My partner and I chanced dinner without a reservation (with our backup burger plan already established), and I thought we'd be turned away but luckily it was just the two of us. This meant being confined to the window seats and ordering at the bar rather than table service but that's a small price to pay. People sitting on the other side were tastefully blocked by a partition of greenery which still allowed a degree of privacy. The place was abuzz with conversation, laughter and music so it was loud but not annoyingly so. After a good peruse over the menu; featuring schnitzels, pork knuckle and sausages to name a few, we settled on the Haus made pretzel, Texan schnitzel for my partner and the Bavarian tasting platter for me. We both LOVE warm pretzels with butter and these certainly did not disappoint. I could eat them all day! The schnitzel was a large portion my partner ultimately couldn't finish. The platter consisting of pork belly, sausages and schnitzel is a great introduction to the menu but also tested my stomach capacity. Washing it down with 500mls of Lowenbrau didn't help but it felt necessary for an authentic experience. Menu is on the expensive side but for an occasional splurge I don't think it will hurt. I certainly intend on returning and with a second one opening closer to home it has been made that much more tempting.

Okay, checkin was a bit annoying, but that was because I ended up here pretty early, and they don't do check-in until the afternoon. Still, the pub was pretty nice, the service excellent, and the rooms really comfortable.

Actually, it turned out that this was a pretty cool bar. In fact I'd suggest it goes beyond that to actually be a pretty awesome bar. Maybe it had something to do with the collection of craft beers on tap, or maybe it was just that the place really had that type of atmosphere that I simply love. Anyway, this certainly a great place for a drink.

Online it looks a lot nicer and more elegant. In reality it is somewhat dodgy. I wouldn't suggest it for a birthday or Christmas party unless you can decorate the hell out of it and have decent lighting. Also had other people walking through our group to get to the toilet which was annoying and probably so for them too. The pizza platters were disappointing but the other food I could see being served looked and smelled great.

One note; I am curious why the hot fries are still on the menu. A friend ordered them when I was eating with them, and she quite literally couldn't get past a single bite. Multiple of us also tried the fries and ended up having a pretty bad reaction. ITS SO HOT. A bit of a waste of money, and the menu had NO WARNING they were so hot. Our waitress didn't clarify when my friend ordered either. When we explained how hot they were she seemed unamused and said that's often how people react (like they can't eat more than a bite or two)

The problem with this place is the reservation system. We booked online (which was painful) and when we arrived there was no booking on their system for us. This place is regularly packed out so if we had intended to dine later, it is highly likely that we would missed out. The staff are well aware of this problem but nothing has been done to fix it. Book early and by phone if you wish to dine here as you planned.

Located on arguably Newcastle's best eat out street, Darby Street and great to see it adding another dimension to the variety of restaurants already on offer. Tastefully Austrian with beer flags and music, but not at all in your face. We ordered 4 different beers and I absolutely loved the different glasses for each. Pretzels to start that were warm; perfectly browned and salted on the outside and soft on the inside. My friend also got the pretzel stick served with a Camembert spread. Menu wasn't too foreign with my friend opting for the schnitzel, my partner the farmers plate and pork knuckle for me. My partner didn't like the amount of fat in his meal but for better or worse I ate every last piece of fat and meat I could scavenge from the knuckle. It was amazing! Ending the night with apple schnapps that were too strong for me but friend loved them. Both of us going traditional with the apple strudel and the Viennese iced coffee for my partner. He said the coffee was very strong with my friend swooping in again to finish it off. We are a good team like that! The bill was expensive at over $200 but I feel it was worth it. Made another booking already to take my Dad for Father's Day.

Although it's quite new, the decor feels a little tired. Some furniture might have be inherited from the old restaurant (Long bench). BUT, don't let this put you off. The food was delicious. We shared our meals and the waffles with ricotta and fresh fruit was one of the best breakfasts I've ever had in Newy. It was incredible! Service was good. Friendly, useful and sweet. Maybe a bit young and nervous but I'm sure after another few months she'll be great. The dinner menu looks well priced and delicious and so we'll definitely be back. A sophisticated take on lots of pork dishes. The back courtyard would be a nice place for an afternoon German beer, it looked like they had a selection on tap. Give this place a try next time you're on Darby St.
