Balkon
Afterwork place
Where today the bar of the “living room with a view” is located, was once the Nuremberg “Milchhäusle”. Where once milk & cream were on tap, now flows freshly-tapped Franconian beer, select schnapps and quaffable wines.
Since 2011, the best alcoholic beverages from Franconia and the region are served at the Balkon: Nikl and Reh Bräu beer on tap, a changing selection of regional bottled beers, Franconian Silvaner and Pinot grigio and schnapps …
Most of the space that today serves as the beer garden was once used as the entryway. Space is at a premium. That creates a wonderful and untypical dynamic in Franconia: “One is forced to sit at a table with strangers. This takes the typical Franconia grouch out of their comfort zone but produces amazingly interesting groups!” grins owner Mirko Könicke. “I like to sit down somewhere without asking and have a drink – it’s almost a requirement!”

In den Anfangsjahren standen die zwei Inhaber noch täglich selbst am Zapfhahn. Inzwischen hat sich der Balkon in Nürnberg fest etabliert, neben 3 Festangestellten kümmern sich 10 Aushilfen um den Ausschank. Obwohl sich die beiden inzwischen hauptsächlich um Themen im Hintergrund kümmern, sind sie trotzdem täglich vor Ort und lassen es sich nicht nehmen, das ein oder andere Bier auch noch selbst zu zapfen.
