We had just arrived in NYC and this spot was next to our hotel. It was lunch time. We were starved. So we are here. It was pretty dead. Seems like more of a night time spot. Definitely was busier when we walked past later. Their menu at lunch isn't super extensive but adequate. Not surprising, lots of sausages! Our food was ok. It took a LONG time to get it. The music was fairly loud. The Reuben was ok but I wouldn't get it here again. It was super skimpy on the meat. My co-traveler's sandwich was quite generous. The place was super clean. They had a huge beer selection. I think if you were looking for sort of a 'German beer garden' experience that's what this is. It's not necessarily authentic but it is definitely an American tribute version of that experience. read more

Great location, service and beer / food options. Reason for 3 star is due to bad experience today on champions league final where multiple TVs were 1 minute ahead vs others and messed up the experience for a lot of people. It is obviously not fun to watch the game when you have views of what will happen in 1 minute!! When I flag this to the manager and was hoping for a solution, Philip who states is the manager, did not even look at me in the face and went through a big disagreement without considering any customer experience. Such a bad interaction on such a good day. I do not think he should be in that position nor the service / hospitality if he cannot manage customer issues. If he wants to, hopefully learns from this experience to have longevity in the industry. I have debated if I should write this or not and decided to write for a hope that it will make a positive output. read more

A classic German bar with large communal tables and a decent list of German beers on the tap, with sizes available from a German pint (330ml) to a liter mug. Got the mixed bratwrust plate with potato pancakes. The sausages are delicious, rich flavors within and well cooked with a crispy skin. The potato pancakes are slightly overcooked but still tasty. Would definitely be a great place to go when there are big sports matches. read more

Reichenbach Hall - Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Good drink, giant beers, price was decent for midtown, food was ok, service was what you would expect.

Visited there last night - 0.5 litter beers are $12-$13. The beer I had did not taste like beer. Tasted as if someone poured water. Chicken schnitzel was really good, better than some restaurants. Portion was large. I highly recommend it. Food and drinks came out quick. Staff keep checking if we need anything. Main reason we came here is to watch the World Cup football (ok it's soccer). They have two large screens and some small screens. We watched the first half while listening to German music - surreal experience! After asking twice, they played the commentary for the second half. I may come back here to get some German experience again but not to watch sports. read more

Great German restaurant, the food was amazing and WOW what a beer selection. It's open late

The food was flavorful. The schnitzel was crispy and severed with a tasty cucumber salad and fries. We also got the sampler of bratwurst it came with three different types all of which were all delicious with the mustard provided, red cabbage and sauerkraut. I had an Oktoberfest- there are varieties. The severer asked me about my beer drinking preferences and helped me select one. Overall it seems like a good place to watch a game or meet up for some tasty beers. read more

Reichenbach Hall - Hot German Gluehwein. (Spiced hot alcohol beverage) - Bars Near Me - New York, New York

We happened across this place while walking to a different restaurant from our hotel and decided on having dinner here instead. Wonderful split pea soup, Wiener schnitzel, sour bratton, and apple strudel. Great cocktails and beer, too! Very cool and laid back ambience. The wait staff was very attentive. We felt lucky to find this place! read more

Poor service. Food wasn't that good and that's proven by me leaving leftovers on the table taking nothing home. Very loud. Too many TV's. Only thing I'd suggest going here for is a beer. Pro Tip: If you're looking for a REAL German meal in NYC travel out to Queens to Zum Stammtisch. read more

Good variety of beer. Ample seating on a Saturday night. Food was plentiful but not tasty. The vibe feels like a frat house, but it was expensive. We tried: Pretzel with obatzda (cheese) Chicken schnitzel Aufschnitt teller (cold cuts) Kse-wurst (cheesy sausage) All was meh read more

Great bierhaus with wonderful service, delicious food, and a large selection of bier! We met up with friends while in town and had a little reunion lunch - plenty of seating for large parties. Will definitely be back the next time we are in the city! read more

Two good things were light beer and pretzel. Chicken Schnitzel was small, chicken inside was tasteless and dry, crust thick, hard to cut. It was worst schnitzel I have ever tried. Apple strudel was even worse: strudel was hot, but apples were cut as 1' cubes and still raw, dough almost raw, not spiced, not eatable. I can cook, so stopped eating it after first bite. Manager came, saw raw strudel, and removed it from bill. Luck of quality control at kitchen ruined our night. read more

Fun German restaurant/Biergarten in midtown. The beer is flowing and the music is pumping. Lots of coat hooks around the walls and seating areas, this place really knows how to cater to the winter crowd who want to get out of the cold and enjoy some libations. read more

Bartender was caring and the company was bright. Great place for a drink after work and the hostess was super nice when we entered. Great tap selection even after Oktoberfest. Great for a work party. read more

Cute decor. The wife and I stumbled in hungry and ordered food while we were waiting for our dinner reservation. We shared this meat platter, it was simple and definitely had all the German vibes. The pickled veggies were my favorite of the dish while my wife enjoyed the meats. Slowish service, may of been understaffed. read more

The food was not good. Sausages were too salty. Chicken schnitzel was too dry. French fries were decent. Service was good. Maybe it's ok as a bar place, but wouldn't recommend for the food. read more

Food was good and service was good. They started a tab on my credit card and I paid in cash. They kept the charge in pending for a week. Why? I had to call and follow up. read more

The beer was fine but when the bartender tells you there is credit card fee. Ok owners. I I did was take 5% off my originally planned tip. So, stop taking money away from your employees read more

Stumbled upon this place on Saturday and was excited about it but was a bit of a let down. A lot of the beers on the menu were out and when asking for a quick taster of one beer the waitress quickly said sorry we don't do that. We tried two beers and then left afterwards as it wasn't anything very special and everything we wanted to try was out. read more

I wanted to love this place so much because the manager was super awesome and nice, but this place fell flat in so many ways. I would have sympathy if it was packed but I went on a weekday and the place was 33% full at most. Problems: 1. Server forgot our orders 2. When we got to place orders, server placed order for items that they were out of, and the manager apologized one hour later - offering a free beer 3. When the server gave us the check she told us that she over charged but didn't know how so she wanted me to negotiate the receipt 4. Music... wow it was sooooo loud, excessively so, like almost club level. The good: 1. beer was authentic 2. Food was pretty good The poor service is totally not worth it. Go to Heidelberg in UES instead for German food! read more

Food portions are underseasoned. Very loud because of a large group event . Staff did not bring down music volume even after the event ended . Beer was okay read more

There's really nothing authentic about this place that's advertised as a "German Biergarten" other than the fact that they happen to sell German beer, but at insanely inflated prices. I ordered the Berliner currywurst and it was ready just a hotdog with tomato ketchup and curry powder poured on top. Nothing that even slightly resembled any currywurst I ever had in Berlin. And you'd think that a German Beer Hall might have some German music playing, but not the case. They blasted hip-hop the entire time. On a positive note, the servers were friendly and there was plenty of seating. read more

Wonderfully friendly service -- awesome food and great recommendation for a shared worst platter. (Veal sausage and purple cabbage sauerkraut were our favorites). Been here 3 times now and cannot wait for the fourth! read more

Reichenbach Hall - The wurst platter is the best! - Bars Near Me - New York, New York

This place was jumping the night before when I checked into the hotel so I decided to try them out for dinner. The menu has lots of traditional German food that looked amazing. Since I wanted to play it safe and not chance German food + a two hour drive, I played it safe with the bacon cheese burger. It was good for what it was, but it seemed like a frozen burger with fries traight out of the bag. A pretzel w/ cheese was grabbed for the road home, it looked too good to pass up. The place looked really clean. Be prepared to sit with others, German Family style. The staff, none of which looked German were very friendly and attentive. Next time in NYC maybe I'll try the real German food here! I would definitely come back. read more

This massive beer hall gets loud and rowdy, but it's one of my favorite group drinking spots because the food's also pretty decent. All hail the massive Oktoberfest pretzel with mustard and beer cheese! The sausage platters are pretty hefty and satisfying as well (I'm partial to the cheese-filled Käse-Wurst, and all the platters come with potato salad, sweet and sour red cabbage, and sauerkraut), but the giant pretzel's where it's at. Easily enough to share with a small classroom of people even if you're stuffing your face. That and a liter of deliciously sweet and refreshing Schöfferhofer grapefruit beer are enough to make me a happy camper. I got the two-liter Das Boot once. All it'll do is hurtle you toward the bathroom every half an hour. If you want the same cute photo-worthy glass mug minus the damage to your bladder, get the little boot. They also have shotskis, which are a fun one-and-done experience, but I'll take the grapefruit beer any day. read more

I've come here once or twice a month for about 4 years, but after last night I'm done. The new manager the last year or so is awful. Let me note that I'm rarely a difficult customer - even when my order is incorrect somehow I typically just deal with it unless it's rendered inedible for me. I tip well (I tipped $60 on this $240 bill because I assume it's not the waitresses' fault) and I almost never give the staff a hard time - restaurant business is tough. I brought a group of 6 - 8 people for food and drinks. When they said it was last call for food (around 8 PM btw), without a menu handy, I asked for a giant pretzel, as I'd shared their giant Oktoberfest pretzel among a group of 4 many times in the past. They said they were out of that but had regular pretzels, so, expecting it to be a normal 3 to 4 inch wide pretzel, I ordered four. It turns out there is an off the menu pretzel that's much bigger than the giant Oktoberfest pretzel, that's the one they were out of, and "regular pretzel" means giant Oktoberfest pretzel, so four huge 8 to 10 inch wide pretzels arrived at the table costing $13 each (including the Obatzda I added on). I told the waitress these are the giant pretzels I wanted in the first place, "regular pretzels" are much smaller, 4 of these are way too much, and asked to send three of them back. She declined so I politely asked for the manager. I explained to the manager that these are not regular pretzels (later they appeared on the receipt as "okto pretzels") and asked to send back the extras, and he refused as well. He then proceeded to argue with me for several minutes about it. I asked him if he recognized me as a regular and he said yes, so I asked him why he's giving me such a hard time over a few pretzels when I'm there often (and I think I've never sent back food there before that day - I almost never do that in general) and bring groups with me. I told him I was not coming back if he didn't comp the three extra pretzels and he kept repeating the same thing: "what are we supposed to do with them, we can't serve them to someone else". This guy missed day 1 of restaurant manager school where they explain that a small concession is worth it to retain a regular customer who brings groups of people in all the time. Even worse, when I eventually gave up arguing with him and I told him "fine, I'm done discussing this, I just won't be back here again" and turned back to my party, he continued pressing the issue (still explaining to me why it's unreasonable to return an item when you get something other than what you thought you ordered). I had to tell him at least three times "really, I don't want to talk about this anymore" and "please leave me alone" before he finally left the table. I hope the $40 in pretzels was worth losing my usual weekend group of 4 every few weeks, and groups like this one from my office (who were also there for the first time thanks to me) a 15 minute walk away - considering the restaurant is large and absolutely never full (with the exception of Euro/World Cup games apparently). I had looked forward to bringing the group of coworkers back regularly now that we're spending some time in the office again, but apparently my business is not worth that much to this guy. read more

Seem to have a great selection of German beers, wish their menu was more insightful on what each beer is like. We came on a Sunday, we sat in the side room on the long benches. The band playing was good but they were way to loud, they should have worked with the sound engineering of the room. Singer had the speakers up way to loud and didn't do justice to her great voice. Would come back for the good beer and good vibe read more

Quiet inside. Not terribly busy. Average menu prices. Ordered vegan wursf and latkes (server didn't know what latkes were).

Just average, chipped glass on the Manhattan they disnt remake drink, poured into new glass. Ordered a pretzel NO yellow mustard, only spicy mustard, WTH. Save your money, keep walking read more

Great food, but watch out for the size of the large pretzel. Wow, it was huge. Four of us could not finish it. The Warsteiner was excellent and so was the hot cider, especially being that it was freezing outside. read more

A good spot to chat with friends for a while over some food and drinks! This is a spacious eating hall with traditional German decor and plenty of seating. The servers were also dressed in traditional attire. They served large portions and the prices were reasonable a reasonable value, though I wish they scaled down both the portions and the prices. I got one of their sausage platters which was good but nothing too exciting. There was also a variety of interesting flavored beers like banana (it really did taste like banana!) and chocolate. read more

Came here to hang with my coworkers/friends. Loved hanging at this place. The huge halls and wooden furniture really brings together the German beer hall vibe. The waitresses were all very attentive and nice, we were seated fairly quickly and had our orders taken. Their menu had a variety of different beers and classic German food. We got a few of their huge pretzels and a couple different sausage dishes, all of which were phenomenal. They also had a good assortment of sauce to dip both the sausage and pretzels. I would definitely return here to hang with friends, the atmosphere and food definitely make it a fun place to visit. Sausages - Bratwurst and Bautenwurst Uber pretzel read more

Better than expected for a Santa Con trap, but also not quite my favorite: that said I'm still giving credit where it's due because I wasn't expecting much and it delivered in a few key places, namely: 1. Currywurst- perfect. No notes. Might as well be in Berlin 2. Beer- nice selection of a variety of German beers, as you'd expect - hats off for having the Schlenkerla rauchbier, it's the mezcal of brews 3. Gürkensalat was surprisingly good; authentic flavors, refreshing. Didn't see that coming. Wings were also surprisingly good: who knew mustard and Buffalo sauce were a happy pair? I was however dismayed to see wingettes only: I'm a flats girl, for life. So that was slightly heartbreaking. We lose a star for the lackluster käsespätzel-- it was just sort of a bland mush, like a sad German version of Stoffers Mac. But maybe people like that...? Not this girl. Still overall was surprised to find a good bite in this tourist trappy joint. Will come as long as it's off peak-- seems like a spot that would need to hose down the floors in busy times. read more

Came here on a whim with a group and... wow! I had my doubts coming in (how good could sausages and beer be?) but I was very much surprised by the food here. On initial glance, menu item prices were fine , if not slightly high but then the portions come out and you realize that the value is incredible. We ordered a party plate of sausages and that was more than enough for 6-7 of us and they were so juicy! Some of the best sausages I've ever had. The pretzels were to die for as well- so soft and pillowy. Beers and cocktails were great as well - i got the peach kitten which I would recommend. Certainly not a fine dining establishment but if you're looking for a great value casual eat with friends, can't pass this place up read more
