The Bier Haus

Please read all of my comments... Based upon the name of the restaurant, I had very high expectations for great German food and beer. This place does not really offer  much of either. However, the food was outstanding, beer selection is average at best. Please adjust your expectations and give this place a try.

A very interesting place, this Bier Haus.

The food was pretty decent, although I had a poutine (gravy-covered fries with cheese curds)  The curds didn't seem warm enough, and the potatoes were large jo-jo-type fries that didn't seem cooked enough.  I mentioned to the server who agreed that regular fries would be a better execution.  The other food that came to our table seemed to look nice.

The part that was bizarre was the karaoke (Friday night).  I had assumed Bier Haus was angling for an upscale Euro-american bistro feel, but the karaoke added a very awkward twist.  I will admit, I was dragged up to the microphone by some friends, but I still don't think it fits what I would expect for this type of restaurant, and it detracted from the atmosphere more than it added.

This place is great for a casual non-chain meal. I must say that on my first visit I was a bit disappointed that there wasn't much German fare. If you use the German spelling "Bier", own it! However, after trying the food, I have no complaints. Love that the chef puts twists on contemporary fare. Their sausages are super tasty. I've been a few times and have enjoyed my meal each time.

I saw one review saying the place was a hole in the wall. Now I have a husband who LOVES hole in the wall establishments. I assure you. This place is no hole in the wall. It's not fancy, but definitely a clean casual place to grab dinner. Give it a try!
