Riegele Biergarten in Augsburg

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.

It's what you imagine when you hear the word "biergarten." An open-air place where you can enjoy a good beer and typical German food, with benches and tables shaded by leafy, enormous trees. It has a playground where children can enjoy themselves and even a zip line. One of the best biergartens I've ever visited.

Well, the ambiance is unbeatable, which can't be said for the food. We had fried chicken salad twice, and just serving it with the canned potato salad was a "treat." The fried chicken was puny, and the salad was even bigger. The whole thing cost €14.90. If I had ordered the whole thing in Austria, it would have been a feast for the palate. The meatballs with the same salad cost €10.90... Imagine if good Riegele beer tasted like that? The Bavarian cream made up for a few points. Thanks to the "good" food, our wedding day was a complete success.

The beer, service, and atmosphere were okay. The roast pork wasn't okay. The quality and preparation... we gave up after a few bites.

Ancient brewery founded in 1386 with a beautiful garden where you can drink beer and eat typical dishes. Fair prices

The beer garden is beautiful and very inviting, but unfortunately there's no service—it's self-service. The food was absolutely terrible for me and my family and was way overpriced, so we'll go there once and never again. Not worth a visit!

A cozy beer garden in a nice, shady spot. Theoretically, you could live here! The drinks were all okay. We had a beer, a shandy, a rusk, sparkling water, and a chabeso. The fries, however, were a disgrace; they were soggy on my plate. There was no sign of quality. The Obazte (traditional German sausage) was okay. The regular-sized pretzel was a whopping €1.20. Nice ambiance, but the quality could definitely be improved. The service was friendly, but also somewhat sleepy.

The location is very nice and cozy. It's really nice under the trees in the beer garden. The service was good. The man who gave us the fries was super nice. The food was below average, the fries were nothing special.

A lovely beer garden in a good location, great Riegele beer, but the food is a disaster.

A beer garden as you imagine it!👍🤗🍻

Average food. Self-service. Beautiful old trees.

A definite recommendation Beautiful beer garden under a huge tree... Wonderful

Very good food. (The selection could be bigger.) Great beer selection from the local brewery. Quality service. Great beer garden. Outdoor terrace with shade, next to the tracks, close to the main train station. View of the passing trains.

We were there this Saturday evening with a group of 7 from Ulm and thought it was great. The food is good and the beer tastes great. I particularly recommend the large currywurst with fries. The prices aren't excessive because of the self-service and, above all, the beautiful tree puts you in a good mood. You sit in the shade and feel at home. It really is a very nice beer garden. The grounds are clean and the whole atmosphere is just right. It's really great what the people of Augsburg have there! They should advertise more. As a foreigner you don't know that.

Hello, I received absolutely terrible service in your beer garden. The gentleman was wearing a cap with a size 44 on it. I understand that the beer garden is very busy, but I still expect a minimum level of standards when selling expensive fast food. I wanted to buy a single meatball. This was refused because the cashier apparently couldn't bill them individually. When I asked what side dish I should order, I was told I didn't have to. What I disliked most was the employee's rude response. Rude and arrogant. The currywurst was cold inside. The fries were well-stored and warm. Of course, I won't be coming back.

Beautiful beer garden near the train station with old trees and friendly staff.

A typical beer garden in the heart of Augsburg. I always enjoy coming here. Beautiful trees. Really cozy. The staff is also very friendly. Update: It's definitely worth coming back. Regular opening hours again, and when the weather is nice, there's always a full selection of good beer garden food. For me, it's still one of the most beautiful beer gardens in Augsburg.

Beautiful beer garden, good food, always happy to be there.

Nice place to chill, even for children there are enough opportunities to get tired

Disastrous kitchen! They don't even know how to make fries properly...

Good beers, but it's better to keep quiet about the quality of the food...

Perfect garden for a beer and snacks!

Very nice beer garden with very good beer.

We were here for the football match against Augsburg, before and after the game :) ...the light and dark beer are delicious and easy to drink, the roast pork, the sauce, delicious ...great ambience with self-service was great / great location

We had a very good meal; the food was delicious, featuring authentic local dishes. The service was friendly.

A variety of beers, delicious food🤩

Sehr schöner Biergarten, allerdings preislich zwischenzeitlich überzogen. 1 Weißbier in der Selstbedienung € 5,--!!!!! ...wir sind hier in Augsburg und nicht am Münchner Stachus

Yes, good snacks and long, good currywurst

Non si può andare ad Augusta e non possare alla Riegele, una delle migliori birre della Baviera (lo testimoniano i numerosi premi che riceve). Ci sono stato a cena con la mia famiglia e ci siamo trovati molto bene. Se si opta per il Biergarten si deve tenere conto del fatto che è tutto self service e la scelta delle pietanze è limitata. Se si vuole usufruire del servizio bisogna allora andare alla Wirsthaus che c'è all'interno del birrificio. Piatti tipici delle birrerie con porzioni generose e prezzi nella media. Sconsigliato a chi si aspetta un ristorante gourmet, non è nella filosofia del locale.

I was in Augsburg during the European Championships in 2024 and visited the beer garden at Riegele – a real experience! The food was great, especially for a beer garden, but of course the beer was the real highlight! It just fits the whole atmosphere perfectly, especially during an exciting football game. The huge screens and the great atmosphere enhanced the whole thing even more. The service was quick and friendly and you could just sit back and enjoy the evening. If you love beer, good food and football, you should definitely stop here.

A great beer garden. Super big. Nice and shady. How you imagine a beer garden... Only the food is slowly decreasing.... Good drinks and you can bring your own food. Cheers and have a great stay 🍻

Just like every beer garden should be. With self-service. Of course there are full stars for the service. 3 stars for the pretzel. The ambience is shown in photos.

This review is for the Wirtshaus, the restaurant. I am once or twice at this place for the last couple of years when visiting in Augsburg and In the past the place was good. This time was the worst experience I had in any restaurant. They changed the menu, I guess a new chef or owner was hired. The food is just awful, small portions and not German. I had a main dish which looked like a typical starter (salmon) and then the Maultaschen. Just not good and you really have to try hard to screw this up. I mentioned this to the manager and she brushed me off, new and younger guests….. and so on. The service was slow, unfriendly and the overall experience was just bad. That is it.

Great beer, great food, great atmosphere!!! 10/10

Very nice beer garden and of course the beer is excellent, but unfortunately the food is a big disappointment. System catering at a low level. A friend described it as “swimming pool food.” Unfortunately I can only agree with that.

Nice beer garden in the middle of the city. Very child friendly. Choice of dishes also vegetarian.

Cozy and relaxed beer garden with beautiful old trees. As expected, very good beer! Food rather mixed. Unfortunately, the gravy for meat dishes, dumplings, etc. tastes like a cheap finished product. Obazdn and sausage salad are already prepared in large quantities in the display case, so they will soon look unsightly and old. You have to look for the fresher ones. Shame about the food! Fries and pretzels were good. Staff very friendly.

Typical beer garden with self-service and Bavarian. Delicacies (hock & roast pork). If you really want to, you can also get a schnitzel or sausage salad.

Classic beer garden under tall trees. Pleasant atmosphere.

We went to the beautiful beer garden every evening for a nightcap. I can't say anything about the food as we only agreed to the beer. Which is good. Self-service is OK.

Nice beer garden, but cheap ready-made food. If you order a Radler, I would expect Riegele to make it with Chabeso. Instead, it's the discount soda in a plastic bottle. Very unfortunate... Staff is friendly and helpful

Delicious food, good cyclists, service=self-service ;)

Nice beer garden, but terrible food: Radi and Obatzter were inedible because they were old and stale - unfortunately there was only bottled beer because the tap system was broken. There was only warm “food” from the Hendel car, which is also what I get in front of the supermarket. Thanks NO

Simply great location and delicious

Actually a nice beer garden, but somehow I have the feeling that the ravages of time are eating away at the interior. BEST service in a long time. Boys and girls you are great. Food selection manageable. Unfortunately cold crusty roast. Cellar beer tasty. Prices good to very good. Mass 8.60 euros, wine 4.50 euros. Service was really super nice and friendly.

The kitchen only offers cold dishes during the week. I don't even want to speculate how long the sausage salad has been on display, with the kitchen windows dark in the background. Hot food was only available from a chicken cart. This offered classics such as half a chicken or pork knuckle, but without sauce - a dry affair. However, upon request and for an additional charge, with French fries or a non-homemade potato salad from a plastic bucket. Beer is only available self-service in the beer garden, but at restaurant prices. For a half Riegele Commerzienrat, which I had to pour myself from the bottle in the self-service area, I had to pay €4.30. The fact that Commerzienrat, Riegele's best beer, comes out of the bottle in the brewery's garden is an outrage. After successfully pouring the drink, the so-called "service person" immediately complained to the guests that they should just take the empty bottle through the checkout to return the dishes. The only positive thing was the constant possibility of paying for everything by card. A few years ago, the Riegele Beer Garden was one of the most well-respected beer gardens in the city. Unfortunately, it has deteriorated badly. The furnishings such as tables, ambience or the sanitary area have not been renovated for a long time. I probably won't be visiting this beer garden again anytime soon, especially not with guests from out of town. Transparency note: According to the receipt, the company "BS Bier und Küchen" operates in the Riegele beer garden - it is probably leased to them. But that doesn't make it any better and it's definitely not a flagship for the Riegele brewery.

Cozy beer garden, good half and full liters and a relaxed atmosphere. Great for chilling out.

The beer garden is simply great: tall, powerful trees with lots of shade. For the rest you have to be capable of suffering. On Wednesday evening there was no warm food (we were referred to the roast chicken car), only Obazda and coleslaw were left of the cold food, and the pretzels were also out. Only one cash register was occupied; there was a crowd there.

Quite a nice atmosphere, but the sandpit is very small. The food wasn't good at all, especially the vegetarian dishes.

Unfortunately, onion roast was well done instead of mediu, which was the same with my colleagues. Otherwise great atmosphere and very nice

Perfect beer garden, friendly staff, good food. Hard beer benches🤣

Self-service is okay. It's a shame that the glass is mandatory... Various glasses with 0.5 l that you can pour yourself. Beer glasses and other... A beer glass would have been better for carrying, but because there was no beer, I had to use another glass!

Great beer garden in the middle of Augsburg. The beer is simply hearty and the food is tasty. An absolute must when you are in Augsburg

Lovely atmosphere, good food and lots of good beer.

Central location at the train station. Great beer and good food.

Actually a very nice beer menu. What's not possible is that there's a rooster in the basket (rooster cart) inside and the only hot dishes are... Shame on you. And that at the best time of summer.

Went to the beer garden today hoping that the overpriced Hendelwagen wasn't there. Unfortunately a mistake. Shameful for Riegele not to offer reasonably tasty food here.

Delicious beer, chicken. Dogs allowed. Great playground

It's a shame, at 7:40 p.m. there's no more food, just currywurst and schnitzel with dumplings. There are only bees and flies everywhere, you can't sit. This is all on Sunday in August, when everyone is off and there is nothing to eat. Then you don't need to try anymore. Never again.

Super nice service… oh yes, the beer tastes very good too 👍 Plenty of seating and physical well-being is also provided.

good prices, fast service, lots of play options for children.

Nice beer garden in the middle of the city. Good beer, shady places. Unfortunately there is hardly any food on offer (the chicken cart is not my thing, sorry), but you can bring your own snack.

Wonderful place with delicious food and service

Nice location, actually, if it weren't for the completely run-down house in the beer garden. Not exactly appetizing. Oh yes, there was no food in the beer garden, but there was a chicken roast cart with old giant pretzels. Surely that should be shameful for Riegele? We don't go there anymore

Unfortunately, the food is absolutely not good… only ready-made meals, e.g. packaged potato salad, so nothing fresh… But you can sit very nicely in the shade under the trees…

Huge beer garden with “children’s playground” With crazy prices for tiny sausage salad. There's cake too, but we didn't even look at it, we were shocked enough. Optionally you can also get grilled chicken or knuckle from the chicken cart. Prices almost like at Oktoberfest. The other thing that applies here is that you can eat the food you brought with you on site, which is the only plus point

Nice atmosphere. Great games for kids. And, of course, excellent beers!

Good food, good beer, friendly staff Thank you

Self-service. Grilled specialties very tasty. Bar beer anyway.

Let's keep it short. Quite a nice beer garden. We didn't like Russ (white beer lemonade). Chicken schnitzel (small and supermarket level) with potato salad from the bucket (at least that's how it tasted) wasn't a hit and the crusty roast (really a lot of fat) was fine. The potato dumplings were the rubber bullets you usually get. To save your honor, you have to say that at least it wasn't overpriced. Just test it yourself. When the weather is nice you can relax in the beer garden.

A wonderful beer garden in the middle of the city, to escape the summer heat, there's hardly anything better, plus good beer and hearty food, what more could you want

Oasis in the city. You wouldn't think of being in the middle of Augsburg. Even in the heat, a cool place under shady, old trees. Self-service, typical beer garden food, a real Bavarian beer garden, just. With a bit of luck you can park directly in your own parking space/underground car park. (approx. €1.50/h)

It always tastes good there and, above all, there is the original Spezi.

The garden is really nice. But for the (self) service to suddenly be stopped shortly before 9 p.m. on a Tuesday is simply impossible. And without any announcement at all. Only the restaurant next door remains. Full and unbearably LOUD.

Actually a very nice beer garden but when the beer runs out it doesn't reflect good service when the brewery is right next to it... Service rather bored and unfriendly makes a very demotivating impression. There was only little food like sausage salad but no side dishes. The external chicken cart (there was still chicken & ribs + potato salad) ruins the ambience.

Not for me.......but it is a beautifully landscaped beer garden. Self-service is no problem either. Only the selection of food and the quality is not that good. The beer tastes very good. You could do more here, which is probably due to the lack of staff. Very unfortunate...

Great beer garden, very cozy and uncomplicated, I would love to come here again!

Fantastically beautiful setting in the beer garden of the Riegele brewery. Beer tastes good. Food inadequate. On Tuesday evening, today July 31, 2024, get either sausage salad or a mini ball of Obazda (micro kitchen? Go to the Hirschgarten in Munich - 4 times as big there) from the self-service counter. Alternatively, buy chicken, knuckles and spareribs in a basket (in the beer garden!) from the Hahn company's sales cart. What's going on here? Lots of room for improvement! If you look at the good Riegele Brewery restaurant next door, the beer garden is probably the company's stepchild. We have been going to this lovely beer garden for years but will go elsewhere in the future. A pity.

Self-service is ok in the beer garden. I would like the parking options directly at the beer garden. There was only one grill truck with chicken that day. I didn't find it that special. Beer freshly tapped and cold. Gladly again.

Very good food, but always very crowded

Very nice beer garden with self-service. But the food is ready and on display. It would be better if it was freshly made. Food quality for the price is poor

Really great beer garden and the range of food and drinks is very appropriate.

Very nice beer garden. Quiet and shady.

Great beer garden. Great copper beech Gigantic tree. Menu very clear.

Visually the typical Bavarian beer garden. Tall trees, massive tables and beer mugs. The prices are currently correct. The unusually large playground for a city center beer garden is a highlight, especially for children. The proximity to the train station is also a plus. Typical Bavarian dishes that are not always available (chicken carts) complete the overall picture. As a father, it really annoyed me that I couldn't change my son's diaper in a toilet. This is reserved for mothers in the women's restroom only. Weak.. all in all currently my number 1 beer garden in the size category.

Unfortunately, less than 1 star is not possible. Today and as we were told - all week - otherwise Monday and Tuesday Hendlwagen. Absolute impudence - queuing for 45 minutes - half a chicken (the size is more like half a pigeon) €9 but a side dish of potato salad or coleslaw small portion in a cup or small fries €4.50 each. Sausage salad at 6:30 p.m. Obatzder 1 ice cream ball size, small salad bowl was later available at horrendous prices. In the beer garden there are dozens of tables occupied by self-caterers (but you can understand that). For me this was once one of the best beer gardens. The last time we tried, we were told at 6:30 p.m. that we were closed and that you could eat something over there. You're really at a loss for words. It's a shame I wanted to upload the plate of fries, that's really awesome for 4.50, but it's not possible.

Great concept, delicious food, delicious beer

Very nice beer garden near the train station

A pretty grubby beer garden... :-) Fast service at the counter, it's even faster with card payment! On hot summer days, ending the day with a fresh, cold beer in the shade of the old trees is simply fantastic - I'd love to come back!

Wiener Schnitzel €17.90, really TINY children's portion that won't fill you up. They are faking the pictures!! The food was not tasty and value for money is poor. Beers are okay. Service is great! Better go to Bobs or King of Flanders. Schnitzel is half cheaper and twice as big. Ichiban's best all you can eat sushi is also much, much better for a little extra charge. Don't go and forget the fake reviews.

Excellent organization of self-service. I love it. Instead of waiting forever for a stressed-out waitress. The food distribution was really very friendly and, above all, very hygienic. I attach great importance to this. Paying went very quickly. Validating the parking card is no problem. And the non-alcoholic wheat beer is an extraordinary specialty and the reason for visiting the beer garden. For €7.80 you get the richest brawn ever. I will repeat that. And because it was so good, I picked up a case of Riegele Weissbier 0.0% from a drinks store on the way home. A successful evening on June 29th, 2024

A great self-service beer garden. Typical Bavarian food, such as potato salad and schnitzel, giant pretzels and beer. There is a playground

Nice beer garden with public viewing for football. Have been there several times. But what's really annoying is that there was nothing to eat there at the football game on Tuesday. There was only an overpriced chicken cart. It was also closed at 9 p.m. Out of desperation, the guests went to the nearby fast food restaurants and got food there. You don't expect something like that from a beer garden. As I said, the beer garden was super full and there was nothing to eat. Was really disappointed.

The beer garden was far too full during the Germany game. Some people were not allowed in and were sent to the town hall square, where there was no football at all. The food wasn't particularly good either. It's a shame, I expected more. The screen was also much larger and brighter as I remember it from a few years ago. Not a good view, far too few seats.

Wir wollten einen netten Abend hier verbringen, wie schon so oft. Das Essen ist im Biergarten ist einfach nur noch schlecht. Ich hatte den schlimmsten Schweizer Wurstsalat aller Zeiten. Habe ihn zurückgegeben.

Very good atmosphere, games for children of all ages, delicious traditional food and good beer

Public viewing of the Germany vs Spain match, even though disappointing in the end, was great here. The atmosphere was amazing, the beer garden itself quite nice and the food and drinks not too expensive. Will definitely come back, next time a lot earlier though since all spaces were taken even 2 hours before the game.

Very iconic restaurant! We'd love to come back

There was little parking on site, there was chicken from the chicken truck. Large beer garden in nice shade. Was there at the public viewing. There are city bees in the garden.

Too many guests in too small a space
