I had such a great experience at Sauf Haus thanks to Marlyn! She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect—friendly, attentive, and always with a warm smile. It’s rare to find someone who makes you feel so welcome while also keeping things efficient and professional. Marlyn really elevated the whole experience, and I’ll definitely be coming back because of the excellent service she provided. Highly recommend asking for her if you visit!

I had a great experience at Sauf Haus thanks to our amazing waitress, Marlyn. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure our drinks were always full without being overbearing. She handled a busy night with grace and made us feel welcome the entire time. Her recommendations were spot-on, especially the Green tea shots. You can tell she genuinely cares about giving great service. We’ll definitely be back—and hope to sit in her section again!

We enjoyed this place. Service was really good. Drinks were kind of expensive. Band was good. They have a retractable roof. I would recommend this place. UPDATE: We went back. Beer was $13. They added 20% gratuity, so be careful not to double tip.

Hands down the best bartender in town! I’m at Sauf Haus every weekend, and Janine always makes me feel like family. Her knowledge of craft beers is impressive, and her recommendations are spot on. But what really sets her apart is her warm smile, infectious enthusiasm, and top-notch service. Janine truly goes above and beyond to make every visit unforgettable. If you’re lucky enough to have her tend to you, you’re in for a treat. Five stars isn’t enough – I’d give her ten stars if I could!

new years eve event sucked. every staff member i interacted with was rude. music was disappointing. the event details online promised a complimentary drink if we arrived before 10pm, but bartenders didnt honor that. and the drink deals offered at the bar weren’t as cheap as what their website said. just completely lied to us lol. it also smelled horrible in there the whole time. vibes just sucked. only thing that made the night good was being with friends. dont come here if you wanna have a good time

Marlyn is the best bar tender I’ve ever had in my life. She is incredibly attentive and kind. Her costumer service skills are incredible and she truly made me feel at home. I will come back here for Marlyn.

We had a private event at Sauf Haus this month and had a fantastic experience! Kewin & and his team are wonderful to work with. Our guests had the best time. Can’t wait to do it again next year!

Tatiana was our bartender and she did a great job telling us about the different types of beers on the menu and recommended the Bavarian pretzel. Would 100% come back for the friendly service.

I highly recommend Marlyn, an outstanding bartender! Her warm welcome and attentive service make every visit special. She has an incredible knowledge of cocktails and always suggests the perfect drink. Marlyn’s attention to detail and ability to connect with customers truly elevate the bar experience. Thank you, Marlyn, for making every drink memorable!

Honestly just really disappointed. I bought tickets for Sauf Haus’s NYE event thinking that meant entry was guaranteed, but after waiting in line for over an hour we never even got inside. We were told they were already at capacity, which makes no sense if tickets were sold ahead of time. A place hosting a ticketed New Year’s Eve event should know exactly how many people they can let in. It was frustrating, felt poorly organized, and completely ruined our plans for the night. Not how anyone wants to start the new year.
