Bavarian Bierhaus

Finally getting around to reviewing a place I've been to a number of times. It's very close to where I live. Overall, you can get some tasty German food and good beer here.Be forewarned that the open beer hall area can get quite loud. It's sort of the point, I suspect, being so open with the long tables, big televisions, and bar. But when it's really hopping, it's hard to hold a conversation with a group of any reasonable size.Is there better German food in Milwaukee? Certainly...but it's really pretty tasty and you get good portions (for those of us happy to take home leftovers). Their beers are nothing amazing, as compared to so many excellent breweries in Milwaukee, but there's nothing bad about them either. Just dependable.All in all, a solid place. Definitely a good choice for a post-work happy hour too.

We frequent the Bavs Beirhaus, and most often I love the experience. They are so darn family-friendly and it's clearly appreciated by many - come here at 5pm on a Friday and it's basically family hour. Such a big beer hall, with the largest of tables, tons to eat on their menu, and most often, live music. We loved the latest duo who played accordion and a few other little instruments. They even invited kiddos on stage to play with other instruments they brought - so fun. The server was really sweet, and everyone was very attentive. Good brews too, per usual. The bummer this time around was the food for me. I ordered the baked cod and it didn't live up to $21 expectation in the least. Sadly, it lacked flavor, was kind of tough, and not at all hot. I found myself smothering it in lemon and tartar to make up for it, but in the end, I couldn't finish it. The other bummer was the kids mac n cheese. In the past, it's been a great portion of great quality, but on recent visits it's appeared to be the Kraft kind out of the box. Always hope to have a little something extra when dining out, vs what we can just get at home.We're always look forward to coming here with friends and family (!!), but the food can be a little hit or miss.

Bavarian Bierhaus is a big rambling place near Bayshore that's done a great job recreating a proper Bierhall and making it accessible to a lot of different groups. The Bavarian Soccer Club makes this their home base, several cultural groups meet & have events here and they host the city's best Oktoberfest in their enormous and well equipped Biergarten (now open all summer). In addition to all this, there's a large restaurant/bar that has festhälle communal seating, several private rooms for parties and a big bar. Food is pretty good honestly - you get giant serving sizes so plan to take home leftovers. Staff is good too - even when the place is slammed they work hard to take care of you. Expect live music on weekendThe Mister is pretty involved in the German community so I'm here regularly - it's a nice place with nice people and always a good time!

Very friendly and inviting environment. The food was great but my favorite was the pretzel coated cheese curds. It was simply finger liking good. I would pass on the salad next time. It was just arugula and tomatoes. I'll get extra cheese curds if I could.

8/12024 Ok Bavarian Bierhaus! Ya'll got a good fish fry!!!First time visiting and glad I finally did. It was a bit noisy, but they did have live music. I would like to visit again soon. Our server was good also. Got seated right away by a very friendly hostess.

I have been twice and both times I was impressed by the service and the ambiance! The food wasn't bad either and I couldn't believe I hadn't been to the Bierhaus sooner, especially since I live nearby! There is plenty of room for large parties and although I haven't gotten a chance to bring my kids, it seems like it would be a great place for the kiddos to come along. The beers are aplenty and the German fare is abundant. Get a giant pretzel for your table and you can never go wrong with a burger!

So glad I finally got to eat here! This was my third try and it finally worked out. (One time was during Octoberfest and the other was when there was a soccer tourny, and it was impossible to park... much less get in the doors). This time it wasn't that busy and we got got a nice seat on one of the large picnic tables in the beer hall. Our waitress was decked out in a traditional German outfit. Wasn't very much in the personality department, but she did a good job taking care of us. Not a big beer drinker, but I figured I better have a mug to fit in! Check... had my beer, and I honestly couldn't tell you if it was good or bad.... But I enjoyed having a mug in a beer hall! The best part of our meal was the Bavarian baked onion soup. It was very good! My wife had the sandwich with chicken schnitzel and ham... that too was very good and I would highly recommend both. My Jagerschnitzel was above average, could have had more gravy. But the spatzel that came with it was tasty. I loved the live German band that serenaded us during our meal. It was a three person band that played all the oompah-pah music you would expect in a German restaurant. Had a lot of fun, food was good and so was the entertainment. Worth stopping in.

This has been a long time book and new restaurant of the week today. First off this isn't just a restaurant it's a complex with a huge open restaurant and bar with a 2nd dining room in back and a 3rd bar and dining in back, soccer field, patio, back building with an open October fest area with plenty of tables. Seating is family style with long open booths. The bar is huge with plenty of seating.I took the table with the window seat over looking the parking and the sports field. I started with a Bloody Mary which was pretty sparse topping with a pickle cube, olive and short meat/cheese stick. The Bloody was good and a little spicy. I ordered the build your own schnitzel = pork schnitzel, jager mushroom gravy with buttered spatzel. Service was a little slow but I'm not complaining because hundreds of people were in this huge space during a packers game.My food came quicker than I expected and it looked great. The spatzel was good but bland so I added some salt for seasoning and it was good. The mushroom gravy was bland also with no real rich flavor topped with mushrooms. The pork schnitzel was cooked to order with a very crispy crust and a nice pork flavor but bland also was the theme so I seasoned with salt and it was good after it was seasoned.Overall I had a great German style lunch in a nice atmosphere especially when you think about how many German restaurants have disappeared in the us over the last few decades and I can only think of two left in Milwaukee area.

Food was good and we were served quickly! The benches were a little close to the tables which made it uncomfortable and a tight fit so if you are a large person it is very tight! choose your table wisely.. food was good!

Get someone to answer the phone for the love of god. Get one of the seventeen year olds standing at the hostess desks texting their friends to pick up.
