I was invited by my friends to this quaint place by the canal (they call it river). Nestled in the vicinity of what seems to be an old warehouse converted to an array of pubs and bars. After being in Changzhou for the last 2...years, this place certainly is worth visiting. With the nostalgic charm, it kind of reminded me of Clark Quay in Singapore or the “Hutong” in Beijing. This restaurant have a generous display of distillery as it’s backdrop with a good variety of draft beer. Ask for the English menu. The 3 of us ordered:- - Salad - Burger - Pork Knuckle (didn’t come with sauerkraut) - Pasta The taste was acceptable for the price they charge but I feel that the servings are a tat too small for European/German serving. I’m an Australian so, maybe I’m just used to the servings there. The place was bustling (for a mid-week) with folks from the working class. The “looped” music and video played as you dine. I was told that they used to have foreign waiting staff engaging with the diners. That’s the only glitch that I think impaired my ratings. The waiting staff understandably are locals who may not be as engaging as the experienced ones. They were not able to recommend spontaneously, their menu highlights and being a “first-timer”, I have to contend to negate the menu on my own. The table top were rather narrow and disproportionate to the plates they put on the table. The food and quality would be close to what you’d expect in German food. However, look out for an “Indian” dish that sits rather odd in the menu. Certainly worth the try and I’m sure this place will be “rockin’ N rolling” over weekends and Octoberfest.More

Yummy drinks and food. The Mate cocktail is very delicious. The staff and manager Asta suggested it as I mentioned I don’t really drink beer. So they suggested Mate cocktail because it is not a beer. You can choose to mix it with any spirits...or even wine. I tried different combinations but the mix with vodka was my favorite. Thanks for accommodating my preferences. My friends said they love the craft beers too.More

I arrive on Sept 17th for dinner at 730 pm. We were seated outside upon arrival because there was a large group reservation inside but no one was there yet. We ordered drinks and when the drinks came, we were ready to order food. We...were then informed that the kitchen is closed for all orders because they are cooking the large groups food!!!! Can you believe this? If that’s the case, then shut down the entire restaurant and inform people that the restaurant kitchen will be closed. Or hire more cooks. Or cook some of the food ahead of time? I’m amazed the manager was refusing to cook for anyone who’s already seated at the restaurant. The entire situation was handled extremely poor. We walked out and won’t be back anytime soon. Its a shame they treat their everyday customers this way. We even asked if they could just throw a pizza in the oven for us to keep it simple. They refused!More
