Von Trier Beer hall

I hadn’t been here since they started serving food, so when family was visiting and wanted to go out for German, we decided to try it. The atmosphere is just as I remembered - it actually feels like you’ve stepped into an old world beer hall in Germany, with painted murals and steins lining the walls. We got there during Happy Hour, when some drinks are $6, a great value. There was just one hardworking server, and several guys behind the bar, but when we asked one about drinks he suggested we just wait for the server to come to our table. Seemed like they could have helped her out. Everybody loved the food they ordered, sausages with delicious condiments like radish slaw and caramelized onions, spaetzle and sauerkraut, and fish fry with potato pancakes. Truly some of the best German food in a very German city.

I didn't have a full meal but we did have some great beers, managing to land during the happy hour to get a discount on the first round. Service was good. Our waitress got a little distracted by the group at the patio but was other was otherwise friendly and helpful. Great stuff. Beers? Cold and delicious. A lager for first round and second, the Weihenstephean hefeweizen that was perfect, served with a slice of lemon. Cheese curds? AMAZING. Super hot, fresh, flavorful and exactly what I expect in Wisconsin. And we also split the pretzel, it was tasty stuff. I preferred the mustard over the cheese sauce. Good stuff!

BEST CHEESE CURDS IN MILWAUKEE! My husband and I visited Milwaukee for a month and tried many different restaurants. By far, we loved the fried cheese curds here. We went twice in one month and loved all the food and drinks we got. The first time we brought our dog and sat outside. Also, didn't realize there was trivia nights on Thursday, was a fun surprise.

Good selection of German beers and the food was good! We ordered a pretzel, smoked trout dip, and a brat. The pretzel was nice and soft—probably one of the better ones I’ve had. The atmosphere is very German (obviously) and they have a small patio in the back when the weather is nice. It’s a cozy spot that has a lot of character.

Good food. Nice service. No veggie meats; the menu on their site says they have Impossible Burgers & Sausage, but they don't. It seemed like they were out of a lot of things.

Missed Milwaukee's Octoberfest but since we were determined to get German food, we stopped by this establishment due to the high ratings and reviews - glad we did for our first time! We dined in the later evening, the place dimmed, the interesting decor and stained glass windows glistening, the tv screens playing movies, the crowd small and subtle during our visit. Although they ran out of the braised short rib that night, the food we ordered (pictured) was great. The pretzel with cheese and mustard was larger than life and delicious, so definitely recommend ordering that. The chicken schnitzel plate: chicken was crispy yet tender (not dry), loved the gravy over the chicken and spatzel - would have loved more spatzel and gravy, but I surprisingly really liked the warm sauerkraut and red cabbage! The star of the show was the smoked Hungarian - bold meaty flavor and the bourbon barbecue sauce took it to the next level. Fries were good, too. Husband also ordered two glasses of beer to drink along with food. Service was fine, as it seemed to be only one female server tending to the small crowd at the time. She was nice, quick, and attentive. Overall, we were very satisfied and will visit again when in the area. Thank you, Von Trier!

Fun bar with an excellent big pretzel. Both the mustard and cheese dip were house made and excellent. The bartender/server was very friendly and accommodating.

Sitting at the bar shortly after open on a Saturday. Really cool vibe. Incredible selection of draft beers; mostly central Europe with some locals. Excellent service; friendly bartender, very well connected with the area brewing scene. Didn't eat there, so can't add a fifth star for food AND beverage, but I feel comfortable strongly recommending this bar.
