Stein's Kingston

You'll find yourself on the High Street with a beer in hand and a plate of schnitzel that's been done right—crispy exterior, juicy inside, none of that sad breaded nonsense. Stein's has that convivial German beer hall energy without feeling like a theme park, with enough locals and visitors mixing to make it feel genuinely buzzy. The menu's straightforward: excellent sausages, proper potato salads, the kind of food that makes sense with a cold one. It's become the sort of place Kingstonians actually return to, not just pass through.
