Barfüsser Brauhaus

Nuremberg


This cellar beer hall deep below street level is a popular spot to hug a mug of site-brewed ale, bubbling frothily in the copper kettles that occupy the cavernous vaulted interior. The traditional trappings of the huge quaffing space clash oddly with the polo shirts of the swift-footed waiting staff, but that's our only criticism.
