Food was good but the beer was great. Had a 34 ounce Kolsch appear at my table before the server even walked away! Lauren our server did a phenomenal job and provided a wonderful guide to ordering along with excellent menu descriptions! Thank you for being the best place to have a chill Thursday night! read more

I've made a few stops here and make it a point when i'm in Pensacola to drop in. Best German Beer selection i've seen at a restaurant so far. The Beer Menu is Stacked! you can't go wrong with a tall Hofbrau Hefeweizen ever. Last visit my party got the Brat Sampler, Kids Chicken Schnitzel, Spatzel, and a Giant Brezel. Despite its size the Brezel never stood a chance. The Currywurst was next to fall. In the end only the Spatzel remained, but not much. A solid go to for dinner or a hang out in Downtown Pensacola. read more

Food was excellent. Pizza was large and well cooked. Toppings were great (even though I don't like cubed ham on pizzas, I prefer the thin sliced Canadian style ham). Schnitzel was good with the sauce on top, it would've been really plain otherwise. Our waitress was not happy to be there. It was kinda funny to us. She took care of what we needed, but she was very quick and I don't know if we saw her smile the whole night. Didn't ruin the meal for us though. Front of house staff were very friendly and helpful. Would come back again if I visit Pensacola again. read more

As someone born in Germany, I was really excited to try this restaurant, and it did not disappoint! First - everyone was so nice!!' . The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere: German . The owner, who served our potato pancakes took time to chat with us. And yes- even though they are not like our German grandma's- they were so good!! I had the Currywurst, and my husband ordered the Jägerschnitzel. Both were so good, and brought back memories of Germany. The place was packed around 6pm - and we were glad that we arrived right before the big rush! We had an amazing evening and will definitely return when we're in the Pensacola area. Prost! read more

We had a fun dinner experience here! The decor and vibes in here are a nice touch. The team was hustling too! It was a busy night on Palafox when we came in and they handled the rush with grace and ease. We started off with the giant pretzel and that was great. The cheese sauce was incredible as well. For my main, I ordered the Reuben and it was only okay, not too much to write home about. They chopped the meat on the sandwich, which was odd and contributed to less than awesome sandwich. The beers were fine, but if you don't like German/Belgian beers, you'll be disappointed. This is a cool spot, we'll probably come back and I'll order something different. read more

Food was so-so, not bad but not as German as I would have liked it. I grew up in Germany, so I know what the cuisine is like. BUT, THAT PRETZEL!!! OMG, large and definately Bavarian. That was all I ate. I tested some of my husbands' food, that is how I know about the other. The atmosphere was nice(even for the middle of the day) and decor is nice as well. The server was very knowledgeable and what she wasn't sure of, she asked and returned to our table with the info we needed to make a better selection. Overall, good experience; I would return solely for the pretzel. read more

I've been here twice now. The drinks are pretty good and I think fairly priced. Service is friendly, but seems a little slow . 1st time I had wings and bruschetta. The wings were very good! The bruschetta was just okay. It was more deconstructed. 2nd time around we ordered the Hawaiian pizza. It was just okay for me. I think I was expecting to be wowed. It was just flat. Fresh, hot, and the crust was nice.. it was just missing a zing. I think we will visit again, but not order the Hawaiian pizza again! read more

Excellent atmosphere great friendly service! Wonderful food! Definitely recommend! We will be back

Bavaria is our go to spot for great German beers and their giant pretzel, but for some reason we don't often stay for dinner and that's a mistake. The beer and the pretzel are top notch but don't sleep on the dinner entrees because they are fantastic! For dinner, on our last visit we had the Nurnburger plate, Rahmschnitzel, and the Garlic Parm Chicken spätzle. All three were delicious and extremely filling with sausages and schnitzel delivering authentic with the spätzle providing a huge, mouthwatering flavor profile. The service was fantastic and the atmosphere is a blend of Bavaria with NW Florida charm. I highly recommend a visit in the near future. read more

This little restaurant fills the air with deliciousness & it feels like home. Every time we dine here we are greeted & treated like family. We would like to thank Lauren for her hospitality while dinning. If you have not tried this amazing food you should. You will be torn between pizza or German food but it's ok you can have both. We order the Dieci Special we remove the sausage and add prosciutto, balsamic glaze, garlic oil with truffle oil. With Fall they have a Pumpkin Strudel which my husband had to have so naturally I got the chocolate cake which is so delicious. Thank You Bavaria read more

A little stop for some food after taking around. Server seemed a little occupied with something else and was not as attentive as we thought she should be. Great German beers on tap. The food was alright. Wife loved the caprese sandwich. The sausage and Schnitzel was a little lacking overall a good place to stop. PS looks like it would be a great Saturday night drinking spot. read more

1-30-26 5:30 reservation for 2.. First let state that I was in Germany for about 4 years plus numerous trips after that. I am strict!! Ambiance - Very nice German influence and interesting decor. I enjoyed it. Service - Waitresses were dressed in authentic Bavarian style dresses. Very pleasant, helpful, efficient, & polite young lady. Food - Jagerschnitzel....Very large pork schnitzel it was ok,red cabbage a bit too sweet & spatzel was pretty good. Comparing these to how they were always prepared in Germany not really up to power. Sourkraut was was to sour (American way) in Germany they always added white wine to it so it was more flavorful. This was not. German potatoe salad was good but to much vinegar wine taste. I liked it but it didn't taste like it was prepared in Germany. French Onion Soup....very tasty and pleasing. Black coffee....full flavored and delicious. Enjoyed our dinners but it was not like being in Germany Their menu was extensive varieties of Germany food & bratwursts and wide selection of German draft beers. Next time I plan to try the bratwursts. read more

After living in Germany, I was excited to try this authentic german restaurant in Pensacola. It did not disappoint! There is tons of seating, so we didn't have to wait even though it was pretty busy. Our waiter was nice and knowledgeable. We started with some big german beers and the giant pretzel. So good!! The brussel sprouts were also delicious. We tried a few pizzas and other entrees. The front part of the restaurant was a little loud, but the back seating by the pizza oven is better. Definitley recommend! read more

We were sad to find out that this was the vegetarian pizza (no cheese upon my request). Barely any veggies at all, paper thin, crust was chewy/ hard, and worst of all - had a really weird after taste... like burnt and chemically! We heard that this was the best pizza place in town so we're super bummed it didn't work out. Spent a pretty good amount on it too... read more

I LOVE Bavaria. There isn't anything on the menu I won't eat. The peach bourbon chicken wings, Atlantic Salmon and Jagerschnitzel are just a few of my favorites. They also have amazing pizza. The have food for all palates. The staff is always friendly and remember your name after you've come a few times. The German ambience is very authentic and the archway with lights is eye catching. The have a great selection of German beer and amazing cocktails. They even wear drindls and lederhosen on Fri and Sat. I even had my daughter's graduation dinner here. read more

We venture to Bavaria about once a year as a special treat. On this visit I enjoyed the sausage plate. Each sausage was prepared well and the sides were amazing. This is one of favorite places to have sausages in town and I highly recommend. The service is great and the food is always prepared for your order. Do not expect your meal super fast, but do expect it to be freshly prepared. The inside has a nice feel with lots of memorabilia from Germany that spark a German feel if you have ever been in Germany. Of course they have a great beer selection, I recommend every beer they have. read more

Came here with a friend one evening when I was visiting my hometown for a week. It occupies the space of my old favorite pizza spot. So I had high hopes, the vibes of my old friend were with me. The interior was very wide open and welcoming. The back rooms also moonlight as a pizza parlor? I wasn't sure, but they definitely do both, so the whole décor scheme seemed to be old world Europe. I liked it. Anyway, we got seated and were greeted by our very friendly server. He was very attentive for the whole night. I loved him. Forgot his name, though. That's my fatal flaw. As for food, I ordered the basic Jagerschnitzel (breaded pork schnitzel with mushroom gravy and mashed potatoes). It was just lovely. The schnitzel was huge and just thick enough to get some good pork flavor out of it. Some schnitzel is just pounded so flat. The gravy was very mushroomy and added a nice umami to it. It made for a very heavy meal, and the mash didn't add any relief from that, but this was just that kind of meal, and I loved and needed it. Arguably the best German meal I've ever had in a restaurant. I'll have to come back soon to confirm that thought. read more

Blah. This was anticlimactic. We went two times. TIME #1: We caught them as they were closing early. They mentioned we could order pizza as apparently this restaurant shares space with a pizza joint. We declined and chose to return another day. TIME #2: We returned the following night and were attended by Natalie (at least I think that was her name). She was very nice. Don't have complaints about the service. But in terms of food and drink, oh wow - I haven't had a disappointment like this in a while. My companion had beer and I had some fruity drink. Maybe a cider? I forget which, but it wasn't the original one I wanted as they were out of it. No matter - it still hit the spot. Now the food was just TOO MUCH. I think they were trying to feed a family. Not to mention too that at least for my schnitzel, the mushroom cream was heavy. But you know without it, the schnitzel was bland. I *so* wish we had an idea about the sizes here. My companion who has a hefty appetite could not finish his meal. Worse still, the food was nothing to rave about and it made no sense to take leftovers back to the hotel and that's with having a microwave. Sigh - when all is said and done, let's just say I understand why they closed early that first night. The food here leaves much to be desired and German food is pretty nichey. This is one of those things that needs to be done right and sadly they still have kinks to work out. read more

Bavaria Pensacola - View into the bar from the pizza bar - German Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

I've eaten at Bavaria several times now and I have yet to have a meal that I did not enjoy! The flavors are second to none Evan's the portions are absolutely on point. They definitely have some of the best pizza in Pensacola. Not to mention the very well stocked bar and beer selection. The staff are good people who are always friendly with the best smiles and conversation. They always have a recommendation that is perfect for the occasion. My only issue is with the bench seating at some of the tables. Not comfortable at all. However the overall decor of the restaurant is very "Bavarian." We are already regulars and I don't see that changing in the near future. One last thing and this is important...everything is priced right!!! read more

They are trying for a traditional German beer garden / restaurant. It works in some ways while in others it fails. The site is two restaurants together - a German and an Italian pizzeria. You can tell they are short wait staff, we were slow getting to a table. Then the waitress was slow to get to us. She did keep my tea glass full and made wonderful recommendations for our meal, beer and dessert. We both had the Nurnberger plate. Now I'm not an expert on German food but those sausages and spicy mustard was great. The sauerkraut was great. Definitely not from a can. The mash potatoes were fresh, they had some lumps. This would be a go to plate but there so many other interesting things on their menu I want to try! I will be going back. read more

We were looking for a place for a late dinner that we would enjoy. We came across this place, looked at reviews, looked at the menu, and decided to give it a try. We were looking forward to some schnitzel or spätzle and a variety of sausages. Well... we arrived around 9:20 and the host informed us that we would have to order from the late night menu, which doesn't include the Bavarian entrees or dishes we were most looking forward to... instead we would be able to order appetizers, soups, salads, and sandwiches, as well as pizza. I ordered the bratwurst sandwiches and my wife had pizza. The food and the service was good. Since this spot closes at midnight, it would be nice if they could keep the full menu available until 10 pm. It was truly a fun European vibe, very Bavarian or German.... We love towns along the Danube and this was kind of reminiscent of visiting that area. It's definitely worth a visit. read more
