A Place Under Old Chestnut Trees
The Beer Garden
Opening Hours
May 1 to August 30, 2026
Every Sunday
10:00 AM to 4:00 PM
When the sun shines, life moves outdoors.
Our beer garden is probably one of the most beautiful in the Bamberg region – surrounded and sheltered by mighty, shade-giving chestnut trees.
Here, people sit a little slower.
Under a dense canopy of leaves, with a freshly tapped beer in hand, conversations at the table, and children playing in sight. This is what summer in Würgau feels like. In bad weather, there is the option to retreat to the inn.
No mass tourism. No hustle and bustle.
Just an honest atmosphere, cool drinks, delicious brewery dishes, and Franconian conviviality.
Open during special opening hours, event days, and special occasions.
A place where you don’t just stop by – but stay.
Frequently Asked Questions
Honest Answers - No Frills
Is the beer garden public or only for hotel guests?
Our beer garden is open to everyone.
Whether hotel guests, hikers, cyclists, motorcyclists, or simply looking for a good beer – everyone is welcome here.
Can I bring my own snacks?
Yes, as is traditional and allowed in classic Bamberg beer gardens, you may bring your own food (“Brotzeit”). However, drinks must be purchased on site. Bringing your own food is of course not permitted inside the inn itself.
Do you have self-service?
The beer garden operates on a self-service basis. Just come to the counter in the inn and order your food and drinks.
Can I bring my dog?
Very welcome.
As long as your dog behaves like a good guest, it is warmly welcomed here.
Fresh water is naturally also provided.
Do you have a playground for children?
Unfortunately, we do not yet have a traditional playground. But we are working on it.
Can I get a beer outside of opening hours?
Currently: beer is available during our opening hours and daily during the brewery’s beer sales times (daily 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM).
But no one in Würgau goes thirsty – though you shouldn’t rely on it.
Do you still brew your own beer?
The roots of Gasthof Hartmann lie in the brewing craft – and you can still feel that today.
With our “Hero’s Drink” we continue this tradition – modernly interpreted but deeply rooted in Würgau.
What are the opening hours?
Our opening hours vary depending on the season and events.
It’s best to check online briefly – there you will always find the current times.
Where can I park?
There are parking spaces directly at the inn for cars, motorhomes, motorcycles, and bicycles for our guests.
Please use the designated areas – so it stays relaxed for everyone.
How long does it take to walk to Scheßlitz?
On foot about 30–40 minutes – quite relaxed through the Franconian countryside.
By bike it’s faster. And the way back might be even more relaxed.
Can I reserve a table?
In the beer garden: arrive, find a seat, enjoy. If you are a group and want to come outside opening hours, just call – something can surely be arranged.
Good to Know
The questions you often only ask yourself on site.
Do you have Wi-Fi?
Yes – but outside the reception is sometimes weaker than the atmosphere.
And maybe that’s a good thing.
Do I have to dress up?
No.
Here, it’s not about the outfit but about feeling comfortable.
What is the Hero’s Drink?
Our own beer – lightly smoky, honest, and full of character.
Not mainstream, but a piece of Hartmann in a glass.
Is breakfast available for non-hotel guests?
Yes – our inn breakfast is also open to non-hotel guests. It’s best to give a short notice – for example via WhatsApp – then everything will be prepared.
Brauerei-Gasthof Hartmann – Tavern since 1550.
Honest. Franconian. And a little special.
