A lovely authentic place, don’t expect anything extraordinary or fancy just a cute place with cheap options and free wifi. The staff were nice and friendly. We came just for the drinks. Reminded me the bars from 80s for some reason

Lokale wie das Cafe Gärtner muss man schon suchen. Es gibt kaum noch Beisln. Das Gärtner ist authentisch und die Inhaber sehr sympathisch. Die Einrichtung ist irgendwie 80er, Dartautomat, Zigarettenautomat, flat screen, angstmachende Zimmerpflanzen, alles da! Die Lage am Karmelitermarkt ist hervorragend, das Lokal blickt nach Osten, da gibt es im Sommer auch schön Schatten. Kommt in‘s Gärtner, helft mit, dass es nicht stirbt!

Gute Stube mit super Schanigarten, mit vollem Blick auf was sich abspielt am Karmelitermarkt - und das ist viel! Die Zeltkonstruktion über dem Schanigarten: Absolut wetterfest. Mit Regenrinne! Super Kellnerin mit super Schmäh, fesch, flink und schnell! Dart auf höchstem Niveau im Gegensatz zu den Preisen. Leistbar. Wie vor 10 Jahren.

Schönes lokal mit großem Biergarten und herrlichsten Blick auf den Markt. Hier wird Spaß noch groß geschrieben, mit umgedrehten Speisen und bester Bedienung auch an regnerischen Tagen!
