Outdoors is dog friendly and I made some furry friends while sitting out for a drink! The German style beers they have on tap included some unique finds and some styles you don't see too often. Bartenders were very friendly and helpful when I was trying to decide what to get, as lagers and ales are not my usual go tos but made up the majority of the offerings. I got the Salem Ale, a helles style, in a half pour- I love that they offer this smaller size since their other glasses are absolutely massive! This was an easy drinking, smooth beer with low hops, just what I wanted for a hot summer day when I only had limited time to spend here. My drinking partner also enjoyed their selection, and we really enjoyed the location. Would love to go back, very chill vibes and the people there were all so friendly and happy, patrons and employees alike - a rare occurrence in Massachusetts!

I liked the beer, very solid red ale and dunkel selections. The water view from the patio tables is…read moreexcellent and provides a nice breeze. Meanwhile, the Biergarten itself is basically a kids playground, which may be bad or good, depends on what you're looking for.... The food, well maybe some of it is nice, but we got the smoked trout spread and it wasn't for us. Mostly creamy (edited: owner says no mayo), no clear fish flakes, small arrangement with a few crostini and cornichons. Very disappointed, especially for the price. So overall, we'll try again, not everything works, but we'll stick to the good beer and German food options.

The burgers were overcooked, the grated cheddar cheese that was lumped on top was fresh from the refrigerator and not even melted, the French Fries were so overdone and over-salted, they were like wooden twigs.

The waitress and the chef were so friendly, it's like we were eating at their dining room table. On our way out the chef handed us a to-go box-an ice cream sandwich. Get the idea of the vanilla ice cream and chocolate cookie out of your head. This ice cream was SO, SO good: chocolate ice cream between 2 chocolate chip cookies. Just the right balance of ingredient. This is a very unassuming bar that packs a punch.

I loved that they have various music nights and on this night, a few people brought in vinyls since it was BYO vinyl night. We had the mozz pockets (yum) and the Carolina gold wings (also yum). For the main meals, I had the Mr. Falafel wrap which was freaking delicious. It was the best thing I had tasted there and I'd return for that wrap alone! My gf had the Culture Fit burger and enjoyed it too. The drinks were top notch and the service was good as well. I'll definitely be back!
