Okay, NGL walked in and was REALLY apprehensive! It's looking like a dive bar! Yep- I know it I am a SNOB!! It's NOT my business what you call me! I have NO ILLUSIONS OF Grandeur! We were going to invite some others to come with us- but, ah yes well, I believe I am not their cup of tea shall we say? I was so glad they elected NOT TO HANG WITH US!!! Why??? BECAUSE I WOULD NOT HAVE TO SHARE THE GOOD EATS WITH THEM!!!! Hahah!!! Oh, under 21 welcome just not at bartop and not after 9pm. Bring the whole fam damily!! The waitri- nice!!!! She I BELIEVE is in charge- I could be mistaken- idk. So polite! She actually spoke with my kids, AND WAS DO RESPECTFUL!! They are starting at the college this fall. And we're very interested in working there! The drinks- looked very interesting but we were there for THE FOOD! Oh my. Such delicious food. Spaetzel. I suppose I would say it wasn't quite the genuine noods I am used to from my German grandma I was used to. But, I am cognizant of the regional differences one may experience- mine came from The Port of Odessa area up river a bit. They were peasants who settled back when Tzarina invited them to settle the area tax free. Yes, we've always been POOR!!! But we EAT! And we eat well! We also had the rustic chix sando sliders. They were quite healthy- and were a bit dry- I prefer a bit more fat- I have some trouble with that but they were so good!!! And the potato fritters- HEAVEN!!! We loves our taters! So so good. I'm doing this from memory- sorry I don't have great descriptors and the names!!! Definitely get s read more

Overall a pretty good experience. Waiter was really nice and helpful. However at times it felt a bit slow but the service was still great and really good atmosphere. Great music they have playing too! Highly recommend the Spaetzle Und Bierkase and the Bee Sting Cake! Absolutely AMAZING! The Trailhead was also delicious, great flavor, but the bread was stale. read more

Unreservedly recommended! This is hearty, filling fare, even for the vegetarian options. I ordered several of the appetizers as my portion which I shared with four other family members, and came away happily stuffed! Garrett was fantastic, and answered all our questions so graciously. I love it when people take pride in their work! His attentive care was so much appreciated on this trip. God bless and keep you! On to the food! The classic pretzel was everything it should be, and the beer cheese and 2 mustard sauces were on point--definitely recommend. The Garden Gondolas were a bit of a surprise--100% delicious, and way more filling than expected with their cheesy middles. The hot honey was only mildly spicy and the perfect addition to the milky flowers. The boars in a blanket were meaty treats! More rustic cousins of pigs in a blanket, with a heartier crust, and a thick chunk of perfectly cooked roast beast to chomp down on. YUM. The spaetzle und bierkase wasn't what I was expecting based on my own travels in Deutschland, but once I adjusted that back-of-the-mind expectation, I fully embraced this meaty, oniony, brothy, pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps Americanized counterpart. 'Merica!!! XD Two of the kids got the Trailheads, and one got the Pooh Bear. None of them managed to finish their portions, but they all 100% enjoyed them again later. The sandwiches were every bit as deliciously filling as the appetizers. The meats here are done so well! The salads are wonderful, too; not just an afterthought, but accompanied and dressed with care. The Rustic is superb if you're in the mood for rye and brisket. Mouth watering, tender, and perfectly balanced by the side salad. But it doesn't stop there! The tiramisu was delectable, the ice cream fresh and creamy, and the Bee Sting cake was perfection: warm crispy where it should be, cold and creamy where it should be, and sooo good. Zero disappointments. We were there in the early evening, so it wasn't super loud, and there were just a few other tables. There was a quiz game getting started when we were there, so we played along. I really enjoyed this quiz game--it was less esoteric minutiae and more history/politics/music/business/cultural questions that a generally well educated person would enjoy tasking their mind to recollect. It was great to see the kids drawing from their recent educational experiences to answer some of the questions, and deducing the answers to other ones. There are also board games here that you can enjoy. We enjoyed the What Do You Meme game while waiting for our food. It brought the atmosphere together nicely. We so much enjoyed our experience at Countrymen's Bier Hall. 10/10, Thank you!! Keep up the excellent work! read more

Good food, good beer, great crew. But sadly, they recently closed the doors. Hope they come back, Moscow needs all the help it can get

Very cozy inside, had to use my flashlight to see the menu. Service was so great, they offer craft cocktails, and the server explained them at length. Delish cocktails, Food was wonderful! Plated beautifully! read more

Awesome food, good selection of beers, pleasant cocktails. Currently between locations but I hear the new location is coming along nicely.

Wow! Do not sleep on this place, they are doing it right! We came down for Family Weekend from California and boy is this a place we will come back to!! The service was great, they were friendly, had plenty of seating and we were helped right away. We started with drinks and were immediately impressed. I got an Arnold Palmer and my husband got an iced tea, and the orange cinnamon flavor was something I had never had before but it was amazing!! My son ordered a Shirley Temple and it was perfect, made with real cherries not the typical maraschino...so good! For the food, wow! I got the tri tip sliders and they were on point! The meat was tender, with the right amount of horseradish and the spring greensplus the bread was super soft. I ordered the fritters with them and they had such a good amount of seasoning that I didn't even need the sauce. We also got the apple and pear flatbread with added chicken. The arugula with balsamic added the perfect amount of crunch and spice and was probably my favorite thing from what we ordered. My husband got the French dip and had nothing but good things to say, tender meat with a nice smoky flavor, soft roll, great au jus! We also got a cheddar brat, a chicken salad, and a pretzel bun burger and we couldn't have been more satisfied with how good, no how great the food was! They know how to cook here. Oh and the dessert, forget about it. Tiramisu with a scoop of hand churned brown sugar cinnamon ice cream Truly one of the best meals we've all had in a long time! They also have big portions so we were able to take some home and enjoy later. 5 stars for sure! read more

I love this place. Unique food that is delicious and the staff are always friendly and helpful.

Love this place. You're losing a star because I'm a man well into my thirties and you carded me. My license expired and I haven't gone in to renew, so I had to be kicked out. That pisses me off. read more

Dining room was dark, but we appreciated the availability of games to play. They had no flat bead so we had to order other stuff. We ordered the chicken sandwich and it was D-R-Y and so tough it was like eating jerky. Others' meals were okay, but overall we were disappointed by the experience. read more

Excellent service. Fantastic drink menu and delicious food! The artichoke nuggets and fried Brussels sprouts with unique dipping sauces were just what we needed to go with our drinks. Don't miss out on the fritters as your side of whichever main you choose. Food was eaten before photos could take place. read more

We stumbled on this place while previewing U of I with our kid and very glad we did. The food was great, we started with the tempura fried Brussels. Then I had the corned beef sliders, kid had the brats in a blanket and my wife had a flatbread. You probably can't go wrong with any of their food but the portions were pretty generous, the flavors and textures delicious. Beer menu was solid, I had a few sours and an IPA. Wife had a well made gin and tonic, then we had some birthday/chocolate cake shots the bartender did a great job on. The one man band played some great tunes too. Solid country bier hall feel. Then after we finished dinner Chris invited us upstairs to check out connected Moscow Axe Throwing. Another great vibe and atmosphere. He was friendly and helpful and the facilities were clean and well laid out. We'll definitely be back and I'd encourage you to go too. read more

Awesome must visit spot in Moscow. The food is sooo good and service was awesome. A little dark inside but still a great spot.

I'm going to be completely honest, I am a bit disappointed in this place. After looking at the reviews, I had high expectations. We went to try something new, as I love bratwursts and so I was excited to see they had. The menu online looked great so I was excited. We got the cob crescents and it was good, I liked the seasoning and sauces. We got a sandwich (the chopper) with a side salad. I liked the salad and the dressing options. I was a bit disappointed in the sandwich, I could only taste the BBQ sauce which I get but I was excited for the cornbread bun. I didn't taste any cornbread so I think they may have subbed it out without telling me, but I'm not sure. We also got the Brat beast. It was fine but it wasn't special. Pretty good chips. I wouldn't get again though. I was pretty disappointed with the FLAMMKUCHEN flat bread. I saw it had bacon, which I'm fine with. When I bit into it, there was big chunks of meat. It wasn't in the description so I decided to ask. The waitress said she thinks it's pork belly. Maybe some people wouldn't mind, but I personally would not have gotten it if there were pork belly in it. I don't like that the servers didn't tell the waitress they subbed it out or put some in. I'm assuming they ran out of bacon so they subbed it with pork belly. I personally do not like pork belly at all, so I couldn't eat it. As a restaurant, please let the customer know if things are getting added that are not part of the description. It's okay if you are out of stuff, but I would rather just order something else instead. I will say I really enjoyed the environment. They had great drinks, and lots of game options to play, which we played for a bit. Also, I don't really like how you have to pay with a portable card reader that they hold up to you where they look at you while you tip. Personally, I don't think businesses should be using this for payment, as it is intimidating for customers who may feel obligated to tip more just because the server is looking right at them while they tip. read more

Service was flawless! Food- the best Rustic/Rueben we have had in Idaho. Soooooo, yummy! The Pretzel- I'm not usually a stone ground mustard person, but this was fantastic, as was the pub cheese. read more

Rating: 20/10! We swung by and left absolutely thrilled. With a resident cook in the family, we're pretty discerning diners. We sampled the Trailhead and the French Dip--both were freaking phenomenal! Juicy, flavorful, and crafted with love! The food was so stellar, we had to dive into dessert. The Bee Sting cake was a masterpiece, and that brown sugar and cinnamon ice cream? Say less friends! And the staff? Absolutely wonderful--friendly, genuine, and engaging. We'll be back to explore the entire menu and will definitely be spreading the word to our friends! read more

The food is fantastic and they have a large variety of craft/micro brew beverages. The staff is always friendly and respectful to the customers and I can't recommend this place strongly enough. If it was possible to rate it above 5 stars they would be getting at least 9. read more

Incredible find in such a small town. I mean obviously they have a wonderful selection of beers on draft, but the food here is the real star. This is an incredibly down to earth culinary experience without the prices of the big cities. The chef that came up with their menu knows what works and what will knock your socks right off; and I cannot believe we hadn't come sooner to find this little gem. I've been back several times since my first stop in and will continue to because this is my favorite place in Moscow. Cannot recommend this place enough and with the super casual atmosphere it's a huge win/win. read more

This place is the whole package. They have amazing service that is both personable and efficient. The food is reasonably priced, tasty and provides a decent variety. Finally, they have a diverse tap list, inclusive of ciders and seltzers. I understand they are working towards expanding to provide cocktails. My hope for them is that there is no collateral damage to any of their other finally honed service lines as they expand their menu. I'm told that I showed up on a slow night, there were not too many folks in here on a Sunday evening. There seems to be ample space to fill and there was a little corner for some live music. This place could be pretty lively and fun in the right circumstances, but it's certainly lacks pretension. I'll have to come back to try axe throwing which is upstairs through a separate entrance. read more

Wow, we have a new fave place! If the atmosphere, service, and huge tap beer menu isn't enough, wait till you taste the food! The Bivouac was absolutely delicious! Hubby got the Hinterlander, also great. I'd even come in and just have the sides, fries and fritters were awesome! Will def be back, a lot! read more

Good food and beer. Excellent and attentive service. Feels like a real bier hall with communal tables and a lively atmosphere.

Great food, drinks, service and atmosphere! We will keep coming back. Haven't been axe throwing upstairs yet but we certainly will! read more

We always have a fantastic time here. I love the owner and how he is always present and checking on guests. Our food is always soo perfect and its quality! You go to a place that serves alcohol and assume its food may not be good, but this is a five star restaurant quality menu. I'm always pleased. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and always happy. There are tons of games to play and honestly I just can't say enough good things. I love being here. You feel at home! Thank you Chris, Garret and Hayden for always making our experience an enjoyable one! We appreciate you! - Harry and Sarah read more

This place is amazing! I would move to Moscow just to be close to this place! I arrived here with my family about 30 min before they closed. The server was very attentive and spent time going over the menu and checked on us afterward. The ambiance and the workers are top notch! Can't wait to go back! read more

Just went for the first time, what a find!!! Best food I've had around here in a long time, very good service, very kind staff. Brats and spätzle are amazing, and the beer, wine, cider and alcoholic beverage options are plentiful. Amazing cooks, good atmosphere, and they even have board games. Definitely will be back soon! read more

On the day of the Idaho Homecoming football game which we lost, I decided to have dinner at Countrymen's. I ate at the bar, and the lighting was a bit on the dim side. The service was good.

Went to this restaurant last night as a last minute date night around 9:30 or so. We ordered the Drunken Yardbird (really good), Tiramisu (I'm a Tiramisu snob and it was EXCELLENT, and a stout (excellent). We both really enjoyed everything, and left planning on returning again, to play games (from the options available at the restaurant!). Love that there's game options --great idea! read more

Came here on a snowy day for lunch. Place was pretty empty, but that was in part due to us dining in the 1-2pm hour. Service was friendly, place was very clean. Restaurant boasts plenty of seating and an authentic Dutch-deco vibe. Country music playing, we sat down at a table and perused the menu. Plenty of options of traditional brats, pretzels, and sandwiches. I like that the menu was straight forward. Ordered the Wurstbrot -- German Bratwurst. Sharp White Cheddar, Sauerkraut, Pub Sauce & Countrymen's Mustard on Toasted Brioche -- it was fantastic! These sandwiches come on 3 slider size brioche buns. Sauerkraut tastes homemade. My guest ordered the Hinterlander -- Mountain of Thick-Cut Tri-Tip, Sharp White Cheddar, Field Greens, with Cream Horseradish Herb Spread -- incredible flavor! Great flavor on the Tri-tip (not dried out) and herb spread leveled up the flavor. We split the food between the two of us and we quickly realized that we had stumbled upon something incredible. Great selection of draft beers on tap and I can't wait to work my way through every item on the menu! Will be great to visit for live music! Open late. 10/10 would recommend. read more

If you're in the mood for something a little different, this restaurant offers a variety of unique dishes.

Excellent food! Fun creative menu! Service was excellent too! My friends and I did not throw any axes, but we really enjoyed our food! In fact, I had to take my side/fritters home because I was so full. However, I have to give four stars because when I ate my fritters at home, one of them had a hair that was cooked into it. They have a place for open mic or karaoke, I really like when there's a stage present in an establishment.! Corn ribs are phenomenal! I wanted to order all the appetizers at once!! read more

Fantastic food, great service. Skip the chain restaurants and have something authentically local.

What's not to like....axes and beer. It's an all around great time for the entire family. Just below Moscow Ace Throwing is Countryman's Bier Hall. The restaurant continues to expand its hours as they softly open. The ambiance is true to form and gives you German beer hall vibes while serving up some German favorites that even the pickiest of eaters can get behind. The customer service is quite good as customers are regularly checked upon just in case they are ready for another round or are looking to try something new. Prost! read more

Food was ok. The ridge fries were great. The place takes a serious hit for as loud as it was. And a little for the server's attitude. We asked if the music could be turned down. No "sorry, but I can't," or even a hint of such, but a "No. It's exactly where it needs to be." While it wasn't a need, I actually had a desire to have a conversation with the people I went there with read more

Good food, good service, fun atmosphere. I'm glad to have tried this place and look forward to returning. I was glad to see a few German-inspired elements in the menu and the dining area. German culture is fading away, so it's nice to see a few remnants appear here and there. The tri-tip sliders were tasty, and the owner seems to have a clear vision for what he wants to offer to his customers. I wish I could be his customer more often. read more

Food is fun and nothing else like this food in Moscow. The issue for me is the set up. Music blasting so loud you can't have a conversation ( I know I am old ;) so unless you want to text to talk skip. We asked to have music turned down a little and sever said this is "impossible". Also made sure to inform the women that no alterations can be made to order. Not impressed with treatment of customers as children that must follow directions so will not be going back. Also saw some well known community predators dining here which is also a deterrent even though that is not directly the fault of the business it does mean predators are comfortable eating here. read more
