IT is the first of its kind in Hampshire.

Stein Garten – a true German bierkeller and restaurant is binging a slice of Munich culture and atmosphere straight onto your doorstep in Hampshire.

This exciting new bar and restaurant had a lively opening last week with music from the Edewiss Bavarian Showband.

The journey began with two great Hollandisch Restaurateurs and a world travelled chef joined forces and embarked on this special project.

Having already worked on various other ventures across the south coast of England, the three musketeers have applied their unrivalled experience and knowledge gained in the running and operating of some of the country’s most successful and independent restaurants and bars on the South coast.

The partners’ vision has been to create the ultimate atmosphere of fantastic traditional Bavarian food and high quality German beers, and thus Stein Garten was born.

The venue- which is at the heart of the city on 47 High Street, is open every day from 12 noon until midnight. The last table can be seated at 10.05pm
