Altstadtbrauhaus „Zum Stadtkrug“ in Schwerin

Delicious food and fantastic service! I'll definitely be back!

The place is exactly what you'd expect from a brewery – rustic and cozy. The beer is delicious. My schnitzel was a bit overcooked; the breading was unfortunately too crispy for my taste. I would still recommend it, though.

I arrived at 5 PM without a reservation and got a table without any problems, although I was also dining alone. To drink, I had the delicious dark Altstadtbräu beer, and to eat, the spare ribs 😍 Three racks were perfectly sufficient for me; the meat was a perfect "fall off the bone," the BBQ sauce was good and not too strong, and the coleslaw and fries weren't just for show. The direct but friendly service perfectly complemented the ambiance and made for a great dinner. The only downside today: I'm only here on a business trip, otherwise I would definitely come more often 🫤

Highly recommended restaurant. I had visitors and we were all impressed by the friendly service and the excellent cuisine.

A lovely restaurant with delicious food. The staff was very friendly.

Nice restaurant, fast and courteous staff.

I was there between 4 and 5 pm without a reservation. There were plenty of free tables, and we were immediately shown to our table. We ordered our drinks and food right away. Our drinks arrived in less than two minutes, and our food in eight. The portions were incredibly generous, but it was absolutely delicious and very well seasoned. The waitress was incredibly friendly and honest. I think the price-performance ratio is very reasonable, so you can always leave a small tip. I'll definitely be going there again. :)

I found it too loud. For a brewery, they offered few types of beer. My food (burger with fries) was unfortunately cold. The fries were hard and unseasoned. The service was very friendly and attentive.

We're here today and we're thrilled. From the welcome and service to the food and drinks, everything was perfect. Having a lunch menu is great. We'll be back. Thank you, Gabi! ☺️

The brewery was great. The food arrived quite quickly and the service was also very good.

Beautifully furnished and highly recommended.

Delicious beer and tasty pork knuckle, plus classic brewery flair!

Good food. Very friendly service!

The restaurant is extremely popular, and it's nearly impossible to get a table without a reservation. We were very lucky and managed to get in for dinner. The schnitzel was delicious, and the service was friendly and efficient.

Our waitress, the lovely Janin, was great. The food was delicious. The value for money was excellent.

We booked a short break in Schwerin and received a voucher from the hotel for the Altstadtbrauhaus (Old Town Brewery). We went there last night. Even though it was completely packed, we received very friendly and super-quick service. The food was excellent and the beer was delicious. I drank a Schweriner Hugo. Delicious! We've already booked tables for this evening. Luckily... it was even busier than yesterday, but everyone was still really friendly and quick. Thank you, and we'd love to come back.

A really nice restaurant, great service. We got our food quickly and it was really delicious and, above all, plenty

I really need to let off some steam. It started with a table reserved for 7 people, and then an oval table for 6 was provided. Extremely uncomfortable for dining with 7 people. Then the food was served... The preparation was very greasy, the shrimp were too cold, the mashed potatoes and beef fillet were dried out, as if they had been reheated, and the beef was very tough. The service was very loud and unfriendly. She also pressured us to leave at 8 p.m. (we arrived shortly after 6 p.m. and had our meal around 6:45 p.m.). We had actually imagined a different, more relaxed evening. Conclusion: We won't be visiting this restaurant again and certainly won't recommend it to anyone. When you spend almost €250, you expect a bit of service!

A top-notch brewery, just as you'd expect. Great service. I had the herring. Not oversalted like so often elsewhere. Great fried potatoes. Good beer. That's how it should be. It's busy, so you'll definitely need a reservation in the evening.

Four of us had made a reservation and found a comfortable seat. Very friendly waitresses brought us delicious food and drinks. There was also a good selection for those who don't like meat: for example, the stuffed goat cheese was really good! The salads were fresh and the portions were perfectly adequate for an evening meal. Yes, everything has become more expensive. But in our opinion, the restaurateurs aren't to blame for that.

Sandy, the best service ever. We received a bread basket as a farewell gift. Greetings to Markus the Golden Rider.

A very good restaurant with friendly service, delicious food, and a great atmosphere. We were there with a group of 14 people. We received prompt and competent service. Highly recommended.

Saturday, October 11, 2025, around 4 p.m., arrived without prior reservation. Luckily, I got a very nice table for two. The staff was friendly and helpful. Since Sunday and Monday are closed, I immediately reserved a table for Tuesday through Thursday. The staff makes every effort to help even those without an appointment get a table. But when it's full, it's full. You should reserve a table on Saturday. Delicious beer, delicious food.

Four of us were here for a birthday party. We had made a reservation, which was necessary. It was quite busy. Nevertheless, the service was very nice, friendly, and attentive. They came to our table frequently, so our glasses were never completely empty. The food also arrived quickly. It was very tasty and completely reasonable in price. We had a lovely evening, had a great time, and were very well looked after. The "birthday boy" even received a small gift!

We arrived 40 minutes before our reservation time, hoping to get a table earlier. However, we were told that wasn't possible, so we went to another restaurant and had a bottle of wine for two. When we returned promptly at our reserved time, we were refused alcohol, and the staff were extremely rude and negative. Overall, a very disappointing experience—we were looking forward to a pleasant evening, but were greatly disappointed by the poor service and unprofessional treatment. We will not be returning and unfortunately cannot recommend the restaurant.

Really nice restaurant with excellent food. Can highly recommend their specialties. The restaurant I busy so reservation is recommended.

Great food. Wonderful, friendly staff. We'll be back.

We went there with our children in June, and the food was adequate and okay! Until the moment my son got a lactose tablet from a waitress with glasses and a stocky build! After that, we had to go to the emergency room, and it turned out they were tablets taken to reduce fatigue! That counts as assault, and we were advised to report it! Please don't let the employees give you anything like that.

Great food, extremely friendly service, really good own beer

Very nice ambiance and friendly service. The food was to our satisfaction.

No room for a quick beer even though it was 80% empty on a Saturday at 4pm!!!!!

Since I like to try local breweries on city trips, my first evening took me here. The beer was drinkable, but not outstanding. The brewery burger was decent and the patty well-seasoned, although a different bun would have been recommended, as it was a bit tough and dry. The friendly service kept things under control and was always attentive, despite the packed room. All in all, a good visit!

A quaint restaurant with ambitious cuisine. We only had small bites, but they were delicious and beautifully presented, although the prices were rather high. A fried fish sandwich with a side salad was €11.90.

Gladly again.....reservation recommended

Nice atmosphere, very cozy. The food was very good and the service was nice and friendly.

Friendly staff. Great atmosphere 😁

We had arranged to meet our holiday guests for dinner. I reserved a table for six that same day. We received a warm welcome and a great seat by the window. The food was plentiful, and everyone ate everything. Once again, it was delicious. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed it. We would love to come back.

Very nice brewery, with a great atmosphere and very friendly service. We had an amazing walnut burger with delicious fries and a good salad. Then I had the venison bratwurst with fried potatoes and mushrooms with onions... well, folks, you'll feel better! Unfortunately, the sausages, which certainly had a good flavor, were fried to death and therefore completely dried out. The fried potatoes were tasty, but they were swimming in fat, just like the mushrooms with onions. The sauce was unfortunately very bland; you could taste a bit of beer, but otherwise it was rather bland. Less oil in the pan would have made the food tastier, but as it is, I have to deduct two points for my meal. I hope you take the criticism seriously; the rest was great!

The reservation went smoothly. Very good communication, friendly service—and all the dishes were excellent. I'd be happy to go back.

Very friendly service, good, sufficient food, good location (right next to the shopping center and fountain)

Very friendly staff and fast service

A very rustic atmosphere, delicious food, good beer, and friendly service. We'd happily return.

Very very very sweet and really made an effort from the heart to make the gesture happy with a smile or two.

Super friendly service, even in stressful situations, and truly delicious food! What more could you want? Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Despite it being full, we still managed to get room for 14 people. Absolutely fantastic. Great staff, great service. Highly recommended 👍👍👍

Delicious food, friendly staff, everything was very good. Prices are also reasonable.

It was a pleasant and enjoyable evening. The service was excellent. We would love to come back.

This was my first time here. I was warmly greeted at the entrance and seated. I had lunch here. The food was served quickly and was hot, fresh, and delicious. The staff was also super friendly. I'll be back.

We were very pleasantly surprised by the friendliness of the staff. A great team, efficient, and fast service. The food was delicious and plentiful, and the beer was highly recommended. That's why we went there two evenings in a row.

There are few seats outside and unfortunately they are quite close to the street, but the service is still extremely good.

The waitress (young and blonde) was very unfriendly and even felt she had to instruct guests and tell them how and when they could get a table...very disappointing from an otherwise beautiful Schwerin...

Good food and very friendly service!

The service is excellent. Friendly. Courteous. They cater to the guests very well. The food was beautifully presented and the size exceeded expectations. So why the bad review? One dish came with a pepperoni so hot it made it hard to breathe. We didn't believe it at first. So we held it to our lips. They were numb. We mentioned it, as it can be dangerous. The waiter quickly addressed the issue but told us that the chef showed little interest and probably responded brusquely. The meal recommendation, schnitzel with mushrooms, must not have been good. There were slight signs even during the meal. After leaving the restaurant, I spent 1.5 hours on the toilet, eating everything possible. A trip home wasn't possible for a while. Too bad. The space and service were top-notch. The chef apparently wasn't that attentive.

A very nice restaurant, beautifully decorated. The prices are also perfectly reasonable. We paid between €80 and €100 for two people, including a starter, main course, and dessert. The service was also excellent. 10 out of 10 would recommend

Great atmosphere and a rustic restaurant. The menu is clear and perfectly seasoned. 🤩 If you like good Mecklenburg cuisine, this is the place for you. 👍🏻 It's important to make a reservation if you want to dine spontaneously with a group of people. It's like a good hairdresser...appointments only by appointment. 🤩

We had dinner on Saturday, August 23, 2025. Elisabeth served us very well. The food was delicious. There were two of us. Thank you for the lovely evening.

The food is decent, and so is the service. It's well-connected and located right in the city center. Right next door is a parking garage with a rooftop bar and a movie theater.

The staff was friendly and accommodating. The food: The sauerfleisch (sauerfleisch) with bridal potatoes and salad were good. The fried potatoes with onions were especially good. It was a pain to scoop the sauerfleisch out of that glass pot; it was annoying. With the beer-coach steak, I wasn't sure whether I was eating the steak or the steak was eating me. It was dry as hell - nope - not enjoyable, not worth the money; except for the fried potatoes (very good) and the salad, which were also good.

Wow, I loved it! It was my first time at a German restaurant, and I was absolutely stuffed and super happy with the flavor. It was delicious! The restaurant's specialties are truly worth the wait. The dark beer is also excellent. The staff was very friendly and attentive, which is unusual for a German restaurant, but I'm very happy to have such friendly staff at this restaurant.

After a long search, we were recommended this restaurant. Very good food. Friendly atmosphere. There's also a beer garden. Prices are reasonable. We've been here twice and the food was always good.

Great value for money 👍🏻 Janette was super nice 😉

Very good and friendly service and the food and drinks were very good, definitely recommended.

The Stadtkrug is always worth a visit. Great staff, delicious food and drinks, and the atmosphere is very relaxing 😊

We spontaneously stopped here for dinner! Great food and very friendly service! Highly recommended!

Super tasty, good value for money👍

I chose the spare ribs, which were quite good. I missed the typical smoky flavor, but the meat fell off the bone. The service was very friendly and always had a good saying. That's how it should be. 👍

A typical old-town brewery. Homemade beer and rustic food (both delicious). Friendly service.

Rustic and very tasty. We had chicken fillet with chanterelle mushrooms...the burger was also very good.

We made a reservation for two adults, one child, and a dog. When we arrived, we were shown to our table. There we found a drinking bowl for the dog and some snacks for the child. The food was great! The service was okay, although they seemed a bit stressed that day. We'd be happy to go again.

A top-notch spin-drying service. It seems whoever works here doesn't enjoy their job. The only thing that was okay was the beer.

We (6 adults) had a very nice evening at the brewery. Even though we had reserved just a few hours in advance, we had a very nice table. The service staff was very friendly, quick, and courteous. We all had something different to eat and were all very satisfied and full. The only downside: the restrooms, both the men's and women's, were dirty, smelly, and downright disgusting. Bottom line: as long as you don't go to the bathroom, we can wholeheartedly recommend the brewery.

We ate there for the first time yesterday and were thrilled. Delicious food and friendly staff.

The Stadtkrug is simply my favorite restaurant here in Schwerin. Beautifully decorated, great food, friendly service, and all in all, a truly comfortable place. And if you're interested, you can even learn a bit of history here.

They asked if we had a reservation. After saying no, we were allowed to stay for an hour, even though the place was almost empty. The same thing happened to subsequent guests—so, of course, more guests are ushered through.

Everything was great, the food was a definite 10/10. Kudos to the chef. Very friendly and competent staff. No one here can complain. Thank you so much for the food and drinks.

As always, the food is excellent. The staff is very attentive and attentive. I'm always happy to return.

Super delicious food, generous portions, and very attentive staff. Everyone serves with love and dedication. Always a happy guest at the brewery.

It was as always very good, nice service and delicious food

The plate size was too small, the food was crammed onto such a small plate. I had a schnitzel with mushrooms. The meat was poor quality, very stringy. I don't mind paying more, even €30, but I don't want to be annoyed when I go out to eat. So, as a Schwerin resident, I won't be coming back. ☹️

The food was truly delicious, perfectly seasoned, and the portions were generous. The service was also incredibly friendly, and the staff were very, very accommodating. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

Good food. It was very tasty, but they don't serve schnitzel. Only steak or fish.

The service was simply fantastic and very friendly. Not intrusive. Very attentive. The food was so delicious! 😋 We can absolutely recommend it. We felt very comfortable and if we're ever in Schwerin again, we'd love to come back. 😍

We went there for dinner on Saturday evening. We hadn't reserved a table as we wanted to eat at another restaurant. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed and so we spontaneously visited this restaurant. The staff were very polite, friendly and accommodating. The food, service and atmosphere were really good and it will be our favorite restaurant.

Highly recommended. Friendly service and online reservations worked perfectly. The food was delicious and served very quickly.

Super friendly service and delicious food. Highly recommended. If we're ever in Schwerin again, we'll be back.

A clear favorite. If I come to Schwerin more times, I will have more of everything at this place. Liked the food, a steak with potatoes (though a bit too much onion), good local beer, and super nice service.

Authentic, rustic restaurant with great house beer! The Stadtkrug offers a cozy, rustic atmosphere and friendly service. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends. The pale house beer is easy to drink and truly delicious. We had schnitzel, ribs, and solyanka – everything was excellently prepared and delicious. Highly recommended

A fantastic brewery with great food, delicious house beer, and above-average service. So attentive, fast, and courteous. Great! We'll be back!

....there were two of us and four of us there...everything was done to our complete satisfaction...friendly service from the entire team...we felt completely at home...special greetings to "ANNI," your tips for Schwerin were very helpful...best regards from the newly engaged couple from Braunschweig, T&H...wink

The lunch menu is recommended, you just have to be there on time otherwise it is very good

Hello, Great restaurant in the heart of Schwerin. We got a nice table at short notice. The staff is super nice and friendly. The food came quickly and tasted very good. We would love to come back. Highly recommended!!!

A wonderful old-style restaurant with traditional German dishes. It has a quaint decor, and we were equally impressed by the excellent food. A definite recommendation. Thanks for the friendly service.

We went there for dinner on July 11th. A nice brewery with a lovely atmosphere and really friendly service. The food was delicious and the beer was great 😀 Highly recommended. The picture shows a dish with liver and one with Mecklenburger Backfisch.

Beautiful restaurant, food was simply excellent. The service was very friendly. I'd happily return.

Delicious home-cooked food at fair prices in a rustic atmosphere. Generous portions and delicious beer. I'd love to come here often. Be sure to make a reservation in advance.

That's how it should be in a brewery! We really enjoyed both the lager and the food. The service was prompt and friendly! Highly recommended.

Very friendly and efficient service. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The staff made every effort to accommodate our requests. I highly recommend it!

Very friendly staff, delicious food with a wide selection, new ideas and variations, and improved standard dishes. Top-notch wine and delicious beer 🍺 Prices are fairly reasonable.

Something special. Decoration, old classic German with wood and metal. BEER of their own production, you sit and see in the background the boilers where the fermentation takes place.

Cozy atmosphere, very good food, and friendly staff. I highly recommend it.
