Heino Steinkers Almdorf in Augsburg

What a delightful experience at this charming beer garden nestled in the stunning historical ruins of Augsburg! The setting itself is magical, blending rich history with a relaxed atmosphere. We decided to dive into their local beers and tried the pilsner, which was crisp and refreshing. We also sampled the goiß, a unique mix of dark beer with cola and cherry liquor. It was a fun choice to help us beat the heat, though I found it a bit too sweet for my taste. The food was a pleasant surprise too! We ordered some pommes and a fresh salad, and both were delicious. The fries were just the right amount of crispy, and the salad had a vibrant flavor that paired well with our drinks. The ambiance is warm and welcoming, filled with friendly locals and attentive staff who made us feel right at home. It’s a perfect spot to unwind and enjoy great company, tasty food, and excellent local brews. I highly recommend spending an afternoon here—it's truly a gem in Augsburg!

Overpriced, over €5 for a plate of fries, which weren't exactly a hit. Also, the food options aren't clearly advertised, there are large boards for drinks and a few specials displayed with menu items listed, but it's unclear exactly what the entire menu includes. Relatively long wait times, and the staff are moderately friendly. Then the card reader brazenly asks for a tip before you can even pay. Tipping should be considered an extra bonus, usually only given for outstanding service or ambiance. Neither was really present, at least with street vendors. The hygiene standards are also interesting if you take a look into the "kitchen." The employees simply eat individual fries from the bowl of fries with their hands, without gloves. It doesn't exactly make you hungry when you finally get your food several minutes later. The health department will definitely be happy the next time they stop by. I wouldn't recommend it. I'm already looking forward to the operator's toxic response (just look at the other reviews with criticism that are being made fun of). Edit: This is ridiculous. I think the kiosk operator doesn't understand the meaning of "review." Of course, it's subjective, based on one's own impression during the visit. It was never claimed that this was an objective investigation or large-scale scientific study. I can only speak from my own experience. And it wasn't good. Besides, he seems to be twisting every word three times and taking himself too seriously. I recommend professional help.

A very nice beer garden with shady seating under large trees. Delicious beer and a nice selection of food. The Riegele Spritz is a must-try.

Disappointing visit to the beer garden – a shame about the beautiful ambiance Our visit to the Reespark Restaurant in the Abraxas Cultural Center was unfortunately a real disappointment. Upon entering the beer garden, we noticed that the staff seemed extremely listless and disinterested. Before we were even seated, newly arriving guests were informed that due to low occupancy, they would be closing at 8:00 PM – it was only early evening (6:00 PM). It's understandable that some of them turned back immediately. Our table was also dirty with bird droppings, which were neither noticed nor removed. When I ordered a plate of aspic, I received a carelessly presented, ready-made product poured directly from a plastic cup onto my plate. There was no sign of it being freshly prepared. By 7:40 PM, the beer garden was still full of around 20 people. When we tried to order more drinks, we were told that they had to be finished by 8:00 PM – after all, they were closing. Hospitality isn't the same. Conclusion: If the newly arrived guests hadn't been treated so discouragingly, the beer garden would have easily been filled by another 15 people. The discontent was also clearly palpable at the other tables. As nice as the place itself is – with this kind of staff and this attitude, I absolutely don't recommend it.

A large, pleasantly shady beer garden with a tolerable noise level even with a large number of guests. Very friendly staff and fast service. Drinks have to be ordered separately. Guests sit at beer tables.
