Hinkelstein - Marburg

I came upon this place by chance, it is a cellar bar so doesn't have much 'street presence'. The bar was lovely and cool (outside temp was 35C) and felt like a proper locals bar. Sometimes these types of places can be a bit intimidating but the staff were really welcoming and very comical. They spoke with a lot of knowledge about the beers they had and imparted a lot of good tips for visiting Marbrg. I saw them making a peach, wine and brown beer concoction which this bar is apparently well known for but wasn't brave enough to try this local delicacy!! Great music. Well worth a visit.

Nice place near the Rathaus, with typical German beer. The place is really charming, the only negative thing is that there is no place for non-smokers.

One of the really must-see spots in Marburg. Deep in the heart of Marburg's Oberstadt, this is a real gem of a pub. It can get noisy once the students shake down their parents for enough cash and then set about drinking the reserves dry! Some lovely beers to be had including the "Altbierbowle" and "Bananenweizbier", both go down lovely and no matter how much of them you knock back, they stay down! Really friendly staff, multi-lingual and the atmosphere is otherworldly.

The place and location is great, however as I got my drink, it was very poor and I claimed the waiter for something better. He was rude and didn't give what I expected. Bad experience in this fabulous Marburg.

This bar has three key things, cheap beer, a bolder hanging over the bar, and a bunker like room in the back. The main seating area is part wine cellar part bunker and totally cool. The bolder hanging over the bar is HUGE and a must see.
