Schnitzelbank
Weinstube Schnitzelbank
A cozy tavern converted from a 19th-century cooperage, where you can sit at old workbenches to enjoy Saumagen and local wines by the glass.
Tucked behind a narrow storefront at Bauamtsgasse 7 in the Old Town, this tavern was originally a cooperage dating back to 1882. The dining tables are converted from old workbenches, set in a dimly lit space filled with vintage objects. It has been run by the Schuster family since 1992. Signatures include Palatinate Saumagen (stuffed pig's stomach), homemade liver dumplings, schnitzel, and cheese spaetzle, with wines served by the quarter-liter. The tavern is small, and guests report it fills up quickly after opening at 17:00, so arriving early or booking in advance is advised. Average cost is around 20–30 EUR. Located near Universitätsplatz and Hauptstraße, within easy walking distance.
