Love this place! Great atmosphere, decor on point and the food was great. I'm one of those people that gets a mimosa and a salad at a Bierhall (I know I know). But they both were great! $3 mimosas all day on Sunday's I think? We went during the height of Sunday football and it was crazy busy but we still had great service and a great time. My husband says the grilled wings are amazing too. Oh also. Lots of good beer to choose from. read more

Good for all the family. Great selection of German beer. You need to try the pretzel!

Chill atmosphere to watch NFL games and great beer selection! Bartenders and very nice and friendly & food is amazing!

New spot in ballston - came in with cousins to watch some sunday football - loved what they turned the place into - lots of indoor/outdoor games - our server was Sarah (she's a babe) took great care of us too! She made suggestions on ordering a flight for $12 of 4 different drafts - since I couldnt decide - as well as the stuffed pretzel. Both were a hit! read more

Great for groups!! Food & beer great! Inside is loud. Order and pay from your phone. Love not being interrupted by servers while trying to converse. read more

The german Beer there is great, but not the German food. The Schnitzel Fingers Are chicken, not pork. The Giant pretzels are awesome!

The best homemade pretzels! Paired with a good beer + outdoor dog-friendly seating. 10/10

This place rocks! Order from your table and the drinks are served incredibly fast. Great ambiance, friendly bartenders, and a positive, upbeat vibe. It's gonna be a regular stop! read more

Having lived in Germany... Would have to say the beer is good. The food, on the other hand, leaves much to be desire... My suggestions is to focus more on the food... What I had, was more Americanized. The brats were good... the side... needs more work... read more

My roommate and I went to the Bronson Bierhall on their second grand opening day. Service was terrific. The drinks and food came out a lot faster than would have been expected on a second grand opening day. This shows that they had taken a lot of time and energy to train the new staff. The place looks amazing; looks nothing like A-Town, even the vibe itself was awesome. Jules, a manager, (I might be misspelling her name) dropped by several times to inquire how everything was. She is a GEM! :) As a server in a restaurant, it's hard to find a manager actually stopping by every table within sight, and checking to make sure everything is up to par; and that she did. Job well done!!!! THE FOOD! OMG!!!! I would definitely recommend the pretzel... It's HUGE! I would not order this by yourself... I would order this if you have two or more people within your party. This definitely seemed to be a favorite, literally, most of the tables around us had one. So, of course, we followed suit We also had the Pierogis. (Spelling could be off on that too). You get four or five (I can not remember), which was on a bed of flavorful sourkrout. This item was very good and on point, it was not too soggy nor too crispy. It was just perfect! The beer selection seemed to be great and vary some. Although, I am always afraid of purchasing a beer that I am not familiar with, so I went with my normal beer of choice. I should attempt to reach outside of my comfort zone but in due time. read more

Dan is the coolest server I've ever had. Literally was more cordial than a Georgia gramma leaving Sunday service. Bronson Bierhall, if you lose Dan, you lose my business. That got serious quickly. Apologies. Dan is the best. read more

Nice new place to kick it at! Service was excellent food was fast and wow they take a slider to a whole different level! Very nice beer selection! Will be back again for sure! They also have outside seating as well. read more

Bronson Bierhall - Chicken sliders - New American Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

My boyfriend and I stopped by Bronson last night for the soft opening and were very impressed! The decor inside the bier hall is awesome and there are a number of tables outside on the patio to enjoy the nice weather. Tables are all seat yourself but are covered by waitstaff. Our waiter Chad was fantastic. The service was prompt and all of the staff members are very friendly and helpful. We arrived a few minutes after happy hour ended at 7pm, but the deals on the happy hour menu were good. $2 off all draft beers, $4 Narragansett cans, $5 wines. We only came in for a couple of drinks, so did not get a chance to try any food, but the menu selections are what you would expect for a traditional bier hall and have very reasonable prices. You can get flights of beer to try 4 drafts for $12 in addition to single pints. Can't wait to go back and try more of the beers and the food! read more

Corn hole bags are definitely short a few beans. Lost a few games because of it. That's said, I was a couple nuclear nuggets deep so maybe I just suck at corn hole. Great local watering hole with good beer and better food. read more

I live right across the street from Bronson (I can literally see everything happening on the patio from my balcony) and have been eagerly awaiting them to open for months and months. I've now been twice--once during the soft opening for a couple of drinks when it was pretty empty and once for food, drink, and football with friends. All I have to say is, "WOW!" I'm most impressed by the food. We had the tacos, stuffed cheese pretzel (legendary!), and wings. All came out super quickly and tasted amazing. Of course, having been to Germany and Oktoberfest, I appreciated the selection of authentic German beers, which paired nicely with the food. Being across the street, I can see how packed out it is every day and trust me, it's for good reason and worth the wait. I'll be back time after time. Prost! read more

Only one kind of (pork) bratwurst on the menu (they also have a chicken bratwurst), it was okay. Not much "snap" or juice to it. The mac and cheese is good. read more

I went back to give it another go and I'm so glad I did- the food was amazing and the service was very good as well. Highly recommend

Great selection of brews but no ciders! Adding some local ciders to the line-up would be great! I had the blueberry/blonde wheat ... so yummy ... too bad it's seasonal. My husband and I shared the pierogis ... they were tasty. I don't prefer sauerkraut but my husband said it was great! The bartender (Matt) knew lots about the brews and the food menu, a definite plus! My husband had the Rueben...said it was really great! I had the lamb burger (Matt recommended it) ... It was SO good! I thought it could have used a bit more arugula but I just ask for some extra next time. I will return soon! read more

Really good food, atmosphere, and drinks! Highly recommend the pepperoni pretzel. So yummy

Not only does it have a great atmosphere, great service, and delicious food, but truly feels COVID safe right now! (well spaced, limited interaction, and great outdoor seating) The best local choice we could've made. Highly recommend! read more

just moved to Ballston; love this place. Lots of indoor and outdoor spots for social distancing. Brats made in-house. Amazing pretzel buns; yummy potato salad. Excellent variety of beers, wine & cocktails. friendly service, clean. Highly recommend. Beer hall style tables for lots of folks and also some regular tables with chairs. Have sat inside and outside and enjoyed both. Patio is dog friendly; backyard has shade, outdoor lighting and turf for a causal vibe. read more

We went to the soft opening at bronson bierhal. The place is amazing. The decor is awesome. We came in were greeted by the hostesses. They toldvus we could grab any table we like. We sat in by the two large game tables. Our server name was Neil, He came over greeted us with a big smile and went over how everything worked. He asked what type of beers we liked and suggested some starters to go with. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and answered al the questions we had. The place wasnt that crowded but eventually was very busy. Neil also suggested some green tea whisky as a shot to help celebrate our friends promotion. Neil was an excellent server and he was telling us about the place. The beer selection is awesome and has a great happy hour and is very dog friendly. The stuffed pretzel and the wings that Neil suggested were the bomb and went great with all of our beers. Neil almost got us to buy some of the sausages at the counter to take home but we were so full. The bronson bierhal is a great addition to the neighborhood and We had great service from our server Neil. He took excellent care of us and we will definitely tell our friends about it. If u have a dog Neil told us they have yappy hour on Monday night. Thanks again Neil and we will see u again. read more

Great beer and great food. A fantastic environment and lots of space to move about. Decent pricing on drinks especially for the area and a fantastic variety. Will become a staple for us as we settle into our new home. read more

Yesterday, my boyfriend and I stopped at this establishment to enjoy drinks. Because of COVID-19, you can't enter without a mask. My Caucasian boyfriend didn't have one, but I, an African-American woman, did. My real issue is that at least 4 different employees saw me waiting to be helped for at least 3 minutes and not one could be bothered to at least acknowledge me and let me know someone would be with me. I have been in this industry for over a decade. I bartend literally down the street and would've been a loyal patron. Both my boyfriend and I believed if I'd given him my mask, that wouldn't of happened. It's really disgusting being in the same industry, doing the same job, and being treated like that, particularly with the global protesting. It was gross experience that was unappreciated. read more

You have to try the pretzels!!!! Everything we've had there is great but I've never had a better pretzel anywhere!!! The brats are fabulous! The service is awesome!!!! read more

Bronson is definitely an improvement over Atown and has fixed some of its problems. Beer selection is MUCH improved (and certainly a far cry better from the pedestrian InBev choices at "The Lot"). Beer is also now served at an appropriate temperature (no longer warm) and tastes as it should!!! Unfortunately, inside still suffers from the "can't talk any quieter than at a yell" problem or how loud it gets when it's busy. The outside communal seating works well with groups being able to shift and move as people come and other groups move in and out. Service could use some work but nothing I don't expect won't shake out after a few more weeks on the job! Servers seemed confused as to if they should check on parties, if they had been checked on, how long they were waiting etc. It was unclear if it was supposed to be team service or whomever got there first. Also, we had an unfortunate incident when we asked about the rotating sour and was told the name "or something" and no description of what type of sour it was. For a "Bierhall" I expect at least a modicum of interest in the question and/or a detailed response to the question. As far as the food went only tried the (massive) pretzel and the mustard and cheese were both pleasant. Note that several of the bussers, food runners and support staff were excellent and experienced hospitality staff. Definitely looking forward to our next visit!! read more

My first time here and it was great. The waiter, James, was awesome!! He had so many tables but still made it a point to check on us pretty frequently. Even the busboy was by very often to pick up the empty mugs. A very lively, fun environment!! The giant pretzel was so tasty!! read more

Ive been to bronson a few times and that was fantastic charles always took care of us. This was the first time My friends and I came in to sit down and dine. We sat at a table and our server, who was not very happy to begin with said there was a reservation coming at 6:45 (we got there around 6). When I had called when this place first opened they told me they dont take reservations so that automatically threw me off. We got drinks and maybe I misspoke or the server didnt hear me but my wine was wrong. When i apologized and asked for the correct wine he was not happy that he had to go and change it. at 6:40 while we are still eating our food said that we had to get up in the next 5 minutes. Ive never worked or been at a place where the guests are kicked out of their seat. The reservation was not there yet and last time my friend and I were here they made us wait for our table for the people to finish their meal. He offered us a table outside as he was trying to rush us out of the table. We checked it out and the heaters were def a lifesaver. When we sat down our waitress was super friendly however, the busboys kept turning off/down our heater to where we kept having to ask to turn it back on. Ive never experienced such a disappointing experience. Although this experience wont stop us from coming back the only thing I can say thats positive is the food is outstanding. read more

I was here on a Friday night with my young daughter. We were there around 5 so it wasn't too crowded or loud, yet. It was starting to get busy as we left. I enjoyed the food, beer, and the service. Our waitress was great-friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back! read more

We had a table/section reserved for a work happy hour and our server Tareq was awesome! Also can't say enough about the manager Mary who kept coming over to make sure everything was going smoothly and even helped us figure out splitting up a large bill at the end. Great venue and great customer service! read more

Based on all the positive reviews, we gave it a try yesterday evening. The place was packed. The seating situation was a little confusing as there were empty tables but the waiters did not know if we could sit or not. The food was OK for this type of a restaurant, however, they should provide a kids menu for more reasonable prices. You can get similar (actually better) food for children in places like Lyon Hall, Liberty Tavern for much more reasonable prices ($8 for burger, side and ice cream). Here we had to pay $14 for only one burger! Given the variety of dining options around, I am not sure if I would come here for food again, perhaps for happy hour drinks only. read more

Beautiful remodel of the old A-Town space. The interior is really nicely done with lots of light and an open feel, and the outside area has tons of room, with lots of seating and space for kids and dogs as well. Great beer selection - some traditional German style beers along with some new local options. The food we tried was all delicious, especially the giant pretzel and the lamb burger. Will be back for more! read more

Mary was amazing. Food was great. Atmosphere was great. This yelp app is making me write more to fill a character quota. All was great.

Eh... good beer selection but $$$ a pint vs .5 liter for $5 more!? It's like less than 2 oz difference. Might be an opening thing, but ? Can get much better pricing elsewhere. Didn't eat so can't comment on that read more

Absolutely amazing food! The atmosphere is great, and the food is even better. And an 11-7 Happy Hour on Saturday's are you kidding? This is heaven. read more

We came into bronson bierhal to watch the nationals play last night. I came into join my to guy friends and i sat down and was immediately greeted by neil our server when i sat down. He asked me if i had been here before and I told him no. He welcomed me and gave me a little history about bronson and how it used to be atown amd it was redone by the same owners. Neil asked me whst type of beer i liked and pointed out the hoffbrau franskaner and krostrizer. He suggested i do a flight tonget a taste of a few different beers. He suggested also to get a giant pretzel and a bratwurst. They were both so delicious. The beers were excellent. Neil was and excellent server and i asked him did he like working here and he said yes it was a nice place to work. Neil was so attentive and gave us such great service. He was smiling and joking around with us. He was an excellent server. My friends had a fantastic time. Jules the manager came over and checked on us and she was very warm and inviting. The decor of the place is awesome and u feel like u are in a real german bierhal. Neil even told us about the Yappie hour on monday. They are coming up with some great cocktails for it. Monday from 3 to 7 and it has a great area u and your dog can meet other dog owners and enjoy great cocktails and food. We definitely recommend when u come in ask for neil he will definitely take care of u. The food is awesome and so is the service. Thanks neil we will tell all our friends and family. A1 +++++ service. Jules u were awesome as a manager checking on us to. Thanks guys. read more

I'll start with the good: the food was tasty especially their soft pretzel. It's very big and they give you a ton of beer cheese unlike other places. It's also a pretty big space with lots of seating so even when it's packed you might be able to find some seats. Now the bad: we were told that we will get waited on so we don't have to go to the bar to order. We were waiting for maybe 20 minutes and no one was coming to us so we asked a busboy where our waiter is. We saw him talk to her and tell her to come take our order. She didn't come by until maybe 10 minutes after that. I noticed that there were barely any servers on such a busy night. Lots of busboys but maybe 4-5 servers. They were definitely under staffed. Secondly, there's no ac. It was very warm and humid in there, very uncomfortable. It would be nice to have at least fans. Also, the acoustics are terrible. It's so loud in there because they had a live band. But they also had football going on all the TVs. There was just a whole lot going on it was slightly overwhelming. And to top everything off, I got stuck in the stall of the women's bathroom because the lock was broken. I may have really broken it off to be able to get out. I'll probably give it another chance since they just opened. But I didn't get a great first impression. read more
