Zipfer Bierhaus, Historic restaurant at Universitätsplatz, Salzburg, Austria.
Zipfer Bierhaus is a restaurant spanning two locations on Universitätsplatz and Sigmund-Haffner-Gasse, serving traditional Austrian dishes and beers from the Zipfer brewery. The establishment occupies connected buildings with cozy interior spaces that feel historic and well-used.
The establishment opened in 1823 and took its current name in 1907 as the brewing partnership developed. It stands among the oldest restaurants in downtown Salzburg and has continuously operated through various historical periods.
The tavern maintains Austrian beer hall customs with communal seating arrangements and a warm, informal social atmosphere. Locals and travelers share tables, creating the social experience typical of traditional Salzburg gathering places.
The restaurant operates Tuesday through Saturday with warm meals available during midday and evening hours. Guests should allow time to explore both buildings since they are connected but offer different spaces and seating areas.
Wolfgang Mozarts sister Nannerl lived in an apartment above the establishment and regularly visited the tavern. This connection to the Mozart family adds a notable link to Salzburgs musical heritage.
