Hausbrauerei Altstadthof - Rotbierstüberl- Brauerei und Whiskydestillerie in Nürnberg

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!

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!

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.

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 🍻

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

Great red beer restaurant, delicious food, good service

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.”

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Excellent brewery. The restaurant is also good. Reservation required for the restaurant.

Very good food, extremely friendly service

Very tasty 😋 eat and very good craft beer.

Unfortunately our expectations were not met. We are locals who wanted to go out for a good meal in Nuremberg, but the Altstadthof is no longer an option, actually it's nicely decorated here, but: 1. It was drafty and therefore not very comfortable, 2. In addition, the children were warned immediately after entering the restaurant that they had to be careful when walking so that they did not bump into the waitress. I think that's more a matter for the waitress, not the children. 3. The Schäufele is rather expensive at 21.50, but it was no longer really hot, the red cabbage was cool, and the meat would have needed another hour in the oven (a bit tough), the sauce was heavily set and not very tasty The roast base lacks power (bag?) In short, there are better Schäufele in Franconia - and it is a prestige meal, we were disappointed, 4. The beer is ok, but just 0.4l

A German brewery that produces its own brand of beer. You can taste different assortments. Tasty!

Excellent schnitzel and good beer, in a nutshell!

Selbstgebrautes Bier. Wir hatten die Bierprobe "Schwarz Rot Gold" bestellt. Sehr lecker. Das Helle mit einem an Toffee erinnernden Geschmack. Das Rotbier süffig, und das Schwarzbier ungewöhnlich dicht. Kein Vergleich zu den üblichen Standardbieren. Unbedingt probieren. Dazu hatten wir als Kleinigkeit zum Essen das Probierbrettl, auch ganz lecker. Schöne Erfahrung.

Nice rustic restaurant, good red beer

Were here to drink Rotbier and the Rote Weisse (white beer). Is very tasty. The guest room is relatively small but rustic.

Had the driest bread in all of Franconia with my sausages. But was given a sachet of mustard to make up for it…server was very nice and the sausages were tasty but massively overpriced and the accompaniments were terrible. This place is a tourist trap and makes little effort

Service was fine. Food was laughable and frankly worse than I would have received at a fast food restaurant in the depths of Canada. Cannot believe I paid what I did here for the equivalent of a few terrible breakfast dishes and a lukewarm soup. Tourist trap would be a kind description of this place.

Very nice little pub with delicious beer and a nice atmosphere

Excellent attention from those who attend. Good food and nice place

Interesting bar, good beer (the red is excellent), with plenty of whiskys to sample too.

Very small place, better to book. Typical Nuremberg location with attached brewery. Good food, average price.

The soup, goulash, and cucumber salad were excellent.

We were given a tour of the cellar vaults and a brief tour of the whiskey barrels and brewing equipment. What was missing was the reason for visiting the brewery, a tasting to come home with gifts.

The food could be a little better.

A good place to taste beer and German whiskey. Not really a food destination

We came for the beer and it was worth it. We were there twice in total. We all thought the beers were very good. There is the option to order 0.2l. This is useful if you want to try different beers. The service was very good and very nice and friendly. Even when it gets crowded, everything is well under control here. Since the restaurant is right on the way to the castle, the places outside the door are particularly well attended when the weather is nice. Especially when you see the tasting glasses on the tables as you walk past, it invites you to stop. During our meal we were very satisfied with the Nuremberg bratwursts and the cheese spaetzle. Only the fried potatoes still have room for improvement. When served we were informed that they were not seasoned. We were given pepper and salt. No other ingredients seemed to have been used other than potatoes and oil. We found that rather unusual. In terms of taste, I find potatoes fried and seasoned with a little onions and bacon much better. My dessert recommendation: Red Bockbier. Why eat dessert when you can drink it.

We ended the evening here with beer and wine. Cozy atmosphere, but above all the great lady from the service made the evening complete.

My rating refers solely to the food. We ordered ratatouille and spaetzle with sauce. My ratatouille had a consistency, taste and appearance, as if it were leftover food for the pigs. Soggy vegetables in the "tomato water", tasteless and terrible. The spaetzle tasted like it came from a ready-made package in a thick, salty sauce, terrible. Well, I ask myself: are there responsible authorities that check the food and its quality??? I find it outrageous to offer something like this in a tourist city where thousands of people visit us and want to leave their money with us. Very unfortunate, very irresponsible and disrespectful.

I enjoyed it. However, the female server who works on weekday afternoons (after 4 p.m.) was waiting for us (2 people) to leave after we had finished eating. They asked us to pay with a 15% tip that was not agreed upon in advance. When I checked the amount because it was different, I proudly showed the receipt with the tip. You decide the amount, and I wonder what this is. I received 40 minutes of service from the employee, I would have happily decided on a tip if I had asked in advance, but it's really disappointing. An interim settlement was made to a former employee, Two people spent 48 euros.

Nice atmosphere, friendly service, nice beer selection, the food was okay.

So the red beer is really really good a 5 out of 5 The Baumeister steak with fried potatoes was unfortunately a disappointment. The fried potatoes were soggy, completely soggy and not at all crispy or golden brown as you would expect. In addition, they were floating in oil and were almost unseasoned, which greatly affected the taste. The steak was cooked to death and looked like it had come from a discount store - although you could probably have gotten a better piece of meat there. Overall, an unenjoyable dining experience that wasn't worth the price.

Perfekt im Innenhof an einem warmen Sommertag gesessen. Tolle Atmosphäre mit einer einheimischen großen Gruppe. Da schmecken die tollen Biere und Käsespätzle sowie Schaufeln gleich doppelt so gut! Service sehr freundlich. Wir kommen wieder.

A great location. Various beers on tap. All home-brewed. Except non-alcoholic beers. The red beer is the tastiest for me. The beer brandies and whiskeys are absolutely the tastiest in Nuremberg and beyond. They can compete with anyone in the world. Especially the whiskeys. I ate Obazda today. Quite terrific. When I'm in Nuremberg, I have to go there.

Courtyard seats outside were great and food and beer too.

Delicious local beer. There's not a lot of choice in food, but everything is very tasty.

We were there a couple of weeks ago. It was one of the recommendations of the freetour guide. They have many types of craft beers and the price-quality ratio is good. We ordered a tasting of three jugs with three types of craft beers, which are brewed in a war bunker located in a nearby square. You can make a visit but we didn't have time. Next door is the store where you can take souvenir beers. The attention was very good.

The salad with feta cheese is fresh and good. Black beer is delicious, red beer is special. You can order mix beer (with golden black and red beer in smaller size.) Restaurant is busy but the service is nice. Overall the quality and price is fair. Will want to visit again.

Whenever we are in the general vicinity (we come from Leipzig and regularly travel to the Alps), we try to take Nuremberg with us. Yes, Nuremberg is essentially a very, very beautiful city, but often the real reason is to visit the brewery. We love the rustic nature of your gastronomy, my mom loves apple fritters more than anything and red beer is my passion. Thanks for making us have a great time every time. We'll definitely be back soon. Greetings from Leipzig!

Very quaint little restaurant with its own brewery. I only tried beer and not the whiskey. Service was very nice and especially the sample beers were great. You can also buy to take away. Attention: you should reserve.

Really delicious, cool home-brewed beer and this wonderful backdrop, that was really wonderful. The MaiBockBrand is my recommendation for all beer brandy fans, the best I have drunk so far. We took a bottle with us (small shop is right next door). There is also a large beer garden inside and the brewery itself is also well worth seeing. I can recommend everyone who visits Nuremberg to stop there, the beer is so delicious.

Very nice restaurant with traditional German cuisine and wonderful atmosphere!

Super tasty, great service, we'll be back.

The best beers in Nuremberg! They have many types of craft beers and the value for money is great. If you come, come with time to try at least one of each type of beer and if you like it there is the store next door so you can take souvenir beers. The waitress's attention is incredible, she is super friendly and speaks German, English and some words in Spanish, she is charming and very pleasant.

Atmosphere was great, sitting outside on a summer evening was very nice. Tried a cheese plate that was tasty and the beeramisu dessert was delicious. The shaufele was a little bland, but that might just be how shaufele is. The drinks are the real draw here though. The German flag beer flight, malzliqör, and Martinique rum cask aged whiskey were all excellent!

Very good craft beers. Excellent Bier Schnaps and highly recommended!

The selection of beer is very good, especially red beer and highly recommended. Unfortunately, the service is typically quite unfriendly for this city and the response to questions and orders is annoyed.

A great place, atmospheric restaurant, very good food and a large selection of drinks. Prices are unfortunately rather higher.

We went to the rock corridors for a guided tour and then ate there. I ordered two different menus with drinking accompaniments in advance. The service was super friendly and nice and everything tasted wonderful and the right alcohol always came straight away with the meal or right when we arrived. We had a wonderful evening. Many thanks to the kitchen and the great service team 💕

After a really great tour through the rock passageways, we spontaneously decided to have lunch in the cozy inner courtyard/summer garden and spent a cozy, relaxing lunch break here. Beer: great (Rotbier / RoteWeisse) Schäufele: large portion, super tender and juicy with a perfectly crispy crust, potato dumplings and sauerkraut also very fine, the red beer sauce could still be improved (a little pale), but overall absolutely okay Pan schnitzel: well, it was okay, but we wouldn't order it again, it was a bit carelessly fried, not really crispy, the potato salad could also have used more love Service: very nice, unfortunately a bit messy and uncoordinated, but it could also have been due to the extra-stressful bard meeting weekend 😉 We would definitely stop here again if we are in the area and get thirsty/hungry.

Franconian restaurant with great beer. It's worth reserving a table when booking the rock paths. We really enjoy eating there, but when we visit spontaneously it usually looks very bad.

Great as always. Very interesting tour by Richard.

Unfortunately I have to deduct a few points because of the absolutely unfriendly service. I recommend switching to a business without customer contact; Be careful, customer threatens with sales.

Great tour of the rock gardens. Dinner afterwards was delicious, friendly service, nice place to eat outside.

Had Schäufele with dumplings and red cabbage. Tried several types of beer. Were completely satisfied. Nice atmosphere, friendly service. Gladly again.

Our rating refers solely to the food. Our adventure started when the hut was closed for renovation. So we took what was supposed to be the next best alternative and were very disappointed. Schäufele was ordered with sauerkraut. We got **cold** red cabbage. The taste and consistency of the dumplings came from the Pfanni ready-made package. The Schäufele wasn't the worst, but it was a third of what you get in the Hütt'n. The beer sauce was also completely unconvincing in terms of taste and consistency. More specifically: it tasted watery and had a strange film. Presumably also finished goods. Now we come to the price. €51.50 for 2x Schäufele and Cola. This is outrageous for what is offered to you. To everyone who likes to enjoy Franconian cuisine; goes to the hut. Afterwards you can come here for a beer.

We placed our order 40-50 minutes in advance, but no food came out at all and the group that arrived much later than us received their food first. The female employee who took our order came and asked if we wanted dessert, but she said we didn't even get any food. Then he said he would place the order and check with the kitchen.

Since I came to Nuremberg, I went to try rotbier. I tried many different beers during my trip to Germany, but this was the best for me. If it wasn't for R's, I would have liked to have tried the three types of sampler, but I was disappointed. I was only going to drink beer, so I ordered sausage from the starter menu, and it was delicious and not too salty. In fact, I enjoyed it more than at a restaurant famous for its sausages.

Overall offer is good but there is a lot going on at the weekend

This is how a home brewery should be. Nice service, cozy outdoor area and good prices. We had a wonderful time there.

We got a place spontaneously, the staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was rustic, just as we had hoped. Super tasty Schäuffele and the red beer was a must!

Great restaurant with great Schäufele and the best whiskey in town!

Super tasty beers, there are tasting offers with three different beers. The tour of the beer cellars and the brewery is highly recommended!

I had a sampler of 3 beers and sausages. The sausage is so delicious!!!!! I had sauerkraut and French fries on the side and both were delicious. I recommend seating outside haha.

Great small brewery. They have a small, hole in the wall Taproom just slightly to the north of where the main restaurant and brewery is (just walk about 30 meters). Excellent beer and reasonable pricing for the area.

A great restaurant! The Nurembergers were very tasty! And the house beer was outstanding!!! I can recommend it to everyone! Service top! Unobtrusive but always there if you needed something!

Very helpful and friendly service, the cold hopped summer beer was an unexpected revelation. Very nicely done!

Deliciosa comida - tuvimos el Bauernsalat, salchichas de Nuremberg, y el pfannenschnitzel con kartoffelsalat y blaukraut. Cada uno de estos sabía incluso mejor que las recetas de mi madre y ella creció en Nuremberg! La cerveza era irresistible. El personal era amable y servicial, nos sentimos muy bienvenidos y el ambiente era relajado y auténtico. Probamos otros restaurantes, pero volvimos aquí tres veces y cada vez comimos tanto que no necesitábamos desayuno o cena, solo el almuerzo! ¡Lo MEJOR! Gracias Ana! < 3

Fantastic! Friendly staff, delicious food (just like Nürnberger mutti makes, maybe even better but don’t tell her!) and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Couldn’t be happier. Pfannenschnitzel and blaukraut are amazing.
