Spezial-Keller in Bamberg

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.

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.

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

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

I had a fantastic visit to the special cellar! The views were simply breathtaking and the home-made beer was delicious – a real highlight. The main courses were also excellently prepared and exceeded my expectations. Everything was of the highest standard and contributed to an unforgettable experience. I can only warmly recommend this beer garden!

All I can say is that it was perfect. Waiter super nice and on the ball. The food came incredibly quickly and everything was super fresh and delicious. Gladly again

Best Schäufele ever and the beer anyway. Super nice service.

close to the city in the countryside with a wonderful view over Bamberg. Splendid!

Very quaint and very good food. Very nice outdoor area and very good views. Inside it's probably a typical beer restaurant with heavy, dark wooden furnishings. Great old pictures on the wall. Nevertheless, very lovingly and comfortably furnished. Children are also welcome here. Please note that bachelor parties are not allowed there. Staff very pleasant, we moved several times because it got colder outside when we sat. The service was absolutely competent and helpful when moving into the warm dining room. Even with larger numbers it is possible. Various types of beer, but also tea and wine are available.

One of the best Schäuferla I had so far and perfectly accompanied by their own smokey beer!

Unfortunately, it is very loud in the building because there are few sound-absorbing materials used. The food is ok, the currywurst tastes porky. In general the quality seems to be average. In terms of price, the whole thing is a little above what would be expected for the quality. The beer is a matter of taste, but good

A pork roast of this quality shouldn't cost more than an MC rib or kebab

Excellent atmosphere and beer with friendly service. Worth the visit as it's off the beaten track. Full of locals. Unfortunately it was dark and raining so we couldn't use the outside space.

High above Bamberg with a view over the old town. Service, food and especially the beer 👍👍👍

Great inn with a beautiful view of Bamberg and good beer.

The beer, food, atmosphere and service is top notch!! Thank you Spezial-Keller for an unforgettable night!! If you are in Bamberg, you MUST stop here! 👏🏻👏🏻

It's definitely worth a trip. Beer, food, prices, etc. totally OK.

Great place with a view of Bamberg. Very nice staff. We were here on vacation, so unfortunately we were only here once.

Schäuferle was very tasty. Very tender meat and well seasoned. We got a good spot from where you have a great view of the cathedral. Service is in a great mood. Atmosphere very relaxed, perfect for relaxing and enjoying :)

The food was okay, but not particularly great, the atmosphere is great and the place itself is worth a visit, maybe more for a beer ;)

Great historic inn with a great view of the city, located on one of Bamberg's seven hills. When the weather is nice, there is plenty of space outside in the beer garden, a large playground and digging area for (especially small) children. Very nice hospitality, fresh, good beer. We “only” tried the plucked (a type of Obazta) to eat, which was very tasty.

Very nice beer garden with a view over Bamberg, good beer. Only three points because self-service.

A place that I visited weekly when I was at school, sometimes during lunch breaks with the teachers!

After a beer tour at Schlenkerla, we went to the special cellar because our guide recommended the place to us. On the one hand, it is interesting to taste another smoked beer directly after the well-known Schlenkerla. And on the other hand, the special cellar has an incredibly beautiful view. Since we already had a reservation at another restaurant, we didn't eat anything, but "just" tasted the beers. The Esseb that was carried past us looked very good and smelled excellent. So, if you head up the hill, I can only warmly recommend stopping for a bike ride at the Spezial-Keller.

Cozy beer garden with good food and beautiful views of the city.

Great view, very good service and the food was absolutely delicious.

Beautiful cellar above the city.... With friendly service.... Food and beer top 👍💯

Always great here, the best view of Bamberg you could wish for while having a beer/eating!

Cozy beer garden with a great view of Bamberg. The “climb” is definitely worth it. Excellent food, particularly recommended: the Schäufele!!! Thanks to the very attentive and friendly service, an all-round successful stay. We would love to come back when we are in Bamberg.

Great🌞, great atmosphere, great audience 🫶

Prices too expensive, everything is a rip off. Only eat half a portion

It's absurd that you have to reserve a table in a beer cellar. Without it you won't get a place. I will never go there again

Very nice beer garden with a view of the cathedral and old town

A beautiful beer garden that is definitely worth a visit. Plenty of choice of food and the beer is not to be sniffed at either 😉

Somewhat far from the center, and in an elevated area, from there you can enjoy good views of the city and it has a very pleasant wooded area where the biergarten is set up. It seemed to me that most of the clientele were locals. Be careful, the kitchen closes soon!

Super friendly, fast and efficient service. Great beer! Absolutely clear recommendation!

A bit hidden, but once you find it, it's worth the visit. Good food and delicious beer, friendly staff.

I love it up here. You have a wonderful view of Bamberg. Reservations are almost recommended during peak times. We were lucky. Super delicious snack - the 3-cheese plate with fine pretzel and a measure of Russn.

Despite having enough free (really free) tables, we were sent away and treated very unkindly. Would give -stars if possible.

From the special cellar there are wonderful views of Bamberg and its cathedral

Food and beer were good. Service too. I'd love to come back.

Wonderful view and setting. Well worth the climb up.

Unfriendly service, we were there for an hour in the afternoon and were pressured to drink just because each person (5) only ordered one large drink. We were asked 4 times if we wanted anything else. Plus we had to pay after 10 minutes ;) On top of that, very unfriendly and irritated because we don't leave tips for such service?

Had just beer here, all of them was excellent pils as well as light smoked lager (helles), unfortunately only these two were draft ( vom vass), shaufelle looked very good, anyway. Nice view on the city, spoiled by play ground for kids.

Great beer garden with a fantastic view over Bamberg.

Fantastic atmosphere and beer, I guarantee we will meet again.

For me it is one of the best beer gardens I have visited. And I have already visited many.

Tourist feeding. Crazy expensive

Here too, super-friendly service and very tasty dishes. We had the half chicken and the roast pork and the Obazda as a starter. All highly recommended. In terms of beer, we found the wheat beer to be the best...

Beautiful setting with amazing views over the city of Bamberg

Food, drinks, service, view, trees everything 👍

Payment can only be made with EC - and not with credit card. Since I registered this too late, everyone else I brought with me was no longer allowed to pay with card/EC cards. This was acknowledged with a: “I won’t let myself be fooled anymore” from the service staff. 1. Suggestion, if I want to block paying with the credit card, I can certainly do this on the device. Alternatively, I offer it, there should also be guests from abroad. 2. Suggestion, a bit nicer tone, and if there are problems, discuss them directly with the customer on site and not play power games with companions. We were 20 people on July 13th. at 2:30 p.m. and were served by a woman. In this case, some people's tips were saved, I think that goes without saying.

One of the most beautiful beer gardens in Bamberg!

Most beautiful beer cellar in Bamberg. Very nice view towards the cathedral. We were here on Saturday evening. Despite the crowds, we were lucky to get a seat. The friendly service had everything under control.

A nice place for a beer with a wide view over Bamberg. It was definitely worth a long walk from the city center.

Waiter apparently has no idea how to serve tables. Sitting here forever and the guy wins Olympic gold by looking the other way. You only got something to drink if you called half the beer garden together to make yourself comfortable. If there were 8 people, we can definitely not recommend it. Food mediocre, Aperol ready mixed and everything else a little below average Keep distance.

Magic place a walk away from the tourist overrun town centre.

Great view of Bamberg. Very nice beer garden.

A must when you are in Bamberg... the view of the city from here is incomparable. The dark home-brewed beer is recommended 🍻 Food is available cold and warm and is also very tasty. Prices are normal and the service is very friendly and attentive 😊 Always happy…

This beer garden is by far one of the most beautiful in the city. The climb is worth it. The route via the Bamberg ferry is particularly beautiful. Love it.

For everyone new: If you are looking for a "beer cellar" - i.e. beer garden - with delicious cold and warm cuisine, a lovely little playground, the most beautiful view and of course, if you wish, special smoked beer, you will find it here!

Italian festival in the cellar attracted many people. The eating and drinking stations were inadequately staffed to handle these crowds. The stay involved long waiting times, unfortunately you can't speak of a comfortable get-together. The Italian music, the free ice cream for children and the good pizza slices were positive.

Nice beer garden with a view over Bamberg. Service friendly and attentive. Food and drinks are very good.

Nice place to stay. Funny service with great tips for you surroundings. The smoked beer was a real experience for me. Ham sandwich to drink.

Great beer garden with a wonderful view of Bamberg. Beer and food delicious. The service was quick and very friendly!

A beautiful beer garden with a great view. The food is very good, as is the service

Ate very tasty. Staff very friendly and helpful. Great ambience!

Great place for a nice rauch beer - food looked good too (traditional for the region)

Been there June 28, 2024: The location is very nice. But that was also the positive thing about our visit. The tables were dirty and were then roughly cleaned with a rag. We ordered 3 beers. One of them had no/hardly any carbonation - it had probably been sitting at the counter for a while. When we pointed this out to the waitress (it was his first day at work) he asked his boss. He came back with the answer that it couldn't be and there was nothing he could do about it. We then drank 2 of the 3 beers and left. This has nothing to do with customer orientation. We found the beer garden to be “mass processing” and no longer go there.

Simply unfriendly service, I can't put it into words... the beer tastes pretty good, but unfortunately the service is far from that. We wanted to set up a few folded-down chairs and a table for ourselves, but we were told that it was folded for a reason and that we should look for another table, unfortunately there was no sign on it... It wasn't that bad at all, we looked for a table nearby and ordered successfully, then we saw exactly the first mentioned (unreserved) table being folded down and made ready for another group, even though we were told that it wasn't being served would... catastrophe... after a few comments we were more or less "forced" to pay and left... you have to know...

We recommend. The cellar is quietly located above the city, with beautiful large trees providing shade. Friendly service, fast and reliable. Food and drinks top!

The view never gets old! Super beautiful view of Bamberg. The food is good, but the prices for the portion sizes are also rather expensive. The waitresses were exceptionally friendly. There is a pleasant atmosphere in the cellar.

The service (blonde, glasses, shorter than the other person, male, in the back outdoor area) was unfortunately unfriendly and not caring… they were forced to pay and are stunned by this stay. Please avoid this service!

Top food, top view, service more than friendly. What more do you want. A perfect place to spend a warm summer evening in a beer garden atmosphere.

If you are in Bamberg and the weather is right, a visit here is a must. The view is fantastic. Staff top. Really one of the most beautiful cellars (= beer garden). Definitely visit...

Unfortunately we were not greeted politely. We drank all of our away beer outside and wanted to hand the bottles in for disposal. We were aggressively sent off by a waiter for no reason. We suspect that bad things have already happened here. However, greeting your customers so aggressively is a no go. No recommendation from us!

Nice beer garden with a great view of Bamberg.

A little old, but still recommended. Very friendly service. The bratwurst served still needs to “grow up” (very small). Nice view of the city as the restaurant is on a hill. Easily accessible on foot, even if it is a bit uphill in parts.

Beautiful beer garden with a great view over Bamberg.

It is one of the top 1 beer cellars in Bamberg 👍 I think the value for money is quite good considering that you are in the middle of Bamberg

Nice view. Were there again and everything was great!

Good food and a pleasant atmosphere

In my opinion, one of the best and most beautiful cellars in Bamberg

The location is simply something special, the Schäuferle is absolutely recommended....

Cozy beer garden with delicious smoked beer... aSeidla!... Not so smoky in taste! Very nice service...Tobi!

Actually a nice cellar but unfortunately overcrowded. Service absolutely unfriendly...not recommended

The special cellar high above Bamberg right next to the observatory is an absolutely recommended beer garden and restaurant. The food is delicious, the beer is highly recommended and the view over Bamberg is fantastic. The staff is quick and friendly. A place to linger, relax and eat and drink well and inexpensively. There is even a small playground for smaller children. And if you're wondering: Yes, the "cellar" is on top of the mountain and is not a cellar. He probably got the name from the brewery cellar for his beer. And no, you don't have to go down, you have to go up quite steeply. But it's really worth it! We'd love to come back.

The view is beautiful, the service is very friendly and attentive. The food is good, but unfortunately nothing special in terms of price-performance ratio.

Didn't try any food. But a great beer garden and good beer, tasty. Fantastic view of Bamberg. It is worth it!

Were not served because of our appearance

Nice view, good beer and food. Good atmosphere among the staff.

Stefan, how can you be like that and deny us loving fellow human beings a beer? Cheeky

I really enjoy coming here. Always beautiful, Bamberg from above. Beer garden was great, unfortunately it rained, but then off to the bar. It's still really original here. I think the smoked beer is better than the local one because it doesn't smoke quite as heavily Come again !
