Brauereigasthof Faessla - Bamberg

We spent 2 nights here and were very pleased with the comfort and the quality of the room and facilities, The room rate included breakfast from 7am to 10am and there was a very good choice of meats, cheeses, fruit, cereal, boiled eggs etc. The lady in attendance at breakfast was perfectly charming and so obliging! Nothing was too much trouble for her! We had a very positive experience staying here and would not hesitate to recommend it.We dined here as well on two occasions and were very pleased with the choice of hearty main meals as well as lighter snacks. Being a brewery the beer did not disappoint! No toiletries are provided nor is there a hairdryer in the room so bring your own.

Located not far from the train station, this stop was a great success. Of all the breweries we visited or tried, this was one of my favorites for the beer. You can actually see the brewery and loading from behind the restaurant as well. The atmosphere was quaint, visited by mostly locals, and the food was solid German fare. Staff was nice and English friendly. Seemed like a simple lunch spot for a family as well. Affordable and I would recommend it to others visiting Bamberg if you are willing to walk about ten minutes outside of the old town or just arriving in off the train.

I had hoped to sample the beer and eat dinner here. I arrived at 5 pm and was greeted with a reserved sign on every empty table and a really bad vibe coming from the rest. The lone female bartender was conversing with a local cop, who also gave me stink eye. The bartender never made eye contact or acknowledged me in any way. One of the drunken (at 5 pm) middle aged locals did acknowledge me and shouted an insult in illiterate Franconian dialect that I did not completely understand. But I come from a beach community where "localism" against tourists is well known, so I know that vibe and I got the heck out. Save yourself from the experience and go somewhere else. Like the Brasserie I reviewed.

We came to try their own dunkel beer, it was good! They have only 1 dark beer type, but I know in October they have some special beer. So if you go to Bamberg in October - go and try it:)

Enjoy a couple of smoked beer here. It's very authentic; typical German beer house. Not exactly friendly, but comfortable and easy to sit down and enjoy a drink!
