“Visited during the fabled Bamberg Jolly of January 2014. Sat outside. Nice courtyard. Homey, cozy interior. Decent beers, tried three that were available. Not a stunner but worth a visit if you're in town.“

“Large, typical bavrian, beerhall with nice beergarden in the courtyard next to the Bruckmüller/Falk Brauerei. The service was very friendly and chatty, the meals (wild mushrooms (cepes)) were outstanding, the selection good and the Quality of the beers excellent. A must when You are in this nice town!“

“Occupies the combined buildings which are home to the Bruckmuller / Weissbierbrauerei Falk. Large casual drinking area and serving counter as you enter which also gives access to the secluded beer garden. There is a partitioned restaurant for eating. Service was friendly and the beers were good. City centre location.“

“A 8.50 Euro taxi ride from Amberg railway station. There is a bus that runs up here from Amberg but it does not operate on Sundays. Very little English spoken but the hosts are extremely polite and patient. Beer and food were on good form. Beware the restaurant is closed Mondays and Tuesdays.“

“Visited on 14th July 2017. Large venue with lots of rooms and an extensive garden to the rear. It’s around 10 mins from the station on the other side of the line from the town. The interior of the venue is very traditional in decor, lots of dark wood, the beer garden was pretty nice and spacious. Decent array of beers, service and food good. Prices decent. Solid venue and added bonus of a Getrankemarkt next door to pick up some bargain bottles.“

“Brauereigaststätte and Brauerei and drinks-market not just a few steps outside of Amberg (around 2 miles), offering almost the whole range of the Sterk Brauerei. Nice beergarden. If the weather is bad or You are in a hurry, try the drinks-market on the premises (Mo+Wed-Fr 9-17, Sat 9-13, Tue closed).Worth a litte detour...“

“Loads of beers from around Amberg, quite cheap. Not much service, just get the beers and pay. Very limited supply of German craft beers. Worth a detour.“

“A massive German beer Mecca. Loads of interesting stuff, all at absolute basement prices (especially if you’re coming from the UK). Neatly laid out so easy to peruse. Well lit. Not much is refrigerated, so keep that in mind. If you are in the area, this is definitely the place to go to load up. It’s not too far from the local train station, which is handy.“

“Is as much a restaurant as a tap room. Service is quite good and friendly. Only drawback was the weather did not allow us to enjoy the beirgarten, November you know. Selection of beers was not bad for a local/ regional brewer in Bavaria.“

“Located in the historic part of the city.nice place with a large courtyard/biergarten. Service was friendly. Menu was typical German fare. They have 7-8 beers to choose from the the keller bier being a cut above the others. Nice place to check out if you are ever in Amberg.“

“Visited during Jolly to Bamberg 2014. Huge beershop not that far from the train station. Loads of local beers and pretty nice prices. I Think we bought around 30 beers for 24 euros. Definately Worth a visit when in the area.“

“Visited during Jolly to Bamberg 2014. Just made it inside the door as we were told the place was booked and we could not get any beers. After some negotiation, we were allowed to sit outdoors (in January...) and have some beers. Quite lousy service, and beers were not amazing. I dont plan to visit again.“

“Largeish getrankemarkt about a 5 minute walk from the city walls and a little more to the HBF. Visited on day 1 of the post Xmas Bamberg Jolly, 24/01/14 around 5pm. The place has an 80’s UK supermarket feel too it, bare floors, crates and pallets dotted about but we werent here for aesthetics lets be clear! Good range of national and local/regional offerings a good 100+ different beers on show. Service was decent enough, no one to ask for help just a functional beer supermarket with an efficient cashier. Locals were starting to turn up in force bearing crates of empties as we were leaving, ready to be refilled for another weekends drinking! Prices, as typical in a German getrankemarkt are very cheap. We picked up over 30 bottles for about €24! Well worth the visit if in town and as others have mentioned the Amberg breweries are well represented.“

“After some negotiations we were allowed to sit outside and sample some beers while preparations were being made inside. Not really worth going to unless you happen to pass by. Beer isn’t very good, service not very friendly.“

“Didn’t get a good look at the interior here, as they were preparing for a private function and we were compelled to sit outside to sample their beers, of which there were 3 on tap, two of them awful diacetyl-bombs and one passable Helles. Service was rather unfriendly as well. Grab the ticks and move on.“

“Large multi-roomed restaurant a short walk from central Amberg. Pils and kellerbier are probably the best beers to be found in town, in my humble opinion. 8 or so different beers total available during my visit but I didn’t get to more than those two and was perfectly happy with that decision. You’re going to walk past the Toom Getrankemarkt on the way there, so it’s worth it to step our of central Amberg for a short session.“

“German gaststätte a little bit cleaned up or modernized, yes. Three beers on tap including the pils which I found spot-on for Bavaria - moderately hoppy, clean, bright, light-bodied and simple, but delicious.“

Schiessl Wirtshaus (Restaurant)
UNTERE NABBURGER STRASSE 8
“Fairly large complex housing the gaststätte. Three draft beers available (Nov 2011) including the pils and zoigl. All were pretty rough and unclean, which surprises me since these are brewed at Winkler and given the relatively high quality of the Winkler pils you can find just down the street. Nice folks, though. Wouldn’t say don’t visit as Amberg is so small you should be able to hit every beer-related business in town in only a couple of hours. But this place certainly isn’t a destination.“

“Modern interior split between the bar/restaurant and the coffee shop. Helles, Dunkel and Weisse on tap during my visit in November 2011, with 3-4 bottles available to-go. Beer was pretty plain and dull.“

“Traditional Gaststätte (former brewery) in a beautifully renovated building with courtyard. Have their own beers brewed for them by Winkler, whose tap is on the same street. More a pub, but with food.“

“This is actually my favorite brewery so far in the immediate Graf area. Delicious German and non-traditional food. The beers are amazing and its in a great location for an after meal walk.“

“Very nice brewery/restaurant/hotel near Hohenfels. I arrived in Germany in May 2007, and within just a few days (that first weekend), I had made my way to this hotel on a business trip. They served up my first Munich dunkel (Kupfer Spezialbier), and I was forever hooked. I purchased a case of this brew, and I continue to do so each time I pass through Amberg (about 3-4 times a year). They also brew up a wide variety of beers, and even provide them in gift packs through one of the outlet stores located there in the hotel. The food is wonderful, and the hotel rooms are very clean. This is where I ALWAYS go whenever I’m in the area.“

“Nice setting off the road, feels very rural and out of the way but is walking distance from Amberg (about 30 mins maybe?). Tiny beer garden out front. Beers not so good tho...it is now referred to as "the diacetyl place."“

“Iliked this place and went there three times in two days. The selection is not wide but it has a good offering for a southern german brewpub. Music on one evening and good fun food. Amberg has only a few real brewerys operating desoite claim of having 11, and this one is a good one with central location“
