Drehpendel: German Italian Restaurant in Bierstadt
Drehpendel is a hidden gem right for a great night out right in Bierstadt! The restaurant offers great food and also a German bowling alley called, Kegelbahn.
The Restaurant
The owners are a husband and wife. The husband is from Italy and the wife is from Croatia. The menu consists of German and Italian dishes. Each meal looks and tastes like a home-cooked meal. This is a great break from fast food dinners or big restaurants that rush you out. The atmosphere of the restaurant is so relaxed and laid back. You really feel like you are at your own or someones home. Locals come in and have their dinner as if it is a weekly ritual. The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. This is a great place to sit back, relax and enjoy your meal after a hard day. When I went to eat there at the end of the work week, I left feeling very satisfied from my meal and relaxed from the overall atmosphere. The prices are great and they also take credit card.
They even have a children's menu with pictures! How fun for little ones to also chose their meal.
Try a local treat: Rambacher/ Obstwasser Schnapps. It is a type of distilled alcoholic drink and the menu for these are on the tables. Obstwasser Schnapps is a German fruit brandy made from apples, pears, cherries and more.
The tables are comfortable and they have a few kitchen nooks! This is very relaxing and even your little ones can stretch out after a big meal of yummy pizza! (I wish adults could get away with that in public!)
Save room for dessert because the ice cream was delicious! They also have many other choices like apple strudel.
The Kegelbahn
Right in the restaurant they have a large room with kegelbahn lanes. You can eat and drink while you play! What great night out with family and friends! Or even an innovative and fun place for a groups Hail and Farewell!
Kegelbahn is also known as nine-pin bowling which is primarily played in Europe. The first time it was played was in
Medieval times in Germany. The game is like bowling where you roll the ball down the alley towards the pins, but the ball is much smaller and lighter. You can hold the ball in the palm of your hand. There are also no holes for your fingers. (No broken nails, ladies!) You get points for the pins that you knock down on each throw.
Home-style German or Italian food, drinks and some sport with friends is a perfect recipe for a fun night out!
