Brauhaus 1516 Augsburg

No Longer In Business

Not a brewpub anymore despite still having the trappings of one, serve beer from Meckatzer and Gutmann. Slightly lived-in interior, Bavarian/schwabian fare. Live-musik location.

Not a bad spot for a beer. Came here quite early on a snowy weekday late morning (hey, I’m on vacation). Have three of their own beers on, and a few typical guests. Weißbier was solid hefe. Had a weißwurst brunch, which was very good, and other food on the menu looked nice. Clean and spacious, if a little impersonal. Considering that it’s fairly posh and right next to the station, the prices are quite reasonable. €3.60 for a half litre of their beer. Nothing stellar, but by no means a bad place.

Cozy traditional bavarian (or svabian?) "wirtshaus". Some beers from tap, some from bottle. Nothing exceptional here. Exceptional however is the proximity to the train station. You can maybe leave only 5 minutes before boarding your train. Also they have 0,3 liters of everything on the taps. So you can buy your train ticket 15 minutes before boarding, go into the pub, tick some beers, and finally still get your train.

By all means, make this the last stop before you board the train. Just one house brew when I was in. Cavernous, not very cozy. Outside seating, but no a beer garden. If you market yourself as a brewpub, you should try harder.

Nice surroundings in which to imbibe. Beers good especially the Meckatzer Zwickel. Food typically Bavarian and in huge portions! Prices are lower than most places yet still good quality.

Well, not the best place I was during my Bavarian trip, but since Thorbrau and Bayrisch Brau were closed that day, I ended up drinking my daily three beers there. I had the zwickel and the dunkles, which were not bad. This restaurant is located right inside the Hauptbahnhof, you can’t not see it. Before your train departs, it could be a nice option to have a beer
