Glöckl Bräu is a Styrian inn in the old town of Graz, on Glockenspielplatz, that takes company parties, birthdays and graduation celebrations for up to 50 people in separate vaulted and panelled rooms. Rooms seat 10 to 45, and a whole room can be booked for exclusive use against a minimum spend.
Seminars and company events
The inn presents itself as a place for company parties and group celebrations rather than for conferences. The site names company parties (Firmenfeiern), birthdays, graduation celebrations (Sponsionsfeiern) and gatherings of friends as the usual events, with the event capacity set at up to 50 people. It is a fit for a team dinner, a year-end party or a client meal in a relaxed Styrian setting.
For a working session in the evening or at midday, the Gerstenboden on the first floor is the one room the site describes as multimedia-equipped, with room for 35. The site does not list equipment further, so organisers should ask what is installed before planning a presentation.
Rooms and capacities
All figures come from the rooms page of the official site.
Ackerstüberl: next to the bar area on the first floor, up to 10 people.

Booking and exclusive use
Rooms can be viewed before choosing, and reservations and information go through the deputy managing director and two restaurant managers named on the site, by email or telephone. A room reserved for an event alone requires a minimum spend. The site does not state the amount, so organisers should ask when they enquire.
Catering
The kitchen serves Styrian and Bavarian dishes in a rustic setting, with a menu and a lunch plate listed on the site. The inn is open every day from 10:30 to 23:00, with the kitchen from 11:00 to 22:00. The site does not describe set menus or buffets for groups, so the format of a group meal is agreed with the restaurant managers.
History and setting
The house in the old town dates from the 17th century. It was fully renovated in 2001, and the two lower floors were fitted for modern catering. The facade leads into a covered inner courtyard, which forms the centre of the inn together with the bar. On the first floor, the vaulted rooms give the venue its atmosphere.
Getting there
The address is Glockenspielplatz 2-3, 8010 Graz, in the middle of the old town. The site gives no further access details.
