A dining room, a beer hall, and a beer garden —take your pick. Their massive list of beers focuses on German brews but has features many Texas brews too. As the Bavarian custom, two sizes are available: liter or half liter mug. My Munchen Hofbrau...Read More

Jason waited on us today. It was fabulous. We had the sausage sampler platter and it was delicious, what a cute place with a great lineup. Wish we were around on the weekend.. 100+ taps of beer in the bier garden. I WOULD RECOMMEND

It's covered, but there are very limited spaces if you can't find parking in this little parking lot that holds maybe 50 cars, you may have to look for parking on the street or somewhere nearby.

Really great beer hall in downtown New Braunfels. There's a ton of room to spread out between the beer hall and the outdoor biergarten. Great selection of German beers as well as some other Texas craft beers. Food was also solid! ...Read More

Very New Braunfels! Giant beer selection and excellent German fare, plus other options for kids or boring palates. Friendly local servers, can get busy, but enjoy your beer and it’ll come hot and ready to eat.

If you parked on the street, better pay thru the app. Usually don't go downtown anymore but they have a small amount of free parking.

Love this place. Great for groups and lots of seating inside and out. Got the fired chicken lunch special. Wouldn’t get it again but not bad. Been plenty times with other amazing items. Their sandwiches are the real way to go! We will be back!
