Zum Siechenbräu
One of Weimar's highest-rated places on Tripadvisor, serving freshly made Thuringian dumplings with house-brewed 'Weimarer Siechn' beer at affordable prices.
Zum Siechenbräu is on the edge of the Old Town near Jacob's Gate. Its history goes back to 1384, when a leper hospital was established here. The house brews its own 'Weimarer Siechn' beer and serves traditional Thuringian home cooking: freshly made potato dumplings with red cabbage and gravy, braised beef with dumplings, beef rolls, Mutzbraten roast pork, half a roast duck and game stew. The dumplings are made to order, so expect a short wait. Main courses cost about €8–24, and only cash is accepted. Open only for dinner, closed Sundays and Mondays. There is a beer garden in summer, and weekends call for reservations.
Opening hours
Tue–Sat 17:00–21:30; closed Sundays and Mondays
