Recently stopped in here for a date night with the wife. We've been looking for a decent replacement ever since Tacoma lost the Rhein Haus. Since my wife is of German heritage, brats and kraut are a thing in our life. The menu here looked really good, so we stopped in our 29th anniversary. I will say, there is a parking lot across the street. For those who've been in the area for a while and remember past times, it used to be a used car lot Luckily I found an empty spot on the street right out front, so I grabbed it. But yeah, parking in this area can be tricky. Just be aware that there is the lot across the street on Puyallup Avenue, the entrance is from "Court A", which looks like an alley but is technically a road. Tacoma is fun like that. So let's talk food. We ordered the Brätzel, because my wife loves a good soft pretzel with some beer cheese. This one states that it's a beer cheese soup, and it was a bit thinner than a typical beer cheese. But it had a really good flavor. It was not gritty at all like some beer cheese can be (I'm looking at you Hops&Drops). I'm not a huge pretzel fan, but I will say that I tried a portion of it and enjoyed this one. The pretzel had a good flavor and the beer cheese soup was great. We also split the Landjäger / Käse Platte. Let's get one thing clear, this thing is bigger than it looks on the menu. There's a lot here. I'm really not sure exactly which of the four cheese were which. If you go by the description on the Käse Platte then it should be Bavaria Bleu Crème, Raclette, Emmentaler and Butterkäse. The Bleu Crème is easy to spot. The rest look similar really. But each had a unique flavor and all tasted absolutely wonderful. The cured beef and pork sausages were good, but the cheese stole the show here. We also shared the Berliner Platte for a main. Again, I can not stress this enough, there is A LOT of food here. the two of us had no chance of eating all this. This plate comes with the following sausages; Berliner Bratwurst, Smoked Cheese, Spicy Cheese, Chicken Andouille & Bockwurst as well as being served with sauerkraut and you get to pick two sides. We chose the Spätzle and Pommes (fries). All of this was amazing. The spicy sausage and the andouille were too spicy for my wife, but we knew that going in. If you have a group and are wanting to sample the many wursts here, I would highly recommend this plate. Now, let's talk service. I don't remember our server's name, but she was so great. Very friendly, very tentative, very good at her job. This was exactly the kind of service I look for when I go out to a restaurant. I don't want some tablet where I'm interacting with a faceless machine, I don't want a kiosk, I want a real person who engages with us and helps make our experience the best it can be, and this place gets it. The staff here is on point, they are good, they take good care of you and the experience made s want to come back. This place is for sure at the top of our list for German food here in Tacoma. If you have not been, you need to stop by. It's not big, it's not fancy, you'll drive right by it if you aren't paying attention. But this place is by far the perfect replacement for our missing sausage haus. We are so glad we stopped in. read more

My boyfriend and I came here after a comedy show nearby as many places were either closed or would close soon. As we arrived, we weren't sure if needed to seat ourselves but by the time we were about to look at a sign, a kind waitress let us know that we can seat ourselves anywhere and brought us menus. I saw that they had tables with fires which was really cool but unfortunately there were a lot of people sitting there so we just sat at the longer tables. The interior of this place is huge and bright! They have plenty of seating inside and it looks like they do outdoor seating which is dog friendly. We were told that they will have days where they have musicians playing German music and that it attracts quite a large crowd. Our waitress Sara was hilarious, personable and did a great job of taking care of us. She really made the visit all the more memorable and fun! We did order a lot: Berliner Platter with chips and spatzle, Berliner Sliders with fries and a bratzel. We did not realize just how huge the portions were for everything, like the platter was going to be big but we weren't expecting the amount of food for other order. Everything tasted absolutely amazing though! We really enjoyed everything and they do not mess around with flavors cause you taste exactly what they advertised. The house made chips were also fantastic and probably some of the best I've ever had. My boyfriend and I are excited to return and definitely will be sharing this spot to others as we thought we had to drive to Leavenworth for good German food but it is closer to home than we thought! read more

Woo hoo! This place is so fun! Long tables with benches. Pull up a bench and order a beer from their extensive list of - wait for it! German beer and enjoy some great wurst (sausage) options! Wait staff swing by and pull up a bench to get your order and check in on how you are doing . We felt like regulars by the time we left. Boisterous, a wall of steins with names on them for the regulars, lots of screens with all manner of sports. A bit rowdy so don't come for a quiet dinner. Come for a good time! We will be back! read more

This place is good. I've only been here once before, but I need to keep it in my usual snack rotation because the food is bomb. Last week I had been feening for some sliders BAD. Come to find out they had them here, so after a walk on Saturday my husband and I headed over for a beer and snack. Alas, I got my sliders. They were bomb. I will be back asap- & I'm not sharing next time. The ambiance is chill, open and casuals. Service has been awesome both times I stopped in. read more

We went here for lunch with some friends and when we arrived it wasn't very busy so we got right in and the food came out fairly fast! Boy, did they get busy and unfortunately they had staff call out, so the only person working was busting her butt to ensure we were taken care of. They must treat their employees well, and if not, they should. There was a large party in the upper section and one of the guests was actually a staff member, who stepped in to help the other person. Talk about dedication! The food was good, beer equally as exciting and overall a good experience that I was expecting. I really liked my spicy sausage, it had great flavor. I also tried the breakfast corn dogs and that was such a great idea, battering and frying a breakfast sausage! If you are in the area, check it out! read more

Love Berliner! Love being able to sit next to the fire pit. Wings really good!! Only complaint was our last visit and my husband ordered the sliders with fries, and the fries were very cold and had been sitting out. This hasn't been consistent with our other visits, and normally the fries are pretty good. read more

Cane here for a small get together for a birthday and did not know this place existed. The place is spacious and family friendly. I didn't expect so many families with small children dining here. They have a great variety of beers and cocktails. And their pretzel is the BEST! So good! Very large, soften and crunchy at the same time and the cheese that comes with it! So good! Also their deep fried pickles and wings were great! Tried their sausages with a side of fries and we will definitely be back! read more

Berlin Beer Hall is 100% worth the trip--even if it's in a slightly sketchier part of town. Once you're inside, it's all gemütlichkeit. The beer is always fresh, perfectly poured, and yes, you can (and should) get a full liter. We had fast, friendly service, and every single person in our group loved their meal--solid portions, great flavors, no complaints. We happened to come on trivia night and ended up staying for two rounds. It was honestly some of the best-run trivia I've been to--well-structured, clever, and actually challenging in a fun way. This place is such a gem. We'll definitely be back. read more

Potato salad was awful. Not authentic at all . Smashed potato with salt and pepper. Food was not hot enough and flavor needs improvement.

I enjoy going to Berliner beerhall with my husband for good German food and beer! Service has been excellent and we love the atmosphere. Everything Ive had has been good including the burger, schnitzel, sausages and pretzel. My husband enjoys being able to order a stein of beer. I also love all the steins they have decorating the restaurant. We live near the T line and enjoy that we can take it and walk over without worrying about parking. I recommend coming here for good food and vibes! read more

What a great spot! Super cool decor and vibe inside! Variety of seating from picnic benches to large community tables to bar seating. The staff is over the top friendly and personable! Since we don't have any German places near home we went with the biggest option - the Berliner plate! 5 sausages, sauerkraut, toasted bread, radishes and gherkins! Plus a side salad and spatzle! Everything was fantastic!! Definitely enough to feed a group! read more

This place has a great selection of German beers - including some I can't find anywhere else. It is a very cool environment and is warm and comfortable. The service was fantastic too and a good blend of attentive and fun. I ate a gruner salad and ham hock. The ham hock was perfect - crispy, juicy, and the sides are German as can be. I will be back every time I'm in Tacoma. read more

the food here is pretty good. a bit on the saltier side, but if you like that, then maybe it is just at the perfect level. makes for great leftovers, though! hella alcohol, so you should at least try to order one with your dish. not a big fan of beer, so it was just okay to me lol service was actually super duper great. very attentive and ensure that you are topped off at the table whether it be with drinks or food. they make sure that you have something available. not at all pushy if you do not want to order anymore, but still want to hang around. very likable people who know how to make jokes, hehe I like that there are two levels at which you could sit at, including a bar area. very crowded and dim, though, so watch where you are going. I wish that they made it more clear that you could sit on the second floor without reservations because it would seem vacant until someone was brave enough to ask lol...I feel like they should make it clear when seating that you have upstairs as an option, too. make sure you do not trip on your way up, though, because no extra lighting by the stairway read more

1st I have to thank our waitress. She was the bomb. We had about 20 people upstairs. Everything was set amazingly. I still don't know how she did it. No one in my group was disappointed. The food was all amazing. Nothing bad to say. Want to thank all the staff that help deliver the food hot. This is my 4th or 5 time here. Highly recommend. Best time had by all. Thank you Berliner staff especially our waitress. read more

This is a nice truly German beer garden. The food is good. We had a couple hamburgers. They were very tasty. Parking could be a little tough since you've gotta park on the street. The area is a little shady at times so you're better off parking near the beer hall rather than on a side street. It was a good crowd of folks the day I was there. It was trivia night. Everybody was having a lot of fun. I haven't seen a selection of German beer like this in a long time plenty of Pilsner read more

This was a nice, 5 star experience for an early dinner. My wife and I have always wanted to try this place, and a doctor appointment in the area on a late Friday afternoon gave us the opportunity. My wife is German, so she was helpful with this review. The waiter in the Pittsburgh Steeler jersey was friendly and efficient. Nice guy. I had the Berliner IPA and it was smooth! I love being a day drinker! We started with fried pickles. Perfect. The ranch sauce seemed homemade because it had a little lemony to it. We shared a schnitzel with gravy. Big portion. Perfect size for me and my wife to share. Prices are fair. The atmosphere is warm and clean. Stop by! read more

Great place to get some delicious German beer and food. They have a good selection of German beers on tap, wine and mocktails. The dining area is spacious with booths and long tables. We ordered a bunch of food items to go along with our beer. The food: *Brätzel $13- huge soft pretzel baked and glazed with butter. It usually comes with salt sprinkled on but we had requested no salt. It came with beer cheese soup to dip. Thumbs up! *Landjäger/käse plate $18- cubes of 4 different types cheeses, slices of landjager ( cured pieces of sausage), pieces of sourdough bread, small dollop of sauerkraut, small pickles, mustard. We really liked this plate-perfect accompaniment to the drinks. *Schweinshaxe $26- braised ham hock. Super tender and tasty-good sized portion that can be shared. Came with salad too. We really enjoyed our beers and meal here. And we will definitely return! And the staff is amazingly friendly and welcoming. FYI- there's an open air parking lot across the street, on the corner. We came on a Sunday so street parking was easy. read more

A great German style beer hall type pub in Tacoma. Arrived on the weekend before a lunch rush crowd started to come in. Lots of seating available and plenty of tvs to watch sports. Sat at the bar area that surrounded a fire pit and was very comfortable. The food was excellent with a sampler of all types of German sausage and brats. Each had its own unique taste and varying levels of heat/spicy. Lots of different beers to choose from as well all on tap. The staff was very friendly and service was excellent. Would definitely bring friends and family back to this restaurant read more

Atmosphere was 10/10 exceeded my expectations inside due to the usual traffic you see outside, I went in with little expectations. The vibe and cleanliness , Sunday football was A+ my pork Haxle was a little over cooked extremely fried n chewy, I was looking for it to be tender/juicy on inside fried skin on outside to easily chew with the fat that just burst in your mouth . Server was friendly and knew the menu and what the favorites were . Gluwein was also amazing although I usually drink it from a coffee cup instead of wine glass? read more

Finally had the chance to try Berliner Beerhall after hearing rave reviews, it did not disappoint! Berliner Beerhall is right off Pacific in downtown Tacoma, parking can be tough- my only negative. Tons of tables, great for large parties. Fantastic alcohol menu- I opted for a Cab, not huge on beer- but huge selection in giant German mugs. Our table shared the frites with curry ketchup and homemade chips with beer cheese- delicious! For my entree I had the Rahmsnitzel with spatzle- delicious!! Service was fantastic, food was fantastic, great atmosphere! Highly recommend! read more

Undeniable community, good food, generous drinks, and just enough inconvenience to leave me undecided. Throughout the night, servers brought us the wrong drinks and dishes, and tried to bring our food to the wrong table. According to them, the tables got mixed up in their system - when we finally ordered, our server even prefaced that they'd try not to combine it with another table. At the end, our server had to rebuild our order at the table, and for some reason it took a full 3 minutes of them awkwardly standing there repeatedly asking us what we'd ordered as they typed it into their device. The place was also packed and boisterous. It was fun to see the liveliness of a Beerhall with long shared tables, patrons joking with the staff, and plenty of piles of French fries and sausages being brought about. I saw one guy wandering around the restaurant with a full sausage speared on his fork, taking bites as he fraternized. That said, it was incredibly loud. The space is open, so all sound echoes. On a Wednesday night, it also turned out to be Trivia Night, so when the host came on the mic, it got even louder. We were seated on the second level, which was better, but we still struggled to hear each other. Again, I appreciated the community, but the volume got grating pretty quickly. The food was great. I got the Smoked Cheese sausage, which came with a delicious garlic bread bun and sauerkraut, with a heaping portion of French fries on the side. Both of the beers we ordered were high quality we'd expect from a place called "Berliner Beerhall." I'd definitely return for these offerings. read more

What a thrill! I cant say enough about the food. You cant find this food anywhere. My grandparents would have been delighted.

We tried to call and make a reservation for V day. No one called us back. So we went anyway and went earlier before it got busy. Had delightful servers today!! It was taking awhile cause I think they were prepping for a big dinner rush. But we were ok with that. Haha we ended up getting a nice salad for free while we waited. We shared a Cesar yummm! I ordered a Schnitzle and hubby ordered a Shweine Haxen. The skin was sooo perfect and crispy!! Just like in Germany! And very meaty too. Hubby didn't like the sauerkraut much. He likes mine better. It's very American like and sour. Real sauerkraut overseas doesn't have that brine taste. But everything else was great! Pretzel, cocktails, and dinner! Till next time read more

Looking for some German Beer (Bier), Schnitzel, and Bratwurst in Tacoma? Then head over to Berliner Beerhall on Pacific Ave near the Tacoma Dome. They did a great job of replicating the beerhalls you'd find in Germany with long communal tables and a lively environment. I really liked the Jäger Schnitzel, a breaded pork schnitzel with mushroom gravy, served with spätzle and red cabbage. So good. read more

Great service! Beer second only to Germany:) Food was great, I had sausage and sauerkraut which was delish.

I'm so glad Tacoma has another authentic German cuisine restaurant! My friend group and I went here last week for trivia (Wednesdays), and it was so fun! The atmosphere is hip and happening, and the wait staff were all very friendly! I appreciated the appropriate frequency of checking in and the accommodations they made for everyone - they have a detailed allergy menu, too, so you can look up literally everything on the menu). There are so many good looking dishes and cocktails, I'm going to have to make an effort to go back periodically so I can try everything! I had the "German Mac n' Cheese" and it was delicious! I should've got a to-go box because I was uncomfortably full (but sooo worth it ). The tap list is also very plentiful and has some beer for everyone! Overall, very pleased with Berliner! The only thing I wish was better was the parking situation, but that's Downtown Tacoma for you Thanks Berliner! read more

OK hands down (besides the place in Renton), the best German food in the whole of WA. Great Schnitzel, great fries, great pretzels, great beers, awesome cocktails, great service... all around awesome. The atmosphere with the long communal tables, the fire pit is super cool, a bit loud, but industrial cool.

This was my first time at this place. Me and two other friends came for lunch - around 12:30 - and decided to give the beerhall a try. And for the most part, it was pretty good. Food was tasty - sausage could have had a little more to it, but as a base sausage, no complaints and quite nice - and there were plentiful portions. While I didn't drink, one friend did and said that the rose cider really exceeded his expectations. The only two things that I'd say is that it is a little on the slow side, service-wise. I'm not sure if they're understaffed - though they had plenty of people hanging out at the kitchen window - but even at lunch, with less than a quarter of the tables occupied, it could take a little bit to get someone to come over. If you're there for dinner, it might be worse, based on some of the other reviews. Food's worth it if you're not in a hurry, though. The other thing is that it IS a bit pricey for what it is. Sausage, cheese, and bread feels like it shouldn't be quite so high a price per plate (starting at $15 and going up to $28) as it can be, so it's a bit more of a treat place for me. Again, it's good, but not a place I can justify going to very often. With those two caveats in mind, the hall is a comfortable place, well heated, and the staff really are as friendly as you can ask for. read more

Food was great, good selection of German beers. Dodgy area of town worth it for this place.

Six adults and one young child came here for dinner for the first time. Parking is hard to find, but it's on Court A Street. The store is unexpectedly spacious, and there are seats on the first and second floors. We all sat on the first floor with a long table. The staff at the restaurant are pleasant and the service is good. We each ordered our favorite beer. There are so many beverage selections that I can't decide. And we ordered corn dogs, pommese with curry ketchup, weiner schnitzel, rahmschnitzel, mini pork shanks, and jager schnitzel. My husband and I shared a mini pork shanks, and it was a satisfactory amount. The main dish comes with a salad, and the salad is very delicious. There are three mini pork shanks, blackberry and rum, and horseradish glaze is good harmony flavor. Homemade warm potato salad comes with this dish and so good! I don't know how other people's food was, but it seems like they couldn't finish it. I don't know how other people's food was. But it looked delicious. The food is full of volume, so you can share it,too. I will come back here again because the atmosphere of the restaurant is good and there are interesting dishe. read more

Stopped in here for dinner. Inside it's a very beautiful restaurant with picnic tables and a fire pit. Our waitress was great. Looks like just her and the bartender were running the entire show and food and drinks came out fast. We ordered the platter that came with 5 different sausages, 2 sides, sauerkraut, etc. this plate could easily serve 4 people and we had a lot of leftovers. Overall the food was great. I didn't really care for the chicken sausage or the warm potato salad but that was just my preference. Will definitely go again. I want to try the pretzel which I'm glad I didn't order because there is no way we could eat all that. Parking and the neighborhood are a little sketch. read more
