Restaurant Pub and Spare Ribs at ‘Zum Adler’ in Oberursel

We have been regulars at this restaurant pub for the past 24 years. One of our friends took us there back in 1995, when we had just moved here from Japan. Back then, the Bratwurst (fried sausage in a bread roll) was still DM 2, which was about one Euro. We always liked their Biergarten, and the pub itself still has the same table, where the famous Red Baron used to have its sun downer – right here in Oberursel!

The photo shows the side entrance, which takes you directly into the Biergarten.

As our life changed over the years, we had not been back there for a while. Then it changed ownership a little while back, and we tried their new Greek cuisine (they also serve tradition German dishes), and it was good.

Yesterday, we decided to have spare ribs (another friend’s recommendation). This was really good, and so was the service. The only thing that surprised us was being the only customers in the Biergarten on a Saturday evening. We got there by about 6:30 and when we left at about 8:10, we were still the only customers there.

This type of restaurant pub is usually called in German:

1) Gaststätte, 2) Gasthof, or 3) Gasthaus. ‘Gast’ means guest, and these places usually had rooms to let upstairs. But the days of the Wandergesellen (journey men), who boarded there while traveling and looking for work, have long dwindled since then. All that remains for most of these Gasthäuser is the restaurant pub.

Beer and Soccer in Germany

Another Friday night out with my husband saw us at our favorite pub Zum Adler in Oberursel.The cool and rainy weather in May has turned into a fairly warm and humid one by now. And a cold beer tastes really good right now.

Any German beer will do...

The painted rock with # 10 identifies our table to the waitress. What looks like an American number 7 is a German 1.

Most Biergarten come furnished with a TV screen nowadays, such as Zum Adler (you can spot the big DU on the screen). This one is built into the framework of the adjacent half-timbered building.

Any Biergarten will do...

as long as it comes with a screen to watch the World Cup games.

Tomorrow evening I will be at the Null Zwo pub in Bad Homburg watching Germany play Australia while sitting outside and enjoying good German beer.
