About Stein Bier Keller

Stein Bier Keller is a Bavarian-themed bier hall in the basement of the Royal Buildings at 13 Bigg Market, below City Vaults and close to Monument Metro. It opened in 2014 after a reported £650,000 conversion of the former cellars, and is laid out in the style of a German beer hall, with long wooden bench tables and beer served in steins.

The bar pours German draught beers alongside a range of bottled beers, with German sausages on the food side, and live oompah bands play on many nights. It is a popular choice for groups, stag and hen parties and private bookings, and also hosts themed events such as bingo nights. Opening days and times vary, so check the venue's website or social channels before going.
