"The pizza was burned and the waiter never returned. I ate the unburned parts. The waiter brought the bill and shrugged his shoulders when I showed him the pizza. Without prior disclosure, a service charge was also added to the bill, and I was told it was standard at their establishment."
Patti McGuire
"A spacious family place with a friendly staff. We've ordered pasta & waited to 15-20 minutes to eat these delicious dishes😋"

5 of the Best Craft Beer Bars in Leipzig
Touristy city centres tend to specialise in overpriced big brand beer that capitalises on passing trade. Brauhaus an der Thomaskirche may be in the old city centre but it is a hidden gem for a more traditional take on craft beer, with a 250,000 litre annual capacity for brewing beer, starting from grinding wheat malt and barley all the way through to fermentation. Everything is naturally in line with the German Purity Law of 1516 and the beers are served unfiltered and unstrained.
