The best thing about this restaurant is how convenient it is to those staying at the Best Western Imlauer Hotel. We checked into that hotel on Friday, July 20 last summer and checked out on Sunday morning, July 22. We ate both dinners there, one lunch that we shared with old friends from Austria on Saturday, and two breakfasts. Considering how little time we had in Salzburg, the convenience outweighed all other considerations. We had a room on the ground floor. We merely walked out the door to the room, down the hall, and voila! There was the Stieglbrau.
The New Town location was also convenient to entertainment. The night we arrived we ate late and still made it to the Sound of Music performance at the Marionette Theater just down the street within easy walking distance. When we got back from the performance thanks to our umbrellas and walking in the rain, we stopped by the restaurant again to warm up with coffee and hot tea.
