In-Depth Information
(Königstrasse 60)
This beer hall is a popular spot to hug a mug of site-brewed ale, bub-
bling frothily in the copper kettles that occupy the cavernous vaulted cellar. Traditional
trappings have been done away with, yellow polo shirts having replaced Dirndl and local
kitsch kept to a minimum.

adequate job.
