Bierhaus zum Augustin

Klagenfurt


This beer hall, part of a local chain, is one of Klagenfurt's liveliest haunts for imbibers, with a particularly warm traditional-pub atmosphere. There’s a cobbled courtyard at the back for al-fresco eating. The menu is as Carinthian as can be, with bar snacks of rye spread with a spicy meat paste, the delightful 'beer sandwich' and a trio of beef, brawn and aspic.

Mains include premium Carinthian beef steaks, pork tenderloin pieces with spaetzle, perch with creamed spinach and garlic butter, and huge meat-augmented salads.
