A brewpub in the old town serving Osnabrück beers including the classic Ratsherren Pils, brewed according to a recipe associated with the city for generations. The pub occupies a traditional building a short walk from the Marktplatz, with a vaulted interior that works in all weathers and a terrace that fills up quickly on warm evenings. It is popular with a cross-section of local life — students, older regulars, office workers on a Friday — rather than being aimed at any particular crowd.
The food is the standard Central European pub range: sausages, schnitzels, bread with regional toppings. Nothing extraordinary, but it is well-prepared and substantial. The main reason to come is the beer, which is better than the mass-market alternatives and fairly priced. It is a dependable first or last stop for a day spent working through the old town.
