Schüttinger Gasthausbrauerei

Schüttinger opened in 1990 as a brewpub in central Bremen. A short walk from the market square and town hall, it exchanges the square’s formal tone for long wooden tables, shared benches and a room designed for company. The business describes its beer as top-fermented, natural and unfiltered. Its Blonde and Red varieties let visitors compare two malt-and-hop profiles without mistaking the venue for an old wine cellar: the focus here is beer made in the house.

The official menu advertises substantial brewpub dishes and Bremen specialities; read the current menu for particular choices and dietary needs before ordering. The address is Hinter dem Schüttinger 12–13. Published hours start at 11:30 daily, closing at 23:00 Monday to Thursday, 01:00 Friday and Saturday, and 22:00 Sunday. The number is +49 421 337 6633. Its website says the vaulted party cellar, active on Fridays and Saturdays, is cashless; do not assume the same policy applies to every room without asking on arrival.

People reviewing the brewpub frequently value the beer, sociable atmosphere and portions. Some also describe considerable noise and an experience livelier than an intimate meal, especially when groups or music nights coincide. It suits someone wanting local beer with food after sightseeing, while a quiet table or an interest in historic wines points towards the Ratskeller. Alcohol is not required to appreciate the place: its kitchen is another reason to visit, provided the brewpub setting appeals.
