The Schorsch`l lives since 1989 - the #1 beer choice in town!!!…read more This is the place where the locals go. Good beer: Hacker Pschorr, Beck's, Murphy's and Newcastle Brown Ale on tap + cigars and whiskey. Pair this with cool music (also live) and your result is the Schorsch'l. Nice for late nights. Eisenach may be dead, but this places lives!

This was the perfect, most comfortable bier garten we went to after traveling from Munich to Zeitz,…read moreGermany. Despite the Irish-inspired name, minimal English was spoken. To be honest, it added to the authenticity of Zeitz and its history; it truly felt like we were locals! The drink menu was very large with plenty of options for anyone's preference. I had some refreshing white wine (they literally filled it to the brim and I LOVED it) while my mother ordered a hefty sized cocktail and father ordered his beloved Guinness. My father and I ordered the same pork dish with a deliciously homemade tomato sauce drizzled over fresh sautéed vegetables (I told the servers in German I had a gluten allergy and they confirmed without the bread, this dish was GF). We loved it and it was a great, comforting meal that didn't leave us feeling heavy afterwards. My mother ordered goulash and ate it so quickly. We paid our bill at the bar near the entrance and the older woman who was helping us throughout the evening was so so nice. If you are in Zeitz and are craving a spot where you want to feel like a local, this is your place.

While touring Germany on my motorcycle I stayed overnight in Zeitz. Germany was playing Portugal in…read morethe world cup that night, I met the manager and he was delighted i came from Scotland where he has visited and worked. he was very friendly and looked after me all evening. the atmosphere was very good, the food excelent and the service could not have been better. the manager gave me a pub t-shirt as a fairwell gift when i left, I intend to send him a rangers shirt to compiment the football shirts already in his bar. I would reccomend this bar to anyone.

We thought it would be a good place to celebrate the Fourth of July, the American national holiday…read more Boy, were we wrong The waiter told us that our food would be ready in about half an hour, because the tables outside are busy (even though the inside of the restaurant was empty, except for us). It took over an hour. In that time, no one came to update us on the status of the order, apologize for the delay, or ask if we wanted something else to drink. In that hour, the kitchen could not manage to coordinate the time that all of the food came out. In our party of eight, two orders were wrong. One of those orders was blackened salmon. It was cooked at the ends, but was raw in the middle. Even though the person had already eaten from the piece of fish, the exact same piece of fish was thrown on the grill, cooked some more, then came back on the same plate extremely unhygienic. *We asked to talk to the manager twice, so that the restaurant would have the chance to make things right. The first time, the waiter came back, stating that the manager would not talk to us because she was busy. The second time we asked, the waiter refused to even look for the manager. We had to ask multiple times for the manager's name and restaurant address, to write a letter of complaint. We also had to ask the waiter multiple times for his name. What kind of a manager refuses to talk to customers?! I have never had such terrible customer service at a restaurant, ever. There are better meals to be had in Jena, anyway. Edit, 1:04 p.m., July 5: I tried to write to the restaurant via its Facebook page, merely writing that the restaurant had terrible customer service. My comments were immediately deleted, and the restaurant staff still did not try to get in touch with me via Facebook. My post (and a few comments from people who were also at the restaurant with me last night) was deleted, and the restaurant has still not tried to address the issue. Cheers, if you see this, I am still interested in your feedback. A letter to your manager is being sent out this afternoon Edit, 2:34 p.m., July 26: I sent a letter to the manager, asking for a response, and have still not heard anything back. In addition, I had to pass by the restaurant the other day. The waiter we had on July 4 was working and stepped on my dog, who was on leash. I don't know if this was a matter of incompetence or rudeness, but he didn't apologize for it, even though the yelp was pretty obvious.
