Great German food, from the beer to pretzels and schnitzel, I enjoyed them all in a nice pub atmosphere.

Who doesn’t love an old pub. This place has been open since 1904 and supposedly the oldest in Detroit so had to check it out. Interior is great, food and drinks were perfect.

Love this place. Every time we go in dude with the long beard is super nice and strikes up a conversation with us when checking how things are. To feel like a regular when we only make it in 2-3 times a year is such a treat.
With that said, you really want to go for the food. The fries are amazing, fried pickle spears a delight, and everything else just perfect every time, with one exception.
The Impossible Burger does not need extra salt added, they are seasoned enough for the factory so maybe not add any like you would your regular patties.
Outstanding beer selection of you really only want a drink.

Plenty of options of imported beers. The atmosphere looks like a dive bar, and the food menu is pretty American/German focused. I would say more American than German though when it comes to food. Nonetheless, food was pretty good. If you’re looking for authentic German all around, I would pass. But a good imported beer and some bar food w/German options? Potato pancakes were the bomb.com!

From the moment I arrived, I noticed that is wasn’t really a big building. When you enter it was a beautiful place and the service was absolutely amazing. From the food the service, it raised the bar on the hospitality. Made me feel like I was at home as everyone had great things to say about. Would recommend to anyone that is just visiting and for anyone that are local. You will not be disappointed.

This is such a cool German bar that has one of the largest beer selections I’ve ever seen. We sat at the bar and service was great. We split a meatball spaetzel entree with an extra side of cabbage and everything was so delicious. We will definitely be back!

As someone who was born and raised in Baden-Württemberg Germany and was just there two years ago. I was looking for some good German food!
I seen a review that they had wiener schnitzel which is a primarily a Bavarian dish. I really wanted some! So my wife and I came downtown and was disappointed (I guess it was my fault for not reading the menu on line) They do not have wiener (veal) schnitzel they call it that but it is just schnitzel (pork) I guess they call it that because you get two cutlets instead of one when you order regular schnitzel. Now don’t get me wrong it was good. But when you’re expecting veal and you get pork , it kind of throws you off! I also read a review and the woman was complaining about the temperature of the beer. Here in the United States, beer is always served ice cold.However in Germany it is served at room temperature or slightly below, so it was not as off-putting to me. I would love to see someone in the United States do a traditional german salad instead of just american salads ( I miss them the most) but I have not found anyone who does! As for the atmosphere, it seemed a little dark and dank and there was a funky smell. Our waitress was fine but I did notice a table where the waitress seemed rude and short to the customers. Overall this is not German food it’s an american take on German food!

Outstanding restaurant! Great location near Renaissance Center. There are plenty of open and closed paid parking garages. I loved the decor of the place, like a historic place. Quick service, friendly staff. Family atmosphere, I visited one Sunday afternoon with kids and was perfect. TV’S, good music and most important thing the food was mouthwatering. Fresh ingredients and authentic German recipes. Highly recommend

Even on a busy St Patrick’s Day weekend, this place slaps. Had great chicken schnitzel and everything fresh, home made you can tell. Drinks were good and so was the server. Ask the bartender about going upstairs after your meal. Will deff be coming here again when I come back to Detroit

Fun place with German food and great beer and drinks. When its busy its busy. The staff are doing a lot of jobs so things can be a little slow. We had a good time but as we had never been there we had a lot of questions, I think that slowed our server down a bit which they didnt love.
