Strebeck's Beer Hall
Strebeck’s Beer Hall is an Eastern District institution. Hundreds of Freeporters drink and eat there every day, as they’ve done for the past century. While the place has always been popular, the introduction over 5 years ago of a new beer, Battleaxe Brew, ensured its tables would be crowded almost every night since.
Strebeck’s Beer Hall is a large brick building next to the East Gate of The Old City. It has two main sections: a three-story brewery and the beer hall proper. The brewing process starts on the top floor of the brewery and proceeds in stages down through the building until the finished barrels are deposited in the deep, cool beer cellar. The beer hall is only one story, but has a very high, vaulted ceiling. It has three public rooms—a main taproom and two smaller rooms—that are sometimes rented for private functions. All of them are crammed with pine tables and chairs; a kitchen and several storerooms are also found in the back of the building. All told, the beer hall can seat 400 customers.
