Stammtisch Reservation Terms and Conditions 

All Stammtisch table reservations are subject to the terms and conditions listed below. Terms and conditions are non-negotiable. 

“Stammtisch” loosely translates to a “regular’s table” in English. The tables are traditional wooden beer tables and benches, typically found at restaurants and beer gardens around Germany that can be privately reserved for exclusive use. At the Christkindlmarket, we have 12 festively decorated tables available, which can be reserved individually or together, depending on availability. 

Each table seats 8 individuals and is available in 90-minute time increments. Various reservation options, referred to as “packages” or “experiences”, are available to enhance the reservation. The tables will be decorated and prepared with holiday flair and food is served family-style. The date and time are guaranteed with the confirmed payment of the reservation.  The organizer reserves the right to assign the location of the Stammtisch and table placements within the Grand Timber Haus and this will be given to the party’s host at check-in on the day of the reservation.
