Although the vaulted basement rooms are very attractive, the big draw at this underground bar is the German beer. There are seven on draught, plus more than a score by the bottle; among them is Paulaner Hefe-Weizen, a wonderful wheat beer, alongside a comprehensive selection of weissbiers and dunkels, kölsch beers, dark lagers, pilsners and more.
The other sides to Katzenjammers’ character hold less appeal: the service can be slow; the food would shame an autobahn truck-stop (unattractively orange sauerkraut, spätzle no better than a packet version); and as for the music, which might include an oompah band playing ‘Wonderwall’, the less said the better.
Inevitably, the room can get rowdy with a clientele keen on recreating Oktoberfest for the other 11 months of the year. But the beers alone make it worth considering.
