 7-8pm. Luckily it looked like table sharing was a common occurrence.

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.

I'm not sure why the drink prices on here are listed as moderate. They aren't, and you will get more than moderately tipsy for minimal money. The place is open super late. Or "early" in the daytime. I honestly can't remember ;) I do recall biking to work past there at like 8:30AM and seeing people sitting outside.
