Weinstube Hottum
Old-town wine tavern on record since 1791, ranked first as Mainz's best Weinstube in the Merkurist readers' poll.
A small wine tavern on Grebenstraße in the Old Town, with records dating back to 1791. In the 2025 readers' vote of local media outlet Merkurist, it was again named Mainz's best wine tavern. Seating is limited and it is a favorite of locals; it is often full after 5:30 p.m., so call ahead. It specializes in Rheinhessen wines with local small plates. Spundekäs cheese dip with rye bread and Handkäs mit Musik are the regulars' picks. About 20–30 euros per person, including a glass of wine. About 5 minutes' walk from the cathedral.
