Johann Schäfer beer garden on the Rhine

beer garden/ outdoor dining

Between Rheinauhafen and Südbrücke

An open-air venue that has been enriching the culinary life of Rheinauhafen since 2020. Between Südkai and Südbrücke, a deliberately low-threshold setting has been created that appeals to walkers as well as people looking for a short break by the water.

The beer garden combines brewery culture with a clear, contemporary signature. Freshly tapped beer, simple hot meals and small snacks form the core offering - easy to take away or enjoy on the spot. On warm days in particular, there is a pleasant sense of immediacy: steps by the river, a short break, then onwards.

Seasonal accents can be found in the drinks menu. When the temperatures drop, hot drinks take the place of cold refreshments. This activates a different perception of the place, which always offers new moods throughout the year.

The address and location make the beer garden a reliable meeting point for people who appreciate the Rhine as an urban space and at the same time prefer a deliberately reduced gastronomic offering. Reservations are not required; you can visit on the spur of the moment.
