Peschl Terraces
The Peschl Terraces belong to Passau's tradition-rich Peschl family brewery and are one of the whole city's most popular gathering spots on warm days. Climb up from the old-town lanes and you are rewarded with several leafy terrace levels that step up the hillside above the rooftops. Under old chestnut trees you sit in the shade, gaze out over the baroque roofscape and enjoy a classic Bavarian beer-garden experience right in the heart of the city of three rivers.
The food follows a down-to-earth, honest tavern style: hearty snacks with Obatzda, radish and pretzels, crispy roast pork with dumplings, schnitzel, sausages and changing daily specials. To go with it, the house Peschl beer is freshly tapped, from an easy-drinking lager to seasonal specialities. Value for money is fair and matches the relaxed, family-friendly character of the place.
The terraces are equally suited to a spontaneous after-work beer, a cosy meal with family and friends or a refreshing break while sightseeing. The central old-town location, just minutes from the town hall square and the Danube bank, makes the beer garden a dependable anchor point for locals and visitors alike, anyone who wants to experience the real Passau way of life on a balmy summer evening.
