About
Zapfler is all about awesome craft beer and great people. The beers are brewed under the 500-year-old German Reinheitsgebot by Southern-German brewmeister Dirk Frauenheim. While Zapfler specializes in German Weizen and Helles bier, they also provide a tasty IPA and Pale Ale. All these beers can be enjoyed in the great atmosphere of our bar or outside on the terrace at Found 158. Feeling tired? Then make sure to give Zapfler's Heike Maté a try!

Incredible German food! The classic and traditional German sausages were flavorful and juicy. Also had the steak on hot stone plate. Zapfler makes refreshing craft beers, but if you are nota beer drinker they also have refreshing cider and Mate Iced Tea. Overall great vibes in the restaurant and after they had a neon party event. Happening every Thursday I guess. Definitely going back to party more at Zapfler!

When you go you gotta try the sausage platter along with one of the beers there. I recommend the strongest one. Get drunk quicker. However,service could be a lot better. At times we would try get their attention but they don't patrol enough of the area. They can also try to smile a bit more.

Very festive Christmas Eve night! They had a Christmas eve 4-course feast and it was excellent. The spirit of the holiday season was present while we enjoyed a whole night of good tasting beers and food. The sirloin steak and prawns were made to perfection. Refreshing beers and we loved the wheat beer. Fun night out with friends indeed!

2 couples, ordered family plate with pork knuckle, sausages, goulash etc. 3 people drank alcohol, 3 people ate beef, 3 people had serious stomach issues a few hours later. But not those 3 who drank alcohol, the beef eaters. Next afternoon I walked by Zapfler to share the experience. Duty Manager: "Did you go to hospital, do you have medical records? No? Well apparently it was not that serious." No, I didn't ask for a voucher because I don't want to eat there again.

We visited on a Sunday afternoon due to the location being at Found 158 (which can be pretty wild on a Saturday night). We sat outside. Music was fun, but too loud to enjoy conversation with our friends. Inside area comfortable, but again music was equally as loud inside. Place appeared clean & tidy. Waitstaff was attentive. Husband had the Weisse (wheat) beer, he said it was average in flavor, but nice and cold (good aspect). The menu appears to have a nice variety, we did not eat at this visit.

I had a good time at Zapfler with friends. We had some pork along with steak and vegetables, which were fantastic! The service was also very amicable and accomodating. I think it's the perfect place to enjoy dinner before you head out to the clubs.Definitely coming back for more!

GREAT BEER, & WORST SERVICE in my whole time in SHANGHAI (10 years) ... Cam was our waitress - was completely rude to us from the beginning, and when I explain the reality that my kid has waited over an hour for MINI BURGERS, and everything is slow, and she is bot looking after our table, she answers ‘this is life’.... Wow - I never get upset - I am livid ... I’m sure it’s a one-off, but I own a business, and news like this is uncomfortable, but necessary to be reported ... It’s a simple responsibility of the waiter to care for the experience of the tables she has served. For her, we are a bother ... come back on a quieter night and you will have a better experience! Remember it is GREAT BEER !

Great place, great vibes! It has some of the best beers in Shanghai and they serve giant beers for less than ¥100. They always have DJs and music events on the weekend and definitely the place you want to be when it’s Octoberfest season.

I came here with a friend for dinner and loved it! We had the pork knuckle which was crispy, delicious and HUGE. There's both indoor and outdoor seating here. It was very easy to get a table. Also try the mate drink!

My friend and I wanted to have a Thanksgiving meal together and we tried Zapfler’s popular pork knuckle. Very delicious and a good substitute to turkey, as I don’t really like turkey anyways. The pork knuckle was juicy and skin was very crispy. It came with a side of mashed potatoes and sauerkraut. Ordered a few drinks and craft beers as well. Overall a good time and we even met a few people visiting from the States. Great service from all staff.

===Meal=== Fabulous craft beer. Ordered a pork knuckle - it was gigantic!!! It was tasty. ===pro tip=== Go on a Friday/Saturday night. They have beer drinking competitions at 8pm, 9pm and 10pm. You can participate or watch!! I think watching is more fun haha ===Atmosphere=== Everyone's there to relax and have a good time with their friends / colleagues. ===Service=== Don't worry if you don't speak any mandarin. They have a few filipino staff members who you can talk to in English ===interiors=== Modern / simple, raw-concrete, industrial-look with high ceilings. ===would I go here again?=== Certainly. Found helpful info? Then please smash that helpful button!! ⇣⇣ (I would really appreciate it!!) ⇣⇣ (You're the best.)
