Beer cellars and beer gardens

Sitting outdoors and enjoying a beer or two is a long-standing tradition in Franconian Switzerland – whether in a beer garden or a beer cellar.

🌳 Beer gardens

Beer gardens are a standard feature of Franconian inns and can be found at almost every inn. They range from haphazardly arranged seating to romantic spots beneath wonderfully fragrant apple trees.

🍺 Beer cellars

These drinking establishments, originally built for convenience above beer cellars, have become part of Franconian cultural heritage. You can usually bring your own food here to enjoy with a freshly tapped beer. Food is usually available too, but it tends to be simple fare – ranging from a snack platter to currywurst.
