All the hotels around the Stadtpark have high-quality restaurants , while Kronprinz has a cafA©. Tracking down the different local beers can be a time-consuming process. A good selection is offered by the StadtschA¤nke in the Burg, but most other restaurants remain loyal to a particular label. The MA¶nchshof BrA¤uhaus, in the same complex as the Brauereimuseum, has a huge beer garden and serves the full range of MA¶nchshof and Kapuziner products; these are also available in the town centre at the StadtschA¤nke , Holzmarkt 3, which has different themed-lunch menus each day. Kulmbacher beers are served at Anno , a bistro at Marktplatz 4; EKU beers at Zunftstube , Obere Stadt 4, and the pizzeria EKU-FA¤ssle , Sutte 18. No local beer tour is complete without a visit to Kulmbacher KommunbrA¤u , GrA?nwehr 17, the town's only Hausbrauerei: it makes light and amber brews and serves hearty local dishes. Altogether different in style is a trendy French-style brasserie, Alte Feuerwache , Grabenstr. 4.

Special strong brews are served in litre measures in a huge tent set up beside the Stadthalle for the duration of the main local festival , the nine-day-long Kulmbacher Bierfest , which begins on the last Saturday of July. At the beginning of the same month is an annual folklore event, the Altstadtfest , while in the second week of August in odd-numbered years tin-figure enthusiasts descend on the town for the Zinnfiguren-BA¶rse .
