Hausbrauerei Altstadthof - Rotbierstüberl- Brauerei und Whiskydestillerie in Nürnberg

We walked for about 30 mins as we had read so much about this place...But were dissapointed on reaching there as were treated badly. We asked the waitress for a table for 7 and although there was space available, she said all are reserved...we told her we will wait, but she said she cannot guarantee when they will get vacant. Finally, we said we would like to reseve and will come after 1 hour...and she was rude & said " we cannot reserve". This was surprising for us and we realised that they were just not interested! Sad!

Very nice service. Food top. We really liked it there.

Lovely little 'Kneipe' with huge choice of beer and whiskey, hone brewed available too. Loved the 'bieramisu'

We took the tasting range, very good beer. The Schäuferle was good, the potato dumpling took some getting used to.

Very nice service, who was already cleaning up outside, but still offered us a seat. An incredibly fruity Maibock was served 👌🏼 Highly recommended location, although reservations are strongly recommended.

If you want to feel the atmosphere of Nuremberg, then this is a great place for such purposes. Red beer - very, very good.

A very cosy small place with great beers (try the roter bock)!! Regarding food, I only got the chance of trying the potato salad, but it was insanely good. Plus, the personnel was friendly and helpful

Didn't eat anything, just tasted the beer. Very nice garden in the courtyard with delicious beers

Hardworking people just fantastic, delicious meals, great service

We bought a bottle of red beer here several years ago. We finally gave the bottle back this year and actually got our deposit money back 😅

Reservation is an advantage! The service staff was very friendly, but unfortunately it was a bit confusing. If you want to reorder or pay for something, it takes a little longer for you to be noticed! The food was damn tasty and sufficient (we had brewed ulash and the schnitzel with a malt crust) and was simply worth five stars! Lots of different types of beer, something for every taste! Very happy again, thank you and all the best!

Top beer. If you are passing through Nuremberg, you must visit the restaurant

I ordered a sampler, Schaffele, and goulash. The sampler is good because you can try a variety of beers. Schauffele is said to be made from the shoulder, and it is delicious with a different taste from Haksen. The staff was friendly and everything was nice, but the smell of cigarettes being smoked outside came inside and it was a bit uncomfortable.

Good food and drink, very friendly staff

Great home-brewed beer, not off-the-shelf beer, you can just taste it. Good food and great service. We always enjoy coming back.

There was no one there when I went there around 11 a.m., but since I was having a beer, it quickly filled up. I went with my kids and ordered sausage and fries. It was okay I think there were 5 types of beer, so I ordered one and drank it. Each taste was different, but it was delicious haha.

Cozy, quiet, dark pub with amazing house-brewed beer and whisky! Get the Alligator.

Delicious food and caring staff. Pasta with cheese sauce and meat goulash were very delicious. We had a 3-course beer tasting. It's nice but it needs to be colder. Apple strudel was very, very good

Schäuferla is warmed up. It basically goes from the fridge into the microwave. Was partly cold. Make it fresh, why do you serve warmed up food? A little more class than quantity would be good here. Beer is fine. You should serve Seidla (0.5L). You don't actually make 0.4L in Franconia. Service was very friendly.

Super. Delicious food. Nice staff. Gladly again

If you're visiting Nuremberg, this place definitely have to be in a must see list. Very pleasant atmosphere and a good beer

Great place to eat. Went on the 15 march 2025. Wasn't that busy. Food and beer was excellent, particularly the beer. Pre booked for 10 people. Very reasonable prices. Recommended

Just drank, didn't eat, but the great atmosphere and the super nice lady at the counter are a must-experience

This is a truly special place. You can try the local beers they produce, join the tour where they explain the production process, and buy their products from their stores. The food is also very nice. I recommend the sausage they cook in beer sauce.

The beer is one of a kind and tastes amazing. Great atmosphere indoors and a beautiful outdoor view.

Great parlor with a rustic atmosphere.

We've been there a few times now. I can always recommend it.

Nice restaurant, good food, super nice staff. However, the service at the table is more than unsatisfactory. However, the service doesn't manage to get past the table. In 2.5 hours we only managed to come by three times and take drink orders. Unfortunately, another location that didn't understand how to generate sales. The restaurant was half full and staffed by three waiters. Too bad not recommended

Nice place to taste well-kept red beer. It's best to order the "3x Red" package. This is a red beer, a red wheat beer and a red bock. Each served in a 0.2 glass, you can easily find your favorite. Quaint restaurant, with grilled sausages for dinner.

It has a tasting of 3 types of beer that they make that are delicious. But also, it has a kitchen and the food is spectacular. The Bieramisu dessert is a real spectacle.

Well-kept rustic atmosphere, friendly service and fine beer from our own brewery. The perfect place for a relaxing end to the day...

Original Nuremberg RotBier and Wurst are both just great, highly recommended. There are also 4 more options of draught beer, not bad at all. Please mind that food is only served after 5pm. Atmosphere and service are fine.

You can get the best red beer in town here!

The tour of the cellars is highly recommended.

I was with a comrade, Toliguemi, and we did not stop drinking warm, comforting beer while we told stories that were impossible to believe. The cold made the place more welcoming. Other people from different dimensional planes accompanied us...

Nice place to taste beer and whiskey and food

Delicious. In combination with the city tour including the cellar, an experience.

Incredible establishment… just like its owner Greta, marvel will Alejandro 💃

I went there because I heard it was a good Rotbier restaurant, and it was delicious. I liked the rotor bock the richest and most delicious!

The Worst Restaurant in Germany!!!! Especially for Asians – DO NOT GO!! A cowardly place that deletes comments.!! I am an Asian currently living in Europe for five months. During these five months, I have never felt discriminated against and have instead enjoyed the laid-back European lifestyle and the kindness Europeans show, especially towards children. I have felt the care and consideration of Europeans throughout my stay. Before traveling to Germany, I read reviews about this place, known for its beer. If you’ve read the reviews carefully, you’ll notice that there are occasional mentions of discrimination. Even after reading those reviews, I thought, “Surely, people might just be misunderstanding,” and decided to visit. Since we didn’t make a reservation, we were directed to a side building instead of the main restaurant. A female staff member there asked if we had a reservation. When we said no, she told us we couldn’t enter and would have to wait for an hour. However, we had seen Western customers drinking beer outdoors, so we brought this up. The staff member then changed her response, saying that it was possible to drink beer outdoors but not to have food. We agreed to just have beer outdoors. (At the time, there were several empty tables inside.) We assumed these empty tables were “reserved,” but then we saw Western customers being seated. From their hesitant behavior, we got the feeling they didn’t have reservations either. (Of course, this is just my personal impression.) However, what upset us was that empty tables were quickly given to Western customers, and the way they were treated was noticeably different from how we were treated. At the time, I tried to think, “Maybe they did have reservations.” Our children were hungry, so we asked another male staff member if there were any available tables. He told us to wait a little. As we waited outside, drinking beer, the male staff member never came back. Instead, the female staff member kept seating new customers. She even brought us the bill before we asked for it. That was the moment I became certain: We were being discriminated against. Shortly after, a group of Korean customers arrived, and I asked them, “Did you make a reservation?” They said no. Yet, they were seated immediately. (Even so, the treatment they received from the male and female staff was different from how they treated Western customers.) I am convinced that either there are discriminatory staff in this establishment, or there are employees who choose who to serve. I don’t think this is just a problem with the staff. Looking at the reviews, there are mentions of discrimination, and the owner doesn’t seem to care about addressing this. This makes me believe that the owner shares the same mindset. When my children read about Germany’s history in their world history books and commented, “Germany seems like a bad place,” I proudly told them, “It’s a country that reflects on its past and has become admirable.” Today, I feel ashamed of what I said. For the first time during their time in Europe, my children experienced discrimination and concluded, “Germany is a bad place.” Let me be clear: Germany is not the problem. The issue lies with the unacceptable behavior of the staff. However, from the perspective of tourists, the staff’s behavior becomes a reflection of the country itself. As for the beer, honestly, I thought the beer in the Czech Republic tasted better. But one good thing is that this place offers a variety of beer flavors to try.

What a great experience! We started off with an aperitif at the bar and ended up having the whole dinner there! Great atmosphere, wonderful food and good service - the girls working there were a bit rushed cause it was so busy, but managed it really well and always smiling! Loved the red beer, sausages cooked in beer and their Beeramisù is simply to die for (said by an Italian!) The only regret is having discovered this place on our last day and not being able to speak German to enjoy the buzz of the place more!!!! This is simply a must when you are in Nuremberg! Small place so ensure you book a table for drinks or dining!!!!!

As always, great rustic, authentic beer stop!

Very good beer with very good service. Awesome atmosphere accompanied by the best beers.

The best place to have some craft German beers, very good and at a good price, they also offer food that looked very good. They also have homemade whiskey of various types

The place in general was nice The schnitzel was ok although it seemed a little pre-made food but it was an ok portion -we got potato salad with it that was nice for me but too sour for my friends The goulash was not a soup but some cooked meat in a plate with some bread next to it-We were a little bit disappointed about that The beers were really nice

Six people went without a reservation and we were able to eat without any problem. The service was very good, like their food, we ordered the pork which was very tender with a sauce and the sausages with very typical potatoes.

It was a very interesting and pleasant experience for the whole family: from 2 year olds to 63 year olds. Our guide Marijeto was very friendly and attentive and spoke with in-depth knowledge about the origins and development of the beer cellar. I can recommend it to anyone visiting the city.

First of all: The beer is great 👍🏻🍺 It could be that I caught the chef on a bad day, but unfortunately, despite great anticipation, the food was absolutely not for me: the potato soup was nice and hot, but oversalted and with a pungent broth taste. The Schäufele was also hot and fresh, but the sauce was very cumin-heavy and the dumplings were totally oversalted. 2 stars from me and a recommendation just for the beer.

Positive: delicious beer, nice idea with the beer tasting Negative: the food. Soup tasted like bouillon cubes, our neighbor's food was cold, ours was ok. The dumplings were oversalted and the sauce for the Schäufele was swimming in fat. The Schäufele itself was well done. The red cabbage and cabbage were far dry. Conclusion: go somewhere else for food, if you want to drink something, this is the place for you.

Very angry service, i can not recommend

Was super tasty! The waitress was very friendly and nice 🙌 the dishes were fresh, red beer was unforgettable 🤩

Absolutely worth a visit. For me, the Altstadthof brewery is definitely a recommendation for Nuremberg. We spontaneously got a table and were served very nicely and courteously. The food is traditional and rustic, just as you would imagine. I personally recommend the snack platter with a Bacchus or the tasting palette with four different types of beer. If you like a house beer, the red beer is an absolute classic in Nuremberg, you can also take it home in a 1L swing-top bottle. The perfect companion. Thank you for the brilliant evening and the great hospitality. Whenever I'm in Nuremberg again, I'd love to come back here to eat and drink.

The waitress demonstrated excellent proficiency in English, and the food was delightful. Additionally, the Rotbier was truly remarkable

Great little pub with original local red beer. Can get very busy and a bit warm inside. Worth a visit if can grab a seat.

Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to try the food. I made a reservation for December 24th (2 people) and was there, but none of the waitresses noticed me. At some point we were told that there was a small table available in the corner. Unfortunately, it was really small. Hardly any space to eat and one stool was taken over by a lady at the bar. There was no sign indicating that the table was reserved. Then we left because, in my opinion, you could expect a little better service. But I emphasize here that this is my own opinion and experience.

Very good large schnitzel with potato salad. Actually I only like potato salad with meat salad (Saxon style) but this one was also very good. Can only recommend the restaurant, the homemade red beer is also highly recommended.

The staff was blunt, but it's okay because it's harder to find friendly restaurants in Europe than you think. The rotbier was really delicious and the food was good too. However, I didn't feel good about the old, old racists who joined us at the same table late. It was clear that they were making fun of the three of them as they kept giggling and looking at each other while speaking in German and giggling while saying "I don't understand" in English. lol Is it funny that I use English because I don't know German? We just ate our food in silence, but was it funny because we were simply ‘asian’? lol There is nothing wrong with the restaurant, but the blunt staff served these people with a smile! It was an episode that made me realize the average German people :)

Jazmine took great care of us, very kind and very attentive. The food was good and the beers were very good. Thank you. We will return

Good traditional food with good service and good beers

Im Vorweihnachtstrubel schnell ne Kleinigkeit Richtung Tiergärtnertorplatz im frühen Dunkel essen...schwierig dachten wir uns angesichts allgemeiner Erfahrung und fragten mal kurz an. Wurde aber trotz voller Tische perfekt "gemanagt". An der Bar platziert,genossen wir zu Szenegetränken wie Aperol natürlich auch das schmackhafte Rotbier. Dies gab es als Rotbiersauce zum knusprigen Schäufele und natürlich nochmals in der gläsernen Variante zum mit Malzschrot "eingeriebenem" Schnitzel. Als Abschluss noch mit den Thekennachbarn einen Bierbrand. Fazit: Schneller Service,gutes Essen und toller Digestif. Top👍🏼

Situato a poca distanza dal Castello e da S.Sebaldo, locale accogliente con piatti tipici locali. Personale molto gentile e servizio rapido. Ottima cucina a prezzi nella media.

Did not eat, but the place is really nice

Great traditional brewpub to sample local beers & whiskey! Didn’t try the food this time. They seem to be famous for their large selection of whisky and other spirits. Lots of awards on the walls. Ask for seasonal beers! Their red bock is incredible 🍻 Will be back when I’m in Nuremberg again.

Very small and cozy restaurant; However, at 12:30 (90 minutes after opening) it was still drafty and cold. Very attentive service!

Nice brewery, very nice staff. Unfortunately very cold at this time of year as the door is constantly opening. You have to like red beer... mine isn't. The food was consistently delicious.

Ich war beeindruckt von der guten Qualität des Biers und des Essens. Auch der Preis stimmt für die Qualität und die Leistung.

Very good food, however we were very surprised by the nonchalance of the service: no smile, plates picked up under our noses before even having finished... very unfortunate!

Great beers, with very good Franconian cuisine and top service. A must whenever I'm in Nuremberg!

Excellent place for team events! We started with the escape room located in the cellar. It’s quite spacious that 8 of us can all move freely inside and the temperature is also comfortable. The content is pretty interesting, we chose the one related to historical story and everyone was enjoyed. After passing the game, we got Nürnberg original red beer as reward. There was a staff staying with us, who gave us a detail review in the end, and of course if you need help you can raise your hand at any time. After that we went to the bar for the dinner. Food and beer were very good, and we also tasted special season drink called “winter Wärmer”. Waitress were super friendly and nice. We had a wonderful time there.

Wow, what can I say? You need to come here ! The beer is so good and the food is amazing the staff look after you and the place is so warm great for after the Christmas markets. I spent many merry hours in here if you know what I mean . Cheers 🍻

The red beer doesn't taste as good as in many other Nuremberg restaurants or bars. The service is bad. You wait forever to be able to order and pay. The waitress clearly shows you that you don't like to be seen as a guest. There is no greeting or "goodbye." Overall, we didn't have a positive experience there. Too bad.

The red beer is original, the aftertaste is berry sour.

Servers were ignorant and arrogant. One table was trying to pay and we were about to sit there. They kept ignoring her for 5 minutes, while the lady was waving the money in her hand, trying to pay and leave. I did not want stay in that place any longer. We ended up leaving. Next pub we entered had extremely kind staff. I am not recommending it at all. Overrated place!

Nice little brewery, centrally located in the old town below the castle. The beers taste very good, the selection of drinks is good, the price-performance ratio is okay. The cheese spaetzle was ok, but I've had better ones. Still worth a visit. Cheers!

Great service. Food good and served quickly. Whiskey served in style with a pipette to open the whiskey

All very tasty. But often quite crowded. So we recommend making a reservation 😉

Some good beers and a nice tour underground. I would come back for sure. I did not try the food here. Lots of friendly people too.

A dream. Wonderful home-brewed beer. Tried all types except the red wheat beer, all balanced for the respective brewing style and very tasty. Cellar beer with a delicious hop aroma, red beer is simply rustic, the black beer is not too “burnt” like e.g. Guinness. The red bock, malty, tasty and not too heavy. Sauerkraut as a side dish and the side salad weren't great, the rest, Schäufele and schnitzel, were pretty good.

Great red beer restaurant, delicious food, good service

I couldn't leave Nuremberg without tasting the food and the amazing beer. This place just hit the spot, i highly recommend!!

Very nicely located, nice service and very good food. Schäufele is highly recommended

Bellissima birreria sita nel pieno centro storico di Nürnberg. Le birre da loro prodotte sono eccezionali; menzione d'onore per la mitica Rotbier. Gioia accompagnata dalle tipiche e buonissime bratwursts e crauti. Servizio perfetto; presenti camerieri che masticano l'italiano! Inoltre, nelle belle serate estive, il locale dispone di una splendida corte sul retro, al riparo dal tran-tran turistico e cittadino. In sintesi, bellissima esperienza.

A great home brewery with delicious beers and fine whiskeys. It is only brewed with natural hops, i.e. umbels. Part of the old rock passageways is used as an alcohol storage facility for whiskey production. Highly recommended

Beautiful atmosphere, friendly staff and great food!

We visited the bar on a Saturday around 2pm and it was quite busy, but the waitress assigned us a window seat and we shared the table with other customers. We were lucky! The atmosphere was cosy and we chatted a little with the people sitting next to us. We ordered the typical red beer, the onion beer soup, oven-fresh pork shoulder in red beer sauce and the brewer's goulash with bread dumplings. The dumplings were delicious and the waitress recommended them. Although the staff don't speak much English, there was an English menu and we spoke some German. Overall it was a great experience!

The red beer is highly recommended

Salad completely without dressing. The young man who served us was unfortunately overwhelmed, very unfriendly and unprofessional. Overall overpriced. We were in your house on November 2nd, 2024, in the evening. The group “Bavarian Edelbrandsommeliers e.V.”

Great food, really great home-brewed beer. It's a shame that it's only available locally! Prices are OK in my opinion. The service wasn't always up to par when it was really busy, but it was always friendly and in a good mood.

Embarrassing experience with our guests who we wanted to show Nuremberg culinary to. Simple snacks took 1 hour to prepare, the beers were far too warm, stood in queues and perhaps that's why they were completely out of balance. The food nothing special. 2 points because at least the operation was evident.

Tasty beer! The waiters can be nicer though. Be prepared for too many customers, and the smell of sweat that comes with it :(

Tried the famous Rot Beer here and it was really delicious!! Do try their whiskey, it’s really special!!

We stopped by after the tour, tested the red beer and tried some tasty whiskeys. Is highly recommended!

The food is nothing special and rather nothing special. Only 3 points because it is more tailored to tourists The beer is all the better for that. The original red beer is very drinkable and worth a stop. The other types of beer are also good to drink. The atmosphere is very cozy - whether in the beer garden or inside. The staff always friendly.

Very friendly service, delicious food, good beer. Food for ten people arrived without delay so that everyone could eat together. Top. It was a successful evening

The first thing I’d like to point out is that this is A BAR. The restaurant is located in the inner yard. You need to go through the arch. As being a bar I liked the place. Not much space, but for having a drink - quite ok with me. The cozy warm lighting, wooden tables and chairs… that’s the way I imagined a local bar. You can order food here (the same menu as for the restaurant), but we went to the restaurant to eat once we knew that it exists. The food is tasty, portions are big enough to feel full and happy. I liked the lighter red beer but of course it depends on your taste and preferences. I’m not a whiskey fan, but it was good. Oh yeah, and it is not the only place, but sometimes waitresses do not speak English. You can pay by card :)

Great service. Food is fine in my opinion. Schnitzel very thick and a bit limp

Mega cool home brewery. After a great tour through the rock passageways, we had lunch there. Very tasty food and the (pro)beer 😂

Nice place to get good beer and typical local food.

We took a tour and then went to the beer parlor for a tasting. Very nice and friendly service.

Nice ambience and delicious Franconian cuisine.
