What's not to love about this place? A healthy beer selection, delicious food, an original menu with something for everyone, and (hands down) the best service around. Staff is always very friendly and accommodating, I think they actually really love working there. The venue itself is comfortable and inviting. Daily specials, special events, and live entertainment on many Fridays. Martinis and the charcuterie board are my personal fave. read more

Loved every minute of our visit to this bar. The seating can be rough on busy nights, but my husband and I found a seat at the bar. The cutting board appetizer is a nice starter with a good variety of items to snack on. The beer selection was great! I tried a few new beers and the bartender was very good at making suggestions of things I'd like based on what I knew I already loved. We had the chicken and waffles as well as one of the burgers (I can't recall the name, but it had german sausage on the burger... so yummy!) and the food was great. They also do a very fun toast every night at 9 pm. We happened to visit on a night that the Jalopy Brothers band was playing and I loved their sound! I can't wait for my next visit to this fun, casual bar. read more

Love the food and beer selection. My favorite is the hamebert and my hubby likes the sweaty pig. Only downside is no highchairs and service can be slow. read more

Bierkeller - Cheddar bbq spaetzle and the cuben with an oktoberfest beer - German Near Me - Taylor, Michigan

Friendly staff, they always seem to be busy. As a vegetarian I don't always find good things on bar menus. I always order the Hambert sandwich (minus the ham) and it is to die for. I imagine it would also be delicious with salty ham. It is a grilled cheese with a mixture of sweet and savory. read more

Great selection of beers. Food is above ok but not amazing. Staff are excellent. Outside seating is much appreciated

Not bad service. I love the food here! Try one of the specialty plates! The atmosphere is pretty cool in this place as well. Good local spot! read more

This place has good live music, specials, and a decent beer list. Food is great every time too.

Great (and hard to find) brews, yummy food, and fantastic service. I've been there a few times and all of our waitresses were very nice and knowledgeable about the menu and beers. I also love the atmosphere. The pennies everywhere are a really neat touch. read more

Absolutely fabulous food!!! Had it Deliver to my hotel and it was hot and fresh and very very flavorful! I will be ordering from them again in the future! read more

We stopped at the Bierkeller for an early dinner today after visiting a friend. We yelped this restaurant and it had a four star rating. We started with the 3 pretzels with cheese and grain mustard,very good. My wife ordered the chicken paprikas bowl which was huge and she liked it. My sister-in - law and I ordered the chicken on spatzels with Brussels sprouts. The sprouts were good,well flavored .The chicken should have been pounded thin and then lightly fried in butter but that was not to be. The breaded chicken was deep fried and just ok,but my spatzels were dried out and not very warm. The crowning problem was the sauce which topped the chicken. It was a green cream parsley sauce with some strange herbs in it. The parsley was so strong it overwhelmed every bite. This chicken was 13.00 and not worth it. I know from over 200 reviews that someone out there likes this food but I was disappointed. A squeeze of fresh lemon over a thin pan fried piece of chicken was all that was required. Service was good but we won't be back. read more

When this place first opened I gave it a try and didn't care for the food. However, recently tried it again (3 times in the last 2 months) and they have won me over. I think I just didn't care for the first thing I tried (chicken and waffles). My fav thing on the menu is The Sweaty Pig sandwich. Tender juicy pulled pork with a spicy/sweet bbq mustard sauce. YUMM ! My last visit I tried the Oma Goodness Schnitzel (pork schnitzel on spaetzle), the pork was fried nicely. I would rate that dish 4 stars. Great beer selection and vibe. Love the live entertainment, however it gets so loud you can't talk. Probably because the bar is on the small side. I wish they would do a piano (keyboard) sing a long instead , that would be really fun. Still, it is a great bar. read more

Love the variety of German foods. The beer selection is great too. It gets quite crowded but worth the wait.

Awesome beers! AND I'd never ever have guessed the Fried chicken waffle rocks! Who comes up with this? Idk but it's great. read more

I am in love with this place! The spaetzle is Spot On!! Do NOT miss out on ordering the housemade chips loaded...YUMMY! I really need to dine here more.. so many tasty dishes to try..I will have to decide which one will be my fav! read more

Love Bierkellar!!! Will be anxiously awaiting to eat there once this is over. Thanks for keeping everyone safe!!! You are the beat!!

This is the best bar downriver hands down! I feel comfortable coming here by myself middle of the day during the week or during the weekend at night or even with my 3 year old daughter. The menu is comprehensive and the owners are so nice to listen to what their customers want. Being vegan, it's meant a lot that they now have a vegan burger patty. Best selection of beer available in the entire area. All of the staff are super nice. You will have such a nice dining experience here! read more

Great place to go! Clean environment and fantastic food! Due to Covid I do not go to many bars or restaurants but this place is always at the top of my list. read more

Went here with a couple friends the food was very good and overall the place had a Wonderful inviting atmosphere ! A nice place for a fun night out with good friends & great service! read more

Excellent example of a small downriver restaurant done right. They have an excellent selection of German and American beer on tap, and the food is excellent. My family is vegan and we always enjoy their Blackbean Burger! This place has plenty of tvs and is always showing whatever sporting events are on at the time. The music is on the louder side for an upscale restaurant, but its to be expected since it's more of a bar than a restaurant. They do have TouchTunes though for those who are picky about the music selection and willing to pay to influence the ambiance. read more

This is one of the true gems of Downriver Detroit. Lively on the weekends, live music, a friendly staff, involved management and an eclectic menu to please just about any palette. Love this spot. read more

Bierkeller is an amazing place with amazing staff!!! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!! Long story short: I had my mother in law's surprise birthday party planned for last Saturday at Smugglers in Wyandotte. The Thursday before, a friend had called Smugglers to find out pricing and the person who answered said that they were closed on Saturday. They had never called me or emailed me to let me know. I called and received confirmation that it "wasn't good business because it was cold out". I frantically called Bierkellers and spoke with Jen, who within minutes had me and our party set up in their heated tent for Saturday night. They even brought out a delicious desert and a birthday shot for the birthday girl!! Everyone had such a great time; our server, Kristen, and Jen were both constantly checking on us. They did not even hate us when we ended up in a small cupcake fight! I heard so many rave reviews from our guests that night about the great food, drinks, and service. We all plan on returning for more amazing food, drinks and fun! THANKS SOOOO MUCH BIERKELLER!!!! read more

Arrived too late for Sun.Brunch food but still was able to indulge in their Bottomless Mimosas Started with 'make your own ' Bloody Mary and Bierkeller provides a GREAT selection of garnishments including German Sausage all on the same serving table as Bierkellers awesome selection of Champaign and Juices for 'make your own ' Mimosas. We only had 30 min. left for brunch but our Super Heroine waitress Jessica said she'll keep making us whatever we want from behind the bar. Jessica took away all of our cares about whether we were going to enjoy our time there. Off the lunch menu, I dined 100% German. I started with a German Chili, followed it up with Wurstchen Feast - a variety of German Sausage eg Bratt's.Washed it all down with a 23oz Warsteiner Dunked and a 16oz Hofbrau Original. My wife dined on German Spring Rolls. If we never travel to German, Bierkeller's is good enough for us! We had a great experience there, the food, the drinks, the wait staff and dining outside. read more

Super cute little bar. I love the way they remodeled and designed it. Love the big tables, I wish the place was bigger! Great beer on tap and good wait staff. Was there once when they had a little two man band playing, they were great too! Get there early though it's very small and if you have a large group you'll need a whole table and they fill up fast. There was one questionable incident. My friend ordered a Dirty Blonde and it was very off. Tasted like line cleaner and stale beer. The waitress told us that's how dirty blonde always tastes.... Then she said she could put some lemonade in it to help it taste better.... Bla, gross. In the end she still charged him for it. We were with a big group and there for a while; I know the bill was very large, just seemed like she shouldn't have charged him... He didn't drink it. Also, my favorite beer, Bean Flicker didn't quite taste right. So I don't know of its a problem with their beer or two flukes. I'm looking forward to hanging out there more to find out. read more

The food here is pretty good but it can be better. The drinks are made pretty strong and average priced. They have a good selection of craft beers. The area is okay and never seems to have issues. read more

I know very little about German food. As in nothing...I know nothing about German Food... or culture. I think they call a blind German a "not see" or something like that (Das a good dad joke). Anywho.... I like this place! The bartender was friendly and helpful. We took a couple of her recommendations, and ordered some kind of bacon wrapped brat appetizer and the schnitzel. This was my first schnitzel and I'm definitely a fan. Crunchy and salty (in a good way) w some kind of delicious gravy on it. It felt like comfort food. The bar was comfortable and the staff was friendly enough. "I'll be back" (can't help doing that in my Arnold voice. Yeah, I know he's not German. I already told you I don't know anything about German culture. WAIT! Now I know I like schnitzel!!!) read more

First time posting something on here but absolutely felt the need after our visit there last night. Just wanna say thank you to Bierkeller and especially a huge thanks to our waitress Tiffany. Celebrated my 40th birthday there last night and she was absolutely amazing!! I mean just on point with everything! From her service, to her demeanor and well, basically everything....she killed it!! By the end of the night, she was calling everyone by their names and was so personal, friendly and prompt. Honestly, it was probably my best experience there and will definitely be going back and will definitely be requesting her!! read more

They are so accommodating with my Celiac disease. The staff is well trained on food allergies and our very aware. They always made sure to bake my stuff, so that there is no cross contamination. I can still enjoy most of my favorite eats there because of that. They offer a wide variety of drinks and even carry gluten free beer. Most places don't care like this establishment and I praise that of them. Always my go to restaurant. read more

It's a fun experience. They had people playing board games and enjoying their drinks. The food and drinks was good and the service was on point. read more

Very good German themed bar. Live music on the weekend night I was there. I will go back.

Delicious food, cozy atmosphere, good prices and a looong list of beer options. Music is really loud though, bear that in mind if you want to convo with your friends. read more

I'm reluctant to write this review as the venue was already overpacked on my first Sunday brunch visit. However, the Bloody Mary bar and food offerings deserve a 5 star. The prices on the Bloody Mary/mimosa bar were pretty good and the bar was stocked with most everything you would need for a great drink. I ordered their version of chicken and waffles and it was amazing! I was reluctant to do so due to the egg and cheese they top it with but both additions resulted in an over the top delicious meal. The crispy chicken atop the sweet waffles was a perfect combination. The chicken is more of a schnitzel (versus fried chicken) so the breading was a bit thinner but still had just enough crisp. Once I felt brave enough to add in some egg and cheese to my bites, my meal went from good to great. The added savory, gooey-ness of the two molded perfectly with the savory sweet mix of the chicken and waffles. This dish had everything is needed: crispy, tender, gooey, cheesy, savory, sweet, and some added spice thanks to hot sauce. It sounds over the top but the result was an amazing brunch meal soothing the hangover from Saturday night. The slight buzz my Bloody Mary left me with resulted in an amazing Sunday afternoon nap. This was a great Sunday brunch experience and adding to that was that this great gem is in Downriver. I will definitely be back & only hope that the owners have plans to expand the small venue. read more

Absolutely amazing. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. The food was phenomenal. I highly recommend the Bierkeller bowl and kielbasa bites!

Pretty darn good beer list, maybe not quite on the level as Ashley's, but close. Delicious food to boot, and great relaxing atmosphere. Reasonable prices on everything. read more

If you like a variety of beers, this place is for you. It has a decent atmosphere. The server was polite and attentive. But if you want German food, you will not find it here. The spaetzle reminded me of instant noodles and sauce mixed with frozen peas with carrot cubes. I actually think that is exactly what it was. I stopped after two bites. It was not good; it certainly wasn't German by any stretch. The corned beef Reuben, also not German, was as thin and unsubstantial as a child's school lunch. I'm guessing the pretzels are the frozen variety you can buy at the grocery store. This is not a German restaurant. read more

I have been there five times now. The atmosphere and beer selection is great. Service is pretty good, friendly staff is trying hard because the place is always packed. The food is fair at best. The chef needs a LOT more training, it seems as if the fryers are too hot and the food is coming out slightly burned. read more

I felt the drinks were a little over priced for what I was getting I bought a cocktail at this restaurant not long ago and it was literally 8 bucks for a small glass really just a single sip. fair enough I got my food and can't say i enjoyed that either I felt it had little taste what so ever... Personally I will not be going back I have had allot better food and drinks at other establishments. read more

This is not going to be a long review. This is simply a very easy five stars. We went on a Wednesday night, had a couple burgers and appetizer with the German spring rolls, and had a delightful server. The food was fantastic. One of the burgers was a little over cooked but still delicious. They had good music, the crowd was friendly, the server attentive, and overall just a very very nice environment on our first visit. I definitely am looking forward to going back. read more

Great food, great feel. The only thing I'd have to say towards improvement is that their pricing is a little expensive. Delicious brunch though and their spaetzle is amazing. read more

Half off most appetizers from 3-6 M-F. We had the soft pretzels and they were good. Have a decent amount of beers on tap that rotate and like 85 in cans. Prices for the beers were very reasonable. Most have 3 sizes to choose from. Wife ordered a build your burger and I ordered chicken sandwich( not the real name on menu). Burger was ordered with their fries and you get a lot! I had homemade chips with chicken and received a lot as well. The chicken was large as well. Service and other staff....Exceptionably nice and made you feel welcome. Prices for food were perfect. We will definitely be back and will visit the new location when open as well. The inside is mostly picnic tables and a couple high tops. Great atmosphere with keno as well. Covered outside area as well. read more

Amazing place to eat or drink. They have live acoustic music on the weekends and the best beer list I think I've ever seen! (Outside of a brewery) I had the Guten Morgan and my table got the carving board. They were both outstanding! I will definitely be revisiting this bar for the food and beer! read more
