Gänstaller (Beer Store)
HAFENSTR. 37
“Ordered from their online shop in August 2021. Shipping was fast, about 2 days after my order the package was sent and has arrived safely and well packed. Good website, easy to navigate, order and payment process the same as many other websites (Mikkeller, Yankee&Kraut, Hoppebräu etc.). Selection is Gänstaller only, however I was able to order their whole range (even their Onyx Imperial Stout!). Shipping is quite expensive (about 9 EUR), but the prices for their exceptional beers are very reasonable. Would order again.“

“Visited 05.08.21. Around four of their own beers on draught. Exceptionally slow service - I had to find the waiter to order my beer and I had to make an effort to pay. The beer is good though.“

“Visited 05.08.21. Five regular beers on tap and one rotating. They also have a good selection of bottled beer. All of which are traditional German. Friendly service. A bit away from the main tourist track.“

“Visited 03.08.21. Two of their own smoked beers on draught and two in bottles. A Bamberg institution! Solid traditional German food served until 10 pm. Many rooms with seating indoors.“

“New and clean. Traditionel styles for the region. Marzen, Export and zwickl. Clean but fairly bland. A busy waitor who was a little snappy and bothered that we asked for 0,25cl beers. Easy to reach but dont go unless you have more than a week the city. So much better beer around.“

Weyermann Fan Shop (Beer Store)
BRENNERSTRASSE 17-19
“Fun little stop right next to the factory. Most of their own beers were also available at the nearby Rewe, but as mentioned by others there’s also a shelf of brews from Weyermann “customers”, including a couple breweries I hadn’t seen anywhere in Germany before. Good source for beer paraphernalia. The very friendly service gifted us a couple of free bottles.“

Taschenbier (Beer Store)
JUDENSTR. 13
“Neuer kleiner Bierladen in der ehemaligen Metzgerei Brand, um die Ecke vom Bamberger Klosterbräu. Kleine aber erlesene Auswahl an Bieren, darunter auch Raritäten, z.B. Biere der Brandholz Brauerei. Sieht sehr nach einem Provisorium aus (Zwischennutzung?). Der Gedanke, Bier in Taschen zu verkaufen, überzeugt mich allerdings nicht. Dennoch einen Besuch wert, wenn man ohnehin in Bamberg ist. (Besucht 8.4.2021.)“

“Visited in November 2019. Lovely to visit such an atmospheric place that happens to brew great beers too. Was quiet when I visited but I sensed it being a cosy place during quiet times and a lively place during busier times. The fact it is opposite Keesmann is a welcome bonus! Beer heaven would look something like this.“

Gänstaller (Beer Store)
HAFENSTR. 37
“This review is for the online store. I placed an online beer order from here February 2021, with a glass. Easy to navigate webshop, good prices, and some glassware also available, all items are cans which I guess is quite unusual for a Franconian brewery. I picked up a selection of 6-7 beers, all different styles and some not quite what you would imagine for such a traditional region. Prices were very good, goods arrived within a working week *I suspect that they may have arrived earlier but I think that I ordered on a Friday. Extremely well packaged, nice little signed postcard from the brewery owners and a few beermats thrown in. Very impressed and based on previous ratings for their beers I suspect that this may be the first of many orders.“

Kachelofen (Restaurant)
OBERE SANDSTRASSE 1
“Visited just before they were about to close. They were kind enough to let us have some wursts from the place down the road cause everything else was closed for food. Had a decent Fassla Weizla. 4 taps sounds about right. Wouldn't say it's a must visit, but was very handy for a last drink before hotel.“

Brauerei Keesmann (Restaurant)

“Located just across the Mahr's. We've visited later in the evening and the place was quite full. Solid selection of 4 to 5 beers with decent quality. If you're in the area worth checking out.“

“Visited later in the evening. Large and a bit dark biergarten with what seemed like a lots of room inside (not used due to the pandemic situation). Selection was limited to 4 beers, but the quality was bit disappointing. Especially after walking for about 20 minutes to it.“

“Medium sized store located in the town center. Neat store with 3 or 4 fridges in the back. Solid mix of German traditional beers and some modern styles from newer breweries. Also decent selection of imports, however in the age of webshops prices are just too high. Service seemed friendly enough and we got expired barley wine for free. Worth checking out, we scored few interesting beers.“

Brauerei Fässla (Restaurant)
OBERE KÖNIGSSTRASSE 19
“Visited in the early evening. We were seated in the small biergarten, but in normal circumstances there seem to be plenty of room to seat inside. We were seated next to the friendly local. Smoking is allowed in the biergarten which wasn't a plus for us. Beer selection was limited to two beer neither of which was particularly good. One of the classics in Bamberg I guess, but wasn't that thrilled.“

Wilde Rose Keller (Restaurant)
OBERER STEPHANSBERG 49
“Huge but still crowded beergarden (on a summer evening). There are lots of old trees that divide the area a little bit, so it doesn't feel like oktoberfest 2.0. Prices were not so high. Beer was good. Nothing wrong with coming here.“

UNTERE SANDSTRASSE 14
“250M down the road from Schlenkerla. A bit more options than the average Bamberg bar besides of Abseits. But most in bottles which is meaningless since kellerbier needs to be drank fresh. Hummel, Griess, etc which is cool, but take time out your calendar and cruise a little out of the city and drink them fresh at the brewery.“

“Centrally located in Bamberg. About the same size as the one I know in Frankfurt. Good selection of craft and regional brews, although the latter are probably found cheaper elsewhere. Service was friendly. The noon opening hour prevented me from hitting the shop on the day we left town.“

“Sat out in the Biergarten on a Monday night. Every table but the one we took was full, although in the time of Covid-19 that doesn’t take more than about 10 parties. A few local beers were on tap, but nothing you wouldn’t find in a dozen other places. The bottle selection was more interesting, including a few from smaller, regional breweries. On tap of that were a few Belgian classics: Rochefort, Chimay and so on. Picked up a couple ticks. A decent stop but by no means a must. Service was friendly and reasonably attentive.“

WUNDERBURG 10
“Visited on a Monday night at about 7 and were lucky to get a spot in the Biergarten without having to queue up. Shortly after our arrival, there was pretty much permanently a line. Did not eat but drank two beers, the Helles and a Pils, both of which were far above average for the style and pleasant drinking on a warm summer evening. Service was friendly if a bit inattentive.“
