The Galgenhölzle has been a part of Überlingen life for over 30 years. For some, it is a cozy Irish pub, for others a daytime café for a comfortable cappuccino, a beer bar with a wide selection, a smoking area (non-smoking area in the adjacent room), a venue for live music, dance evenings with a DJ ('Zappeln im Galgen'), and fixed points in the Überlingen year such as the village breakfast during Carnival or Christmas jazz in Advent. It is a local pub, home to the indispensable 'Croque Monsieur', the cult pub on Lake Constance, an offline chat room with free Wi-Fi, a second living room, and a traditional meeting place for returning expatriates from Überlingen.
