The Worst Restaurant in Germany!!!! Especially for Asians – DO NOT GO!! A cowardly place that deletes comments.!!
I am an Asian currently living in Europe for five months. During these five months, I have never felt discriminated against and have instead enjoyed the laid-back European lifestyle and the kindness Europeans show, especially towards children. I have felt the care and consideration of Europeans throughout my stay.
Before traveling to Germany, I read reviews about this place, known for its beer. If you’ve read the reviews carefully, you’ll notice that there are occasional mentions of discrimination.
Even after reading those reviews, I thought, “Surely, people might just be misunderstanding,” and decided to visit.
Since we didn’t make a reservation, we were directed to a side building instead of the main restaurant. A female staff member there asked if we had a reservation. When we said no, she told us we couldn’t enter and would have to wait for an hour. However, we had seen Western customers drinking beer outdoors, so we brought this up.
The staff member then changed her response, saying that it was possible to drink beer outdoors but not to have food. We agreed to just have beer outdoors. (At the time, there were several empty tables inside.)
We assumed these empty tables were “reserved,” but then we saw Western customers being seated. From their hesitant behavior, we got the feeling they didn’t have reservations either. (Of course, this is just my personal impression.)
However, what upset us was that empty tables were quickly given to Western customers, and the way they were treated was noticeably different from how we were treated. At the time, I tried to think, “Maybe they did have reservations.”
Our children were hungry, so we asked another male staff member if there were any available tables. He told us to wait a little.
As we waited outside, drinking beer, the male staff member never came back. Instead, the female staff member kept seating new customers.
She even brought us the bill before we asked for it.
That was the moment I became certain: We were being discriminated against.
Shortly after, a group of Korean customers arrived, and I asked them, “Did you make a reservation?” They said no. Yet, they were seated immediately. (Even so, the treatment they received from the male and female staff was different from how they treated Western customers.)
I am convinced that either there are discriminatory staff in this establishment, or there are employees who choose who to serve.
I don’t think this is just a problem with the staff. Looking at the reviews, there are mentions of discrimination, and the owner doesn’t seem to care about addressing this. This makes me believe that the owner shares the same mindset.
When my children read about Germany’s history in their world history books and commented, “Germany seems like a bad place,” I proudly told them, “It’s a country that reflects on its past and has become admirable.”
Today, I feel ashamed of what I said.
For the first time during their time in Europe, my children experienced discrimination and concluded, “Germany is a bad place.”
Let me be clear: Germany is not the problem. The issue lies with the unacceptable behavior of the staff.
However, from the perspective of tourists, the staff’s behavior becomes a reflection of the country itself.
As for the beer, honestly, I thought the beer in the Czech Republic tasted better. But one good thing is that this place offers a variety of beer...
Read moreThe food was wonderful, the beer flights were fantastic, and the whiskey was out of this world. We chose to end our day in Nuremberg, after sampling some of the city's different food and places to have a beer or two, and this place blew them all away. Stepping out to the patio area was very nice and well maintained. there were apartments and other buildings right up next to the property. It had a very real feeling to it. The waitress was very kind and understanding in our limited German speaking and helped us to understand the food and beer that we had any questions about. We spend a good 4 hours here and it still didn't feel like long enough to soak up all there was to offer. We stopped into the small shop inside and purchased a large bottle of the Ayers bourbon barrel aged whiskey that i had and enjoyed so much for the flight back to the states, as well as a stone mug that has been added into my collection of different American craft brewery glasses. I cant speak for the people i was with while here, but my next trip to this beautiful country will have more time reserved for such a great city, and great...
Read moreWe recently spent a few days in Nuremburg and stopped by Hausbrauerei Altstadthof along Bergstraße. Opening hours are 11am to 12am daily. This is a brewery that seems to have been here for other 30 years, brewing speciality beers including the locally famous red beer which dates back to the 14th-century in Nuremburg.
This is a neat traditional bar with a dark interior, quite a few visitors at the time of our visit. They serve food and drinks. We tried the dark beer and a the special red beer. Both were fine, not favourites of ours nor anything bad. Service was rather slow during our visit, just one person taking care of the entire seating area.
Overall, not a bad place for a round of beers after a few hours of sightseeing around the city. We'd consider stopping here again...
