Went here based off the recommendation of our tour guide and I really enjoyed it. The staff was definitely not the friendliest and I don't think they love tourists which in a tourist centric town probably isn't the greatest identity to have. The food was super delicious. I got the pork schnitzel which was really great with the cranberry. Honestly there were so many dishes that looked so good to eat but I wasn't sure what was what. There were different languages available for the menu which was nice, I wish there were maybe some photos to go with them. I also wish the drink menu had other languages. Overall good atmosphere and the food was delicious.

Phenomenal! #832 is pictured and so delicious! Quality service and this was also gluten free- would 100% return here again!

Stiftskeller is an atmospheric restaurant and beer garden serving Tirolean and Austrian dishes in a casual setting. To start, the Tiroler Jausenteller was a plate of assorted Tirolean appetizers including smoked bacon, Tirolean cheese, cold roast pork, horseradish, a spread of lard, and a sausage spread, all served with brown bread. We also had the trio of dumplings, which came with a spinach, onion, and cheese dumpling, each of which was doughy, chewy, and cooked with butter and Parmesan cheese, which added a nice salty flavor. Finally, we had the Mixed Salad as a side, which came with a variety of salads including pickled carrots, pickled cabbage, cucumbers, tomatoes, greens, and potato salad in an acidic dressing. Of everything we had, my favorite components were probably the sausage spread with bread as well as the salads, but everything was tasty and came at a good value.

More like 3.5 stars. The lady that served us wasn't very friendly. The food itself wasn't bad. The food is super traditional and authentic so if you're not used to that, it might not be your thing. I loved every single dip though. My fiancé enjoyed the beers. So nice stop if you want something very unique while you're in the area.

Stiftskeller offers a super authentic Austrian dining experience with attentive service. While the cuisine wasn't quite to my personal taste, it was hearty and satisfying. I opted for the roast pork with pretzel dumpling and sauerkraut, which, while a bit flavorless for my liking, showcased good natural flavors. If you're in the mood for traditional Austrian fare and appreciate a cozy atmosphere with excellent service, Stiftskeller is worth a visit.

The beer garden is nice with full cover. Good busy atmosphere. A drinking place so the food is decent but not outstanding. Had boiled beef with potatoes and spinach, and salad with chicken breast - both kind of bland, chicken too dry, good portions. Service is laid back - you seat yourself and it could be a while before they get to you especially when busy so you can't be in a hurry. If sitting at a larger table when busy others may ask you to share. Good for people watching as it's right by the palace.

Goulash

A very boisterous beer hall, with tasty traditional food. We came here cold and hungry after a hike, and we left very satisfied! The beef goulash was right on point, as was the Tyrol tasting platter, which was an assortment of smoked meat, speck, mountain cheese, etc. The waitress had to be summoned a few times, but the food came out quickly.

For super amazing beer and food, Stiftskeller is the place to be in Innsbruck. I'm a forever fan of the beerhall and this one is unique and legit with lots of history on its walls. People rave about the Beef Goulash which was pretty good, but I can only eat a few bites of it before it overwhelms my taste buds. You must definitely try their dumplings. I recommend getting the dumpling sample (3 different ones) and wash it down with a liter of their well-crafted brew. Places like these are what makes Europe so great.

Fantastic! Great ambiance. They take care of locals first so tourists expect to find a Reserved notice on the tables. Even after you sit down. We had an Edelstoff hell and a Vollbier hell. They are hardly distinguishable, but good local beer just the same. Next time, Weissbier. I had 893 Six grilled sausages with sauerkraut and mustard. It was delicious. Best I've had since coming to Austria. She had the Wurstlopf - three different sausages, two different mustards, and a pretzel. She liked it. I only tried the frankfurter and it was tasty.

Enjoyed our meals at Stiftskeller. It was a busy day, because it was raining outside so most people wanted a shelter, and of course it was lunch time. Photos speak a thousand words.

Dark beer and schweinebraten.

If you are looking for a typical bar/restaurant this is it. The prices are reasonable. The service was fast...and beer was pretty good...although the selection was somewhat limited.

Our hotel made reservations for us. A perfect place to experience authentic Austrian food! I got the Innsbucker Snitzel - very good.

Part of eating in the Old Town is watching the tour groups arrive, follow their guide, and smiling for a few photos in your direction.
