Schanzenbräu Schankwirtschaft in Nürnberg

Covered garden tables on gravel. Everything is a bit dated. Only outside in summer, no bar inside. After a trip to the justice grounds (exit at Bärenschanze), this is a real recommendation if you're not into hip foreign bistro bars (which are plentiful in the area). The chef puts a lot of effort into it. Two thick meatballs with mashed potatoes for €14.80 satisfied three people and left them feeling full. The ladies really liked the semolina flammerie (€6.40). Gutmann wheat beer, Fritz Cola. Typical neighborhood bar. We weren't dissatisfied, but it was still too "ordinary" for a huge review.

A great spot to enjoy a beer outside if you're a little further from the city center. And if you ever get hungry, the schäufele was divine!!!

A lovely, rustic inn with a beautiful beer garden! The beer is beyond reproach! Good, hearty food!

Beer garden-typical and Franconian food, various beers, fast service, well attended

Super delicious but I always have the feeling that you get a little forgotten here.

I was looking for a nearby beer garden with a friend. We ended up at Schanzenbräu because I really like the beer anyway. What can I say... I had a sour Zipfel (a kind of beer), which tasted almost as good as if it were made by my grandma. It reminded me of my grandpa, who loved them just as much as I did. The atmosphere was great! And the atmosphere was super nice and fast. I'll definitely be coming more often! It's a shame I didn't get there sooner. Update: I've become addicted and I go there almost every week for a Helles and three sour beers!

My Schäufele was so good I am still dreaming about it. The garden is cosy and sweet. Locals come there for beer and dinner. I like the neighbourhood too. I'll be back for sure.

We ordered 2 Schäufele. The pork was quite salty so we had to order Blaukraut to counteract the saltiness. As for the sauce, the atmosphere is good and suitable for a group of friends. If the table is full, try asking at a table with an empty chair if you can sit with them. The people here are nice and you might even make new friends.

Sat outside in their lovely beer garden on a sunny summer evening. We had the schnitzel and bratwurst and both were delicious. Service was friendly and fast

A ruggedly beautiful place in Gostenhof with excellent service and rustic food at reasonable prices. I keep coming back.

Beautiful beer garden with a pleasant atmosphere, friendly waitresses, and good food. But it's always busy, so I recommend making a reservation.

In any case, I can recommend the roast pork

Nice beer garden, friendly service, delicious local cuisine. We would visit again.

The food is very good, the beer is even better, the Schanze on tap is simply a dream... The beer garden is so-so... We had a great time.

We discovered this place on Google and took Paul's recommendation, who then proved to be a friendly waiter, open to conversation toward the end of the evening when the outdoor seating was winding down. We were recommended excellent local dishes, including the roast pork shoulder. The German beer was good. We were in great company and enjoyed the stories and tales. 100% recommended.

It was truly quaint there, the food was good, and the staff was very friendly despite the hustle and bustle. It was very busy there, and guests were turned away because the garden was full. You really have to make a reservation here.

It was a sunny day so we had to wait a bit. They had a nice terras and good food. We liked to spatzel mit käse and bradwurst. Nice atmosphere and reasonable pirce and generous portion.

The waiter was quite helpful about the culture and food of Bavaria. Best beers we had here. The cuisine is limited to traditional Bavarian food, so don‘t expect to be served anything else (no chicken dishes, no fries etc.).

A small, charming beer garden in the heart of Nuremberg. The daily menu changes regularly and features Franconian home-style cooking. The location is nice and well-frequented. However, the quality of the food is rather mediocre. We went there twice: the first time, it was really good, but the second time, it tasted more like processed food.

I was there with friends. Nice beer garden with an exciting atmosphere. A cross between a garden club and an alternative chill zone in a beer garden. The cheese board was mediocre. The Emmental cheese was crumbly, the Obazda cheese was too lumpy, the bread crust was barely there, and there weren't many pickles or salads. Not bad, but just average. The beer selection was good, but the wheat beer was a bit too warm on tap. The staff were mostly friendly, but one of the waitresses was a bit rude.

The five of us weren't allowed to sit at the back table, but a family with two small children were allowed to sit there without any problems. Afterwards, the waiter pointed out to us that we should smoke together and not all sit one behind the other because there are two children in the beer garden.

Good food, good service in an interesting restaurant. Highly recommended.

Stopped for a quick beer while passing through, and it was absolutely delicious! Little hidden corner - super nice, right in the middle of the city. If you want to eat here, you should definitely make a reservation.

A lovely backyard beer garden. A bit off the beaten track. It's best reached by taking the Bärenschanze subway station.

Great place to eat, drink and chill! Nice Summer Garden (haven't been inside). FOOD IS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS AND WON'T DRAIN YOUR WALLET! Non-alcoholic beer is great too! I highly recommend it

A beer garden with a pleasant atmosphere. Good beer at typical Nuremberg prices (a Helles beer costs €4.40, as of July 2025). The food was generous and tasty.

I can only agree with Yannic, the guy outside the bar was absolutely rude to his (seemingly new) employee. Yelling and yelling at him is a no-go! How would he feel if he were the new guy somewhere and was treated like that!?

The drinks are great. The service is very attentive; unfortunately, the roulade was very dry and the sauce was quite salty. My colleague liked everything, so all in all, it's a great place to eat and relax for a while. I think the food will be mostly good, too.

Incredibly, service is lived and loved here. The food is delicious and the portions are generous. In short: the place to be!

The food and the location are really good, but unfortunately, the hectic, dark-haired bar owner really spoiled our visit by constantly yelling at his waiter, loudly in front of the entire beer garden, that he was doing everything wrong. That's not how you treat people, and especially not in front of guests. His hectic fidgeting was also very annoying... The taste was still great, though. I'd go back if someone else was serving.

"I accidentally walked in – I'm staying here now." 🧸 – B. from Gostenhof I actually only left the Reichswald forest to rummage through trash cans. Instead, I find: A pub. With the smell of roasted malt, steam from dumplings, and dignity. I enter the shop, everyone looks briefly – but no one shouts. The waiter just nods, as if he's served someone like me before. I take a seat. On the bench. Like a human being. ⸻ 🍽️ The food: I order – or grumble convincingly enough that something is simply brought to me. First course: Schäuferla. Outside: Crust like tree bark in spring. Inside: Tender as the first rumble of dawn. Dumpling: so round and golden, I wanted to adopt it. Then I ate it. Sauce: could be sold as a dip. For the soul. ⸻ 🍺 The beer: Red beer. Unfiltered. Serious. It tastes like a sunset over Nuremberg Castle – when you weigh 300 kg and prefer to stay in the shade. I drink four. Nobody says anything. A guy with a mustache toasts me. I don't understand him, but we nod in unison. ⸻ Conclusion: I came as a forest animal with a hunger. I left as a regular with an expanded consciousness. I'm now officially a Bärenschanzenbürger. I'll take over the dishwasher next week. And maybe the evening menu too.

Cozy beer garden in Nuremberg. The seating is truly lovely in a comfortably furnished courtyard. Excellent food and delicious beer. Very good service.

The service from one of the middle-aged waitresses was very unpleasant: inappropriate looks and comments from the moment we sat down. We had booked for 10 people, but three more ended up arriving. When we mentioned this, we were told they would only add chairs, no tables. What was supposed to be a pleasant gathering was marred by such rude treatment. However, the food was good, and both the young waitress and the waiter were very friendly and professional.

Very tasty beer and nice people.

Rustic, cozy beer garden. The beer was delicious. For dinner, we had beef goulash with roast dumplings. It was delicious. The staff and service were very attentive and always friendly and welcoming. We had a lovely evening. 🍻👍🏽

A German restaurant that I visited because it was near my accommodation. There were a lot of outdoor tables, so I could drink beer outside. Even though there were a lot of people, everything was served within 10 minutes after ordering. The food was a bit salty for Koreans, so beer was a must. I didn't expect much from the schnitzel, but it was buttery and crispy, and really delicious!! It goes well with the potato salad that comes with it. I also had the basic Frankenwurst. The beef goulash was too salty for the price, so I don't recommend it! Draft beer was 4.5 euros, so I had helles and dark beer and it was delicious.

Always happy to come here! Quality and price go hand in hand. Highly recommended!

Beautiful restaurant with a cozy beer garden in the backyard under the trees. Very delicious food and craft beer. Away from the tourist crowds.

The food was very good, the shoulder of pork with dumplings was excellent. The meat was nice and tender, the crust was nice and crispy. The dumplings melted in your mouth, praise to the kitchen. The entire team was on first-name terms, which fits the ambiance very well. There were seven of us and we were very satisfied. The price was also very good for the quality of the food.

Cozy beer garden, great attentive staff

A regular haunt for over 10 years. Good beer, Franconian cuisine with a weekly blackboard menu, a small but very cozy beer garden, and a rustic interior. Until 5:00 PM, you can always find a seat inside for two people without a reservation.

A typical small beer garden in the backyard. Very friendly staff. You have to be lucky to get a seat.

Unfortunately, I've never experienced anything so disorganized and unfriendly. We waited 20 minutes to be served. The waiter put us off twice, and the third time, the waitress took pity on us, looked at our table, and noticed that the payment hadn't been made. Then she left without a word. We'll have to find another restaurant. Terrible service.

What a fantastic beer garden in Nuremberg! We were here on a Tuesday evening when the weather was beautiful. The beer garden was packed. We had a reservation, so we didn't have to wait for a table. Schanzenbräu has a great beer selection. We ate something, of course, and both the roast pork and the Nuremberg bratwurst were incredibly delicious. I highly recommend eating here! The service was super attentive and was regularly at the tables! Top-notch!

This is where a bit of expectation management comes in handy. If you want to experience a good, middle-class and authentic Franconian economy, this is the right place for you. The food was simple but absolutely delicious! The beer is of course good Nürnberger Schanzenbräu and also very good. Service is Franconian friendly and the atmosphere in the guest room is warm. You quickly get into conversation with others and can chat a bit informally.

The service is friendly, there is delicious Franconian food and the light beer is so good that you can drink it like water.

Undoubtedly rustic restaurant, with a rough character: I would compare the environment to an 80s tavern, with tables and chairs with very little furniture but overall they give a character as mentioned above... rough! The menu, well explained by the innkeeper, is listed on several clearly visible blackboards and includes a fixed offer and a weekly offer. The fixed dishes reflect the menus found in the area, with different offers on the weekly one and are presented like the restaurant, simple but with their own character and flavor that makes you feel at home. A main room and garden are available, the service is managed quickly and dynamically.

It was okay. We weren't really assigned a spot. I think the staff could act better with more coordination. The food was excellent. Respect for that. However, the staff was really uncoordinated and disorganized. E.g. Several waitresses were with us in a short time and asked us for drinks. A little more coordination would be good and complement the other qualities of the pub

A beautiful restaurant with a fantastic beer garden. The in-house beer is classic Franconian good and also diverse! Seasonal cuisine with a decent Franconian basic menu. Always vegetarian/vegan dishes on the menu. Particularly noteworthy for me is the Franconian “Grupfte” (Obazda)! Highly recommended in the middle of Nuremberg

Unfortunately, we were very disappointed... we spontaneously came over for dinner and asked at the entrance if there was room for two people, whereupon we were told rather abruptly that we should have a look ourselves, she didn't know. After we found a seat, a friendly waitress came and said she would come straight to us. The lady at the entrance came in the meantime and took our drinks, or at least we thought they were forgotten. After half an hour we finally got it, but we had to wait 1 hour and 15 minutes for the food. Schnitzel tasted really good but the roulade was super tiny. Unfortunately, no waiter came for a while and the ketchup that was ordered with the schnitzel was also forgotten to bring. Really a shame...

Rustic beer garden with good food

I was spontaneously at the Schanzenbräu on April 12, 2025 around 4:30 p.m., the warmest day of the year so far. Unfortunately, they missed setting up enough tables in the beer garden or did they have an official requirement that there had to be fewer? Then I just wanted to enjoy a beer in the mug and stand on the edge. It was crazy, you were allowed to drink a beer in a bottle, but the landlord didn't want to provide beer mugs to guests without a seat, according to the staff at the bar in the restaurant. Okay then drink the delicious, unfiltered, naturally cloudy top beer yourself from the bottle, I'll be back when you get it together.

It was my first time in the ski jump and it was great. Food and beer, delicious 🤤🍻 Service, top💪🏻👍🏻 Ambiance, just perfect..simply good😎🤟🏻 Always happy🤩🫂👏🏻

The food was excellent. There was spaetzle and apple juice from a glass bottle and afterwards Kaiserschmarn, which is highly recommended. The service is always trying hard.

Delicious food and good service , nice atmosphere with tables in the tent👍👍

The Schanzenbräu is very traffic-oriented in a residential area. It's good and easy to get to. The food was very tasty and was freshly prepared. It was seasoned properly and I had no complaints. The staff is very nice and quite quick with orders. The atmosphere is “quaint”. If you like glamor and luxury, you're probably in the wrong place. But in my opinion the price-performance ratio is suitable, even very good. Unfortunately, parking spaces are very difficult to find. The restaurant does not have its own parking spaces. I had to search for about 15 minutes until I found a parking space. But it didn't have a negative impact on my overall impression. When I'm back in Nuremberg, I'll come here again. I can definitely recommend it to everyone.

Best beer in town (I say as a Bamberger 😉). The taste and presentation of the food is top notch. My favorite address in Nuremberg. Keep it up 🍻👍

Great atmosphere, I think the food is very good and the beer is also tasty. When there is a lot going on, the service sometimes seems overwhelmed, but without becoming mushy.

Yes, absolutely Beer first class Food very good And everything else too

The schäufele here was 10/10. One of the best I’ve had and also one of the cheapest.

We felt at home from the very first second, despite the lack of space; the food was excellent and the service was friendly. You rarely see something like that! Greetings from South Tyrol

The beer is very good, all the dishes tasted good, were down-to-earth and plentiful. The restaurant was packed on a Wednesday evening, but the service was still very attentive. Although it wasn't really beer garden weather yet, we sat there briefly due to the lack of indoor space, which is definitely a highlight in the summer.

The perfect place to have a traditional food with great rustic atmosphere. I really enjoyed it. Prices are great for the amount of food you're receiving.

Such a brilliant place to eat or drink 👍

Nice and really atmosphere place. Big portions of food and tasty.

We had a starter and the Cordon Bleu twice. The cooking here is down-to-earth, it was super tasty and we didn't have to wait long. The ambience is cozy, the service is friendly and the atmosphere is inviting. We can highly recommend the business and will definitely come back :)

A little crowded at lunchtime. Which again speaks for this restaurant

Great German cuisine and a beautiful backyard beer garden

Delicious local food, delicious Schanzenbräu beer... A second living room...

You can never go wrong with Schanzenbräu. Whether in the business or beer garden. Classic and simply always, always excellent. The fact that the place is always full speaks for itself. Top. Always. Everything.

The best Schäuffele in the world in a unique setting! Very tasty beer.

Must be happy. Must be satisfied. Just go to Aung

One of my favorite restaurants for years (the food is too good to call it a pub). Nice beer garden in summer, top beer and always very friendly staff. The audience is typically Goho, finally normal people. The best cheese pätzle in Franconia.

Really delicious food in a cool town with a rustic feel.(Visited March 18, 2023)

Quaint pub, if you like it, this is the place for you.

Great pub, delicious beer, good food!

Simple and excellent food! Beer comes from our own brewery and the employees are honest, friendly and always do their best! For me one of the most beautiful and truly authentic places in Nuremberg.

One of the few remaining rustic pubs in Nuremberg. The dining room is wooden and old, the menu is typically Franconian and the beer is simply delicious. The roast brawn is highly recommended. It's best to make a reservation during the week, as it can be difficult to get a spot spontaneously.

Top, always happy, great traditional Franconian restaurant

Great food, everything else was just right. If I'm in Nuremberg, I'll come back! Greetings from Vienna

A Franconian restaurant with top service!! We have been here several times to eat and drink!! We would be happy to come back despite the initial difficulties in service. Our problems were quickly solved!! We always feel at home and just like the Franconian culture!!

A real classic! Rustic pub, very sociable and relaxed atmosphere, great beer and a good selection of hearty Franconian cuisine. Always a pleasure!

Simple and the food is always very good, perfect

Beer great. Food prices are outrageous. Schnitzel 14.80 euros Salad extra 4.20 Just a rip off. Roast pork 13.90 Coleslaw again 4.20 Food and service top but price performance is just right not.

A bit of a quaint old place, but the food is all delicious, I was there with eight people and had different dishes 👍🏼

I really like being here, great atmosphere, delicious food and delicious beers.

Quaint pub, very rustic and cozy, good food, great staff, very good own beer, a place for a successful evening

A nice and tasty time. Very nice service

The prices are unbeatable, especially given the very good food. You can taste that it is homemade. The staff is also very nice and attentive.

Super quaint pub. We went for a beer and felt very comfortable.

Good schnitzel, nice beer options.

The Schanzenbräu Schankwirtschaft is a really rustic restaurant. Just like you imagine a bar, with a small counter at the front, everything inside is rustic and made of wood. Very normal people serve and there is nothing aloof here. Much older audience. The people who work here want to offer good service with delicious food and drink. Neither more nor less. The red beer was delicious and the city sausage with music was tasty. You can come in here, it's a good shop!

Old, rustic restaurant with friendly, quick service. Went here for a stopover and tasted the draft beer. Food portions look good and plentiful. Price-performance absolutely reasonable. Simply quaint

Rustic French delicious in Gostenhof. Tip.

The food and beer tasted good. Unfortunately, our waitress was very unfriendly and even had tantrums towards the end of the evening, throwing glasses around and insulting his colleagues. Too bad!

This time, there were two of us, the food wasn't good (November 1st). Unfortunately.

Great local place, good food, nice beer. Recommend. P.s. try the goulash with fried potato ball, its awesome :)

Great beer. Especially the red beer. Food is fine too! Schanzenbräu is cult in Nuremberg! Almost nothing works without a reservation, at least in the evenings.

Very tasty beer and nice service

There is nowhere better when it comes to beer, food and atmosphere
