Altstadtbrauhaus „Zum Stadtkrug“ in Schwerin

On June 14th, we went to the Altstadtbrauhaus for lunch with a total of 36 people as part of a Blue Cruise. We all felt completely at home. It was very well organized. Everyone got their food at the same time, despite having four choices to choose from, which we had ordered in advance, and despite a special request. The waiters were all very friendly, courteous, and quick. Everyone enjoyed their food. We can only recommend the Altstadtbrauhaus.

Nice atmosphere in the room with good food and drinks. The own beer is very good, both light and dark.

A quaint place for good food and drinks. We'd gladly return.

Let's face it - a traditional restaurant always has a whiff of rip-off - but the Stadtkrug restores my faith. An extremely nice crew of girls on a Friday evening. Our waitress always had an eye for us and a good joke, despite two groups in the back room. The food was very solid and reasonably priced. We'll be happy to come back - whenever we're there!

Good beer and delicious food in the old town of Schwerin.

Great food, nice service and the prices are OK too.

We wanted to eat there last night at 8 p.m. without a reservation. At the entrance, we were told in a very unfriendly tone that there was no food available that day. We could only have drinks. Given these conditions, we won't go there and won't recommend it to anyone.

We had 20 minutes left until our 6:00 PM reservation and had to wait outside the restaurant in the pouring rain! After dinner, the dishes remained on the table for over an hour. When we pointed this out, the staff became even more rude! If you value service, stay away!

We were greeted and served by a very friendly waitress. The food was generally good. Overall, it was a pleasant evening.

Delicious 😋 food and tasty beer 🍺.

We were there with our three children. We received a warm welcome. Our host, Alex, was so attentive and friendly, always with a smile on his face. The children felt very comfortable, and even the youngest of the bunch was treated like a queen. The food was delicious. We will definitely come back.

very tasty 5 out of 5 stars , polecam

We had the best burgers ever here! The beer was great too. We loved it so much that we went back the next day. We had a salad with chicken and a bratwurst. Both were delicious! Great service, a quaint atmosphere. Highly recommended!

We reserved a table online, and everything went perfectly. The food and drinks were delicious, and we can wholeheartedly recommend the restaurant. Thank you very much, and keep up the good work.

Cozy, rustic restaurant with delicious food and super nice, friendly staff! Highly recommended!

We were there on May 23, 2025. The good reviews prompted our decision, but unfortunately, we were very disappointed: the service was pushy, albeit friendly, the food (burgers and schnitzel) was extremely greasy (including the fries), and the beer selection (for a city brewery) was very limited. We won't be back.

Four of us were booked in last night, and two friends spontaneously joined us. Arranging the table so that we could all fit was no problem. Thanks to the qualified and friendly service staff. The food was truly excellent, and even though the restaurant was fully booked, everything came quickly, and the noise level was very low. One small comment... The plates and containers used to serve the food were too small for the portions; you had to struggle to keep everything on them at first. Otherwise, a great restaurant that we would gladly visit again.

Great location. I'd love to come back 👍👍👍

The table had been booked for a long time. A table for 20 people was reserved as a precaution back in January/February. The restaurant adjusted the number of people twice, the last time four days in advance. Well, now it turned out that there was one more person at very short notice. Instead of 18, there were supposed to be 19. That's when the drama began. A very short server didn't offer a friendly greeting or any other kind words after being told that we were one more person. Eye rolls, rude remarks, and disinterest. Our first thought was to find another restaurant. But with that number of people, it was probably difficult. Well, the short server wasn't seen again that evening. The table layout was a disaster. In the otherwise empty part of the restaurant, "our" table would have simply been moved sideways, and everyone could have sat at one long table. So, three people sat at a resting L, away from all the other guests. Who plans such nonsense?! The service was quick and acceptable. The only positive thing was the food. It was really good. What was worrying was that it was delivered really, really quickly. But even special requests (due to an allergy) were accommodated. That's really great. The prices are reasonable. Yes, but then around 9:30 p.m., we were kicked out. "We're closing time now." "Last chance to order." "We'll be right over and collect your payment." Honestly? There's a large, hungry and thirsty partying group, along with a few other small groups equally thirsty, and the customers have to leave? Because of the reception and the unfortunate eviction, we won't be coming back.

Recommended by the tourist information office. The service was really great. The food and drinks arrived super quickly. The food tasted great and the portions were generous. It's all right in the heart of the old town. Highly recommended. The service was very friendly. (Tattooed)👌

Wir wollten mit 4 Personen gegen 20:45 Uhr zu Abendessen. Wurden von der Kellenerin drauf hingewiesen das wir noch etwas Trinken könnten aber nichts mehr zu Essen bekommen!!! Warum steht dann Küche bis 21: 30 auf den Öffnungszeiten???

In any case, the food was very tasty

Thank you very much for the great service! The food was very tasty and we all felt very comfortable! A reservation, especially for groups, is recommended! Everything went great online!

We came here spontaneously and without a reservation after walking around the castle. They found a free table for us and took seats by the window. The food was delicious and the portions were large and we were very full. Overall a very worthy place to visit👍

Well, definitely delicious, but we were assigned such a bad table in a half-full restaurant that we decided not to eat anything... The light Schwerin draft beer was delicious, also available as a mix, for example with lime juice...

Food very good, service extremely unfriendly and rude. Definitely never visiting this establishment again.

We spontaneously wanted to eat at the Altstadt Brauhaus and asked a waitress if we could get a seat without a reservation. She said it wasn't a problem as long as there was a table available. After a quick look, she led us to a seemingly free table. Unfortunately, it turned out that it was already occupied - the guests were only outside for a short time to smoke, which we weren't told. Shortly afterwards, another (red-haired) waitress came to us and spoke to us in an extremely unfriendly tone. Without any explanation, she asked directly whether we could even understand German and made it very unpleasantly clear to us that we weren't allowed to sit there. We found this behavior very unprofessional and disrespectful - especially since the misunderstanding was not our fault, but rather due to a lack of communication within the team. Luckily, a third waitress was later very friendly and tried hard, which we would like to expressly praise. The food was also really good and of high quality – that ultimately saved the evening a little. Overall, unfortunately, a mixed experience: good food, sometimes very nice service - but also a really unpleasant moment that spoiled the overall impression.

We had a wonderful evening with very tasty food. The service was super friendly and totally welcoming. We felt very comfortable. Highly recommended!!!!!!!! We will definitely come back when we are in Schwerin again.

Quaint brewery in the city center. The fillet pan was delicious but a little too salty. The staff was super friendly and attentive. The food is a little more expensive but the quality is top!

The food was okay but nothing special. Unfortunately the service was a disaster. First the wrong drinks were taken and then when paying, a very rude answer was given when the change was given out incorrectly. Never like that again

Unfortunately service was subpar.

Food was average, more like mass tourism, unfortunately the service was very bad.

There were four of us there and we had reserved in advance - which we would recommend to everyone as the restaurant was well attended. The ambience is really great, decorated with a lot of charm. The service was super friendly, attentive and quick - so you immediately feel at home as a guest. From a culinary point of view, everything was just right: the drinks were well chilled and the food was consistently delicious. We had burgers, fish and pork steak - all very well prepared and above all: huge portions! We guarantee that no one will go home hungry here. An all-round successful evening – we would love to come back!

Very nice restaurant with a clocklike atmosphere.

Very tasty food in a great atmosphere

What a disappointment. The food tastes like nothing and just seems reheated. And then very expensive. Don't go there!

Very rustic and traditional restaurant in the old town of Schwerin! Prices for food and drinks are absolutely average. The quality of the food and drinks, especially the beer, are absolutely top! Very nice staff and a cozy atmosphere! Would love to come back.👍

The Wiener Schnitzel was dripping with grease, but the ribs were good.

Really a very nice shop, super nice staff 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 I had the black beer burger with fried potatoes and I have to say, the burger was really big and tasty (well at €20, of course). The dark beer 🍺 couldn't be beat 👍🏼. Highly recommended!!!! Happy to come back!!!

We both had the "schnitzel from Mecklenburg". It was a large portion, very tasty and was well served. Also the service was very friendly and fast. We would like to come back again when we are nearby.

The Altstadtbrauhaus always has very good food. The service is very friendly and quick. There were two of us and the food came very quickly and was delicious. Since everything is great here, you should make a reservation. It is very crowded, especially in the evening.

Booked a table online but it did not apply according to one of the staff. Refused to check the booking. No pleasant treatment at all. Although several tables were free in the room.

There's nothing to complain about. Courteous service, delicious beer 🍻 and tasty food. We felt very comfortable.

Cozy, rustic with friendly service. The food tasted very good.

Works on their own rules. Place was 90% empty, but they said they were fully reserved. Avoid and go somewhere else 🤷🏻‍♂️

Very friendly service. Average prices for Schwerin. The dishes were all very tasty and the portions were large.

Great service, delicious food. Reservations were easy and spontaneous online

The BBQ ribs are great! Delicious light...

Great beef fillet, very friendly and attentive service. Highly recommended!

Friendly staff. Rustic atmosphere.

Good and tasty food. Very friendly staff. Gladly again

Nice inn, very friendly service and good food

Nice, appropriate ambiance, fast service, even if you can sometimes feel the stress. I found the table too low for the chairs. I recommend making a reservation, as the place gets busy. Portions are more than sufficient. Delicious. Definitely worth a visit.

traditional atmosphere and decent food, but the prices are more in the higher range for that kind of food

The pork knuckle and the baked fish were very tasty, both drinks and food were there quickly, reservation also worked, you have two hours without further arrangement. The restless music in the background wasn't our thing. We are happy to recommend it!

It's getting progressively worse....A burger for €19 with a very dry burger bun, with a reheated pattie and tasteless salad, the fries were fine...my partner's fried potatoes were apparently made the day before...she had an upset stomach in the evening. Conclusion.....it was significantly better with the previous owner.

It was the only place I had a meal in Schwerin. I visited in the summer and sat at an outdoor table. The food looked great, it was generous in portion, and it was delicious, making for a happy lunch. The schnitzel here was the most delicious I’ve ever had.

We came to the brewery at 9 p.m. with several hungry people and were not welcome - even though we didn't want to sit at the same table together and there were still enough tables available. Reason: "We close at 11 p.m." Conclusion: If you don't value guests, leave it alone.

The prices are reasonable, the food is delicious. Everything is very rustic, just as it should be. All in all, a very pleasant atmosphere. Keep it up, we can only recommend it.

Very tasty food and nice atmosphere 👍. Reservation is recommended.

Great evening, very nice service and delicious food

Excellent brewery in Schwerin. Central location, typical dishes well prepared and served. Very good beer. Quick and courteous service.

Very fast and amazing food! The beer was also delicious! 100% recommend it.

Wir hatten für Freitag abend für 2 Personen online reserviert und sind sofort freundlich empfangen worden und zu einem schönen 2' Tisch gebracht worden. Das Essen war sehr gut, frisch und schmackhaft und wurde auch nach 15 min. schnell serviert. Die Bedienung war freundlich und aufmerksam und bei Wünschen sofort ansprechbar. Der Gastraum war voll besetzt und das Ambiente rustikal aber gemütlich. Wir waren sehr zufrieden und würden das Altstadtbrauhaus weiterempfehlen.

Thank you Janin for the good service

Tasty food and good price/performance ratio

I would love to come back here.

Unfortunately not as rustic as we would have liked.

An absolute must in Schwerin! The old town brewery “Zum Stadtkrug” offers a great atmosphere with rustic charm and a cozy ambience. The in-house beer is a real highlight – freshly tapped and incredibly tasty! The food was excellent: hearty, regional cuisine prepared with great attention to detail. Especially the [insert your favorite dish here, e.g. B. pork knuckle or brewery pan] was a delight! The service was extremely friendly and attentive, despite the house being busy. Price-performance is absolutely consistent here. If you are in Schwerin, you shouldn't miss this brewery. I'll definitely be back!

Delicious beer, good food, good service. We were there during Christmas time 2024. Reservation recommended!

Wir waren anlässlich des Geburtstags meines Mannes mit fünf Personen dort. Als ich mein Essen bekam, war ich schockiert. Ich hatte das Hähnchenbrustfilet mit Feta-Kräuterkruste vom Grill = 19,90€. Als Beilage dazu die gebratene Champignons mit Zwiebeln für 3,90 €. Das Fleisch samt Kruste waren verbrannt (siehe auch Foto). Die anderen Gäste an unserem Tisch waren zufrieden mit ihrem Essen. Der Service war sehr schleppend. Bei der Zahlung wurde mir nur der Gesamtpreis gezeigt - keine detaillierte Auflistung der Speisen/Getränke. Die bekam ich erst als der Betrag gezahlt war und ich auf die Quittung bestanden habe. Nach Durchsicht musste ich dann feststellen, dass auf dem Bon eine Beilage berechnet wurde, die wir nicht bestellt & erhalten haben. Schade, es war wohl das letzte Mal in diesem Restaurant.

We were visiting Schwerin and came across this brewery. The food is super tasty and the service is impeccable. We'd love to come back.

Beautiful, you can eat very comfortably and enjoy the atmosphere. The service is great. I will be going there again soon. Many thanks to the staff

Although the brewery was very busy, we were welcomed very warmly and a place was found for us even without a reservation. The service was organized very well and quickly. The food was really very rich and extremely tasty.😋 We wish you a nice holiday and keep it up, there are complainers everywhere, they should do this job every day.

Schweriner Bierkutscher steak, "Brauhaus specialty", was not a 300g neck steak but 5mm dry schnitzel meat from the pan, not grilled. Fried potatoes ok, “colorful cabbage” without dip. Actually disappointing...

The technically satisfactory food was overshadowed by unfriendly service. We were handled several times by two different ladies from the service, sometimes in a very unfriendly manner, because the team did not coordinate sufficiently with each other or had difficulties using the reservation tool. Unfortunately, other guests seemed to be experiencing the same thing at the same time! As an alternative, we were given two separate tables as a “two-person reservation”, whereby we were surrounded by mountains of dust through the partitions on the left and right and in the back on the wood paneling. The same cleanliness could also be seen in the men's toilets, only with makeshift attempts at repairs and torn off soap dispensers.

Das Essen war okay, aber wir wurden von den Damen aus dem Service trotz Reservierung mehrfach unfreundlich umgesetzt.

Very tasty, very friendly service and nice atmosphere.

Here you are always warmly welcomed with very good cuisine and value for money. We are from Potsdam and are always satisfied. I can only recommend it. Would love to come back.

Unfortunately the quality of the food wasn't great. The service made an effort but unfortunately I understand something different by service. Noisy atmosphere, not for a relaxing evening.

The food and service are good! A bit much but tasty :)

Delicious food in a lovely atmosphere with friendly, attentive service. Clear recommendation.

Very tasty 😋 the cocktail. The food was super tasty 👍

We were there on Christmas Day and wanted to enjoy home-style cooking again. Very friendly, fast waitresses took the order and quickly brought drinks and food. I have to say about the latter: Lots and tasty - but a little too much for my taste, namely too much onions and too much fat. If you are sensitive to this, you should choose French fries as a side dish instead of fried potatoes. The promised dip for the Brauhausschnitzel turned out to be a bowl of garlic butter. Also delicious, but just not a dip. Otherwise there is nothing to complain about. You should be hungry, the portions are generous. The ambience is rather rustic, as befits a brewery restaurant. The price level is moderate, considering the portion sizes. Card payment is possible.

You should definitely try their own light and dark beer.

We have reserved for 10 people. This inn has a lovely rustic charm. The service was very friendly and attentive. Thanks for that. The food and drinks came quickly and were very tasty. We can only recommend everything

They didn’t let us sit, even though the place was absolutely empty

Eat full plates and really tasty Service very attentive and friendly On the whole, always happy

Food was very good. Had spare ribs and a light one. Both recommended. Rarely have ribs this good been eaten. The service was very friendly and the atmosphere was cozy with rustic furnishings. Price-performance correct!

A very nice and quaint restaurant. The lunch menu for €8.90 is very tasty and sufficient. The only drawback is that it is very loud and conversation is hardly possible. Be sure to order tables in the run-up to Christmas.

A first class restaurant with great food. The staff is very friendly and alert. Big compliments to the operators 😉

Nice shop, food came quickly and was very tasty. We had the fillet pan and garlic bread first... And the light beer with it... Very tasty... Finally a Mecklenburg herb... Great evening

Had a wonderful evening with delicious food

Es ist mit unser Lieblings Restaurant, haben auch seit Jahren immer den selben Tisch. Aber diesmal hat es nicht geklappt, als wir reingekommen sind sahen wir gleich komplett anderes Personal, anderer Tisch. Personal auch nicht so freundlich - bestellten dann wieder unser Lieblings Gericht und Getränke. Mußten sehr lange warten und auf einmal wurde das Essen geliefert, ohne Getränke vorweg. Es wurde natürlich vergessen, der uns das Essen gebracht hat, der fragte keine Getränke nein noch nicht, sagte wurde wohl vergessen, er ging dann zur Bar und holte uns denn die Getränke und wurden auch beleidigt, hier dann braucht ihr auch nicht weiter meckern. Das Bier helles, schmeckte voll komisch. Hatten den Schwarzbierburger mit Pommes - aber die Pommes waren sehr sehr schlecht hart klein fettig als wenn die wieder neu aufgewärmt wurden. Bestellten dann wieder neue Getränke, wo wir gleich sagten aber denn auch abschicken die Bestellung. Was uns gewundert hat das es für einen Freitag so leer war, was wir gar nicht kannten - dachten uns dann, bei dem Personal hat es sich wohl verschlechtert. Wir waren echt nicht so zufrieden wie sonst, zahlten und gingen dann.

Quaint restaurant, nice and tough service, acceptable prices

Phew, difficult, 11 p.m. is the end of the day, from around 10 p.m. you get another drink and then you have to leave around 10:30 p.m. Really not that great.

Everything has gone down except the prices. We had reserved a table for 2 people. The table was an imposition. Way too small. It barely fit 2 plates. The food wasn't a revelation either. I had Mecklenburger Schnitzel. Nothing special. Service was good and friendly.

Very disappointed!!! Despite a reservation, we were told right away that we only had 1.5 hours and that the table had to be free again because new guests were coming. The food was on the table 10 minutes later after ordering. The waitress then wanted to clear away, even though some were still eating. I imagine something different when it comes to a cozy evening with good food!!! Never again !

Very nice and attentive service by Janine. Food tasty and plentiful. The home-brewed red beer is highly recommended.

Down-to-earth food in Schwerin Typical brewery with some old furniture with classic drinks and food Menu good and clear. Food was ok but there was still room for improvement
