Zum Siechenbräu in Weimar

A lovingly decorated and run culinary gem in Weimar. The food, drinks, and service were perfect. We'll definitely be back.

Unfortunately, the wait was very long; it took about 1.75 hours for the food to arrive. The food, as well as the cola beer, was very disappointing. Unfortunately, the roast had little resemblance to a roast; it was more like a schnitzel without any breading. The salad was very vinegary, and the rest of the food was covered in an extremely large amount of caraway seeds. Furthermore, the air quality was very poor, which didn't help with the long wait. Not worth a visit.

There were 8 of us at the restaurant. First of all, there was nothing wrong with the food; it was incredibly delicious. Compliments to the chef. However, one person is "allergic" to caraway, so he swapped the sauerkraut for red cabbage for an extra €1. Unfortunately, the fried potatoes also contained caraway, so the person sent the food back. This caused a roll of eyes. If someone swaps vegetables because of caraway, then it's obvious that they don't want caraway in their fried potatoes. Perhaps this could be noted on the menu. Just a tip... Unfortunately, the friendliness changed after that. The entire bill was thrown on our table without a word!!! No question about whether we were eating together or separately. The service was simply not good. You should also check how many people can actually fit at a table, as the tables were very narrow and more suitable for 6 than 8 people. We had a real hard time managing our legs and arms. The atmosphere was wonderful, the old inn beautifully decorated. The food was simply fantastic. Super delicious.

Super friendly service and a quaint pub atmosphere.

We were here on Saturday and were thrilled. Thanks to a reservation (recommended), we got a table right away. The welcome was warm, the wait was perfectly acceptable for the quality of the food, and both the staff and the chef had time for a chat! A big thank you to both of you for the table with the rose (a little insider tip)... The restaurant is definitely recommended – the food is excellent, the home-brewed Siechn Hell is a delight, and the ambiance invites you to linger! Thank you so much, keep up the good work, and get well soon for your foot!

We arrived without a reservation and were lucky to get a table. It's a positive to expect a wait. In fact, we didn't. The food was delicious: roulades with Thuringian dumplings, pork steak au four with homemade mashed potatoes, and goulash! Very attentive service! We'd be happy to come back on our next visit to Weimar.

We were visiting Weimar and luckily discovered this little restaurant. The food was delicious and the interior was very cozy :)

The decision to visit a "traditional" restaurant and sample the regional cuisine, and especially the corresponding beers, was quickly made. Siechenbräu was right at the top of our agenda. And, especially encouraged by the typical negative reviews, which rightly represent only a fraction of the total, we absolutely wanted to go there. The landlord's responses here seem authentic and honest, and they turned out to be true. We enjoyed our stay, got a table at short notice, and received attentive, courteous, and prompt service. The food is very good. You definitely get authentic cuisine with fresh ingredients, and no convenience foods on your plate. It's a shame that this has to be mentioned separately these days. The brewery schnitzel we ordered here was super fresh and prepared with a special filling. The accompanying fried potatoes were prepared almost perfectly and perfectly matched. We really enjoyed our stay there. Many thanks to the landlord and his team, and all the best!

Anyone who appreciates truly good, honest cuisine has come to the right place. There's no convenience food here, just freshly prepared dishes. Because word has apparently gotten around, it's important to reserve a table in advance. We felt very comfortable; the restaurant is cozy, and the beer is delicious. If you're a schnapps connoisseur, you should definitely try the beer brandy.

The waiter rudely turned us away with the comment "There wasn't a free seat and you could see what was going on and you knew how things were going and there was an order book up front for reservations which you could look at and on top of that the boss was sick" Very unfriendly.

It was delicious. Excellent service. Very, very good taste. Very generous portions. Reasonably priced. Delicious beer. Anyone in Weimar should eat there.

Only accepts cash, ungirendly waiter rolling eyes, only 1 menu for 2 people

"There's nothing there," was the waiter's response when we wanted to sit outside... which I initially referred to our dog, and then asked again what "there isn't." They didn't have any staff, was the answer, and we should simply leave, we felt. No hello, sorry, or any other polite remark... Nice way to treat guests, thank you very much for that. The atmosphere was actually quite nice, but I can't say anything about the food.

The best Thuringian cuisine I've ever had!!

Spectacular cuisine at unspectacular prices. Here you can finally eat like grandma used to make. Good, home-style cooking with cold, home-brewed beer. What more could you need?

Quaint and cozy. Very friendly host and excellent food. We found it perfect all around and fell into bed content.

Highly recommended, because you enter Weimar's great history. The nice host can tell you very well about it... The food tastes very good, is regional as are the drinks. However, it is advisable to make reservations for the weekend.

The food was delicious and the service was very friendly and familiar

Very cozy. We were warmly welcomed and immediately felt at home. Delicious beer and very tasty food. Portions are generous and the preparation is terrific. I've never had such a tender schnitzel. Try the Knobi schnapps, it's fun 😉

Absolutely recommended. Very tender good meat. Delicious beer. Nice service! Clean toilets. 👍🏼

Wonderfully quaint restaurant. The broad beans & garlic schnapps are just really good! Highly recommended.

Simply great! Food: very good Thuringian cuisine, you have to try the beer 👍 Service: friendly, quick, careful👍 Guest room: a feel-good experience because there is a lot of old original furnishings, But: either register or arrive on time... The restaurant is well attended and therefore often has a few tables reserved

Super-friendly service. Nice atmosphere. Delicious beer and food. All high-quality at truly affordable prices.

The food tastes very good. A visit here is absolutely recommended.

Wir waren am 20. Dezember zum Abendessen in "Zum Siechenbräu". Wir haben das Restaurant ausgewählt, da wir lokale thüringische Küche probieren wollten. Selbst aus Franken kommend, mögen wir gutbürgerliche Küche mit Fleisch und Fisch. Zunächst das Wichtigste: Das Essen ist sehr lecker! Wir hatten Zwiebelfleisch & Gulasch - wir kochen beide selbst gerne und viel, aber so gut bekommen wir besagte Gerichte nicht zustande. Auch der Preis (pro Gericht 20,80 Euro) ist gut, da man eine sehr große Portion bekommt. Die Gaststätte liegt 10 Minuten zu Fuß zum Herz der Innenstadt. Bei den Lokalen in der Stadtmitte sind die Preise deutlich höher und das Essen sah nicht so lecker aus wie hier. Der Service funktioniert sehr gut, wir haben keine 5 Minuten auf unsere Getränke gewartet und das Essen kam nach etwa 20-25 Minuten - zwischendurch hatte uns der Kellner sogar Bescheid gegeben, dass das Essen "gleich fertig ist". Positiv ist uns ebenfalls aufgefallen, dass er sich zwischendurch erkundigt hat, ob wir noch genug zu trinken haben oder einen anderen Wunsch. Und alles, obwohl das Restaurant gut besucht war, der letzte Freitag Abend vor Weihnachten eben. Zum Ambiente - es ist gutbürgerlich (passend zum Essen), bequeme & bodenständige Einrichtung. Was uns auch aufgefallen ist - bei unserem Besuch waren viele Gäste Stammgäste. Zusammengefasst: Wer leckere gutbürgerliche Küche zu einem guten Preis in einem ruhigen Ambiente ohne lange Wartezeit essen möchte - wir können "Zum Siechnbräu" wärmstens empfehlen. Gaststätten dieser Güte würden wir uns überall in Deutschland wünschen!

Friendly, fast, tasty, rustic, cozy.

Quaint old restaurant with delicious food and just as great beer 🍺... ate there for 2 days... it was delicious 👌🏻

A very cozy restaurant with perfect food, very good portion and great taste. Keep it up.

Thanks for the lovely evening. Food was great. Great beer! We would be happy to come back.

Nice atmosphere, delicious food and very friendly people. What more could you want!

Sehr gutes Essen und rustikales Ambiente. Aber die Rechnung sollte man sich beim Bezahlen genauer anschauen. Es gibt nettere Restaurants in Weimar.

Cozy restaurant with courteous service, very good home-style cuisine and the beer tastes great. We'd love to come by again. A stop is worth recommending. Thank you for the hospitality.

Cool guy, very relaxed. German food made with love for a reasonable price. Always happy.

Wonderful restaurant with good Thuringian cuisine. The food tastes amazing and there are also very good beers from a small Erfurt brewery. The employees are friendly, the atmosphere is rustic and cozy. We'll definitely come back. Thanks for the culinary experience.

Very cozy Likal with delicious home cooking. A perfect

Great food and great service! Perfect evening!

Great, great, great. Fantastic cuisine, really cooked. Good middle class with a modern touch. The icing on the cake after a long day in Weimar. A real insider tip. The friendly innkeeper also left us a few ice cubes for the champagne on the way when we said goodbye. Cool.

Delicious food especially the baked dumplings, class and very attentive service

Cozy restaurant with very tasty local beer and great food! Service very friendly and attentive. There is also a great selection for vegetarians. Absolute recommendation and the location is a bit away from the hustle and bustle, but easy to reach on foot from the center.

Super cozy room with delicious beer and good cuisine. I can highly recommend it!

We were there spontaneously without a reservation. We had excellent beer and excellent food. The staff was extremely friendly. Unfortunately we only had an hour and a half. We would be happy to come back with a reservation.

How nice ! A “typical” inn in the style of a tavern. Crunchy, solid, rustic and not playful. Clean and well-kept guest rooms and wet rooms and, above all, no standing around elements à la “Favorite Place” or “Free Beer Tomorrow” Thank you. House beer brewed in Erfurt served cool and quickly at reasonable prices! It's fun to be thirsty and it's also a good way to drain your wallet... just have a drink while you wait for food. After exactly the time it takes for fried potatoes (perhaps a little more bacon) comes the second member of the group - the chef himself serves. Child-friendly but not too intrusive, we were able to get a smile... and that made our way home to the hotel perfect after an impressive Weimar day. Full and healthy at fair prices, there is well-organized catering here with no hidden costs, concepts or conditions! Thank you and see you soon!

Best Thuringian food (and beer) I have had, it was extremely tasty. The waiter was exceptionally attentive. I fully recommend this place.

Roulade vom Feinsten! Aber auch die Grützwurst war lecker. Wer auf Self Crafted Biere steht, ist hier zusätzlich richtig.

Great food, prices reasonable, beer a matter of taste, beer brandy very good.

Super cozy restaurant with very, very tasty food! The fried dumplings are a recommendation! Holger is a very friendly host who fulfilled our little wishes with a smile :)

This is how delicious food should be. Casual atmosphere, very nice service. Food exceptionally good. Highly recommended.

Quaint restaurant with very friendly and fast service. The dinner was excellent. Our own Siechn-Bräu is recommended.

We hebben hier twee keer gegeten en beide keren kregen we een heerlijk streekgerechten. Goed, vers, bereid en heerlijk van smaak.

Everything is perfect in this restaurant. Great service, delicious food and a great atmosphere. Highly recommended

It was a relaxed and great evening with the best food and very tasty beer. An absolute gem away from the tourist crowds

Fine Thuringian cuisine with not too many dishes on the menu, home-brewed beer, away from the tourist crowds, nice little outdoor area. A real enrichment of Weimar gastronomy and a clear recommendation: go and enjoy!

Das Restaurant Zum Siechenbräu bietet eine beeindruckende Mischung aus innovativer Thüringer Hausmannskost und authentischen Brauspezialitäten. Besonders die drei Biersorten, die nach eigenem Rezept des Wirtes gebraut werden, sind ein Highlight – mein Favorit ist das Helle, aber es lohnt sich, alle drei zu probieren. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist hervorragend, und die freundliche sowie kompetente Bedienung durch den Chef rundet das Erlebnis perfekt ab. Ein Besuch, der sich definitiv lohnt!

We have eaten in this lovely restaurant several times. Always enjoy coming here. Everything is just right for me! Starting with the very nice waiter, his demeanor is courteous but not intrusive. The premises are clean as are the toilets, which is also important. You don't have to wait very long for the food. Everything on the menu corresponds to the price-performance ratio and tastes super delicious! Definitely 100% more recommended than good home cooking in Weimar!!!

We are still here- the service is great- wonderfully personal and friendly approach. This looks like one of these family-run places where people care about their customers’ experience. The food is out of this world! I highly recommend coming here and checking it for yourselves.

Uriges Wirtshaus mit Spezialitäten wie gebratener Kalbsleber, aber auch für Vegetariers zB Rösti mit TomatenMozarella überbacken, Hund bekam gleich ungefragt Wasser und super Hausbröu

Cozy atmosphere, very hospitable hospitality, excellent cuisine, home-brewed beer and much more... you are always welcome here. Thank you for the many wonderful hours with you. See you soon...kind regards.

Unfortunately it's no longer the quaint restaurant it once was. The food is carelessly prepared and completely tasteless. After polite inquiries and spices, the food was “re-prepared”. Since you obviously can't handle criticism, it was completely over-salted!!!! It doesn't work at all and is absolutely not recommended!!! Unfortunately you have to give one star

As always, the food tasted very good, freshly prepared, well seasoned and pleasantly salted. Since I have been going to this restaurant for years and have never had anything to complain about, I cannot understand other people who have to display their negatively misplaced comments. I'm already looking forward to the next culinary meeting at Siechenbräu, with the courteous staff.

Uitstekend! Rustig gelegen, gezellig ingericht; zeer correcte ontvangst, vlotte en zeer vriendelijke bediening. Typische Thüringer gerechten, zeer goede prijs-kwaliteit. Een aanrader!

I think it's okay, but the dumpling slices with applesauce tasted too salty. The service was rude

Very tasty food and definitely recommended, but it's a shame you can't pay by card. In 2024 it will certainly be a downside.

You've been able to spend a nice, cozy evening with friends here for years, Holger keep it up👍😋

What everyone else said. The place is atmospheric (ate outside on a balmy summer evening as a very cheeky water fountain played in the square), the food is excellent if a little on the salty side (Mutzbraten 🫠) and the house beer (I had the darker one 💯🉐) is tasty and refreshing. The service is perfect: no fake friendliness but a genuine and efficient welcome and good advice on food and drink. I didn’t have dessert but the house Bierschnaps was divine!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Incredible, I would like to say “old school” but much better. Quaint, nice that something like this still exists. Food, vegetarian, exceptionally good, rösti and kohlrabi schnitzel, perfect.

What better praise is there than when you drink everything empty? The landlord is super nice, the food is incomparable and the beer is amazing. Goethe and Schiller are nice, but have you ever had a beer here?

Everything was great, traditional German cuisine and top service. However, you can only pay in cash, which I found a bit weak overall.

Good traditional dishes and authentic setting

Most restaurants in this part of Germany that serve local dishes use too much salt in them. Not this place. Here they serve great tasting dishes and, not the smallest accomplishment, they have the best hefe weizen beer i’ve ever tasted: Siechn Weimarer. Go there, try it and you will be convinced. To make it even easier. This place is just one block away from the massive parking of the Weimar Atrium.

Super nice service. Food great and very lovingly prepared. We are happy to recommend it. 👍👍👍

It was a very beautiful evening. The food was delicious, the beer was excellent and the service was very accommodating. Thank you very much! 5/5 stars. The only suggestion for improvement: accepting card payments would be great :)

Rustic, cozy restaurant with great beer, friendly service and good food.

Rustic, authentic and the food is a dream! You have to try it!

Good food, fast service. Not 5 stars because the food was too spicy for us.

Heerlijk gegeten. Echte Duitse keuken aangevuld met smaakvolle kruiden. Lekker bier op de wisseltap Jammer genoeg konden we niet binnen zitten. Alleen cash!

Freshly and carefully prepared.

Excellent food, own beers, lovely atmosphere, nice people around! I tried Weimarer Zwiebelfleisch and all sorts of own brewed beer. Meet itself was a bit too much salted, but still perfectly cooked. Salad and Klöse - all perfect 👍🏼 great place

Incredibly delicious and authentic home-style cuisine at a fair price. The menu is nice and clear, but has something suitable for every guest. Vegetarian cuisine is also not neglected here. An absolute recommendation for every visit to Weimar!

A traditional restaurant with classic Central German cuisine. The food is very good and freshly prepared. Everyone will find what they are looking for on the small but well-selected menu, vegetarians are also catered for. For beer lovers, there is a regional specialty that can only be purchased in this restaurant and is brewed personally by the landlord.

Very good restaurant good prices and large portions.

Very nice evening with excellent food

To recommend. A cozy inn with very good food and beer. Very nice service.

A very original and rustic guest house, we felt very comfortable. Here the boss serves himself and we chatted a bit and got a lot of information about brewing beer. Of course we also drank the delicious Siechenbräu and it really tasted very good. Pork jellied meat from the “trusted butcher” was also really good! The food we ordered came quite quickly, it was very good and very nicely prepared. The home-made beer brandy was also a success. Thank you for the lovely evening, we are happy to recommend this inn.

I chose Siechenbräu for our stopover in Weimar on our trip - certainly because of the beer, but primarily because both the children and my wife and I would find something suitable to eat here. We were still (very positively) surprised! The atmosphere, the beer, the food - everything was great. Really highly recommended, even if you're not a beer lover. We will definitely go here again when we come to Weimar.

The food and beer were first rate but what stands out is the service extended to two weary foreigners. I believe it was the owner or manager who took care of us. He and his place are outstanding.

Cozy location in Weimar. Very tasty, home-style cuisine. Friendly owner who serves himself. We recommend ordering on weekends. We will be back.

Unusual. You won't find that in Berlin anymore! Great dishes, lovingly designed, extremely attentive service! No excessive frills!

Very relaxed place, honest cuisine. Beer is also available in steins.

Stopped in spontaneously, the “store” is world class from A to Z, many greetings from the Saxons

Good Thuringian cuisine, service very friendly

The No.1 in Weimar when it comes to German cuisine

The ribs are to die for, the beer is delicious, the service is very friendly and accommodating - I'll be happy to do so again and often, and can only be recommended

It's time to say thank you. Thank you for the outstanding food every time we are your guests, the excellent service and the beautiful ambience. An absolute Weimar original!!! An absolute tip to experience a lovely evening with home-brewed beer. Thanks to Holger and the team

Great food and great in-house beers!

Super delicious food and very tasty beer, available exclusively here, in wonderfully old-fashioned rooms.

Very, very tasty food! At a reasonable price-performance ratio! Great and courteous service! A restaurant worth stopping by!

They put a lot of effort into fulfilling food requests. Whether without peas or a salad instead of peas or fried potatoes instead of buttered potatoes, the implementation goes smoothly. Besides, it tastes very good.

Very rustic, comfortably furnished brewery inn. Very attentive service. Only original Thuringian cuisine is served. Very good food, very tasty home-made beer that you can also buy to take away. A feeling as if you were with family. Definitely worth a visit.

Leider ist der alte Charme bei der Renovierung verloren gegangen, Schade

Eine der einheimischsten Gaststätten in Weimar. Die Speisekarte ist nicht überfüllt, dass Essen und das selbstgebaute Bier ist fantastisch!
