Of course, there's also goulash, various schnitzel options, thumb-thick pork chops, bratwurst, or thick beans with bacon, Himmel un Ääd, or Halve Hahn. On certain weekdays, fresh potato pancakes or pork knuckles are added. The prices are pleasantly moderate.Moreover, there is also a daily menu – here, the offerings are special and change regularly.

For vegetarians, the menu offers salads or small dishes.History: An inn with roots back to 1889The tavern was founded as early as 1889 – by none other than Max Stark. It was heavily damaged in World War II, had to close, and only received an emergency roof again in 1953. Several ownership and name changes followed. At the turn of the millennium, the brewhouse came back to life under its old name.
