bierstube

Bavarian drinking hall

A bierstube is a German-style beer hall or tavern, typically featuring long communal tables, hearty food, and a selection of German beers.

The word is German, combining *Bier* (beer) and *Stube* (room or parlor).

In English, it usually refers to German-themed drinking establishments: We found a cozy bierstube near the town square.
