The inside was dark and they had a band this night. Very loud so were glad we sat outside. They had a burger special of two burgers, any style for the price of one with fries. I ordered the chili burger and my friend ordered the classic. Both were perfectly cooked and good. Liked all the jalapeños on my burger. The order came with a large order of fries to share. My wife ordered the chicken wings which were very wet and not much of a crisp. The beer list was pretty good with both local, imports, and there own brew. Service was good throughout the night.

We ordered burgers which were a little disappointing - the patties were rubbery and the bacon on my wife burger was undercooked. The pluses are that the beers were ice cold and the servers and bartender were very friendly. Even though our "bar spanish" is adequate, they had someone who spoke good english to come and take our orders I would definitely return for drinks but not the food

We've been here twice now on our three day stay in Mérida…read more They have a good local beer selection and a good German beer selection. Menu consists of German food offerings. Service is great and the air conditioning is cold. Great Happy Hour with local macro brew specials of $19 pesos (like a dollar) Only con is that they are out of a lot of beer and food on the menu (understandable because the supply chain was disrupted during the pandemic) They should print up a temporary one until they get things back in stock. All in all we liked it, it was a great place to escape the summer heat and grab a cold beer.

Yikes, what a great surprise! Initially was not impressed with their menu ( no sauerbraten) or…read moretheir lack of service, but I definitely underestimated it. I can't wait to return!

Everything was beautifully seasoned and a lovely presentation.

The decor is in theme, the staff is generally quite attentive, but the menu is germanic.
