Brauhaus Arcade 22, Sam Nujoma Drive
+264 64 402214 Swakopmund has a distinct German heritage and The Brauhaus restaurant waves the flag high - from the bratwurst to the Weissbier and the jolly atmosphere. If you really want to get the party started at lunch, ask the locals what the game is with the foot long beers… Brauhaus is a popular spot and gets very busy, so try book a table or get there early to be sure of a seat. And remember, it’s closed on Sundays. |
