A bar with a large selection of rare Belgian beers is my kinda place! (Can't help it. Am Belgian, so a beer snob. Avoid the German & the American stuff. Trust me :-)

Brian McAdams

Crowd is either 20 years older or 20 years younger than me! Great European beer selection . And across from the greatest bar in town !! The Midtown German Festival shoud be a barn burner!

Clad in a Black Forest 's worth of reclaimed wood, an indoor beer garden in Midtown complete with self-service beer taps . Read more

Dean Haynie

Great beer list . Lots of weird beards, but that's not surprising. Guy dressed in full on civil war general's outfit, that was a first. Must of been the Craft Brewer's Conference that was in town .

Sergio Diggs

The Bauernwurst was amazing and the several brews I had were too! Thanks to this place, I'm only going to be able to look at 3 cars in a row before bathroom visits at the carshow!

John Khuu

Surprisingly good beer list . Girls are all dressed with laced stockings and high shorts . Also, they're all NICE people too! Enjoy the brew and view .

John Lopez

Get the platter! The beer list here is extensive. It's friendly and tends to get a little crowded but it's well-worth the trip!

Casey Barnett

Good pub but a few beers leave you wanting more. Ask you bartender before deciding you know better that them. A little trust will save you some cash and skunk a bad beer .

Bre Bonner

The food was delicious. Some of the staff wasn't as great. It seems like a place where if you sit at the bar you'll have a really great time.

Angelica Dongallo

A handful of the draught beers are from PA. Cool feature is that you can purchase a bar key for $25 and have access to a selection of beers by the oz.

Ben Ostrander

Great beer list and great wurst . Sit in the back on a nice for a big open window and nice breeze.

Marie Piraino

Great selection of rotating, interesting craft beers . Knowledgable bartenders . Cozy and warm, like a log cabin in the middle of center city !

Joe Perry

Great place for craft beers , domestic and foreign. Catch a soccer game, or just enjoy any wurst platter. To go anywhere else is the wurst .

Brian Masefield

If you can't find a beer here, it probably doesn't exist. Great space - they even have "self serve" options.

Adrienne Chen

How the beer wall works: buy a key for $5, load it up then skip the line at the bar and head straight to the wall to pour your own beer .

Everyday

German sausages and to wash it down, a nice German beer . Ambiance ranges from quiet to rowdy depending on sporting events .

Gary Noe

A very good selection of beers , the food is totally awesome, nice seating and very good service .

Gary Noe

This is one of my favorite bars . Great service, awesome beer selection , and good food.

Kat Swift, PMP

the currywurst is phenomenal! I'm a Berliner so I know good currywurst - trust me ;)

Jason

Fun place on a weekend night in Center City

Ben Lohmann

Awesome food, lots of beer (including a self-serve station!) and environment.

Mooney Mj

Where else can you sample different beers from a self-serve wall and keep the beer tap key?!

Matt Fowler

The most amazing beer list in the world, surely, maybe the universe .

Pilgrim ????

Great happy hour prices and GREAT beer selection . LOVED it here.

Betty Mak

Great beer ! They also have a checkered table that you can play checkers on with their bottle caps.

Chris Siaplay

Cool spot was surprised how good their apple cider beer was ( I barely drink)

Marianna Hunter

Bratwurst is amazing. Potato salad is also really good

Mike

The liverwurst sandwich is outstanding. Simple, German, delicious.

RC

$5 Cocktails TBA $4 Wine TBA $3 Beers TBA Half-Priced Appetizers TBA

Charles Miller

Be careful at the beer wall , they're still working out the kinks!

Dave Richard

Really expensive , but amazing for what you pay for. I would welcome more drinks in the $5-12 range, though....

Reese

Ask for your veggie burger to be cooked well done or else it will be mushy like mine was ☹️

Tim K.

They respond quickly to customer feedback..give them a shot for good beer and German fare!

Leonard Hanson

Beer very good, but food deeply disappointing to those who know the real thing.

Jason Cosper

Great beer selection and solid food!

Concierge

Smartphone dying? They have outlets at the bar !!! Who needs a coffee shop ?

Rita

I am not a spaetzle girl but theirs is delicious...a must try.

Mackenzie Walker

Great beers but the crowd is the WURST !!

Valerie Dee

You order your beer on iPads docked on the wall!

Ariel Wu

$5 mussels happy hour special !

Michael Dylan Ferrara

Great for broing out...wouldn't go on a first date there tho ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ann M

Great beer selection . Eat before you get here, though, menu leaves much to be desired.

Campbell Bird

This place is pretty inconsistent. They also told me they had a $20 minimum on cards during sips, which is insane.

Marcella

Beer and snacks I love it

Jessica W

Great beer , but as for the food it is nothing like German! Don't waste your money unless your drunk and don't care... Don't get me wrong it taste good... But it is NOT German!!

Kenneth Vaughan

Burgers , gravy fries

Yoel Roth

Pretty good beer selection , but the crowd unfortunately tends to be a little frat-tastic.

J Donmoyer

Not my scene... Too many unnaturally hairless men drinking blue moon and women afraid to eat sausage for a German biergarten .

Mary D.

Try the Oktoberfest beer

Cassie P

Don't get the green apple beer . Smells funky
