    The Bavarian Bierhaus is a family-friendly, authentic Bavarian beer hall with an impressive amount of space! The main beer hall seats up to 400 guests, while the fest hall can accommodate up to 1,800. There are multiple seating areas both indoors and outdoors, making it a great spot for gatherings. A quick note about our experience: I made a reservation through OpenTable for a Tuesday evening for six people. When we pulled into the parking lot, the massive digital sign out front said, "Closed on Tuesdays." I about had a heart attack- but then the sign changed to "Now open Tuesday-Sunday." Not confusing at all... but at least they were actually open! As for the food, it was just okay--nothing to write home about and not the best German food I've had. We ordered the pretzel, meat and cheese tray, pierogi with smoked sausage, and the goulash with spätzle. None of us ordered dessert afterwards. Overall, the Bavarian Bierhaus offers a fantastic space with plenty of seating, but the food was just okay. It's worth a visit for the atmosphere and beer!

    This is the second time I’ve been to Bavarian Bierhaus. The first visit was much better. I’m not sure if it’s because it’s Lenten season, so it was crazier for a Friday fish fry, but it was crowded and loud. It took at least 10-15 minutes before a server finally came over to us and didn’t apologize for the excessive wait. And we made a reservation. The food took a while, though it tasted good. The polka music was still the best part. She’s a gem; people should clap more for her.

    Family was in town, including daughter who is a Wisconsin native, and it was a perfect place to gather young (grandsons) and old (grandparents). Highly recommended.
