Sternbräu, building in Salzburg, Austria
The Sternbräu is a restaurant in Salzburg's old town with ten rooms and halls plus three outdoor gardens shaded by chestnut trees. It serves Austrian cuisine, house-brewed Sternbier, and meals from breakfast through evening in spaces that blend historic and modern design.
The restaurant has stood since 1542 and blends parts of the original structure with modern updates. The building reflects the city's deep connection to brewing, which may have taken place at this location since medieval times.
The restaurant takes its name from the historic guild symbol of brewers, first documented in 1425 and still visible today. It serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors share meals and experience the city's long-standing brewing tradition through food and drink.
The restaurant opens early in the morning and stays open until late evening, serving breakfast until mid-morning and warm dishes through the evening. Most areas are accessible, with flat or minimal-step entry, though a few rooms have small stairs.
The Sternbier was revived after more than 65 years and is now served in its natural cloudy state. This historical beer connects the brewing tradition with a modern reinterpretation that visitors can taste.
