The Burgschänke is an old German name for a kneipe or otherwise commonly known as a pub. It's…read morelocated in a 700 year old barn and it's quite small. They can fit about 50 people in the bar and there is some outdoor seating with view of the beautiful castle next door and some nice manicured gardens. I was taken here by a colleague who knows the owners of this pub as well as the owners of the castle. The atmosphere here is fabulous and unless you knew this place existed you would probably not find it. Don't expect any English as your chances of finding this is pretty slim. They have a huge screen set up and showing the World Cup games and it was packed with locals tonight for the Germany game. They serve mostly beer and wine and some schnapps. The food menu is small and it's mostly things like cheeses, cold meats, breads and so on. I would love to come back here again and soak in the beautiful surroundings and the atmosphere.

Designed after a classic Irish pub, it looks great and has a lovely ambience and good service. They serve Guinness, Kilkenny and Strongbow Cider Vom fass.

I would happily come back here again.

But never the less it was nice to just sit down and have a beer. There were pool tables and lets face it the beer was pretty good. The staff took a while to serve us, but then again Im getting used to that in Germany! I guess at the end of the day it is bensberg.not Köln. But we will go there again after work every now and then for a quiet beer, maybe it gets better in summer

Yes the novelty name brought me here. Happy?…read more This is basically a sports bar; the perfect place in Bonn to come and watch the Bundesliga. But it also felt like it might have something to offer even if there was nothing to watch. There were a couple of interesting beers for example (the Astra Urtyp (which means prototype!) was pretty nice. Unfortunately they had the horrible electronic darts machines you find around Germany - they have three in fact! I'd be interested to see what it was like on a normal night.
