Gänsadieb in Dresden serves solid German fare in a calm, classy setting. The fried sausage with…read morepickled cabbage and mashed potatoes was well prepared -- sausage crisp and flavorful (8/10), cabbage nicely balanced, and potatoes as expected. The fried pork stuffed with ham and cheese, served with fries and roasted vegetables, was hearty and rated a 7/10. Service was polite and efficient. In typical German fashion, the staff mentioned it could take up to an hour - customary way of managing expectations for seating or serving. I found this to be good practice, and in our case the dishes arrived in about 15 minutes, Sunday crowd at 5 pm. The ambience was quiet and subdued, with a classy feel. Even though it's a bar, there were no groups, likely thanks to it being a Sunday night. Overall, Gänsadieb offers reliable German dishes with thoughtful service and a relaxed atmosphere, making it a good choice if you're looking for hearty food without the usual bar crowd.

From the owner: Seit nun mehr 45 Jahren gibt es den Studentenclub Bärenzwinger in Dresden…read more Generationen von Studenten und Jugendlichen sind hindurchgegangen, haben getanzt und gelauscht, gefeiert und getrauert, getrunken und diskutiert sowie gelacht und geweint. Vieles hat sich im Laufe der Zeit getan. Strukturelle Veränderungen blieben nicht aus. Aus dem einstigen FDJ-Studentenclub ist einer der ältesten und schönsten Studentenclubs Dresdens geworden. Räume wurden neu erschlossen und mussten wieder abgegeben werden - 2006 wurde im Hof ein Schallschutzschirm installiert, um nun die schönste überdachte Open Air Location Dresdens zu sein. Die Schäden der Hochwasser 2002 und 2013 konnten dank zahlreicher Helfer und Spender behoben und schnell konnte der normale Betrieb wieder aufgenommen werden. Immer waren und sind es die Mitglieder des Studentenclub Bärenzwingers, die Veranstaltungen planen und durchführen und so das einzigartige Flair des Hauses prägen.

And this is an IRISH Pub. The owner is Irish and super friendly. There are Jam Sessions on Sunday evenings. There is tons of outdoor seating - in front and a big patio in the back. Downstairs is a spot to watch a match or play darts or have a private party. Great whiskey selection. Grateful to have walked by and find this spot!

Shamrock? More like sham. The staff was incredibly unwelcoming. We went 2 days in a row trying to…read moreget a seat, and both times they were incredibly rude to us. The food looked great, I would have loved to try it. The ambiance was nothing short of negative. Again, unless you have a reservation don't even bother. They will treat you like the scum of the earth.

Wish we had the same positive experience as others...to be fair it seemed as if our waitress was…read moreperhaps new as others seemed to be helping her keep up. After waiting a short while to order our drinks arrived quickly and our appetizers arrived shortly thereafter our main dishes must have been forgotten about as it was probably 45 min before they arrived(after we were finished with appetizers); someone else picked up our appetizer plates and then must have asked about our food because they delivered our chicken and fish n chips shortly after. Chicken covered in ham, tomatoes and cheese needed seasoning- salt and pepper could go a long way it seemed as if the ham, cheese and tomato was meant to season the chicken. Potatoes were well cooked and the salat on the plate i wasn't aware of when I ordered as I ordered a side salat as my appetizer, it was well dressed but had huge pieces of lettuce and cucumbers but nothing my knife wasn't able to fix. Hubby had fish n chips and was a bit surprised to see the skin still on the fish and batter was mushy on the inside including a few pin bones. Overall said it was okay. Doubtful we would come back here as there are so many places to choose from and while we understand European service is on the casual side of things we certainly didn't expect to spend so long here especially for a mediocre experience.

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.

Cute little bar/restaurant a short walk across the river…read more The food was incredible! I found Red Rooster on trip advisor when I typed in "oldest bar in Dresden". We only went for a drink and to check it out. But when I went to the bathroom I walked by the kitchen and poked my head in, what the chef was cooking up looked and smelled incredible! All 5 of us ordered a dish. Every single entrée was amazing. Best food I've had in Germany. The chef came to our table to see if we liked everything, we asked him what was in the cucumber dill salad (it was amazing) and with his thick German accent he told us the ingredients and how to make it. This guy can cook! And he was really nice. I seriously want to go back this morning to eat breakfast but they don't open until 5pm! About the bar. Great vibe. Very cute and helpful bar tender, she was great, fast, we always had a beer in front of you! Only bad thing, I hate the smell of cigarette smoke and it's a smoking bar. I'd of eaten outside but it was cold! It's an awesome place if you want to smoke indoors. Great find in Dresden! A MUST for food not just a drink.
