Klosterbräu Bamberg in Bamberg

I can warmly recommend Klosterbräu to every beer lover. We had a fantastic brewery tour with Caro beforehand. She really told us a lot about the history of beer in and around Bamberg with a lot of fun and knowledge. Thank you again for this. Afterwards we still had enough time to enjoy the good beer and delicious food in the restaurant. Overall, it was a great lunch for us at the Klosterbräu.

Perfect service, very rustic atmosphere. A successful evening for us. Thanks to all

Great food and a great atmosphere, especially the beer was sensational! You have to visit it once

Fantastic brewery pub, have multiple of their own beers on tap (en fass), an unfiltered beer and a dark beer being my favourites. Staff were friendly and happy to joke and quickly switched to English when hearing my poor German.

Had a nice tour of the brewery and delicious beer

Very good bock...when drinking bock beer

Very friendly waiter - gave us competent advice on the individual types of beer.

Great brewery restaurant. There is the very cozy rustic restaurant and the beautifully renovated brewery cellar. The staff is consistently very friendly. The dishes are hearty and very good. The most important thing - the beer is top and varied. You should go if you are in Bamberg.

Food good, beer excellent. Ambiance - well, old, small, simple guest rooms. Service - outrageous. Unfortunately I have to say that. We reserved a week in advance and were given the service table right next to the counter. But what really made me angry was that even though we were sitting right next to the counter, the waiter at the counter completely ignored us. He was constantly serving walk-in customers, but he consistently ignored us. After almost a quarter of an hour (!) I made my presence known and a cheeky “take it easy” came back! Finally - after another 5 minutes - he found the time to ask us what we were getting. Thanks for that!

The new hall was a bit noisy and impersonal, but the service was excellent and the food was terrific.

Nice location, very good food and delicious beer.

One of the best beers in Bamberg. Nice rustic room. Absolute recommendation

Really German, room with many tables and busy Germans and only half liters. Guided tours super educational but little insight into the working company.

Absolutely world class beers, fast service.

Absolutely great, the bock beer alone was good😅😅😅 Unfortunately there is no picture of the food because the plate was empty faster than I could take the picture. He just shouted, eat me, you don't have time to take pictures.😋😋😋😋

Excellent Franconian Bier ! Nice outdoor seating.

We stopped here at short notice after a short hike for lunch. The old cellar has been beautifully and simply restored. Apparently they worked with acoustic panels, because despite the old vault and the many people, the volume was really bearable. Beer and food both came quite quickly, the service was friendly and on point. The beer tasted very good, the food was also tasty and sufficiently portioned. Price/performance top. Gladly again!

Oldest Brewery in Bamberg is certainly worth the visit. Traditional in every way. Loved the Brown Beer.

You can recommend food and drinks without a guilty conscience. There is still a bit of room for improvement in terms of service and friendliness. Small example... I'm normally used to thanking the guests and saying goodbye after paying (with a tip). These are the little things you learn in life. But otherwise I would happily recommend the restaurant.

We were there as a group. Everything went well. Food very good. Drinks always available. Highly recommended.

We were assured three times that there was no caraway on the shovel... the cabbage was covered in caraway and mustard seeds, the meat had no taste. Of course we had to pay full price. No animal should die for such bad food...

The positive first: the beers are really good - it's worth trying some here. Unfortunately, the service was not so good as it seemed rather slow or overwhelmed. You had to draw a lot of attention to yourself to even be able to order anything. Food was okay. But I would go here again just for the beers.

Unfortunately it was raining when we visited so couldn't use the outside terrace. We were served by a stern and unfriendly gentleman but the beer was good. Huge cellar room at the rear which was very busy.

Excellent service! Good beer! Great ambience! What more do you want? 👍👍👍 I can't say anything about the food because we only drank!😁

Simply confident even with a little more crowds. The cellar beer is great. Very happy again!

"It's a shame that you're no longer allowed to sing songs after 7:15 p.m. This isn't an attractive option for young people under 25!" The landlord is extremely strict! Not recommended!

Quaint restaurant with very good beer. Schnitzel was just okay, but we were also more there for the beer.

Super unfriendly service. If I had been alone, I would have left. The others felt the same way.

First-class food and delicious beer from our own brewery, which is also nice to visit 😁

Just had a quick beer. But it was delicious and the atmosphere there was very nice.

Classic brewery with good food and great beers. Can only recommend. The classic is “Schwärzla”, a strong dark beer, but there are also other varieties. However, I can recommend the schnitzel type of food.

Had to wait 20 minutes, then after waving an unfriendly waitress came: What do you want? (English). Then just continue at speed. Didn't get much better - definitely room for improvement!

Four of us were there on Saturday lunchtime, we had reserved early and that was a good thing. In the cozy dining room everything is usually full, but there is still the vault with a lot of seats, so you should always get a seat. The host and the service are generally very friendly and attentive. The waiting time was great when the restaurant was full and the quality of the food was excellent. The Jägerschnitzel was nice and crumbly, the sauerbraten was tender as butter and the Schäuferla was perfect. We'll be back.

We called and wanted to make a reservation for two people, we were told it wasn't necessary, we could always find space for two. When we arrived there was no space available, although many large tables were free at the moment, certainly reserved for groups or other people. We were supposed to ask if there was room in the basement, but there wasn't. Klosterbräu in Bamberg was our favorite brewery and went there every time we were in Bamberg. Not anymore. Too bad.

Very nice new terrace, well worth seeing

The beers taste very good there. Especially the brown and smoked beer

As I sat there sipping on one of their smoked beers. I found myself transformed into a Franciscan monk, wearing nothing but a robe, a rope, a cap and raising my index finger up in attention. Really good beer!

At the Bamberg beer festival we entered this brewery, their aromatic black beer was delicious... the following morning we visited the brewery 😃👏

Had a beer on the terrace above the river. Nice atmosphere - unfortunately service was unmotivated and annoyed, so only a short visit.

The disastrous service ruined the experience. A very nice beer garden in and of itself, but that's no use if you have to wait over 20 minutes for 2 drinks to be able to order them first. There were 4 waiters in sight at the time, one of whom was just busy putting up reservation signs. And the rest probably didn't want to work. The other guests also waved several times to pay/order. One employee simply waved back. Very, very bad

Went again Service ignorant and super unfriendly Waiting time over 20 minutes for an order. Don't come back

Great location in a quaint, beautiful, old brewery, but with poor service (poorly organized and unfriendly, drinks not complete, food not coming at the same time) and food below average for Bamberg standards (Schäuferla dry, Jägerschnitzel with thick, squishy breading). There are much better breweries and cellars in Bamberg.

Very good beer, delicious Franconian cuisine, great service and the ambience you are looking for in Bamberg.

Mixed feelings, not sure if would come back. The food was uneven (My God, the escallops with mushrooms were divine, the pork shoulder and cabbage not very flavourful). The table was little bit dirty, wouldn't hurt to wipe it before sitting the guests.

The food was very good, for me the tastiest beer in Bamberg.....only the service was a bit sloppy. Due to a lack of skilled workers!

Ordered schnitzel with spaetzle, When asked repeatedly, we didn't get any sauce. How can you serve such a dry dish in the kitchen? Disgusting

Again delicious 😋 eaten and drank, with really nice staff 👍🏼

In my opinion the best place to drink beer in Bamberg! The prices are super affordable, I could almost say cheap for German prices. The service is fast and the waiters are friendly. Beautiful Biergarten in the back with a view of the lake.

Great beer and food with great service and ambience. Gladly again at any time 😃

The food here is really nothing special and there is still a lot of earth/sand in the salad! The Klosterbräu scores with good beer, friendly service and a beautiful beer garden with a view of the Regnitz.

Price/performance really great.

Schäuferla Ultras Watch out! No chance of a Schäuferla between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. Service kept us waiting for a long time.

Unacceptable service. Unfortunately the waiting time is not in relation to the quality of the food. Not recommended.

Unfortunately we waited a long time and the service wasn't very friendly

Very good beer and great prices. Beer garden with a view of the water

Very good beer, great ambience... Just like before...

After the interesting brewery tour, we actually booked a table. This was even confirmed by phone the day before, but it didn't quite work out and it was reorganized. Thanks for the alternative, we sat on a separate terrace. The orders took a long time, which was certainly due to the lack of staff, but the waitress made a real effort. Unfortunately the food wasn't that satisfying, once the bread was completely missing, the next had completely dry bread from the previous day.

Siamo stai per cena ieri sera, volevamo stare fuori ma minacciava pioggia ed il cameriere ci ha chiesto di acvomodarci dentro... Siamo stati nella parte più rustica, ovvero la birreria e mangiato la famosa spalla di maiale, schauferla.. Io ho preso un ottimo gulash, leggermente piccante ma fatto a regola d'arte..! Unico neo, credo che il cameriere fosse arrabbiato, era da solo ed aveva molto da fare, quindi era un presenza disagiate, parlava fra se e se... Con noi è stato gentilissimo. Ci tengo a dirlo..!

Locale classico tedesco nel centro di Bamberga con posti all’aperto in una cantina moderna. I piatti sono pochi ma di discreta qualità e il punto di forza è la birra, veramente ottima. Consigliato

Wonderfully tasty beers. And the liver dumpling soup was delicious too! We will be back!

It was simply magnificent. First, the excellently guided tour of the brewery, which an apprentice and passionate brewer named Caro gave us lots of exciting information. Afterwards we went to the beer garden with a view of the river, great beer and delicious food. Definitely one of the highlights in Bamberg.

A world-class corner to linger with good beer and food. The service is quick and accurate. 10 out of 10

We visited the Klosterbräu because it was on our agenda as the oldest brewery. And the cellar beer was really fantastic! However, unfortunately we couldn't enjoy our stay at all. The waiter was just rude and rude from start to finish. We were yelled at because we asked where we could sit. The waiter also treated other guests rudely. We were shocked. As I was paying, I asked if we should take his behavior personally or if he's just like that all the time. There were then explanations that he was stressed and that some guests took so long to choose. But that doesn't matter to me as a guest! If you don't like doing the job, you should just leave it. Just terrible service. Because of the atmosphere, we didn't eat anything there. The outside area is nice, but we weren't inside. Never again, what a shame!

Everything was fine. From the brewery tour to the beer and the Schäufla. The restaurant has no new-fangled decoration and the service is friendly, competent and on the ball. The best smoked beer I have ever drunk.

We stopped in for a quick beer before picking up some bottles to take away as gifts. Friendly service, good beer, great prices

Schnitzel tasted good, simply 10/10. The nice red-haired waitress served us very well and was also super friendly. I can only recommend Klosterbräu

The best beer in town, fantastic food and great service.

Extremely unpleasant service staff in sweatpants as soon as he opens his mouth. Food and drink good. Ambience also very nice. However, I have never felt so uncomfortable because of every initially simply unusual and unpleasant, later arrogant and snippy comment from the service staff. Extremely negative vibes/vibrations. You just want to sink into the ground - so unpleasant. If something doesn't work, for example that the food unfortunately stopped coming, then you communicate it with a few sincere words and apologies and maybe offer an espresso or whatever, but don't blame everyone else and say that you haven't made any mistakes yourself. Successfully ensured that almost 20 people would never come back.

Unfortunately we cannot recommend the restaurant. Everything went wrong that evening. Numerous guests (including us) left the restaurant disappointed and angry. After waiting for more than an hour for the food, it suddenly said that no more food would come. It's an absurdity that this was only said after repeated requests. The guests then left the restaurant in droves. The service was visibly overwhelmed. Overall, a nice atmosphere, with an absolutely subterranean performance. Unfortunately there are no zero stars because this restaurant really deserves it today.

Did not try food but beverages 🍻were very, very good 😉at least Kellerbier and Rauchbier and just for 3.90.

Very tasty food and a cool location, but unfortunately overshadowed by the behavior of one of the employees. Very aggressive behavior when ordering drinks and food. This continued throughout the entire visit and we didn't feel welcome at all. A pity!

Quite a cozy place, lots of locals, food quite okay, beer tastes great

Even though we made a reservation, we couldn't get a seat because the restaurant forgot to block our table. After we got a table after 30 minutes of vigorous pursuit, it took 60 minutes until we got drinks. And when it came to drinks, the waiters sometimes brought double drinks, but we didn't order them. In the end, of course, we should pay for them too. The food came much quicker, but it tasted like thawed fast food. All in all we will never go to this store again.

Beer garden in the old town on the banks of the Regnitz. The service still has room for improvement, the food is beer garden standard.

Reservations are not taken seriously. After making the reservation we had to wait 1 hour for the “actually reserved” table. Service is overwhelmed, drinks are only served upon request. Food ok but nothing special.

Service completely overwhelmed. Didn't get a reserved table. Food OK.

Typical, solid german food; good taste but nothing flashy. The brewery's own beer are excellent and there is a great view from the terrace over the nearby river.

Unfortunately only outdoor dining… Good selection of food and drinks. Great beer... Super Service

Very nice atmosphere directly on the Regnitz. The food is very good and the price is really fair. The service is friendly and the waiting time is also short. A clear recommendation!

We sat in the beer garden and had a smoked beer. A nice stop for tourists.

One of the insider tips in Bamberg. Oldest brewery in town. Simply wonderful

Super cozy atmosphere. Even though we were there early in the evening, the Klosterbräu was already very busy. The friendly gentleman at the counter was able to organize two seats for us. Great, thanks again for that. The thank you is of course also aimed at all other employees who offer an all-round good service. We will definitely come back again.

Naughty waiters and bad treatment Our visit to the Klosterbräu Bamberg was a real failure. We were particularly impressed by the waiter who served us. He was rude and rude, constantly made inappropriate comments and made us feel unwanted. When we politely asked about a change in our order, he reacted annoyed and snappy. I have never experienced such treatment in a restaurant. Absolutely not recommended!

We had to wait forever until a service finally came. She then initially explained to us that the menu was no longer offered, but only a limited offer, which was annoying because we had come at normal lunch times. The vaulted cellar is new, but seemed cool and uninviting to me. The brown beer tasted watery, the other beers were good.

I was really looking forward to my visit to the Bamberg monastery brewery, but was seriously disappointed. The staff was snippy, unfriendly and not service oriented at all. As soon as I ordered I felt like a burden and my questions were answered in an annoyed and stroppy manner. I have rarely experienced such rude treatment. It's a real shame because the atmosphere is actually very nice. But the interaction with the guests really spoiled my stay. I definitely won't go here again. Hopefully the service will improve soon so that you can enjoy your visit.

Unfriendly waiter made us not enjoy our vist.

Beer very good. Unfortunately the food is miserable. Schäufele was tough, the bread with the bratwursts was old and the sauerkraut we ordered was served cold. Very unfortunate. This is a bad advertisement for Bamberg's gastronomy. Update: After four years, attempts are being made to influence the rating. Not an isolated case! There should be 0 stars for this.

Very cool brewery. Prices are affordable 3.90€. There are 4 types of beer to choose from. Everyone tried the varieties. We were very pleased. I really liked the smoked beer, I tried it for the first time. But I was very impressed, I was delighted and you wouldn’t have a new taste. The work of the waiters was very impressive as they served quickly and didn’t even have to wait. And I really liked the fact that we initially asked to try the beer a little in order to understand whether we could order it or not, the waiter was happy to help us with this. Of course, I wanted to repeat this unusual taste of smoked beer once again. A lot of people want it. The brewery itself can accommodate 450-500 people. This is the oldest brewery in Bamberg. We will definitely go there again when we are in this city. I highly recommend you will definitely be satisfied with this place.

We were in the small beer garden. Very nice and good food. We were able to endure the sun and rain under an umbrella.

The brewery is split between a small alley with two areas of seating, including limited seating outside. The rauchbier was excellent, however, we found the other two beers we tried quite average (the lager and swarzbier).

Beer garden in the middle of Bamberg with good beer. Food is good and plentiful. Price OK

Food good, service nice and friendly, were in the beer garden right on the Regnitz. Everything to your complete satisfaction

Great beer, very good and informative brewery tour! Highly recommended.

One of the quieter places in town. And they actually offer the smoke beer alcohol free. The surprise is actually the hunter Schnitzel. The mushrooms sause is just the best.

Conditions were relatively relaxed, but the location was great and the food wasn't objectionable either

The beer was outstanding. Taste and quality 1A. The service in the form of the brash gentleman cannot be surpassed in terms of arrogance and arrogance. It's a real shame, the economy doesn't deserve that.

Unfortunately, despite reservations, no table.

Located directly on the Regnitz, an excellent place to end the day in the evening. Good friendly service, good food and good selection of drinks. Nice atmosphere and very reasonable prices. You only have to walk a few meters, but only a few.

Medium-high prices. Staff not very kind. Overall a good place

We sat in the beer garden, which attracted us because of its location by the river, and just wanted something to drink. But it wasn't any fun: the waiter is rude and even rude. Visibly everything is designed for non-recurring walk-in customers/tourists and profit. You should absolutely avoid it!
