German term or phrase: Dorfkeller
It appears in the list of facilities offered at a hotel complex in Austria. I'm afraid this is the only context. I assume it is some kind of restaurant or dining place, but I can't find an English equivalent.

Explanation:
This is an often-used name for some sort of hostelry, so I would suggest leaving it in GER and qualifying it as above.

The idea is that people from the village can come to this pub too. Whether they serve food there I wouldn't know. As Helen suggested Dorfkeller pub would be a good solution, however the idea of Keller and the Austrian/German Gemütlichkeit gets lost...decide for yourself if it's really important to include the idea of cellar or basement...

You could perhaps also call it "bodega-style" pub...Bodega is often used for "Weinkeller", although I am sure they do serve beer there, too. So bodega-style pub my also be a solution.
