Latest reviews from Neustadt An Der Waldnaab

“Second place we visited in Neustadt - while for the Waldhauser you turn right on Freyung, for this one you turn left and don't cross the main street, hah. Normally you can't hit both on the same day, but we were there for Kirwa, which is the only exception. By its looks a fairly typical local tavern, not oozing traditional atmosphere as the other one in town, but the vaulted ceilings on the ground floor are fun, unless you hit your head on them. Maybe it was because there were less people and in a bigger area, but it seemed more neutral. Good, friendly service. Didn't go for food here (no time), but likely worth it as in other places. The Wolframstubn's Zoigl (2.80€) here was perhaps the most yeasty and least interesting of the three places I had it at, perhaps an older lot from the other two - but that's just random I reckon. All in all, a good place, with its own cool history, and I might give it a better shot next time if it's open, but not the most memorable one this time.“

“My first ever Zoigl place, after a pretty eventful Plzeň > Cheb (running as the train was late) > Marktredwitz (running as the train was late) > Weiden > Neustadt four-train ride. Yay! Once you're out on the... minimalistic train station, follow the street to the left as it winds down towards the center, across the Floß (hehe that rimes), and then accross the big Freyung street, and to the right till you hit it. Very traditional looking two-floor place with heaps of paraphernalia, particularly cozy in one of the downstairs room, with some of the friendliest folks around, especially since they were already expecting me, with Ryan, already there, telling them about me in advance hahahah. The people running the place are great, and doing a very good job at keeping everyone comfortable and served. Schoilmichl's Zoigl is still here, still great, at 2.50€ the cheapest of the trip (including another place with it in Neuhaus). Got to sample a touch of the Bratwurst and Sauerkraut, and that was some damn tasty Sauerkraut (and very good sausage ofc). The ambiance and service are beyond the 5/5 and 10/10 scale. If you stick here for a session, you just end up chatting with random people, at random tables around, and having a good time. It's actually striking how the atmosphere differs from so many Czech places, where you're as a non local / foreigner immediately looked at some times as an annoying foreign body, to be treated coldly and with suspicion - of course, not everywhere, but I guess that's the effect of the second half of the last century there. Here? No, you get a Servus and you get a Zoigl and you can spend hours here as people flow in and out - local or non-local? Guess by the accent. The first place of the trip and likely the best in some ways. Just remember, you don't go here just for the ticks, bruv. Pro tip: If you're downstairs, opening the window between the room with the bar and the room next to it helps internet connection if you really need it. :D“

“Zum Waldhauser is a short walk from Brucksaler, if you can find both of them open then good on you, but Waldhauser alone is worth the trek (if the beer is assumed to be consistent). At the time (Nov 2012) it was in remarkable shape, near 4.0 in quality, rustic and herbal lemon Noble hop character and sumptuous malt. The hallways are narrow, the locals are packed in tight and good beer and good vibes flow. Antlers and beer mugs and other such stuff adorning the wooden rafters as you expect in the countryside here. It was a cozy experience and I didn’t want to leave. The beer "Waldhauser Zoigl" is supposedly the Schoilmichl Zoigl from Nuehaus, which has been one of the best in Oberpfalz across three visits to the area.“

“Visited April 2012 with my parents. A traditionel Zoigl place, very local place and great atmosphere :-) The landlord served the beer for us, very keen to tell about his beer. At some point he wantet to know if we were local :-). Being easter they only served fish, which an elderly man was heating up on the bbq outside. Lots of stuff decorated the rooms, great deco. Easy to park nearby, go there if you are in the area, but you need to check if they are open, when you are in the area.. “

“another typically warm Zoiglstube experience. many-roomed interior with a boisterous local crowd. the Brucksaler zoigl was juicy, frothy and a little bit grainy. decent stuff, but across and down the street is the real winner in Neustadt an der Waldnaab: Zoiglwirtschaft Zum Waldhauser.“

“An old house on the Freyung, a wide and busy street. Several small rooms, lots of atmosphere. The Zoigl comes from Schoilmichl in Neuhaus, food is as always simple but good and cheap. Five minutes walk from the railway "station", bus stop almost in front.“

“Newly refurbished Zoiglstube, in the house of the last brewer of the Neustadter Kommunbrauerei (demolished 1961). Zoigl from the Wolframstub’n in Windischeschenbach. Close to the station of Neustadt, the end of a branch line from Altenstadt, remnant of the line to Eslarn, now a cycling path, the "Bocklradweg".“

“My first Zoigl experience - walked by at first not sure it was open, but luckily decided to come back. A group of local men were standing out front - I kind of expected them to give me a "Who the hell are you?’ reception but they greeted me warmly. The place was packed - luckily I was alone. Two stories consisting of 3 tiny rooms downstairs and a slightly larger room upstairs. Very community oriented atmosphere with everyone obviously enjoying themselves. I was served very quickly which was greatly appreciated due to my wife waiting for me at the shops down the street. Just a pleasant overall experience.“

“Tiny stubl oozing character and country charm. Is the family house, opened the public when the Zoigl is ready. We sat outside in the small patio, but inside looked warm and welcoming. Gigantic portions of food for less than 5 euro were witnessed but we were unfortunately not hungry. Local hard water leads to a minerally, flavorful Zoigl.“
