Schallmauer — Rostocks Fliegerkneipe

Schallmauer — Rostocks Fliegerkneipe is a bar with character, located at Doberaner Str. 20 in Rostock (18057), Germany. The venue markets itself as “Rostocks urige Fliegerkneipe” — a cosy, rustic pilot-and-plane themed pub. The story begins with two former Luftwaffe pilots, Bernd Pfähler (ex MiG-29) and Olaf Hurrelbrink (also 20 years service), who dreamed of creating a bar steeped in aviation atmosphere. They teamed up with Sven Rathjens (an attorney) and launched the venue built around their passion for flying. Walking into Schallmauer you’ll notice hundreds of aircraft models, flight-parts, memorabilia and a visible “Heinkelmauer” (Heinkel wall) that speaks to Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania’s aviation heritage. The space is well suited for those who enjoy bar food, plenty of drink options and a no-pretence environment. The drinks list includes more than 10 beer taps (featuring Rostocker Pils, Zwickel, Dunkel), a range of bottled beers (Jever, Corona, Mahn + Ohlerich), numerous whiskey, rum and gin brands, and also cocktails such as the “Afterburner”, “Flying Hirsch” and more. Food-wise: from snacks like chili, sandwiches and chicken wings (noted to be among the city’s best) to hot-dogs, burgers and currywurst served during kitchen hours (Wed-Sat 18-22 h) from local ingredients. The atmosphere is described by visitors as a vibrant mix of biker-/pilot-culture décor, lively evenings with DJ or live-band events, and a strong communal vibe. On weekends it can get busy; arriving earlier is wise if you want a seat. In summary: if you’re looking for something off the beaten path in Rostock, with aviation flair, good beer, hearty bar food and late hours, this is the place. It’s not ultra-luxury or super-quiet; rather it delivers energy, character and fun.
