Regensburger Beergarden Review Webpage

Willkommen in Regensburg! We are happy you decided to come to Lattice 2007. And if you thought of skipping the conference this year, we hope that this little glimpse of what else Regensburg has to offer helps to change your mind.
We are not reviewing all of Regensburg on this webpage. There are plenty of other sources describing the rich history (established in 179 AD as Castra Regina) and attractions this city has. We leave that job to the Tourist Office. Instead, we focus upon one aspect of life in the area: the beergardens.
Beer drinkers rejoice, for lo and behold, just as the name implies, ``beergardens'' are places where one can enjoy a few beers. However, this is not the only thing offered at such establishments. A variety of soft drinks are usually available and even beer drinkers can help keep their edge (or at least remain hydrated) by ordering a ``Radler'' (translated as ``bicyclist'', it is a mixture of beer and sparkling lemonade). Food is also available, ranging from just a snack menu (Brotzeit Karte) at some places to whole meals at most. The location (some are situated directly on the river), tree coverage (for shade in the heat), and the service can all help to set a nice atmosphere. When considering each beergarden, we take into account each of these aspects: the beer, the food, and the atmosphere. Of course, this last category will also be highly dependent upon the weather. So let's all hope for the best.
One last word about location: Given that Regensburg is situated in the lush valley of the Danube river (Donau), there are many ideal locations to sit outside during the summer months and enjoy some snacks and refreshments in the daytime shade or cool evening air. We hope you take advantage of this opportunity while here and hope that, with the aid of the following pages, you are not disappointed with your beergardening experience.

[Note about service:
By many other countries' standards, the service at true beergardens is
deplorable. In our opinion, this is really part of the experience.
But keep in mind that since we have become used to this fact, our service
rating scale ``must be appropriately renormalized'', which, as we all know,
means ``useless without an experiment''.
So get out there and experience the fun for yourself.
Tipping for ``good'' service and food is usually a round-up procedure, at
most 10%.]

1st Disclaimer:
Our visits to the aforementioned beergardens stretch over a significant time
span, beginning in the summer of 2006.
We therefore accept no responsibility for changes (different beer brands,
menus, or service) which may have taken place in the interim to make a
given place less attractive (if more attractive, then yes, that was our
doing).
We are doing our best to remain vigilant and stay well informed about such
possibilities.
Our rating system (only ``Good'', ``Great'', and ``Excellent'' have been mentioned) may seem slightly skewed. Fair enough, we hold no pretensions about being objective, and although there is a selection effect in our results since we did not bother to rate some other places by which we were not impressed, we must admit that we are easily swayed by a glass of good Bavarian beer served in the sunshine. We hope you are equally mystified.
