Schlenkerla in Bamberg

Today we got 2 liters from the barrel (filled in a bottle we brought with us). It tastes very tasty, of course, but we think 3 euros for Seidla is a bit outrageous. Another Bamberg smoked beer brewery charges just 1.40 euros for half a beer. We would have loved to pick up again, but probably not for this price ......

Always happy, my favorite brewery in Bamberg. I like the smoked beer exactly as it is interpreted here, namely as strong and spicy as possible. The real hit for me, however, is always the Oak Doppelbock at Christmas time - this year, due to the corona, it can only be tasted from the bottle in Berlin, next year, as usual, in the local restaurant. Ambience, staff and prices are great. Despite (or because of?) The tourist masses, honest, down-to-earth and professional, just as we know and appreciate it in Franconia. Keep it up!

Traditional Franconian dishes in an impressive historic location. I recommend that because of the food, smoked beer and interior.

Had to visit the ‘Smoky beer brewery!’ Went for a drink and stood outside the front. You can order your beer from a hole in the wall just inside the entrance. Pay a deposit on the glass and drink away... The beer is so good. So much smokiness... The Seidla Märzen. So good. There is a small shop inside where you can buy bottles and souvenirs to take away. When back a second time for food. Sat inside on the left in a small area. Service was very quick and the waitress was friendly. I had the Bamberger Zwiebel in Rauchbiersoße (a stuffed onion with pork mince served with mash potato and Smoky beer sauce).... Yum. Basically a giant meatball in an onion. They had a seasonal beer special on, an Urbock. Enjoyed this too. I even brought beers to take away!

Staff great, food average, beer a matter of taste, mood good, atmosphere also good. Here you can quickly get into conversation with others and spend a sociable evening. The only shop where you could get something without a reservation.

I wonder if everyone who goes on a trip to Bamberg will stop here, but I think it is because the village is small. Most of them drink beer without snacks, but I was hungry so I ordered food and ate it. Most of the time, if you like Guinness, beer tastes like a bit of smoked flavor and the food is good German style food. You can only pay cash, so know in advance

The most popular brewery in Bamberg and undoubtedly the most visited place by beer lovers here! There are people all around it in queues most of the time...very happening spot!

The smoked beer is wonderful, the interior is beautiful & stunning, the food simple but locally inspired & sooo tasty, the staff are attentive & nice too. Met a group of locals who were so kind & entertaining. Best experience in Germany to date.

A magnificent setting from another time. Meal taken on Sunday noon, fast service and very good dishes for a very affordable price. The staff are helpful and dynamic. An essential address if you go through Bamberg. (Attention, many people in the evening)

On September 20, 2020, we visited the historic smoked beer brewery restaurant Schlenkerla with great expectations. But of our restaurant visits during our vacation in Bamberg, this was the worst. The building itself is wonderfully rustic with a long tradition and very inviting, just the way we like it. But that was it. We stepped into the restaurant and initially stood quite helpless in the area. Due to the restrictions caused by the corona, we are now used to being placed. But you can wait a long time in the entrance area of ​​the Schlenkerla. Initiative is required here. After we found a table, we were served quickly, but with only one menu it takes a little longer before you can place your order. The food was served quickly, maybe too quickly, because it wasn't tasty. We had different dishes with the same sauce and the meat was quite dry. The atmosphere was anything but cozy. Since the windows and doors were open, there was a mighty draft. Although we kept our jackets on, it was very uncomfortable. Such a visit to a restaurant should remain in good memory, but we just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible. I thought that was a shame, because these beautiful walls actually have all the requirements for a great evening. But it was more like at the train station and the feel-good atmosphere didn't even begin to set in. The people who drank their beer standing in front of the restaurant seem to like it here. There was a good mood. But I don't think it's enough to just define yourself through your beer. There is more to it.

Not recommendable. We were first assigned a table and after 5 minutes an extremely unfriendly waitress came and told us that we could not sit here because this table was reserved. We were not offered another table either. That's not how you treat guests!

Cozy atmosphere, delicious knuckle of pork, smoked beer an absolute pleasure. Even the service was really friendly! Tip: If it is noted on the Corona registration form that you should fill it out and put it in a box, one should also be available.

Smoked beer is something very special and always delicious! Pork knuckle and Schäuferle were nice and juicy inside and had an excellent crust. Despite the high number of visitors, the service was attentive and friendly. Thank you for a nice evening with you.

The classic in Bamberg - typically to drink a road beer outside. Well full but that's normal here. Well, the beer is not for everyone but after the 3rd it tastes good to everyone 😉

Smokers' beer is different. I liked it less, long smoky aftertaste. But not really dirty.

Good / delicious smoked beer, but the food is typical ....... beer (mainly fatty pork) - perfect for beer lovers, for people who are hungry and want to eat something - not necessarily.

Well known pub in Bamberg frequented mostly by those who want to drink a famous smoked beer on the street. The restaurant department does not have a lot of choice but to stay in the German theme we took a pork shank and shoulder. Both excellent, tasty, juicy and tender. Both are then served with sauerkraut and with klosse, a giant potato dumpling (which I don't like). Then the beer is excellent, it goes down that a pleasure. Very low bill, € 36 with 2 beers. Really recommended.

Yes, what an experience on my "home vacation". I drove up from Erlangen, where I am currently staying. 7nd I wouldn't be disappointed. I still like the Schäuferla: "so legga", that's not what they have to offer in my adopted home, Bochum. The smoked beer is still not mine, but my relatives liked it, so I also had to drive the driver home to Erlangen 😁 The waitresses are very friendly and sometimes have a casual saying on their lips in this stupid Corona time. Thank you, it was an experience for me and I will definitely come back to a Schäuferla.

Some very smoky beers on tap. Might not be for everyone!

We had dinner at this brewery / restaurant one evening in August and our experience was very positive. The restaurant offers several seats both in the picturesque interior rooms and in a somewhat spartan summer outdoor area. The menu, also available in English, offers a lot of choice at reasonable prices. We tasted their famous smoked beer: that was good too, so much so that we decided to buy 6 bottles at their shop (€ 9.90 6pcs of 500ml). Friendly and smiling service. Total for 2 main courses and the drink: 28 € It is not possible to reserve tables but at 18.30 we had no difficulty in finding a seat.
