Bräustübl

Top choice in Berchtesgaden


Past the vaulted entrance painted in Bavaria's white and blue diamonds this lively but cosy beer hall–beer garden is run by the local brewery. Expect a carnivorous feast with favourites such as pork roast and the house speciality: breaded calf's head (tastes better than it sounds). On Friday and Saturday, an oompah band launches into knee-slapping action.
