Zum Stadtkrug

Top choice in Northern Germany


The dark beer brewery at this 1936-established pub consistently rates among the best in Germany. It’s full of antique brewing equipment, and it opens to an inviting beer garden. The menu features a familiar – albeit well-prepared – assortment of schnitzels and porky mains.
