Spezial-Keller in Bamberg

A beautiful beer garden with a view of Bamberg. Fast and friendly service, good food... a great spot in Bamberg, a bit away from the bustling old town!

Very nice beer garden with delicious smoked beer, a great view over Bamberg and friendly and fast service.

Super nice waitress! Best wishes from the three on the farewell tour!

A beautifully situated beer garden with a fantastic view of Bamberg. The somewhat steep climb is definitely worth it.

The most beautiful beer garden in Bamberg. Top-notch views, beer, food, and service!

A little coolness above the hot city! Nice atmosphere and great food beer and service!

Hearty meals. The food was good, although our schnitzel was a bit too greasy. The view is simply wonderful! Franconian-friendly atmosphere.

After years I visited the ‘Spezi’ Keller again. After a steep climb you experience your first beer as a reward. Beautiful view over Bamberg. We were kindly served by a nice lady. Delicious bratwursts with sauerkraut eaten!

The food, drinks, and atmosphere were great. Beautiful views of the city, and the smoked beer is a must-try! The food was very good!

Highly recommended. Friendly staff, good food and beer at reasonable prices, and a great view in a cozy beer garden.

Great place with fantastic views over Bamberg. Delicious food and really friendly service. Always worth a visit!

The place is amazing... Beautiful, classic beer garden, wonderfully located, delicious beer, very friendly service... It was a lovely evening

What a disgrace, we were ripped off with the bill and only paid in D-Marks, meaning we couldn't pay - where does that happen?

One of the most beautiful cellars in Bamberg, plenty of shade, very good home-brewed beer

The view is very nice, but the waiters are unfortunately incompetent and unaware of the menu. Food is ordered, then explained that it won't be available until later. The second order is exactly the same. Absolutely amateurish for a beer garden of this size. Drinks are constantly forgotten and ordered twice. My 4-year-old's toy shop is more organized!

Classic German beer garden. Well worth a visit.

Visited several times during our stay in Bamberg. Excellent service every time, friendly staff, and the food was always plentiful and delicious. There are always options for children, too. Highly recommended! Keep up the good work.

Super nice beer garden with top food

One of the most beautiful places in Bamberg!!

Perfect. A really cool cellar with a fantastic view. Service 10/10. The shandy was also amazing. I didn't eat anything. But I can definitely recommend it.

Great place with good German cuisine and beer. In addition, the view of Bamberg is free. Even though I was really hungry, I barely ate the flagship Franconian dish from the photo :-) Professional and fast waiter service. I sincerely recommend!

Waitress wasn't very nice + they didn't have any fries?!

A very nice beer garden, an idyllic location, a great view over the city, delicious Schäuferla (a kind of sausage), a wonderfully smoky dark lager, and attentive, prompt service. For me, it was a perfect stay 🙂

A beautiful beer garden with a great view and friendly staff in Bamberg.

Great view over Bamberg. Good food and drinks.

Very good Franconian food. Great beer garden atmosphere with a fantastic view over Bamberg. The climb to the top is arduous, but totally worth it. Service was super friendly and very quick. I'll be back next time I visit Bamberg.

Great beer garden. Great beer. From here, you have a beautiful view of Bamberg. Of course, you have to earn it beforehand and walk quite a bit uphill. It's worth it, as there are several cellars up here. The food is also good here. They serve typical Bamberg dishes. The service is friendly and attentive. Bringing your dog is no problem.

Beautiful beer garden with a wonderful view of Bamberg

Good, rustic service. Reasonable prices. It fills up quickly, so reservations are recommended for larger groups, or you can wait a bit and sit at a nearby table.

Great view of Bamberg's old town. The food is excellent and the service is friendly. Making a reservation was a bit tricky; we couldn't get it over the phone. We went on a whim and lucked out with a nice spot.

20250531 Very popular beer garden Soon after opening at 2 p.m., everything is already full... Reserving a table is advisable 🤗 Service was excellent 😍 quick, attentive, and very friendly The food selection is hearty and delicious The "smoky" shandy is excellent 🍺🍺🍺 Nice view of the city's rooftops

A beautiful beer garden with a magnificent view of Bamberg. The food is typical of a beer garden, with excellent quality and reasonable prices. The owner is friendly and accommodating for larger groups. There's a covered area in case of bad weather.

The schnitzels were of varying crispiness, with the crispiest ones getting a 7 out of 10 and the less crispy ones getting a 6 out of 10. The potato salad earned an 8 out of 10. The side salad got a 6 out of 10, although the tomatoes were watery. The service was very friendly, but the manager was unfortunately rude on the phone.

Delicious food in a beautiful location.

The perfect beer garden with a variety of specialty beers. From here, you have a fantastic view of Bamberg's old town.

Our visit to Spezi was a huge disappointment. The waitress felt like they were only responsible for certain tables, so our table was simply overlooked or pushed aside. The first round came fairly quickly, but reordering wasn't really possible. The online daily menu wasn't up to date, so we had to make a new selection. The Jägerschnitzel with Spätzle was very dry, and even the fresh mushrooms didn't help. The schnitzel with potato salad was of poor snack quality, and the Leberkäse and other dishes were no different. However, sitting for 45 minutes with an empty glass and no one coming to the cashier is a real disgrace. There are many lovely beer gardens in Bamberg with good service and cuisine, but unfortunately, we didn't find that here. The price of beer, by the way, was €4.30.

Beautiful beer garden with a great view, tasty beer and good food.

A beautiful traditional beer garden in the cellar!

Pros: - Beautiful view - Good food Cons: - Very steep prices - Very small portions - Very limited parking - No self-service Don't arrive here hungry. The beautiful view can't make up for the steep prices and extremely small portions. There are very few parking spaces. Unfortunately, they have waiters, and you're not allowed to bring your own drinks or food, which is why it's not even a beer hall by definition. Give it a wide berth.

Great terrace to see the sunset enjoying good German food and the typical Bamberg smoked beer!

The food and the view was amazing but the waiter was awful, he was very rude and throughed the menu on the table…

We wanted to go out to dinner with 20 people and a reservation (no stag party). Upon arrival, the over-made-up, approximately 60-year-old waitress made three unprovoked, inappropriate remarks. She then came to the table with the trick question: "Who is the bride?" Because she would get a free drink. When a friend who happened to be getting married next year got in touch, we were very rudely thrown out. So, the Spezikeller discriminates against young people who go out to dinner with friends because someone in the group is getting married? I've never experienced anything so outrageous.

Nice location, but that was about it. The staff was very prejudiced and unfriendly towards groups of men. All in all, not recommended for male groups of more than five people.

Beautiful beer cellar, fantastic view, good selection of drinks and food, friendly staff. We also like to go there for a beer after work to round off the day pleasantly. Parking is sometimes difficult, though. Better to go together or even by bike, as the way home is usually downhill.

Beautiful ambiance, fast service, and truly excellent food. We had Schäuferla (a kind of pork shoulder). The meat was cooked to perfection, the sauce was truly excellent (no powder), and the sauerkraut was perfectly balanced. It was accompanied by a smoked beer.

Nice atmosphere and service. The food was delicious, but there was a bit of a lack of choice for vegetarians.

Great atmosphere but unfortunately extremely unfriendly staff. Unfortunately, beer is carelessly placed on the table and not distributed properly. Could be better...

Biased, unfriendly, not recommended

Beautiful bearings and great service

Delicious beer...delicious food...always happy to come back!

The location is really really nice. The cellar also makes a good impression otherwise. Unfortunately, everything was destroyed by the very unfriendly service staff.

Simply great in the basement. Great beer, honest food, fast professional and funny service, brilliant view of Bamberg's city skyline. At any time and with pleasure again.

Nice waiters. Enjoy your meal. Personally, I prefer the light beer 🍺.

Very tasty and a great view of Bamberg Cathedral.

Very unfriendly owner who unfortunately didn't want to give us a table despite there being many free seats. We were there as a group of 10 people to have a birthday dinner. Since we were wearing lederhosen, we were immediately labeled as a bachelor party and turned away without further conversation or explanation.

Very nice beer garden with a great view. There is plenty of seating, but reservations are advisable. You can walk up from the old town or drive. There is free parking on site. The service staff is very friendly and attentive. The food tasted very good and there was enough on the plate.

We were rejected in a really unfriendly manner because we were a larger group and were seen as a bachelorette party. Too bad!

Incredibly rude! We came on a rainy day and were bullied because we had tilted the seating area so we didn't get our bottoms wet. So we chose a different seating area and used an existing wipe to dry it. This was met with absolute incomprehension by the staff. That's why we preferred to change the economy and leave our money where it is valued.

Very friendly and fast service, Despite May 1st, the delicious food arrived after 15 minutes. Fantastic view of the old town.

Very difficult owner. Rude and aggressive toward larger groups of men. Not recommended!

Beautiful cellar with a view of Bamberg

A very nice beer garden. You should reserve in advance to be sure of a place, otherwise if you wait a bit you will find a way to find a place. Definitely recommended

Delicious, very friendly staff, reasonable prices, great weather, great view.

Great cellar with nice staff who are on their toes. Food and dishes are excellent. Prices are justified.

The most beautiful beer cellar in Bamberg!

Unfortunately the ox cheeks were already sold out but the roast lamb was also excellent. The savoy cabbage was particularly great. Great view and nice beer garden.

The name is deceptive...the special cellar is not located below, but above You first have to “climb” the mountain. But you have a great view of the area. You can sit in the sun with a delicious smoked beer and simply enjoy. We didn't eat here, but there is good Franconian cuisine

There is more. The best thing is the view. The beer 🍻 is nothing to sneeze at either. Then head down into town for dinner.

Open at Easter, despite Monday. ☀️🤗🐇 A great view. Super cozy. Not too tight. Nice card, fair prices. Dumpling with gravy is great. Service at the table. Card and cash payment possible. Very polite service. Children's playground available, shady. Completely successful. 😊👍

Today we were guests at the “Spezial Keller” in Bamberg and sat outside in the beer garden. We received a very friendly welcome and our every wish was met in the truest sense of the word. A wonderful evening with a magnificent view over the city, great food and service that is second to none. Thank you Tobi, you are our hero 😊

Beautiful view, nice beer garden

Very nice beer garden with a great view, but on Saturdays! Closed from 3 p.m.!!!!!

It's recommended in almost every travel guide or article about Bamberg, of course the view of the city is great, but that's almost it. Some of the staff were unfriendly and rude. Food and drinks were okay - all in all, you can definitely do it.

Great beer garden with a fantastic view of Bamberg. Service great (greetings go out to Matthes, the Cologne boy in exile in Franconia), food good, prices okay. Great playground for the little ones.

Nice beer garden with a sensational view over Bamberg. Good traditional food with decent portions. Very attentive and funny waiter. Very easy to reach on foot from the old town. But: be sure to reserve a table with a good view of the cathedral and Bamberg.

Two beers and a shandy were all three only 0.4l full - well below the 0.5 calibration mark. It didn't seem like an accident either, as all three lenses were affected. I just find it annoying when you feel like you're being intentionally screwed over. Otherwise everything was fine. Friendly and awesome view.

Beautiful beer garden with a wonderful view over Bamberg

Yes, the food in nature was great. I would love to come back 😍

Great service, great ambience, perfect and wonderful service, very good price/performance ratio, great evening with a large group. THANK YOU - again at any time!!!

Beautifully located with a great view of Bamberg. We were there in the afternoon and drank a beer and each ordered a pretzel. Beer and pretzels good. But the service… The owner had a lot of time for his granddaughter. But unfortunately there was no time to say thank you or please to the guests. The pretzels were slammed onto the table without words and without eye contact. Another guest asked if he could also sit outside. After the owner said yes, the guest said that everything was wet because of the rain. The answer from the host; Here's a rag. We waited in vain for a “goodbye” or “have a nice day”. But maybe it was also the lack of tips.

The climb was worth it for the view and the delicious food. The service was courteous.

Perfect service, great food, fantastically beautiful cellar.....can only be recommended!!!!

Laid back place with a beer garden and a great view. Can have a Rauchbier while checking out Bamberg below. Had Bratwürste with sauerkraut and went really well together :) Really pretty.

The most beautiful cellar in Bamberg.

Nice service and very tasty food. Freshly bought beer.

Very good food, nice service. Unfortunately the opening times are somewhat short.

Very tasty, beautifully located and everyone was super friendly.

Great service, everyone was really very nice! Like (almost) everywhere in Franconia, the food is very good. The location and atmosphere are like a living room. 10 out of 10!

Always happy to come back because everything is just right!

Excellent as always. Nice ambience, nice service and good beer.

Very nice atmosphere inside. Very good, home-style cooking. The lager beer is to die for.

Really iconic restaurant with very good food and also top-notch staff. I'd love to come back...

We had a Christmas party there with the company, it was so nice. Service staff very friendly and helpful, the food was delicious. You can enjoy something special in all seasons.

The cellar, the beer, the food and the Löhr family are simply unique and great.

A fine place, perfect for enjoying smoked beer and Schäuferla. Nice.

Very nice cellar, good food and plenty

Top location, top beer, friendly, authentic service

Bock beer tapping was a dream ;-)

Food and drinks excellent, very tasty. The waiter said that he did NOT want to share his tips with colleagues! Therefore tip 0.0 €! Walter Hussong Spain

Beautiful view over Bamberg, delicious food and tasty beer. A nice experience
