While nothing about this place is horrible, I'm simply nonplussed by this place. Maybe it is just my luck, but every time I order, they just happen to be out of the first pick or two. there are much better beer places out there......Cest What, Cafe Volo, and Beer Bistro come to mind. Kind of large and impersonal, but at the same token, if you are a bit early - you can get a large group in here and still sit together. Clientele...well maybe it's just me, but they seem like every person I've spent my life avoiding. Food: expensive and ok. The fries are good. But fries are good everywhere.. read more

Can't comment on the food; we were never served. At the door we were asked if we want to make reservations. I said no, but could we come in now to eat. The hostess seemed to have never been asked this question. She found us a table but said we would need to be gone in 75min...which was fine because we only had 45min. We waited for at least 12 min...NO ONE CAME TO TAKE OUR ORDER. We left and went elsewhere. read more

Oh Canada. You are hilarious. You and your state sanctioned beer stores. Alas, I was taken here by my dear friends, who are Canadian. I loved the vast selection of beer, the oodles of good and delicious food (oysters in Toronto? why yes...yes they are good). Oh Mac and Cheese, you are good. Oh beer. Anyway, I like your bier. read more

Been here many times, and it always gives me very mixed feelings. In some ways each night out there is a battle between great beer and all the really poor aspects. The good: - Great beer list - Really great beer list The poor: - Staff are generally not knowledgeable or interested in your order - I've many times been given wrong information, been poorly served (e.g. no glasswear provided for a strong, darker beer with foil covering), or not served at all (waiting 15 minutes at the bar to get an order in) - Atmosphere completely contrasts with the drinks menu - feels/sounds much more like a downscale meat market than somewhere to appreciate the variety of beer on the menu - Bouncers are, in general, giant jerks I might add that my poor impressions aren't based on one bad night out - I have been here numerous times, although rarely go anymore. Bottom line is that if you're going out with a large group and want a club-like atmosphere, it could be good. If you're looking for somewhere to try a lot of beers and have a conversation, stay away and go to BeerBistro, Volo, C'est What or Smokeless Joe's instead. read more

Don't go to the Bier Markt. They are bullshit when it comes to bringing in innocent cupcakes to celebrate someone's birthday. They went as far as saying that we may "poison people" around us with the cupcakes. The GM guarded us at the entrance making sure NOTHING comes in. We were forced to go outside to eat. What's stopping me from giving these cupcakes to the people in line? The management would keep coming back to our table to make sure we weren't sneaking in any cupcakes. Their service is so slow. Their menu's gone down hill and they FORCE you to choose from fixed menus if you have a party size of 15+. I originally booked for 20 but since the pre-fixed menus were garbage I was forced to reduce my invites to eat from their normal menu. They would try and squeeze in my group so they can accommodate other. If you do go, go for the beer but not for the food. If you can, pass this on to all the people you can. I'm super bitter about their bullshit and want to bring them down. read more

I went with a couple of my friends on a Saturday evening. We decided to wait in line seeing as there weren't that many people ahead of us. The security guy came up to us and informed us that there was a dress code and that we couldn't enter since me and one of my other friends were wearing a t-shirt. His exact words were, "collared shirts only". We decided to go to Scotland Yard next door. As we left the line I saw 3 gentlemen wearing t-shirts, one of them even in flip flops. After we left Scotland Yard (a place I strongly recommend), the line had grown substantially longer. I made it a priority to count how many individuals were in t-shirts; from the people I saw, there were 16 of them. I don't make things about race ever, I usually think it's weak, but out of the friends I was with the two of us who were in t-shirts were dark skinned Tamil men. All the individuals in t-shirts were either Caucasian or Asian. Further more, I mentioned this story to a friend of mine. He knows a person who works in Bier Markt and he mentioned that it's common practice for them to turn away groups of coloured men because "they probably won't pay their tab". I should mention that this was nothing more than hearsay, but after my experience I can't help but believe that it's true. read more

I just don't like it here. It could be partially the douchey clientele, so if you like douches then please don't let my review discourage you from visiting here. The food here is touted as gastropub fare but I really find it quite overpriced. It is decent..but $16 for 3 sliders seems a bit exorbitant to me. They do have a decent patio and it's a bit of fun during the day. Evening the hordes arrive and it's mostly a younger meat markety type crowd, nothing unusual for the Esplanade. Of course, there is an amazing selection of beers. read more

I was co-organizing a social event for work, and given that work socials and alcohol seem to pair so perfectly together, Bier Markt appeared to be the perfect venue! (Okay, I lied. My first choice was Beer Bistro but they don't take reservations for groups over 8 and only offer their private room which has a $600 spending minimum. Take note, fellow work social organizers.) In desperation, I turned to my second option, Bier Markt, and overall was very pleased with my experience here tonight. I called on a Wednesday afternoon to make a reservation for 6:30pm on Friday night for a group of 15. They were able to accommodate my request, albeit with a few rules: (1) Everyone must be charged on the same bill - no "separate bill" stuff happening. (2) Automatic 15% gratuity. (3) 15 minute grace period - after that, your table is up for grabs. Ack! I hate rules, but at least they tell you all this up front so you can avoid any headaches later on. I arrived on time but the rest of my party was running late. At 6:30 on a Friday night, it was already quite busy. I hovered anxiously by the door tapping my fingernails until they finally showed up 20 minutes later - thankfully no threats were made in terms of losing my reservation. We were seated at one of the long, picnic-style tables, which I loved...after all, what better way is there to get to know your coworkers than sidling up right beside them and drinking beer? Our server was friendly, attentive and efficient, taking orders quickly, and bread was brought to the table some time later. In typical female fashion, I didn't even have to look at the beer menu before ordering the Fruli (YUM!!!), which was light and fruity and really hit the spot. I would say most beers average around $6-$9 each. As others have mentioned, extensive selection. You can also order a tasting selection of 6 beers for around $20, and they offer beer cocktails and the like as well. I wasn't hungry (only hungry for BEER) and didn't order anything to eat, so I can't speak much to the food menu, although others in my party who ate here seemed to be fairly satisfied. The atmosphere is a bit dark and dingy, but the combination of the words "bier" (translation: beer) and "markt" (translation: market) don't exactly conjure images of clean, airy spaces filled with rainbows and butterflies. Yes, it is also loud, and yes, there is a chance you may see drunken men standing up on chairs and start singing loudly. But hey, if the company is good and the beer is good, what more could you really ask for? read more

If you just got off a plane and fought Customs and Immigration for 4.5 hrs, this would be the ideal place for you. If you worked from 8pm to 6am right after that ordeal this place is for you. I rolled out of bed the next morning across the street after a late checkout and rolled across the street to the Bier Markt. Brain was fried after making decisions until the crack of dawn. Came here twice. Day one: Charcuterie and the brisket poutine. Charcuterie is perfect for snacking. An excellent selection of four meats with delicious bread, and spreads. The poutine with brisket mixed into it was a win in my book. A brilliant idea. Day two: A honkin juicy steak with frites. I tore through that like it was my last meal on earth. Cooked medium rare to perfection. Just slipped down. Onto the beer! They have a versed bible of beer from around the planet. A number of Canadian and Belgian beer on tap. Leffe dark is even better on draught. Had a few good Canadian pils also. Tackle the beer on tap if you do not feel like navigating through the book. Our server the first day was great. Ours on the second was even more rad! She was the best! It was my bday and she found me some cake :) I would go back just to drink more beer with her. These were expensive lunches. If you come to snack and drink a ton with friends it should not be too bad. read more

Not too many options for food on the menu. I usually order the flatbread which is good enough for me. Love the drinks here, obviously. Last time I came here they had a live band, which was pretty good. The service here is impressive. Impressive since the waiter remembered what each and every person ordered, and there were about 15 of us moving around all over the table. He's good. Overall, this place is good for beers and music, and socializing. Sometimes I am bored here... but maybe that's cause I'm just getting too old for it. lol. 3/5, food menu could be better. And the venue itself is not the most upscale. But good beer. Derek read more

Amazing food and service. Santiago was the best and so helpful with great recommendations for our group.

Welcome to planet Jupiler...no, not Jupiter...don't be silly. JUP-I-LER is a tasty beer that they have on tap at this joint. It was sooo good that I had to return for another on the following afternoon. (It wasn't too far out of the way since our hotel was right across the Esplanade). I looked for more Jupiler to bring home but didn't see it in any of the Toronto beer shops (by the way....buying alcohol in Toronto on Easter Weekend is NO easy process thanks to the LCBO). FOOD: - Scallops and Prawns. OK, but not amazing, very overcooked and over spiced. - Belgian Cobb Salad w/ rare beef filet. The concept / presentation was neat, but the overall taste did not match. I found it rather plain, perhaps it was the Belgian endive that threw the combo off. ATMOSPHERE: Well done on the inside, but a bit vanilla for my tastes. Its ironic saying this as a visitor but the place seemed a bit 'touristy'. Wednesday was 'vinyl nite' so a large painting on the far wall slides away to reveal a DJ that plays blaring music while you eat. Some of the music selections where good, but most where not to my taste. I don't believe I saw the 'DJ' actually use any vinyl, but I could be wrong since I was knee deep in Jupiler by the time he took to the 'stage'! read more

Bier Markt. I find myself here far more often than I would like thanks to friends that like sticking within their regular routine hang outs. Beer is good and the beer is good but that's about it. Decor is okay, it looks like they tried to make a pub fancier than it should and that, my friends, is the wrong way to do a bier centric pub. Even the food looks very frou-frou. White table cloths and small plates. Portions are dismal considering the prices you are paying. Waitstaff and bar staff are pretty bad too. Either rude and don't want to give you the time of day, too flustered with how busy the place is, unfriendly, know nothing about the beer, or all of these traits rolled into one! Knowing nothing about beer should not be acceptable in a place called Bier Markt! Come on guys, you could do better. Luckily I know a few world beers and the beer selection here is great. Prices are decent especially since you can't get these beers on draight anywhere else. Overall, drink lots because you're gonna need it to have a good time and to ignore the poor quality staff, food, and decor. At least the beer is good though. Actually it's fucking delicious. read more

Hit & miss, but mostly hit. The place itself is awesome for grabbing a beer after work with buddies or just chilling out over a pint on a Friday or Saturday night. Their beer selection is top notch - you name it they probably have it, including Delirium Tremens which I can't get in London. The food is mostly good - I had a very interesting version of mushroom soup. I was expecting the creamy kind, but I got a clear broth with mushroom chunks in it - delicious. The poutine I had, however, was not so hot. I like my poutine simple (I think the curds really make the dish), and it was a little too "fancy" for my liking - the cheese was too salty & strong. Overall, I would certainly recommend this place for a relaxing meal/pint. read more

I'll keep this short and sweet - food and beer is awesome, service is nonexistent. I got the oysters and a blonde beer and it was all delicious and fresh but getting a server's attention was difficult. We also ordered a Swedish cocktail which was garnished with Swedish berry candy but we got the cocktail and it didn't have any of the candies that we were looking forward to. When we asked the waitress why we didn't get any and she told us after serving it to us that they were all out of stock. As a server she needs to inform us before we receive it and ask if we'd like something else or at least make some kind of attempt to make it up to the customer (discount, substitution etc). Overall, good food and beers, nice patio in a lovely area, but pretty lousy service. read more

Bier Markt - Oysters - Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Soooo,,, this place Sucks. Period .... From the smelly bathrooms, to the bad food, and the food poisoning that awaits you the next day... the dizzy wizzy wait staff, What's up with the menu , seriously.... there are 5 items on it and they all suck... They brought us some flat bread creation ,,, it was burnt the first time around , and uncooked the second time... the only good thing about this place is the Beer,,, ok I get it ,,, the Bier Market,,, but arent you supposed to serve your BIER in a Smell free atmosphere, with half decent wait staff and food that is cooked properly ? and while you're at it ,,, expand that menu! ... oh yeah,,, and the crowd sucks,,, but then again maybe I expect too much ! read more

We LOVED the Esplanade Bier Markt! I found it by looking over travel sites before we left for our trip to Toronto and was so happy that we stopped here. We came in on a cold Tuesday afternoon and the place was pretty quiet. We just got a few beers before the Jays game, so I can't comment on the food, but the beer selection was awesome. I was really impressed with the amount of beers they had on tap and was happy to get to try some Canadian brews that are not available in my area. The bartenders were really nice (like everyone we met in Toronto) and it was fun talking to them while we hung out. I can't wait to come back here the next time I am in Toronto! read more

From the other reviews it sounds like the Bier Markt (once known to me as the Miet Markt) is still going strong on the Friday and Saturday nights with live music, great beer selection and a party hardy attitude. And yes, a few years ago that was me and my friends shivering in line on the sidewalk as we dutifully waited to get inside. Flash forward to now and I enjoy the Bier Markt for its beer savvy wait staff, beer menu, pleasant ambiance in the front dining area, and reliable food. The menu names are a bit gimmicky with the umlauts and Frenglish -- it feels like shopping at the Belgium food equivalent of Ikea and the prices are just a tiny bit on the high side considering many of the dishes are quite simple and do-able at home. Tonight I had the beet salad with goat cheese, candied walnuts, spinach, panko-crusted soft boiled egg and topped with a flat-iron steak for $18 - see what I mean, I should've gone for something fancier like my husband who had the prawns and scallop on risotto cake ($29) and the Markt Poutine which features shredded smoked chicken ($12) both really flavourful and I wanted more than the forkful I got to taste. My sister-in-law enjoyed her sea bass and father-in-law was very happy with the filet-burger. They didn't have my first choice of beer available so our server suggested the Leffe Blonde which went really well with the Wurst Sampler app ($17 for six tasty stubby smoky sausages, some gerkins and olives and a wedge of smoky cheese) but for some reason, even though it was in the list of recommended beers for my salad, it started to taste skunky. Maybe it was the beets or the dressing that started clashing with the beer. Maybe I should have said something to the server. Dessert was off the seasonal menu and were apple fritters - little timbit sized delights freshly deep fried and tossed in cinnamon and sugar ($8). This entire review is timely considering last night (Saturday) I was hanging out at home reading the recent Yelp "you know you're old when" talk thread and here I am talking about going to the Bier Markt to eat (ha!) on a Sunday (haha!). read more

easy night out, somewhat young crowd, little rowdy at times, but food is consistent, beer selection is good, live music is a bonus.. I like their flatbread, mussels, and frits.. in the summer, i really enjoy their patio but for rest of the year inside is nice as well.. my regular hang out for sure.. read more

One of the posters mentioned consistent and that has been my experience as well. Food is great and beers even greater. Clean bathrooms and friendly, knowledgeable waitstaff. No resos for the patio so arrive early to avoid disappointment. Vegetarian options eg potato pizza available. Pizzas wings n fries are good. Calamari is too small. read more

Can't really decide if it wants to be a beer place, a restaurant or a club. Hence it does everything without a lack of focus. Came here this weekend but wanted more of a pub vibe. Band was hard rockers from the hammer. It seems like a decent bet if you want to pick up someone from condo land. read more

Beer! Beer! As far as the eye can see! Friendly and helpful servers? Check. Amazing food? Half-check. DAS BIER? Mais oui! I'm not a huge beer person. I like ciders, but not sickeningly sweet ones. Our waitress steered me towards the Pear cider who's name I can't remember (although it sounded like 'pear' or maybe started with a 'p'). It was very tasty, a touch sweet, and served RIGHT cold. The food was good, but forgettable, which is better than being remembered for being terrible. read more

1 star for having gluten-free beer: La Messagere 1 star for having delish fondue that was served fast 1 star for the walkable layout, long bar, & dancefloor. (-1) star for said fondue being insanely expensive, with not enough vegg. (-1) star for not embracing the German biergarten feel, but rather trying to make this a hoaxy hotspot/club. Andrew sums it up well in an earlier review. I was also disappointed when the DJ stopped and the cover band came on, but I think I'm the one person on Earth who doesn't like live rock music. So being an anomaly I'm considering this point a wash. read more

Do you really enjoy beer? Go here. Do you really enjoy hip, crowded party scenes? Go here. Do you enjoy beer but hate crowds? Don't go here on the weekend. (My rating of the place really jumps from a 3 - 4 depending what I am there for, but I do always find myself going back.) Bier Markt is so not a hidden gem. Everyone in Toronto plus their cousin and grandpa has probably been to, or at least heard of, Bier Markt. With good reason too - BM has a great selection of beer, cute bartenders, nice patio seating in the summer, and a really happening weekend scene. I'm personally not too big a fan of their food items. Their menu is not too extensive and pretty pricey. So you will always find me here with just my giant glass of Hoegaarden. And as I am slowly becoming more and more averse to crowds, you'll probably only find me here early in the evening until the place becomes pretty filled with sweaty, drunken bodies and the air becomes a little too moist to breathe. Atmosphere - 5/5 Service - 4/5 Food - 2/5 Price - 3/5 read more

Came here the other day after volleyball, looking to tame the hunger beast with lots of heavy greasy food. I went with the summer special, which was a "Double Burger" (sauteed onions, mayo, bacon on two patties). The bun was fairly standard - I'm not usually too particular with this as long as it isn't soggy, and if the patty is juicy, which it was. The accompanying fries were crispy, the way I like them. Also went with the "Crab Dip," which was pretty nice in texture and taste (you could taste the crab and cheesiness), but I was not a fan of the pita bread they used - it seemed too crusty and stale when compared to other dipping breads I've had at other restos. The group I was with was getting pretty hangry, because the service here was sloooow. Rating would have been higher based on the food alone. If you don't mind the long wait times though, this place has as good of a patio as you will find in this area. The interior part of the restaurant seemed a bit dank though, and had a different vibe than the other Bier Markt's. I would come back for the burger and patio, but only if I wasn't so hungry that I couldn't put up with the sluggish service. read more

This place has totally gone downhill since I first starting going here 2 years ago. Last night I was there for the band/dancing part of the evening. First off - when you make this much money, maybe you should invest in some air conditioning... come on. NOW.. I don't know where the security is in this place and exactly what their job involves. People can't handle their alcohol consumption and end of dropping their glasses on the floor which results in shattered glass on the dance floor. Where is the clean up staff? No they'd rather have their paying customers get cuts and glass spliters on their feet instead of being responsible and first off cut off the people that did it and ask them to leave, and secondly clear the area so that they can clean the spill. This has happened on several occasions and it's quite common - it's not a one off. They don't believe in the safety of their customers because they probably think we're all drunk anyways and won't notice. Totally unacceptable and I will think twice before making this place my choice of a night out. read more

WOW Bier Markt, WOW. Here's my short synopsis: 1) Hopping place on a Friday night, line ups are not unusual 2) Bar staff was awesome: ask for Tommy 3) Live band was great 4) Great dancing available 5) Expensive... like really expensive (you don't realize it until the day after and you see a wad of receipts in your purse) 6) The per capita of sleazy people seems to be lower here Try it out on a weekend just to check out the scene, totally worth it and right by the GO bus if you are like me and from the GTA! Grooving. read more

Yum! My travel companion and I headed here for our one and only dinner for our weekend in Toronto. Our eyes were a little bigger than our stomachs so we ordered a bit too much, but it was still a delicious dining experience. After enjoying our beers, we started with the poutine flight. There was a bacon poutine, a mushroom and short rib poutine, and a pastrami poutine. All of it was delicious and smothered in gooey cheese. Can't ask for more. For our mains, we each got an order of mussels and fries. I got the 'porto fino' which was full of spicy chilies and it was delicious. My friend got the 'a la snob' which had a lobster-based broth which was incredible. We were freakin' stuffed when we left the restaurant. Oh, I should mention that I ordered some sort of strawberry beer. It was super girly and sweet, which is not really what I look for in beers usually, but it was an interesting change and hey, it's good try new things. Our waiter was super nice and surprisingly accommodating, considering how crowded the place was. read more

One of the worst dining experiences I've had to date: 1. I reserved a table for 8 people and a waitress came to take out orders. I was halfway through stating my order when the waitress just randomly walked away. It took me 20 mins to wave her down and tell her that I didn't finish my order. She didn't even apologize. As a result, I got my food at least 30 mins after everyone else and this in itself made me irritated. 2. Took forever to get any water and finally got it after raising my hand multiple times to get the waitress' attention. The first thing you should do as a waitress/waiter is to get your customers water or drinks. Clearly, this waitress didn't care. 3. They have a 18% mandatory post-tax tip, which equals to 20% of your pre-tax bill. I'm against mandatory tip in the first place, but 20% is excessive. Now I understand why we had such terrible service - the waitress knew that no matter kind of service she provided, she would get getting the tip regardless. This is exactly why I'm against mandatory tipping. 4. Food was below average. I ordered duck wings and it tasted like no-name chicken wings and they were slightly burnt. I ordered a charcuterie board and everything on it tasted like leftovers. The calamari had a very fishy taste. Learn to respect your customers first and improve the quality of your food. For these two reasons, I will not be coming back here or any of the other Bier Markt establishments. read more

"I eat out a lot. More than most Torontonians. I eat out more like a New Yorker (when I lived there I held my own with the locals) and in all major metropolises we should be able to do so with a wide selection of quality and variety. I have eaten in France, California, the aforementioned New York, the Caribbean, the UK... it's my passion and I partake as regularly and as widely as is possible. I have two perspectives - I worked in the industry for many years and I'm also an avid diner with a vested interest in the success and proliferation of as many restaurant options as possible. My first post, unfortunately, turns out to be about one establishment that might be taking up space where others could flourish. Not how I wanted to begin but honesty is key!...."

Food: A Service: A Food presentation: A Atmosphere: A Prices: C Recommended?: Yes This place lives up to the name with a wide selection of beers. The food is also pretty good. And they have a live band usually on the weekend managing the high energy atmosphere. My only complaint is that both the beers and the food items are unnecessarily too pricy. Eg. ~$25 Kobe Burger, although was pretty good, it was definitely not worth $25. Bottom line, this is a place every beer lover should visit once. But go with a full stomach and pre-drink!! read more

*3.5 stars* We were here last week. I came with a few gf's. It was nice to have a night out. We were seated in the girls section...actually I don't think there is a girls' section but there was a big group of ladies on one side of us, and a smaller table of ladies on the other. It's pretty busy here, my friends probably spent about 20 minutes at the bar before we were seated. It's pretty loud here too, so it was tough to hear my DC's. We ordered the fondue (the beer one, not the cider one). It was so good. We also had the snitzel (to share). And ended with the seasonal creme brule. The fondue was definitely a highlight. the Snitzel was ok, the creme brule was really more like a chocolate pudding with a hard-ish shell on top. The "macaroons" that came with it were weird. The cookie part was salty, and rock hard. It was difficult to tell if they meant it to be that way, or if the chef accidentally used salt instead of sugar to make them. They were sad little macarons. I'd come back for beer and fondue, but probably skip dessert. It was ok, but certainly not what they described it as. read more

Consistently good food but I wish they would change up the menu once in a while. Would be nice to see new additions to the charcuterie board and a larger selection of wine (I know it's called BIER Markt... but still). Server was super nice and funny. We ordered a round of beer then I decided I wanted wine as well so asked for the Merlot. She asked if I wanted the 5oz or 8oz... I looked at her and said the whole bottle. She came out with it right away. Would come back for Delirium and dips! read more

The old Bier Markt is always a staple if you are looking for a great night out! I was just there for my best friend's birthday last weekend and again, I was amazed by the energy and life this bar has to offer on a Saturday night. What makes Bier Markt great is they have tons of bar space spread out all over the place, along with tons of tables for group dinners - a perfect addition to anyone's birthday party or celebration occasion. On top of that, they always have great cover bands and DJ's busily spinning in between each set. The only thing I have to warn about is the menu is limited in terms of food selection and every entree starts at $20 and goes up from there. Also, if you are having a big group for dinner, make sure your reservation is in the clear and that your table will be ready when you get there. read more

Is it a restaurant? A pub? a club? Who can tell? It's not doing a very good job being any of the above, if you ask me. As a restaurant, it's really LOUD! As a pub, it's way too crowded with not enough seating. And as a club, it's just a bit awkward with all those people eating and standing around while you try to.... dance? Side note: It's funny how many times the word "douche" is mentioned in these reviews. Really sets a reputation for the place. read more

This is a great place to drink premium beers and eat good food. The atmosphere is rockin' on the weekend, but a little quiet and dark during the week. The beer selection's choice, although they did not have La Chouffe?!! Boo-urns. And I am saying boo-urns and not 'Burns.' Food is tasty and prompt, and service is pretty good. I have been here before when it is standing room only, and still, it delivers. read more

My experience was okay, nothing great and I found it to be a little overrated. In early December 2012 I visited with friends for my birthday. We arrived around 10:30 or 11:00pm on a Saturday and the doorman wouldn't let us take in my birthday cupcakes but kept them at the door for me to pick up at the end of the night. There's some rule about not bringing in outside food, but I appreciated that he was friendly. Once inside, the staff were quick and a little harsh when trying to keep certain pathways and areas clear. I stopped walking when I was near coat check for less than a minute to take off my coat and was immediately told to keep moving. Throughout the night there was a series of fights (oddly enough including the same people who probably should have been kicked out after the first fight) and the drinks (at least mine) were 80% ice. Other than that, the live band wasn't very good in terms of sound or musical range but they had good energy. Not sure if I'll be back anytime soon, but I hear brunch is amazing. Might give that a try. read more

Remember when there wasn't a Bier Markt everywhere you looked? It used to be great as a bar/pub but in the last couple years it's started to fall apart. The clientele has gotten too pretentious and their food isn't worth eating. Servers don't know enough about their non-mainstream beer. I asked for a suggestion and she suggested Stella! STELLA????? We were there on Saturday - table of six, waiting for one person - and as we were browsing the menu we asked the server for water and she copped an attitude about it. Sliders were over cooked and cold. We didn't bother with dinner after that...just a few more drinks and then headed out. read more

Came here few days ago for the Summerlisious - it was so disappointing! For 20$ lunch you would expect something fairly decent but the food was really bad. We had to add sauces and salt for it to be eatable. If you come for a beer I`m sure it`s a nice place but don`t bother to order food, really. You`d be better eating in a foodcourt:/ read more

Nice place for beers and some food. I was pleasantly surprised that they had Schnitzel on the menu. Ordered a few draft beers and the pork schnitzel. For a European deprived from some of the local European countries' food specialities it was fun to eat a German schnitzel again. read more
