Oktoberfest warm-up done right. If you're tuning up for Oktoberfest, head straight to Brat Haus in Old Town Scottsdale. There's something perfect about sitting in their beer garden on an autumn evening with a cold beer served in a proper stein. The beer selection is excellent, the brats are absolutely delicious, and the place has that fun, laid-back German beer-hall energy. Plus, being dog-friendly is a nice touch. It's an easy stop after walking around Old Town. The outdoor beer garden feels like an oasis tucked into the middle of Scottsdale. Great beer, killer bratwurst, welcoming staff, and a relaxed outdoor atmosphere makes the Brat Haus a fantastic way to spend an evening in Old Town. Prost! read more

After spending much of the day exploring Old Town Scottsdale we decided to take a break and grab a bite and drink at the Brat Haus We were immediately blown away by the overall vibe of the place. You walk in and it really does feel like a lively bier garten. There's many sections, and most of it outdoors. The colors, furnishings, patio games, TVs, music, etc make it feel like a place you could relax for hours Their menu boasts an impressive 28 beers on tap (including imports). They also have a large variety of appetizers and other tasty dishes meals. These dishes are made from scratch and much of the cuisine is European inspired. You'll find a variety of brats, burgers, salads, etc. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and hit the spot. We could have easily have spent many more hours there but there was more of Scottsdale to see Some tips: We went in the spring and it was absolutely gorgeous outside. It's now summer hours and it looks like they're adjusting their schedule accordingly. They are closed Mondays and Tuesdays. The rest of the days they're open 12-9pm (they open an hour earlier Saturday and Sunday, and they close an hour early on Sunday) Our server was incredible gracious, attentive, and professional. She gave us recommendations for the area and also food/drink to try You can make reservations, but we just did a walk-in. I think this more applies to larger groups as they're able to accommodate that. They also accommodate private parties (see their website) There appears to be a trivia night every Wednesday at 7pm. There's Girls Night Out Friday specials from 3pm-close. Join the Stein Club (rewards program). Ask your server how to join Explore Old Town Scottsdale either before or after. It's just a short walk away Cheers!! read more

This "dog friendly" restaurant turned away my SERVICE dog saying no dogs are allowed over 100 degrees. Meanwhile it's a mister cooled patio environment. We were reluctantly let into the small inside eating area being followed by the manager after he stared unbelievingly at my ADA documentation. The manager was not reasonable with my sister when she explained he is welcome in public accommodations as a service animal; he glared at us until we walked out! I am a HUGE fan on Brat Haus but this discrimination is unacceptable especially with heat as an excuse on a water cooled patio bc of my invisible disability. EDIT: I have changed my 1 star to a 4 star review as I genuinely appreciate the owner's fair explanation/ accountability and do not want to inhibit this genuinely awesome restaurant from succeeding. I love my dog and I want him safe as well... but yes, this experience was NOT ideal. There were many shaded, misted patio areas with wet floors spots as it was a watery event. He would have been comfortable and safe on the ground, not in lap, if seated appropriately. There was not a large crowd for this event and therefore a LOT of room to accommodate. That said, from prior visits, I recommend the beer "Fin du Monde" read more

If you're craving German food, Brat Haus is the spot to be! It had been nearly a decade since my last visit to this charming little bar and beer garden in Old Town, but it's still the same quality of food that I remember. Our group of five arrived on a weeknight at 7 PM without a reservation, and we were able to table a seat inside right away. A few of the beers we were interested in trying were no longer available, which is a bummer, but thankfully they had plenty of other options to choose from. We started with the Sauerkraut Balls (yum!) and the Large Pretzel, which is the perfect size to share among a large group. I went with the Hot Italian Brat for my entree, with Sauerkraut and Onion & Pepper on the side. I got a side of German Potato Salad, which was warm and comforting. The prices are very fair for the portion size! Definitely be sure to come hungry. read more

Heard good things about Brat Haus, and now I see why! Great location, a large patio, and solid food and drinks. They also host events throughout the week like trivia, which adds to the fun atmosphere. Dogs aren't just welcome, they're encouraged. They even do dog parties for $10 a tail, which is such a fun touch. The space itself is spacious with plenty of room for kids to run around, plus games like Jenga to keep everyone entertained. They had a ton of beer options. I got a flight with four beers, and as someone who loves barrel-aged beer, I was happy to see they had a couple options. Definitely more of a German-forward beer selection. We split the cheese tots and the poblano burger, and both were great. Next time I'm definitely trying the cheese curds. Last but not least, great service from our guy Fernie, I'll be asking for him every time! read more

Second time here and it's a 5/5 every time. We live in Gilbert so whenever we have an excuse to visit Scottsdale...we always want to come here. Came on a Saturday afternoon--was seated quickly. It was a very nice day out. The outdoor seating area is always a vibe when the weather is right. My fiancé is the beer connoisseur--he always loves what he orders from here. For us--the food is just awesome. Nothing beats a good brat. I personally love the veggie plate for the pickled veggies...the things I would do for those pickled veggies!!!! I even ordered a side. I ordered the sausage board and loved the sausage sample. My fiancé got a traditional brat with potato salad. I got to try both and soooooo good! We will always be back! read more

There was a lady that had posted on her own review that this place wasn't good for kids. So i was extremely paranoid since my kids aren't the best at staying still at any restaurant we go to. Esp with our friend's kid with us as well it's just a dangerous combo. But we had a great time and thankfully it was not a very busy Sunday night thank god. So as usual my kids did happen to wander a bit but our waitress was extremely nice and understanding. We feel like they changed the recipe for the pork schnitzel. My husband used to love ordering it years prior during spring training and he couldn't even get through half because he said it's not the same as it once was. My burger on the other hand was decent. We loved the renovation to the patio it's much more open and welcoming and nice to see how much growth/change has came over the years of coming here. read more

The large espresso martini sign out front pulled me in so of course I had to get a martini when I was in the area! The patio is so cute, it felt like a hidden oasis in Scottsdale. We started with some pretzel bites which were good and then followed those with espresso martinis. Unfortunately the espresso martinis were not my favorite as tasted watered down. read more

Love the German beer selection here at Brat Haus. We came in late night and the service was quick thankfully. We ordered a few items to share - Dr Pepper ribs, hot wings, and the adult happy meal. My favorite part was the mini espresso from the adult happy meal, so creative and comical. The Weihenstephar beer was very light and refreshing went well with all the foods. The hot wings were a little too salty to finish. Sliders with the adult happy meal were overly sauced with mustard. The fries were good. Dr pepper ribs were the highlight of the night. Ambiance was casual. I love the outdoor seating area and indoor bar option. 3.5 star because the food quality didn't really match the price point. But I would come back to try different items. read more

We stopped in at the Brat Haus for a beer and snack during spring break and loved the huge outdoor area. They had plenty to do with lots of TVs, giant Jenga, and other activities. There were over 40 beers on tap and the waiter was very helpful in picking a good one based on my preferences. The pretzel bites appetizer was amazing. Great place to visit! read more

Stopped here on a whim when in the area on a Saturday afternoon. The vibe was enjoyable. Since I was traveling alone, I opted to sit at the bar. I think the bartender's name was Jessica and she was very pleasant. Great conversation and service across the board. Great beer selection here. I had the Chicken Jalapeño Cheddarwurst with the Belgian Style fries. Both were excellent and the portions were just the right size: I didn't leave hungry and I didn't feel overwhelmed. The bun for the brat was particularly notable for being soft and enjoyable. Overall a very good experience. I look forward to stopping in again the next time I'm in town. read more

This is a must! I love beer! I love brats! Great German vibe in here. Ok, it's dead summer, so I'm sure they love to see us walk in- great friendly service! I wonder how great this will be at the end of September? We loved the pretzel. I really loved the jerk chicken brat. I'm a fan! I hope to come again when I'm in town. read more

I've been hanging out at Brat Haus for many years. The staff is friendly, the food is tasty, the beer selection is vast. There are two indoor areas and a nice outdoor area when the heat isn't insane. Dog friendly with water and treats for them. You can pay a yearly fee to have a beer stein custom engraved with discounts while your stein is active. They also host a very busy Octoberfest every year. read more

I was here for a private event in which the company was celebrating 15 years in business. The reserved area was off to the side by the kitchen, which allowed for a great atmosphere. The food was good, including sliders, brats, pretzel bites, and more. The service was also great, as they were on top of everything, from getting guest drinks to replacing utensils. I attended a private event at this restaurant to celebrate a small business's 15th anniversary. The reserved space, located near the kitchen, provided a lively and inviting atmosphere. The food selection was enjoyable, featuring options like Sliders, Brats, Pretzel Bites, and more. The service was great, with the staff tending to all the guests throughout the event. It wasn't hard getting drinks despite the busy atmosphere outside of our area. An ideal spot to grab some great German food & beer with a very casual relaxed vibe. read more

This was nothing like i saw on tv and disappointing it's a one and done too much bread and nothing worse than getting food served on wet soggy cardboard.

Our organization had a lunch event at Brat Haus today and we can't say enough about the owners, catering manager, and server. Dave, Drew, and Rachelle helped us create a menu for a very fair price. We used a private room that was ready for us when we arrived. Our server, Erin, was amazing and handled 25 of us on her own, perfectly. Finally, the food was outstanding!! If you are looking for a venue to hold a meeting, or a place to have a beer after hours, Brat Haus is a great choice. read more

We were recently in Scottsdale and had our dogs with us so decided to stop here for an early dinner. They are dog-friendly and their patio area is huge with lots of space. We had about a 15 minute wait, which was fine...well worth the wait!!! We didn't realize it but we had arrived during Happy Hour and they offer free dog brats! Of course the girls were all about diving into those! Wife had the Weihenstephan Hefeweissbie Beer, which she loved. It was at the suggestion of our server and it was spot on, she said. Wife ordered the pretzel bites, which we both had previously and loved them. They come with a beer cheese dip that is out of this world! She also ordered the Port Apple Gouda brat, which she loved. She reports that it was juicy and a bit on the sweet side because of the apple but the gouda balanced it all out. She also had fries, well done and no complaints! I wasn't in the mood for a dog so ordered the Double Animal, which is a double cheeseburger and of course, had to get extra pickles! I also had fries and we realized that we could have just shared one order but it was all good. Great service, great food, great ambiance, and one of the best dog friendly places we've been to! read more

Brat Haus is the most fun! If you're looking for an incredible selection of beers, ciders and spirits this is the spot! They have so many imported beers that are fantastic and hard to find. Drew runs the show and gives the best service. The staff is incredible! We enjoyed the Octoberfest! It was well received for the entire family. Great chill spot, lots of seating and good vibes. read more

Great place to have dinner on a Friday night. We sat outside on the patio at one of the wooden tables. I did enjoy sitting outside but I didn't like that the bench was not able to be adjusted - I was too far away from the table and that made it difficult to eat. We started with the pretzel bites. The pretzel bites were pretty good but the beer cheese was great. I got the cheeseburger and really enjoyed it. The burger has a great flavor and the onion jam adds a nice sweetness. I liked the fries they served with it. My sister got the chicken jalapeño cheddarwurst and she really enjoyed it as well. read more

I will be coming back here to try out more local beers and have a giant pretzel! read more

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! Came to grab a drink & food with my fiancé. We were sat on the patio area where there was no cover so things was falling down onto our table from a tree (we were the ONLY people sat there). NOONE came to bring waters or anything , or to ask for our order. Sat there for 20 minutes. The same server who was supposed to be our server sat other guest right beside us brought them waters & started taking orders immediately didn't say a word to us. We were the only black people at the restaurant so i do believe it was racially motivated. I would NEVER come here again. Called to speak to a manager after waiting for one & he made excuses for her. 0/10. Racist. This is My Response to the owner who commented back. That's a complete lie. You were not there so you don't know what happened. I did wait for a manager it took a long time & it was pretty late & we were hungry so we decided to leave & try some place near by which gets 5 stars from me. I decided to call to let the manager know since he never came out to speak to us. We were NOT offered a gift card we were offered to come back & try you guys again. We also were offered to get a call from the general manager on Tuesday & never got that call. My opinion is you guys don't care enough about your customers you just care about commenting back to your 1 star reviews which you have many of them. Thanks! read more

Jamie is the best waitress I've ever had. We've been here about 49,000 times, I love their specialty sausages, especially when they add some jalapeños in there. Their wings are interesting butter and Sriracha. They soak up the beer as well as anything else does. Watch out for those 9.9% alcohol beers, though, they hit you hard and then you get into conversations with people you wish you hadn't met and shared your number with. My one complaint is that they let people have their children, dear the ping-pong, tables, and us older folks who are actually really good at playing can't get near the tables. It is a beer place, for adult adults, so maybe they should separate the kids side an adult side so that the adults can get away from those jumping, screaming bouncing kids. I have nothing against kids. I have a problem with kids beer and bars. read more

Reserved a table for a party of 12 on a Friday night in February with no problems. We showed up a few minutes late for our time, but the hostess was friendly and didn't even mention our tardiness. The table was ready and the beer menus were already calling our names. The place itself is pretty spacious, though I didn't get to see it all because some parts were closed off given it being the off season. The menu is your standard German fare, with pretzels, fried food, and some cases meats that have varying levels of broad appeal. Our group did the party platter and Bavarian pretzel. Out of the party platter, the cheese curds were the winner. The chili tots had potential but came out lukewarm. I didn't sample the vegetables because I didn't come to Brat Haus to make smart health choices. As for the beer, there's a lot of options, and the staff seemed knowledgeable on what would work for everyone's tastes. They offer a few large stein options which help when you're looking to fully embrace the vibe. read more

The food here was disgusting. The sauerkraut was brown and limp, the brat dry and tasteless and the German potato salad was dry and tough. They did have a nice outdoor patio to drink and smooze. Won't be back, I don't recommend. read more

First time at Brathaus and I was pleasantly surprised. It has a very large and inviting back patio area. Lights, canopies, various seating options and fans create a rather fun space to sit and enjoy your meal. The menu happily offered several salad options which as a vegetarian made me happy. My friend ordered a sausage, fries with cheese and really liked her meal. I was happy with my Haus Salad. It was a generous size and I really liked the avocado and pickled onions. I will definitely go back and the welcoming patio is the biggest plus in my opinion. read more

I came here with some friends for trivia. It was our first time here, I called ahead as well to get details and know what to expect. The person on the phone had no idea and couldn't help ‍ but at least she was nice and apologized for not knowing. The trivia was not what I've ever experienced before. I learned that trivia company isn't something I want to experience again. The food was ok, it wasn't great and it wasn't bad. The fries were the star for me. If you go, be prepared to bundle up since they don't utilize the heaters that are around the area. It was cold even with sweaters and hoodies. If you like brats and beer, you'll probably like this place a lot. If you don't, I'd say it might not be for you. read more

As a "Foodie" and a community supporter of Scottsdale restaurants, I am sad to report a disappointing experience at Brat Haus today. Excited to try their famous Pretzel Bites, the manager would not honor a free coupon that did not specify Dine In only being his reason for not excepting the coupon. My argument is based on principle that it did not indicate that it was for dine in only. So I will not eat at this restaurant after the manager had no reason why he would not honor a $3 free order of pretzel bites To Go. Do not trust their promotion, they make up the rules as they go along. The bartender was exceptional however and would have honored the coupon if she didn't have to get a manager over ride. read more
