Gaststätte Hexenhäusla in Bamberg

I recently ate at the Pelikan. The first impression was quite good. The second, less so. Despite the rather cool outside temperatures, it was uncomfortably warm and stuffy inside. The air was filled with a smell that strongly recalled a recently completed over-45 sports session. The furniture didn't help the ambiance either: You had to sit on old, heavily worn beer benches, which inevitably evoked memories of the Kerwa (fair) in Unterleiterbach – back then under the organizational leadership of Mr. Farmer Hoppe, known for his rustic approach. What was quite good, in contrast, were the prices. I immediately felt like I was in Monaco. Unfortunately, the physical effort here wasn't a bit "over the top." The atmosphere at the Pelikan, however, was still quite good and cheerful on Whit Saturday. Conclusion: If you like stuffy air, wobbly beer benches, and fancy Monaco prices, this is the place for you – everyone else should flee.

We were there on Friday, August 22nd, and had a reserved table. The food was good and plentiful. It's a shame they didn't serve fried potatoes! The staff is full of witty remarks. You have to be able to handle that... In any case, we had a lot of fun with the staff... and our witty remarks were answered promptly. All in all, a great restaurant with a fantastic view.

Good for a quick snack and a cool shandy, coffee and cake are also available.

A really nice spot. Right on the water. The staff was overwhelmed. There was no conversation, no care, no attention. But she was completely overwhelmed by the crowd. I understand that; it was a lot for just the two of us. The food was decent. Huge portions. We couldn't finish it. We waited 20 minutes to pay, even after asking twice. Other people around us also had to wait a long time, and some even got up because they weren't getting any attention.

Great beer 🍻 Garden and incredibly friendly staff 🥰
