Gasthaus zur Schranne
About
Gasthaus zur Schranne is a beloved traditional tavern tucked into the historic streets of Garmisch‑Partenkirchen. Dating back to 1610, the building has survived wars and renovations to become a warm, Bavarian‑alpine haven where locals and travelers alike gather for hearty seasonal fare and story‑laden conversations. The menu showcases regional ingredients – from tender game meats and local cheeses to freshly baked bread – all prepared with a focus on freshness and seasonal rhythms. Co‑owned by the Edith‑Haberland‑Wagner‑Stiftung, the kitchen has been transformed into a showcase of local craftsmanship, while the partnership with Augustiner‑Brauerei brings authentic Märchen‑style beers straight from barrel to glass. A popular highlight is the adjoining beer garden, which offers sweeping views of the surrounding mountains and an inviting al fresco experience during the summer months. Inside, the tavern’s historic interior – complete with wrought‑iron lamps, wooden beams, and a cozy fireplace – reflects its storied past and adds to the relaxed, family‑friendly atmosphere. Guests can expect an intimate, warm ambiance, attentive service, and an intimate celebration of Bavarian culture, whether they are stopping for a quick lunch, enjoying a late‑night snack, or gathering for a special event. The 20‑person reservation limit for online bookings means that large parties should plan ahead, but for the average diner the tavern remains accessible without a reservation and offers flexible hours throughout the week.
