We arrived early to listen to Escape Plan, the live band playing that evening. It took a few minutes for the waitress to notice us but she was smiling and friendly. I had a Tipsy Blond (named for the Brewery's cat who I saw peeking out the window!) The beer was good and flavorful. I especially like that the menu includes the IBU value for each beer as I prefer beers with little bitterness. After I ordered beer, I flipped the menu over to discover many more cocktail and wine options! We had Rueben's, turkey burger or the regular burger and we all enjoyed the food. My tots were sprinkled with a peppery seasoning that gave them a bit of kick and they were very crispy. I'd suggest them over the fries which were not as crisp. The outdoor seating was cooled by a nice breeze. There is a small indoor bar. The main entrance is on the side street but is also accessible from Castell Ave. I can see enjoying another evening here! read more

I was in town exploring for the first time and I came across this spot! All the beers they had were great and they had a great rounded out choice of beers rather than the usual 5 taps of IPA's. They have a huge outdoor seating area with live music. They have a full bar which is nice if thats your thing. The inside bar was vey small and intimate. I definitely recommend stopping in and supporting a local small business! read more

I'll be thinking about the bao bun for a long long time. It had no right to be so dang good. It was perfection. Honestly surprised this place isn't packed because all the food we ordered was so good. It's hot outside but they have great covers in the beirgarten and the music this Saturday was great too. This place just shot up on my list of great places to eat in new braunfel read more

Enjoyed some drinks and live music with a group of friends. There were several large groups there celebrating different events. This is definitely a good place to have a get together with a large group. However, there is an intimacy here that is also suitable for a good 'ol date night. My husband and I danced to a few songs, but the crushed granite "dance floor" made it a little difficult. The love band was great and I know we will be repeat customers here. read more

Order the burger and fries, the meat looks like it was frozen not fresh, the bottom bun soggy, the fries were cold, the taste there was none. Disappointed and I was told they had good burgers.....far from it, I will never go back read more

First time here, it was empty, we grabbed a coffee and went to order from the food truck, he guilt tripped us about the coffee and said go inside to order rudely, we left. read more

So so excited this place is open again!!! I have been patiently (not really) awaiting this place to reopen. Great beer (not at the hotel since their lines are never clean and the taste is off). This is the place and atmosphere to get a great beer. The outdoor space has been extended with more seating and beautiful landscaping. Their food truck is absolutely amazing. Everyone in our party loved what they got- the German fries, shrimp tacos, Greek salad, and brisket au jus sandwich. I can't wait for their coffee shop to open. read more

Nice microbrewery. Staff was nice. Food was very good. Several nice folks at the bar. Ambiance was nice.

Always enjoy the brews and ambience that the Faust Brewery offers. Great location and also love their music venues.

We walked in, bar was not completely full. Very small on the inside. No one acknowledged us, not a hello, be right with you, nothing. They didn't even look at us. After 5 minutes of trying to be acknowledged, we walked out. We will never go back! Bad vibes all the way around! read more

My previous review was for the Faust Hotel bar and not for the brewery. The brewery was closed and just recently re-opened. The brewery is great - nice selection of house brews and a resident food truck. I enjoyed the cream red ale and we ordered a chicken tenderloin sandwich and cheeseburger. read more

Great food, great service. Artichoke dip was great, along with the German Fries and the Rueben. Delicious food! Highly recommend!

Food was absolutely amazing. Tried their Pilsner and it was delicious. Atmosphere and service was 5 star. Highly recommend.

Great Biergarten patio, good food, and friendly service. Tater Kegs are awesome, seasonal crafts are a must!

My favorite meal out of the three we had when staying locally! Im going to focus on the things I ate - the Mac and cheese and ahi tuna. That ahi tuna was the food highlight of my weekend. Ever since COVID, I've been having the hardest time getting quality tuna from restaurants but this dish was perfect. The crunchy slaw added a nice contrast to the to the tuna and sauces. I loved the combination of the multiple sauces. I would drive from San Antonio to new braunfels just to get that tuna appetizer. I've had the Mac and cheese from here before a few years ago. I remembered it being good and it is! It ended up turning into 2 meals, it's a good amount of food. I like the noodle shape they use and the addition of the veggies. The additional Parmesan toasts on the side are so yummy. Can you ever have too many carbs with cheese? read more

I dropped in for a quick lunch while my truck was getting serviced a block away and stayed for two hours. The beer selection and quality were excellent, the Polka Pils was my favorite. The bar has a variety of top shelf bourbon that you rarely see. I had the barnyard burger and fries. It was delicious and huge, I had to box half of it for later. I liked it so much I bought the family and friends on Saturday night. The food was great again and the outdoor area was perfect for listening to the live music and still have conversations. We found everything we were missing when the Faust hotel closed and will be regulars here. read more

First timer - and I really enjoyed it. We started off with pretzel bites with beer cheese, plus chips and salsa. The beer cheese was a little off, but I really liked the pretzel bites! My husband loved the chips and salsa. I ordered a cheeseburger with bacon and guacamole and it was one of the best burgers I have had in NB. My husband had the rueben and said it was hands down the best he's ever had. I also had a couple house margs and they were delicious as well. Overall, I really enjoyed our visit and we will be back! read more

Just an ok experience - nothing too exciting but probably a nice amenity for anyone staying at the (haunted) hotel. I was also pleasantly surprised to see it was a brewery! (We were just told we were going to the Faust Hotel) I had a couple beers that were decent - I liked one better than the other but unfortunately I don't recall which they were. I don't recall what the meal I ordered was called - but it was a bratwurst wrapped in puff pastry. It was something I had never seen before and seemed fun. It was alright - might have just been executed better (the puff pastry wasn't done well). And I never got to get the server's attention for mustard, which would have elevated it. Oh well! I might try to recreate the dish at home! We peeked around the hotel lobby a bit, hoping to see a spirit, but no luck! read more

Food and service was excellent. We ate inside and outside looked equally comfortable and fun.

Always friendly, helpful. Love the beer selection. Only tried Solms Plsner, and River Ride. Pizza: (Guad. Italian is great. Had 3, always consistently good. Clean and tidy. Lots of parking. Has provisions for private groups. read more

It's been six years since my first visit and it still holds up. Great food and a decent selection of beer. Looks like I'm too early for the Oktoberfest brew again, but good enough reason for me to come back. The German Nachos are killer! You can beat the beer cheese and the brat is delish. The pretzel bites are a must with the zesty beer cheese. read more

Food is off the hook. Among the best burgers in town. Draft beer is cold. Very nice selection of whiskeys and bourbons. A go-to place.

Nice place but not much parking. You have to park on the street. The sitting area is nice but hot. Not very much shade. I suggest you bring your own umbrella or arrive early to get one of the few shades spots. The bad was nice but we only stayed for 1 drink because of the lack of shade. The drinks were ok. Mixed drinks lacked a little flavor. We will return to try them again. read more

Besides being a little tough to find, this was a decent spot to stop for lunch! We had initially walked into the hotel, then actually had to go back out through a different door to get to the restaurant. I ordered the shrimp tacos, which I think were a newer feature on the menu as I didn't see it listed on any of the initial pictures. The tacos themselves were fairly good. Definitely better than your typical brewery fare. The chips and salsa on the side I honestly could've done without as they really didn't add anything to it for me. I was really impressed with the service. We had a table of more than 10 people after church and they not only got us seated right away, they also brought food out in a timely manner. We did stagger our orders per the waiter's suggestion since the kitchen is fairly small. We didn't have any beers, but the menu looked impressive and it's definitely on my list to try when we come back. Overall, our experience was great. I'd highly recommend as a fun place to watch a game as it definitely has a sports bar vibe to it. read more

We stopped in for a quick lunch after kayaking the river. The shrimp tacos were incredible!!! Lots of good beers! Great service too! It was super hot that day so we sat inside but I'd love to go back and enjoy the beautiful beer garden on a cooler evening! read more

Been here a few times. The food was pretty yummy but can't speak to the drinks. Big drag is the atmosphere/ambiance. It's weird and dark but also vacuous and hollow. The bar part makes sense but the "dining room" portion does not. It's located in the historic Faust Hotel which is cool, but really wish they could do something more with the space. read more

We did not stay in the haunted hotel. Required dinner that would please 6 sets of unique taste buds with a need to seriously chill. Perfect spot after a hot game of mini golf we landed here, really Dorothy you are not in Kansas anymore. Parking in back may confuse some as well as what door to enter and watch your step if you have imbibed a wee too much. Lovely bar, excellent CS, plenty of AC and cocktails the right temp! Food outstanding, a tad slow in coming out, the wait was worth it. Historical it is, price wise comparable, and no ghosts were seen. Casual dress not swim suits acceptable! read more

First and foremost - the brewing company is no longer located at the Faust hotel. It is located nearby at 499 S Castell Ave, New Braunfels, TX 78130. They have a really nice outdoor patio area with large picnic table style seating, indoor seating at the bar, and also indoor seating in the "hangar" right alongside the brewing equipment. Their beer selection/variety is good, and the staff are VERY knowledgeable about what the have on tap. If you are looking for a certain style of beer, ask them and they can probably find one to suit your taste. They will also give free tastes if you are not sure before purchasing one. Great local business - show them your love folks! read more

Been here three times and love this place. What a unique experience. You can feel the ghost energy in the old building. But on to the food. You must get the perogies. I hate onion rings but love their onion strings. Every other item we ordered was delicious. Except for the fries. Boring and incorrectly cooked as compared to the tots. Get the shortcake dessert, you only live once. They have their own brews and guest taps, plus a way better than chain hotel hard alcohol bar. Staff appears to be overworked like most places these days. Trying to not become a regular so that I can still fit in my pants. read more

After a year in the area, I finally got to try Faust Brewing and was a bit underwhelmed. The staff was very nice and attentive. We ordered the Greek salad and the fish tacos, which were good but nothing special. The jalapeno pilsner was refreshing with good spice to it. We wanted to try more beer but it was way too hot outside to enjoy food or beer. read more

If there's a brewery in town (especially a craft brewery), Imma gonna find it! So...had to at least stop in Faust and try a German style cold one on a recent trip to New Braunfels. Faust brewing is housed inside the historical Faust Hotel (est. 1929); however, the brewery is a little newer - est. 1998. The brewery has two entrances, one on the side and one in the front. The bar area is dimly lit, has an "old" (not to be confused with no upkeep) feeling that is very welcoming, and you can see a few copper brew tanks right in the middle behind glass. Pretty neat. (Note: They stopped brewing beer on-site a few years ago to accommodate the growing demand for their variety of beers - they now brew in a building a couple of blocks away; no tours). After being greeted by a friendly barkeep...what to try, what to try? They will allow you to sample any on drafts - yay! - I chose to go with the signature Faust Golden Ale. Made from Czech Saaz hops and Euro malt, the Ale is crisp with a clean finish. Goes down easy, not too filling, I'm a fan! The hubby said he thoroughly enjoyed his Wheat beer as well. Faust Brewery serves food as well. Perused the menu, but didn't order anything as I had already had dinner. The selections are VERY diverse: Italian Nachos...Soulvaki Skewers...Seared Ahi Tuna...yup, Wings...and more. A guy sitting next to me was having the Mac n Cheese and it looked pretty darn stringy, steaming good! Just sayin'. Next time! Overall: Certainly worth a visit when in New Braunfels. Good people, good beer, and little bit of being reminded of the times of yesteryear. Tip: They sell growlers to go; can bring your own to be filled or purchase a Faust one. read more
