    We really enjoyed our time here. It was Easter and they had a special menu just for the day. It was cute and a nice touch. Even though it was busy the service was still really good and the food was cooked perfectly. We enjoyed all our dishes and the dessert was amazing. Best of all their desserts are made there.

    Add some zest in your life and grab yourself a margarita! It was tasty!

    I popped into Auburn Alehouse to check out the hype and watch the NFL games. I walked in and was told the bar was open seating. There were many seats and lots of their beer on draft. There were also high top tables behind me. Anthony was my bartender. He was patient with me as I looked over their beer menu. I went with the Gold Digger IPA. It was very tasty! My friend joined me and got the My Friday Hazey IPA. That one was even tastier. I also indulged in a margarita. I am not a fan of table salt on the rim, though. I like the flaky rocky salt better. We did decide to get a snack. Their brew house pretzels and it comes with bacon crumbles, Old Town Brown beer cheese, and spicy mustard. I thought it was supposed to come with crumbled bacon and scallions on top of the pretzel, but what I received was a pretzel, plain with salt. I guess the bacon crumbles were on top of the beer cheese??? No scallions, though. I was not a fan. These pretzels were not soft and fluffy. Although salted, the pretzel itself didn't taste good. Our bartender, Anthony, said it may have been overcooked. So they took it off our bill. My bartop neighbor and her husband got burgers... and I would definitely be interested in trying those next time! They looked picture perfect!

    Omg! This place was unreal! Get their fried pickles they might change your life. Loved my burger too and the Mac and cheese! Hit the spot. Great drinks as well.

    Sat at the bar on this visit and we were treated swiftly by the bar tender. We sampled the following, Basil Hayden Old Fashioned, Pilsner and a charcuterie board. The board contained a grilled bratwurst, smoked cheddar, bacon jam, pickled onions ,crostini toast, stone ground mustard. All well prepared and plenty for both of us to share. Couple of new beers on tap, sampled a taster of the Rev Limit Pilsner & the Mrs tried a sample of the stout. High quality beer, cocktail's food and service.

    We came here with a group of 6 in the middle of the day on Friday. We were told our wait would be 30 minutes. After 55 minutes we went inside to ask for an update and were told we would be next. Another 15 minutes later we were finally seated. Our server Alexis was genuinely sweet and amazing. She took great care of us even though she mentioned she was not feeling well and would be leaving soon. Once she left our new server was Courtney. The service completely changed. She was short with us from the start and barely came around. She acted like she would rather be anywhere else. Food wise the cheese bread was burnt and the kids burger was also burnt but everything else we ordered tasted great. When we asked for the check and asked Courtney to split it she said okay then came back with an unsplit check. Before we could even say anything she placed it on the table and walked away quickly. I had to get up and ask the host to pass on the message. From our table we could see the POS system and watched Courtney roll her eyes shake her head at us and at the check. She then dropped the check back on our table without a single word. This was my second time coming here and it will probably be my last. The first time I was here we were sat in the back and forgotten about. The food is good (other than the burnt bread) but the service is consistently disappointing. This place feels over hyped and the employees clearly need support and training

    Driving through Auburn is the best because you get to stop for lunch at the awesome Auburn Alehouse! Today we had the Ahi tacos & the Alehouse Burger. Zero complaints. DEFINITELY WORTH THE TRIP! I got the ahi tacos seared & the waitress let me do the different slaws on each taco. Plus it came with wonton chips. Will eat this again. Every time they have an ahi option it's always delicious! & my lady got the burger cooked medium with fries. She LOVED it!

    Shanghai Nachos
    Joye S.

    It's been awhile and I'm reminded why I need to come more often! Phenomenal food. Very friendly and helpful staff. Only ding tonight was the ahi nachos. Miss the Shanghai Nachos of the past. Glad to see the Shanghai sauce back and available to add in some extra but more cucumber and tomato than the ahi

    This restaurant was worth the stop, very neat place. The little town itself was so beautiful. We had some beers, which were all delicious, and some appetizers. Service was excellent, but the hostess was not so friendly, it was not busy so I'm not sure what her deal was. Would still come back to try more of their menu items.

    Came here unexpectedly and was pleasantly surprised by how beautiful the interior is--especially sitting by the windows with a great view. Unfortunately, after waiting about 15 minutes without being greeted, my partner and I decided to move to the bar instead. We had a couple of drinks, which were reasonably priced, and the staff at the bar was welcoming and friendly. We didn't try the food, as a nearby guest ordered a fish dish that had a noticeably strong odor, which turned us away. Overall, it's a great spot to enjoy a drink. Parking can be tricky during peak hours, but they do offer both indoor and outdoor seating.

    Fried pickles
    Jennifer F.

    Went to Auburn Ale house with my daughter after the dmv on a day date. Our waiter was super friendly and we sat out on the covered patio. The fried pickles were great! The Reuben sandwich and it was yummy. My daughter got the spinach salad and she loved it. It's a great little pub and we are more than likely to pop in again if we are in the Auburn area. Wish I took more pictures.

    Espresso tini it was so good
    Monica M.

    We meaning my husband and I and came in for the first time Today with 2 friends we shared the garlic bread loaf it was good but definitely needed more sauce on the bottom but it tasted so good. I also got the espresso tini I do wish there was a vanilla fome on top of it even with the beans but even without it, it was so good. My husband and our friends got different beers. Our service was really good other then when they made my husband just hardly out of the way mind you the bar was very full and so was the restaurant like there was no room at all and the lady said it to him in a rude way. The bathrooms were somewhat clean, it was also nice that they had the football games on. We came in at close to 1:30pm in the afternoon time and our bill was over $100s with everything. We do plan on coming back and trying different things.

    Where to park?

    We parked on the street, right across from the restaurant.No problem.

    Is there room for a group of ten?

    Yes, but with a group that large, you might want to call ahead to make a reservation otherwise you might experience a wait.

    How much are the growlers and 22s?

    Hi! The growlers of beer all vary in price depending on the beer; for example the PU240 Imperial IPA will be a bit more in price due to more hops, higher alcohol, etc. The growler prices typically range from $18-$25. Crowlers are also available now… Read more

    Are dogs allowed?

    Yes! They have a great patio for dogs and always bring out dog bowls with water for us. The patio is pretty well enclosed and off the street. We love bringing our pups here.

    Does the Auburn Alehouse still offer bottomless mimosas?

    Hello, As of February 2021 we are offering Bucket of Mimosa which gives you the whole bottle!

    Music on the weekends?

    Unfortunately, no. That's a great suggestion though!

We were seated in the patio in the shade, so it wasn't too insufferably hot on this very sunny, warm day. Jägerschnitzel is my go-to at German restaurants and the one at Kathrin's is one of the best I've had to date. My plate was generous and the jägerschnitzel was tender, the spätzle was too, and the mushroom gravy that topped the jägerschnitzel was just so good. I cleaned my plate. I also got one of their small pretzels to start the meal and loved how soft and chewy it was, and the mustard had a good punch of spice. I thought it was cool that their pretzels are sourced from a local Bavarian factory. The only thing I wasn't a big fan of was the dressing on the green salad that comes with the jägerschnitzel. I'm really not sure what it was and can't say I've had anything else that tastes like it before, but it was strong and I was good after just a few bites. However, that wasn't enough to ruin the meal for me with as good as that jägerschnitzel was. While I was only here because I was visiting family who live in the area and recommended this place, I'd be happy to return if my family wanted to come back on a future visit.

We found that they served the dinner menu all day and there was no lunch menu. We ended up ordering the Oktoberfest platter, which it was made up of five sausages, schnitzel, red cabbage, sauerkraut and french fries. 4 of the 5 sausages were extremely dry and over cooked. Schnitzel was dry and flavorless. It seemed as if they had heated everything up in a microwave. Overly hot and very dry. Happy hour started at 3PM and we arrived at 2:45. That would have given us a discount on food and beer. But we figured oh well, our bad for not realizing. We commented on it to the bartender / server, like "oh darn" and he didn't really react. It was not like we expected to get the happy hour prices, we were just commenting. Then, unfortunately, we overheard him talking to two men at the bar, saying "I waited until 3PM to ring up your beers because I wanted to give you happy hour price." Yikes! Why not us? (Only us and these two gents inside at the time. There was a handful of people at outside tables.) We are disappointed because we had enjoyed them before and they are the closest restaurant to us serving German food. The food and the service that day are not very motivating to return.

    If you ask me for places that stand out in the greater Reno-Tahoe region brew scene, The Good Wolf…read morewould be near the top of the list. For years now, I've been saying these guys make some of the best, most unique beers in our area. And anyone looking for a solid pint or some creative things to try, would do well to swing by. Firstly, I absolutely love the location. It's a cozy little spot in the north Truckee industrial area. But step through the doors, and you enter a space that can only be described as a mix of hippy commune and witch's lair, with some delightfully quirky decor, and an incredibly friendly staff. Really does feel like a hidden gem. But as for r the beers themselves; in short, I think these are some of the best quality, and most niche types of brews you'll find around here. They have a smaller menu, but what they have is dominated by their Forest Beer series. These are concoctions made with all sorts of foraged ingredients from the forests, fields, and farms close to Truckee. Always changing, it is something to try out. The Borrowed Bines used fresh cut hops, the Bay Shore uses locally culled bay leaves, the Range of Light uses picked juniper berries, and the Dirt Candy uses mushrooms that grow in the woods. They also have been breaking into brewing their own apple cider, which is delicious but quite strong. Plus, they will usually have N/A options with their house lemonade or brewed soda on tap, too. So yeah, the menu almost certainly has something for everyone. Prices for everything are pretty typical.for the area, usually around $8-9 per pint. Though my one sort of gripe is that the smaller 4-5 ounce tasters are like $4 each, a bit pricier than most other tasters, so that makes it quickly more pricy to try out a lot of their menu. If you want any beers to-go, sadly they only offer a few at this juncture, and in bottles. And there is no food here, just a few snacks for sale. But make sure to browse their swag stands, as they have some eclectic merch. All in all, I definitely encourage any beer fans to come and check this spot out. Been one of my favorites for years, and I'll bet it can easily become one of yours, too. Cheers, all!

Definitely liking the food menu and having happy hour pricing. Big wins there. However, I'm going to throw out a complaint that throws off the vibe and why I only tip 10%. This switch to funneled counter service creates a disconnected experience where the servers and bartenders don't seem to matter. You stand in a long line that takes forever to get through. Beers aren't even listed on the overhead monitors. You feel rushed to put in your order because you're aware of everyone who is waiting behind you. Get your food, put your buzzer on a table. Someone shows up with it. When you need a drink, you have to get up and navigate a line, again. Again, I'm tipping 10% for that at most. This is counter service. If I have to get up, stand in line and get my own drinks? Not a premium experience. But the prices here? It feels really disconnected. You're charging $10 for a beer? I have to get up and stand in line to get one... It all just looks like and feels like someone who designed this workflow hasn't been in the service industry. Too many awkward disconnection points and a lack of continuity. Imagine you went to a bar with 5,000 sqft and everyone was funneled into a line with two registers. There are 30+ taps. They're charging a premium for food and beverage. It's a great space. Food is good. Staff is fine. But the vibe is just off. The story arc when you walk in to when you leave feels weird. Like a top-down edict from management trying to force patrons into an unnatural workflow trying to improve one part of the business while compromising 7 others, losing whatever soul in the process. And the tap selection is lazy. I'll update my review if the vibe changes. It's just painful to see such a great space so awkwardly used. It even mostly works until the execution falls flat. I mean, imagine having a drink and knowing you're going to have to wait 20 minutes in a line to get another one on a lazy Sunday afternoon. It's... weird. It's 2-stars weird. Someone thought this was a good idea?
