Best bar on the East Side! Great staff, great food, great specials. The outside area is nice, weather permitting. They also have free popcorn!One of the best pretzels in Milwaukee - the cheese and mustard are so good. Trivia on Thursdays is always fun and a good group.

Great beer and steins, great service, great ambiance, great pretzel! This place came highly recommended while my friends and I were planning a trip to Milwaukee. We came on a Friday afternoon, so it was very quiet - but I can see how this place would fill up quickly and be lively in the evening or on the weekend!Unfortunately, the cheese curds were so incredibly salty we couldn't even finish them - which is so sad, because we had heard such great things about them.

The beer list here is great authentic German beer and the food is nothing to be slept on! It's a great place to stop for dinner or just a beer. The inside has these huge murals that add to the aesthetic, it's a fun place to get a drink and the staff is always friendly!

Popular local pub with good fish fry and mulled cider. They also have mulled wine and other hot drinks, perfect for winter. It's definitely a louder place, but if you go earlier in the afternoon it's more chill.

I enjoy the casual atmosphere and solid food of Von Grier. Good pretzel, nice schnitzelplates. I did have a satisfactory, but underwhelming take on a Caesar salad- for $13 I had hoped for more. We did order the brat- again, underwhelming. Stick to the schnitzel plates. This was my second visit- I'll return if convenient.

I didn't have a full meal but we did have some great beers, managing to land during the happy hour to get a discount on the first round.Service was good. Our waitress got a little distracted by the group at the patio but was other was otherwise friendly and helpful. Great stuff.Beers? Cold and delicious. A lager for first round and second, the Weihenstephean hefeweizen that was perfect, served with a slice of lemon.Cheese curds? AMAZING. Super hot, fresh, flavorful and exactly what I expect in Wisconsin. And we also split the pretzel, it was tasty stuff. I preferred the mustard over the cheese sauce. Good stuff![Review 20435 overall - 213 in Wisconsin - 1415 of 2023.]

Good heavens - okay. Guys. I have never reviewed VT and why have I not?!? It's amazing. Ambiance, amazing food, service and drinks. Husband says best old fashioned in MKEMe, best SOUP in MKE !!!!Best hidden soup gem of you ask me!! Especially since I have been crying over soup brothers again this year. Please support this wonderful establishment. It's an institution to MKE and the east side. Plus, everything is absolutely top notch enjoyable through and through.

Great bar food, awesome service and just a nice place to chill. The server was on top of tje game and we never had to look for her. Drinks were refilled and we added more food after our initial serving and she was right there.

After spending a $100 for lunch at the other Milwaukee famous German restaurant for a cocktail, soup, entree with tip and being disappointed lacking seasoning and flavor I thought that I would stop here for lunch. The website says lunch starts a 1pm on Sunday so I go in and Peter informs me that they changed it to 2pm, great now I'm here and I have to wait an hour so Peter says he is sorry but if you come back in an hour he would comp me my drink of choice.The place is absolutely beautiful with the German theme with a nice big bar surrounded by tables and chairs. In back they have a dedicated dining room. Peter was a man of his word and before I could finish with the rest room and sit down my Gin Rickey was on the bar waiting for me. The new menu is on the small side but I knew that I would have the Jagerschnitzel entree.The jagerschnitzel is a pork loin with panko breading, herbed spatzel, brat gravy and seasoned vegetables. My plate looked amazing and the seasoned vegetable was asparagus which is my favorite. First off the seasoned asparagus was the star of the plate and I wish I knew how they make it because it was so delicious, ,seasoned nicely with a char grill flavor. The spatzel had good texture and was very good as well. The jagerschnitzel was tender and tasty with a crispy panko breading. The brat gravy had can mushrooms which was still good with a slight rich sharpness and tasty. WOW this plate was very good and nicely arranged.Compared to that other well known German restaurant in Milwaukee the food here was way better and tastier at a fraction of the price. I would definitely recommend the plate I had for lunch.

Totally worth the trip! The interior is warm and inviting, whether you choose the bar or the dining room. They also have a patio, which would be great in the summer. We were greeted promptly and the wait staff was very attentive. The beer selection was fantastic! There is a happy hour every day 4-6 with great deals. The cheese curds were hands down, the BEST ever! Seriously, try them. The appetizers pair perfectly with the beers and there are suggestions on pairings on the menu. Overall, a great experience- can't wait to go back!
