A few friendly tips
- Paying
- Cash, girocard and credit cards (Visa, Mastercard). Splitting the check is normal here – the server will ask "zusammen oder getrennt?" (together or separate?).
- Tipping
- Service is included in German prices, but rounding up 5–10 % is customary. Tell the server the total when you pay ("make it €30") instead of leaving cash on the table.
- Water & bread
- Water is ordered like any drink (still or sparkling). Tap water is free on request – just ask for "Leitungswasser".
- Kids & dogs
- High chairs, colouring cards and kids' plates are available. Well-behaved dogs are welcome inside the parlour and in the beer garden – very German.
- Step-free access
- The hall and beer garden are step-free, with an accessible toilet at the hall entrance.
- Parking & charging
- 35 free parking spaces on site, two with an EV charger (11 kW).
