This would have given this old room a far better atmosphere. They also have a micro brewery and you can choose from a beer menu what to drink. We ordered Schweinebraten (euro 10,90) and a Putensteak Napoli (euro 12,90). Both dishes were quite good. And the beer excellent.

It is very centrally located but slightly off putting as the entrance and first appearance isn't the best. However, it is well worth a visit. The homemade beer is exceptionally good. The food is plentiful and extremely tasty and it represents good value for money. If you don't have fluent German then the menu can be challenging but for the savvy then google translate will give you a wonderful translation for rump steak!!
