This old-style Brauhaus (brewery) has been around in some form since the 16th century. Dishes flit effortlessly between tradition and outside influences – the dry-aged steak or wiener schnitzel are assuring, while Italian pasta also makes an appearance. It's right in the centre, just off the western end of Am Sande.
