"Nein" Completely weird fake German beer hall. So many better and authentic experiences on the East side. In fact this whole area pretty much sucks. Avoid it This is not NY level service. It's both annoying and slow. An impossible feat managed by simultaneously asking someone what they want to drink immediately as they sit down and you are handing them them an extensive menu, when they obviously came into this bar for a wide variety of German beers, not some pedestrian choice. Then, you ignore them for 10 minutes and go talk to your coworkers. There is something very fake about the decor. It looks like a Disney attempt at a German Beer Hall. The beer selection is good though and they have large, traditional steins sizes of German beers -- 1L, 1/2 L, etc read more

Check out this place soon. The meal confirmed what others said. They provide just-made food arranged thoughtfully. In my experience, their employees excelled completely. We cannot wait to dine here again! read more

The existing comments about this restaurant match my experience exactly. The ambiance works for me. Their sweet creations are particularly impressive. Moreover, staff here showed warm attitudes and willingness to help. I'd visit again and tell my friends to try it. read more

Lots of fun! Great atmosphere. Excellent beer selection (of course). Reasonably priced. Waitress was really the only bad part. Zero personality. Zero enthusiasm. Zero anything. I 100% recommend this place. read more

Really cool beer hall with vegan options, not sure I need to say more. All the beers tasted like they came out of a freshly tapped keg and the vegan sausage and sauerkraut were awesome. I ordered a side of fries instead of the potato salad because I wasn't sure if there was broth or dairy involved. Highly recommend reserving a table if you're bringing friends or if there's a big football/soccer game on. read more

We saw a sign advising the beer garden on the street and decided to stop in for a beer. The interior was very much like a beer garden with some long benches for communal seating. They had a nice selection of beer and German food. We sat at the bar and were waited on immediately. We did not eat there so I cannot attest to the food but it looked good. read more

This restaurant exemplifies the best. The area around this restaurant offers after-dinner activities. The meals feature fresh components and excellent taste. Her positive demeanor really enhanced my time there. Not one disappointed customer in my experience. read more

Bit of a scam with the invoice. Not big dollars, but not an above-board experience. Waitress presented a copy of the bill, which I reviewed, and which was correct. When she later brought the credit card terminal, it showed a higher amount. In the interim, she had added a "surcharge" to the bill for no apparent reason and certainly with no explanation. Food was just okay...certainly not great. Beer was good, though. read more

This place delivers quality that speaks for itself. The restaurant personnel are wonderful! Their cooking lacks attention to detail. This spot has perfected its ambiance. I'm wholly satisfied with this spot. read more

I went to Reichenbach Hall for lunch and had a hearty German meal. It felt very authentic. When you walk in you hear the music playing. I ended up getting the Nurnberger Wurstel - Pork and Veal. I also had potato Salad, Red Cabbage and Sauerkraut. The sausages and potato salad were my favorites. I was so full after eating this great meal! read more

Good experience at this German Beer Hall...great atmosphere to catch a game. The patrons were very hyped during the football (american soccer) game that was showing while we were there. Very loud. Lots of longer style tables, both lower and bar-stool leveled. Also some smaller round tables toward the front. There is also an outdoor seating (sidewalk) area currently. Beers (1/2 liter) are about $11-13. (Full liters are roughly twice the price). A bit pricey but not much more than other beer-serving places in Manhattan. Beer was a tad flat (2 out of the 3 we ordered). Didn't get any food, but lots of large pretzels going out. Must be a popular item. Sausages too! Servers were very busy...very straight-to-the-point ordering. read more

Hey, the vibe and German music were great. But the sauerbraten was tough, and the potato dumplings were cold. And the server was either too busy or not interested in our table. read more

A good place to stop in and get bier in a large German beer hall environment. It is located right next door to the 3 Marriott hotels (Vacation Club, Springhill suites, Fairfield Inn) on 37th street in midtown Manhattan. It has a large selection of German beers and wasn't too crowded in the late afternoon on a Thursday. We shared a Warsteiner Oktoberfest 1/2 liter ($12), which went down great on a hot NYC summer day. read more

Would be a decent place for a drink if they sorted out their cooling situation. After work drinks with colleagues. Good selection of beer and bar bites. Love the giants benches and tables, as I hate standing around in bars. Unfortunately, they either don't have or choose not to use air conditioning indoors. Sure, it wasn't too hot but this is a silly thing to have to deal with. The indoor space was pretty empty, so it's likely that other people felt the same way. Otherwise, the place is fine. The staff costumes are a little cheesy but it's just silly fun that helps it stand out a little bit more. read more

A great place to spend an afternoon and pretend you're in the middle of Munich and not Manhattan. The location on 37th is spacious and outside dining offeres tables and picnic style seating like you would find in an authentic biergarten. The pretzel with cheese was awesome, and the chicken schnitzel lunch plate was delicious. My mom got the pork schnitzel and it was so dry she had a hard time cutting it, much less eating it. All in all, you really come here for the ambiance and to have some litres with friends. Prost! read more

I am German and the food is appalling! I mean sth as simple as a curry wurst is not rocket science! But they somehow managed to make it taste disgusting! The bratwurst was cut up and then fried and the "curry sauce" was a bad ketchup with one swig of curry powder on it! The sausage is served without anything else (no roll)????! For 17$ I added fries and a coke and came out to 26$ for this horror show! Never again!!! I mean I live in NYC and I have had German food here this place is not even close... read more

Came here on a weekday for lunch. Large hall was empty except one other family. Two female servers present dressed in traditional clothing cut to show cleavage, one was more friendly than the other (our primary server). Took a bit long to get our food, especially considering the lack of diners. Food was hit and miss. Cheeseburger and fries, bratwurst were good. The curry wurst was so-so. Wasn't crazy about the tomato curry sauce on top. The red cabbage and sauerkraut were a bit too sour for me and tasted the same without much flavor other than the sour taste. Bratwurst plate portion was pretty big with two large sausages. The lager was pretty good and glass was huge for a small. I would return for the schnitzel and beer but otherwise might not be back. read more

I have always walked by here but never came inside. We decided to grab some drinks after dinner here. The place is very spacious and it's not too loud. Good place to grab drinks and catch up! I also love beer so this is a good spot. It's basically a beer hall like houston hall. We came here on a thurs night; it wasn't too crowded but it wasn't empty either. read more

Good beer selection, friendly service. Food quite good. Place is very noisy but it is a Rathskeller after all,

My wife and I were there on Sat Night Sept 14 for Dinner. Food was good and Beer was what we expected. Why this review? We let the server take our CC to start a tab. Did not think much about it until overnight our CC started getting Fraud transactions trying to send money oversee. Lucky our CC Vendor catch this and flagged our card. This was the one and only time our CC was out of our possession while in NY. If you go, do not allow staff take your CC to open a tab. We have our receipt and know who served us. Lucky is did not getting disrupt our time there, but this is a warning to all. PS. I never post reviews before as if we don't like we don't go back. This one required a review. Beware. read more

Came here for lunch with coworkers. I was a bit hesitant as first as typically this I sent my first choice of food to eat plus I don't eat meat. I was able to get the fish meal. The fish schnitzel as decent flavor. I got a mocktail I forgot the name of it but it was not good it tasted like an old watered down flat ginger ale. All and all had an ok time read more

German beers and food, with excellent service, To start off the German experience starts as you enter, you are greeted with - "Willkommen" which means Welcome, the bar is long and has full service , inside of the restaurant is well planned with many tables that look like log benches, also have outdoor seating, the waitresses are dressed up in a dirndl and really gives the Native German vibes, the menu items are listed in German with English descriptions of course. Special mention is for the quantities of Beer that you can order and at a reasonable price. A liter or half liter. Huge Bavarian pretzel tastes so good must try, also the sausage platter with pickles is a good combination with your choice of beer. Will visit again when in NYC, recommend for bier lovers. read more

Pains me to say this as this is my favorite place to watch a Germany match - but just like Die Mannschaft, what worked in 2014 isn't necessarily working anymore. The problem with the place and the lower stars for my review is their technology (TVs / Projectors) are still from 2014 and aren't HD and look like crap. Sound isn't great either (I saw the waiter turn the volume up to 100 - full blast, and still couldn't understand the commentary at times). Adding to the fact that the TV's are mounted pretty high up above the bar (and regular definition - not HD), the picture isn't the best. Atmosphere is solid for Germany matches and fans celebrate together, so there's that. But really wish they would upgrade their TVs / Projectors / Sound system properly. The beers are great (albeit quite pricey) - the food is decent and the options are plenty for authentic German choices you might find in Germany (but the currywurst was just ok to be honest - I was expecting better). Schnitzel is really good! Brats are solid. read more

This place has great food and beer. My kind of place. Now, add to that this place has Jack. Jack is the man! I wasn't sure if this gentleman is the owner with the level of passion he brings or he's just that dedicated to his role. Either way, Jack made us feel very welcome, he was very knowledgeable about the beers and he was invested in making sure we had the best experience. Hats off to Jack. We already make it a point to come visit each time we are in NYC, but now it'll be to hopefully get the Jack experience again. read more

Perfect place to celebrate our son's 21st birthday. The people were fantastic. The food was great. The drinks were reasonable and served with great fanfare- get the ski shot. Kudos to the manager and his team. They took good care of us. We've been here several times as a family, but this was a particularly special evening and they really delivered. Also, the cake was awesome! Bravo everyone. read more

This German restaurant has a great ambiance, it really does feel like a little slice of Germany, from the decor to the music. We came on a Thursday around 9pm, and there was no wait and plenty of space, which was nice. Unfortunately, they were already out of pretzels, which was disappointing. We each had one drink (which was solid!) and ended up leaving soon after. Would love to come back earlier to try more of the menu! 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

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

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
