Steinhaus Keller
Steinhaus Keller is a German restaurant in Hot Springs with stone walls and low ceilings that create a cave-like feeling. It serves hearty dishes like schnitzel and goulash, German draft beers, and features old-fashioned decor with live musical performances in indoor and outdoor seating areas.
The restaurant opened in 1931 and has remained a staple of Hot Springs dining ever since. Its enduring presence across the decades demonstrates how it has maintained its role as a gathering place for traditional German cuisine.
The restaurant draws its name from the stone walls and cave-like structure that evoke a cozy German tavern. This design choice and naming reflect how visitors experience the place as a piece of Germany transplanted to Arkansas.
The restaurant is located in Spencer's Corner, the historic downtown of Hot Springs, making it easy to find. It is open most days and visits during weekday afternoons or early evenings tend to offer a more relaxed experience than busy weekends.
The restaurant features an outdoor biergarden where guests can enjoy German beers in good weather, offering a completely different atmosphere from the stone interior. This outdoor space is especially popular during spring and summer months.
