Turm Brauhaus
Turm-Brauhaus
A house-brewing pub across from the town hall, with copper brewing equipment in the center of its three-level hall. Famous for its Chemnitz Tower beer and crispy roast pork knuckle.
Located in the old town center on Neumarkt, facing the town hall and next to the Red Tower. The interior is decorated in turn-of-the-century style, with three levels of seating arranged around central copper brewing equipment, and guided tours explain the brewing process. The signature beers are the unfiltered “Original Chemnitzer Turmbräu” pale and amber ales, some of which have won European awards, along with the house spirit “Turmgeist.” The food is classic German beer-hall fare, including roast pork knuckle with amber beer gravy and Saxon braised beef. A pork knuckle and beer special is often offered on Mondays. A large beer garden stands out front. Reviews are mixed, with occasional complaints about food not being hot enough, so it is best suited to drinking beer and enjoying simple meals. Main courses cost about €15–20.
