Hofbräu in Bamberg

Good food and drink. Very crowded. Prices have already increased quite a bit.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “A perfect day at the Hofbauhaus! Today my friend Sebastian and I had the pleasure of visiting this wonderful restaurant and we loved it. The atmosphere is cozy and authentic, the staff warm and attentive, and the food was simply a delight. The dishes were lovingly prepared and exceeded our expectations. We thoroughly enjoyed the visit and look forward to returning soon. Absolutely recommended for everyone who is in Bamberg!”

The Krusrenbraten with savoy cabbage and loos is simply delicious

A beer drinking atmosphere inside is nice

Price/performance okay Very nice and quick service Tasty in taste

Yummy! And the staff is very friendly!

The savoy cabbage stomp wasn't really our thing, but everything else was great. Service was super attentive and friendly.

The food is good. We were a group of 17 people, unfortunately we sat together quite uncomfortably

Top address for tourists and Bambergers!!!! Great service, food, drinks and location!

We were there as a large group and had reserved. The staff was extremely friendly and listened to our needs.

Mega delicious food from the region at affordable prices. Highly recommended.

Delicious food in the middle of the old town!

What a tourist who only spends a short time in Bamberg is looking for. Simple German cuisine, regional drinks. Busy place. Very nice service. Relatively cheap.

Short and sweet, perfect......great food, great beer...

Very cozy beer house with delicious regional food

Specialty in smoked beer, very good restaurant

Very friendly staff and delicious food for my taste. Highly recommended

We only stopped here for a beer at the outside bar. The staff is friendly and attentive and brought the order to the table quickly. Prices are typical for the area and are okay. I can't give a review of the food on offer.

We had to visit Bamberg and try the famous Rauchbier. It heard it was an acquired taste, I thought it was good and very different. My wife quite liked it. Hofbrau was a pleasant establishment with extremely friendly service. The bar tenders were extremely busy yet very attentive and since we had to sit at the bar because the place is very busy, but they were great. They have great vegan options..I had the vegetable red curry and it was wonderful. I highly recommend this place.

We came here for the Rauchbier and the vegan options. Btw, the Rauchbier ist sehr gut! The staff are incredibly friendly (and very busy) and made sure we had beers and great food. My husband had the Veganes rotes GEMÜSEcurry (referenced as spicy but it isn’t) and I had the Veganes Gemüse-RATATOUILLE. Das schmeckt gut! We loved it all and were super thankful for the vegan options!

Good food, friendly and fast service, reasonable prices.

Very good for tasting local dishes with smiling service 😃

Delicious traditional German food, great ambience, superb service. We tried local food and beer and also the Bamberg's famous smoked beer. Everything was great!

It's very comfortable to sit here, good service.

Fast, friendly and attentive staff and very tasty food. I would love to come back here.

Continuous kitchen, so I could still eat the Schäuferle even after 2 p.m. This was well done. The service welcomes you with the typically open Franconian manner and is very prompt and on the ball. Thanks for the delicious time! Best regards!

Perfect. Good location. Delicious food and delicious beer.

Perfect crusty roast. At least 5 stars! Super delicious crispy crust!

Today we visited here to treat ourselves to a hot mulled wine to go. As usual from our previous visits, the quality and price were absolutely OK and the young man in service was super nice and quick. As always everything is great and see you soon! Of course we had to have dinner soon and we were served really good food with roast and kree meat. Great and see you soon!

Nice place to sit for a short beer, but sadly the beer was not cold. We had two different beers and both were quite warm. Wouldn't come back, cause of that.

Eat very, very good wine. Top service will come again!

After all, beer is delicious The french fries also had a good potato flavor. The potato dumplings had an indescribable rubber-like elasticity that didn't suit me. The waiter's brother was kind and gave me a good impression.

Good beer and friendly service. What more could you want?

Typical brewery with local delicacies

Definitely worth visiting and dining a full German cultural and culinary experience. Very pleasant staff and service with patience for my English and small amount of German. Also, the food tasted phenomenal for a reasonable price. The atmosphere is quintessential Franconia, Germany.

The waiter is very annoyed and unfriendly. I've had better liver dumpling soup.

We had something to drink in the outdoor restaurant. The restaurant is on a street corner and cars, motorcycles and bicycles drive right past the seating area.

Nice location Very nice to sit outside and also inside to eat. Good service.

Good food at fair prices in the middle of the city center. What more could you want?

Delicious food, were there for the Sandkerwa, had sauerbraten. Beer poured poorly.

We wanted to have a little something to drink and eat there and just sat down in a free place and were immediately insulted and asked if we were new. We saw afterwards that we would have had to wait until the place was assigned to us. You could have said that in a friendly way.

Great and lively restaurant in the middle of Bamberg. We were warmly welcomed and the food was tasty, as was the beer and wine. Thoroughly recommended.

Excellent food, like homemade, excellent beers, superb beer

Very tasty food, nice staff. TOP location in the old town. Highly recommended.

Clocky, full and yet attentive service, food hearty and delicious.

Nice place with very friendly and helpful staff.

Food tastes excellent, good portion and inexpensive

Warm evening and the tables in front of the house, fast service and it was tasty.

When the weather is nice, it's best to sit outside. We did a city tour and decided on the Hofbräu. There are many nice restaurants. The food was very good for us. The crusty roast with savoy cabbage was particularly popular. I wanted something from the region that I can only recommend. I also had a smoked beer which goes really well here from the region. The venison sausage that my wife ordered is also good. I can only recommend the city and the restaurant. It's worth it here. We will definitely come back.

There is good home cooking here. The food tasted good and the service was quick and friendly. If you want a hearty meal, this is the right place for you.

The food is regional and good, but not outstanding or special and, compared to other restaurants in the surrounding area, not worth more than a visit. Price/performance is okay and the selection on the menu is limited to the regional standard. Due to Bamberg's charm, the ambience outside is worlds better than inside, and sometimes very crowded.

Good home-style food. Really super tasty. Great beer, fresh from the tap. Attentive and fast service coupled with a friendly and open manner towards the guests. What more do you want? Really great, just keep it up! Really recommended.

Good home-style food, can be recommended.

The vegetable ratatouille was tasty, but very salty. 2 bread baskets, 1 drink and the jasmine rice were not enough to compensate. Otherwise everything was great and delicious

Visit on Thursday, June 20th evening During our 3-day stay in Bamberg, we noticed the Hofbräu in Bamberg and decided to stop there. The Hofbräu von Bamberg is in a good location in the old town of Bamberg and has existed for 25 years. When we asked for a table, we were assigned one because it was free at the time - important for later events. An order: > Colamix 0.4l for €4.50 > Inge (Prosecco spritzer with ginger syrup & lime) 0.2l for €7.50 > Liver dumpling soup (bouillon of boiled beef with homemade liver dumplings) for €6.40 > small wild herb salad with baguette for €4.50 > Side salad with the main course for €3.50 > Crusty roast from Franconian pork with savoy cabbage and dumpling for €16.80 > Dumpling with sauce for €5.80 Food was good so far, but while we were eating, an employee came and suddenly placed a reserved sign on our table with the time 6 p.m. without saying anything. Less than 3 minutes later, another employee came, also took the reserved sign and changed the time by another half hour, to 5:30 p.m., again without telling us anything. We found the entire process very inhospitable and subsequently decided not to order dessert or anything similar because the restaurant apparently planned differently. Therefore, there are big deductions in the service note because you can actually communicate this with the guest.

Everything is just right: a cafe during the day, then a bit of a pub (you meet at the bar), a (good Franconian) restaurant for lunch and dinner, fancy a cocktail? Casual, pleasant atmosphere within historic walls, outdoor spaces available. Staff competent, Hansi, the landlord, is an original. Absolutely centrally located in the middle of the historic old town, direct connection to public transport, parking options (underground car park) not far away. Do not miss!

Great restaurant in Bamberg, everything was perfect, there is also a great, delicious beer selection. We recommend.

You eat very well here, unfortunately the service doesn't pay that much attention to those who have been sitting for a long time. U wait, but the only thing I would like is that we weren't overlooked anymore. It happened more often, but otherwise there's nothing to complain about. The waitresses are also very nice and very diligent then everything to make amends👍

Good location in the middle of the old town. We were invited to a party, otherwise we wouldn't go to such tourist restaurants. Food was surprisingly good, prices were a bit higher given the location. Service was very attentive. However, if you like it quieter, you should consider stopping here.

Worst service in the city...it was raining and windy and the employee didn't want to let us sit inside the restaurant...he kept complaining and insulting me and my husband because we sit inside the restaurant, we had no choice but to leave in the rain. Don't give any stars for the lack of politeness of the attendant inside. I don't recommend the place. There are better places in the city.

Quaint, a bit narrow. Food tasty and staff quick. Gladly again

So the family of 5 went out to eat: -Cola ordered and the cheap version from Aldi was served, non-carbonated -had to wait an hour for food and had to watch others come after us and receive their food and leave again. I can't recommend it more :)

Great ambience, very tasty food rounded off with very friendly and attentive staff, we had a wonderful evening 🤩

Nice old economy. Nice facility. Short waiting times. Good food, normal portion sizes. Prices ok.

Just visited for a nightcap at the end of an eventful day in Bamberg. Enjoyed a good beer at the bar table and enjoyed the hustle and bustle in the streets around.

Very nice restaurant. Great service. Place to feel good. The crusty roast will make you rave

Drank a delicious beer. Great location.

Very tasty food, nice service and nice ambience.

Rustic Mut beer garden in the backyard

Quaint brewery, very attentive and friendly service.

Wiener Schnitzel was good as expected - unfortunately the portions of the colleagues were a bit too small for a hearty Hofbräuhaus... Location but super central and the people in the shop are extremely friendly

Warm hospitality in a cozy inn. Delicious Franconian Schmeggerwöhlerchens.

Service stressed, beer selection for Bamberg underground, seating right at the bar and so you can hear the employees gossiping about the guests. Maybe interesting for tourists because of the location, otherwise please no.

Had roast pork and a dark beer. It was delicious!

The Hofbräu is very centrally located in Bamberg. We only came here in the evening to have a drink at the bar. The menu suggests somewhat higher priced food. Very busy restaurant. The service at the counter was excellent. A good selection of drinks, delicious beer, delicious spirits. One tip is the naturally cloudy fruit schnapps.

Super friendly service, very good food, great atmosphere. Also in the beer garden outside.

The waitress picked up two of the three dishes incorrectly. Food was good and tasted good.

Food Simply delicious, the recommendation is clearly the Schäufele. The service here is perfectly attentive but not intrusive. The ambience is tailored precisely to the location and simply fits in with everything else around it.

The extremely unfriendly waiter initially made no effort to make the group feel valued as guests in any way. The reserved table was too small for the announced number of people. Apparently he didn't like that. But the food was good and you were full. Actually a typical tourist shop. Can be done, does not have to be.

Good spot in the middle of the city, the food was very tasty and the price-performance ratio was also very good. Definitely worth recommending if you're in town

Very cozy place to eat and have a drink with friends.

We had a very comfortable meal there. The savoy cabbage was just a little too overcooked for me, more like puree. The crusty roast was delicious and the dumpling was also good. The chocolate cake was warm and... Yummy. The rhubarb liqueur is also recommended. Service was nice and accommodating. We would definitely go there again 😀.

Unfortunately it was a bit hot, so you sweated. Otherwise food, drink, service, value for money and ambience TOP!

A fancy pub and the waiter outside reprimands you if you sit just 20 cm too far to the left! Very sad - good luck to the owner with this approach!

The food is super tasty, the service is great, everyone is really friendly, the fries are like something from your childhood, it's just beautiful, it's a reason to come here more often, I can only recommend it 😎

Harsh and unfriendly service. I had the feeling that I should just be processed quickly. I left immediately.

Went to the Hofbräu as a group. Nice service, delicious food and sitting outside when the weather is nice. We recommend.

Food was ok. The service was super nice and on point.

Very nice old brewery. Food top. Nice service.

Very nice, authentic restaurant. The waitresses are extremely competent and friendly.

Typically quaint but very tasty.

Delicious food, friendly service, we were lucky to get a table as a group

Very good food, excellent service, very friendly

Ciao you guys, everything is always great, whether the roulades or asparagus, super nice friendly service, cool boss and great wine list 🇮🇹

The food and beer were very delicious. I especially recommend Rauchbier. The employees are extremely kind. While we were eating, they offered us drinks because another customer was disturbing us. Thanks for everything it was a great experience. 😌 If you come to Bamberg, this is a restaurant you should definitely visit.

Good tasteful food, beer too. You should take a look.

The HOFBRÄU in Bamberg has been our favorite place to be a few times a year since 2010, both for lunch and in the evening! Here you will always find a small, fine selection of classics of home-style cuisine, prepared seasonally, regionally and with high quality craftsmanship and newly interpreted. This time, for example, there was black pudding baked in wonton dough, on lentil salad and baguette - really sensational! This appetizer alone was absolutely worth the visit! A taste experience that was really fun. The guest room in the Art Deco style is simply great and always wins us over, not least because of the changing art exhibitions: this time photographic art by Uwe Gaasch, idiosyncratic, avant-garde, worth seeing, just like the HOFBRÄU! Always my pleasure! Absolute recommendation!

It was quite busy... We still got a table for three people relatively quickly. The food was tasty but unfortunately not really warm...

We ended up here by chance at the beginning of our short vacation and spent three of four evenings here. Everything is perfect: the food (including asparagus with veal schnitzel) is great. The conditions are (all) very, very nice. The atmosphere is just right. But you should make a reservation. Overall eats high. Heike and Heiko

Eaten and drank well. The service was attentive and professional.
