District 9 is low-key one of my favorite places to have a beer. They have flights so you can try four at a time...good eclectic mix on the taps of some well-knowns and some niche obscure tastes. The bartenders and owners are all so nice. I used to be a regular there and really enjoyed not only the good and drink but just the interactions with them. Good people. For food I always go cheeseburger with rooster sauce instead of 1000 island! Or rachel's cousin (kind of a grilled cheese with turkey). District 9. The bomb. A German pub east of white rock lake. A fun hangout for sure. read more

We went here for lunch after Church Sunday. It was so good. I had Maria's Roast Beef Sandwich, it was like a French dip. Good crusty bread! Really good au jus for dipping. Really yummy. Hubby had the Bratwurst on a pretzel roll. He said it was delicious. He also ordered the German-Style potato salad but neither of us liked it. The only thing we didn't like. They have a huge list of beers which my hubby loved. We will definitely be back. My husband has had the Reuben before and said it was one of the best he's had! Try it you'll like it. read more

Loved our schnitzel loved the cheese, curds and loved with all the beer options. In terms of service I think they were just really busy, but we definitely were not checked on multiple times and weren't given water when we requested water. Overall, the place was clean, I just think they definitely need some more servers. read more

I got a patty melt that was really good there French fries are amazing crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They have great selection of beer, it's a very casual experience you seat yourself there's water at the front sort of place. Nice for a casual lunch / dinner. Only downside is they open late on some days. read more

I love this hidden gem. Get a pretzel, a few good beers and enjoy. Love the ambiance here.

I've been to D9 a few times through the year but never as a "regular." Upon returning I found that some things have changed while others have remained the same. As before they have a very good selection of beers on tap - local, national, and international. Also, there's wine on tap although that's not my area of interest. What's changed is the expanded menu that doesn't show up on the web page. I had the smash burger. My friend had another burger I think mushroom and Swiss. But my memory is foggy about that. Both came with kettle chips. Both were delicious. In addition there are more bar snacks like cheese curds, my new favorite. D9 has the vibe of a locally owned neighborhood bar. Service is friendly but not intrusive. And, for you beer snobs, appropriate glassware is used, as far as I can tell. The beer is cold. Parking is abundant. Prices are reasonable. And growlers are filled. What could be better? read more

Huge selection of beers! They have a lot of open seating that's accommodating for big groups coming in and out. We all had a few rounds of draft beers ($8-10). All the beer is imported and have great pours. We did order fries ($4) and a pretzel to share ($7), both were crispy and hot. I'm sure if they had a happy hour it would do well against competitors in the white rock area read more

German and German-styled beers plus German-styled food. What's not to love about that? All that's missing is an oompah band and pretty girls in drindls! Arriving when it was quiet, I enjoyed a beer and then a meal. A fantastic pilsner poured in the proper glass. After that one was gone, I let the bartender talk me into dinner. I chose the "plated" schnitzel and she suggested that I have the mushroom gravy on the side. Wow, that was a great idea. I got to have bites of this wonderful pork plain and then have bites with the gravy. The small arugula salad on the side was ideal. A bit later, a second beer. So many to choose from on tap and in tins and in bottles but I chose a German import draft and it was perfection. From the world's oldest brewery, Weihenstephan Kristallweissbier. Just beautiful. Friendly folks and maybe they'll see this. Stephanie was a delight and Adam was fun to talk to. Sitting out front and watching the sunset while sipping a beer was most pleasant. As the place fills up, it does get quite loud. It's all smooth walls that reflect sound so some baffles would really help. This is such a friendly and fun joint. Clearly a local favorite and I can see why. [Review 593 of 2024 - 457 in Texas - 21624 overall] read more

What a great find! We had just eaten at another German restaurant in DFW that everyone raves about. It was so bland that we didn't have high hopes for this one...but we were pleasantly surprised! Clean, cool vibe, good service and the food was fantastic! We had the homemade brat, cheese curds, schnitzel and a burger along with German potato salad, fries and a potato pancake for our sides. Everything was perfect! 10/10 I highly recommend, and will be coming back again as soon as we're in the area. read more

I tried this place after reading an article about how their business had grown since another burger place recently opened nearby. I've tried that other place a couple of times and was disappointed. I was so happy to discover this burger!!! The taste, quality and size is amazing. The German potato salad is superb. Take out takes a little longer than usual, but it is worth the wait! I just make sure I plan accordingly when ordering. They give a lot of attention to detail here. I can't wait to try the other offerings! read more

I really liked District 9. Chris was a phenomenal server - knowledgeable, nice and attentive. He recommended the peach cobbler cider because I'm not really a beer drinker and it was absolutely delicious. I got the pretzel with pub cheese and the BLT with fries. The food was cool but what I really want to call out is the VERY reasonable prices. Although this place is out of the way for me, and I'm not even sure that I like German food, the prices make me want to come back and try more items. Lastly I'll mention that I really appreciated that the music was playing at the perfect volume. There were a good amount of people in bar when I was there but it wasn't overly loud because the music wasn't overly loud, forcing people to shout their conversations. I'll be back! read more

Nice menu and beer selection. Would have loved to have actually ordered. Waited at bar and two people who came in after me went to the register and were served, so I assumed that was the protocol. Got in line there. Finally made it through the line and was ignored to wait on bar customers. :/ no one greeted anyone on arrival so was hard to tell what the system there was. Waited about 15 minutes without being spoken to at all. Understandable if it was packed, but it was not. Ambiance was good. Clean. Lots of wood. Not crowded at all. read more

Great place in White Rock lake area. Great beer selection. Reasonable prices on beer, especially for the neighborhood. Our server was great (bigger guy, forget his name). I got the chicken pot pie soup to start. It was almost like eating a chicken pot pie, without the crust. Just a little thinner on consistency, hence calling it a soup. For my main, I got the D9 schnitzel plate. Way bigger portion than I was expecting. Good food overall, not the best, a bit saltier than I'd prefer, but it exceeded my expectations for the price point. Will come back. read more

We had the sweetest server who was efficient and helpful when trying to decide what to eat and drink. The burgers were to die for and the fries and chips were excellent and fresh. The restaurant is clean and is a fun atmosphere. We didn't take pictures of the food because we ate it all. The prices were also very reasonable read more

My wife (who is from Germany) and I have been to D9 half a dozen times. We also had them cater our department Christmas dinner, and (shhhh) we've switched to them, away from a very popular Dallas establishment, to supply our traditional German Christmas Eve bratwurst at home. Their home-made brats are excellent. Is everything on the menu 100% authentic German? Not quite. This is Dallas, not Dusseldorf, and many Americans probably couldn't handle 100% authentic German fare. This means there's a variety of solid American offerings for those less enthusiastic for sauerkraut and jägerschitzel. But their staple Germany offerings--brats, schnitzel, pretzels, beverages, etc., are highly recommended. We'll keep going back. read more

We dropped in on a late Saturday afternoon for a beer around 3pm, we wanted a bit of a snack since it was between lunch and dinner so my husband ordered a soft pretzel with the pub cheese and mustard and I ordered a dessert since I have a sweet tooth and their beer selection is always on point. His pretzel came out nice and hot, fresh out of the oven and the pub cheese that it comes with is so good....I always sneak a piece of his pretzel with cheese when he orders it. One of these days I'll get my own. Now on to my dessert, I got the Apfelkuchen, pronounced "apfel-kooken" for those not fluent in German like me. It is a completely lovely apple cake that is filled with apples, cinnamon and sweetness. This cake is served cold and although I love a warm dessert, this cake was perfectly chilled and all of the flavors still sing. I love how the top of the cake has apple slices that fan out, the cake itself is very moist and dense, served with a bourbon whipped cream that was a perfect companion to the warm spices present. read more

A nice selection of beers here plus a few wines for non-beer drinkers. The community Snickerdoodle ale was refreshing. Cold pour and worth a stop just for the varieties they offer. Decent looking food, but I didn't try any. It's located in a strip mall with plenty parking. read more

We were just trying to find a new growler place with many choices that we could hit on a low traffic day - (Memorial Day) since normally traffic would prevent us from making it that far away from home. We were really surprised and Im sad that it's so far away - great beer choices!. We only tried the pretzel, but wish we had not eaten already as the menu looked great. staff were very nice as well. We might keep this gem in our pocket should we find another time to go and take our college aged boys - they love German as well. read more

Awesome neighborhood bar with a great selection of beers on tap. Friendly bartenders and a fun vibe especially on Wednesday night when select wines by the glass are 1/2 price. I've bumped into neighbors, former students, former coworkers and new friends here. Great prices. Good food. Lotsa FUN. read more

Extremely disappointed in this place, I sat at the bar for 10 minutes with zero acknowledgment and then someone else sat in and he immediately got tended to... in the words of the wise South Beach Ritz Carlton management "it's almost like you're begging to spend your money"... I looked around and noticed a pattern so I immediately left to spend my money elsewhere; it was once a friendly place to everyone but no more read more

This place is a delight for the white rock area. Every other restaurant in this outlet strip is either fairly heavy or gonna take some time to receive your order. I came here on a Saturday around 3pm. There were at least two customers in the place at all times. Their beer selection caters specifically to what youd see in Germany, from German brands like Paulander to traditional style beers like hefeweizens, doppelbocks, and even a generous selection of wine. Food wise, this place is quite scaled down. Theres a chance you may not be in the mood for anything on the menu, but from what I had, it was all a solid presentation. I ordered a meat and cheese plate, which comes with a pretzel, some nuts, and pickles. For my partner and I, this was just the right amount of food for an afternoon snack. I was tempted to order their beef stuffed grilled cheese sandwiches, but I knew I would feel bloated. They have a modest offering of sausages, and the cheese that come with it match with everything. The pretzel was way better than I thought it would be! Soft on the inside, with a delicate, but sturdy exterior to give off this pillowy chew. For the moment, they also have an apple pie/cake callled an Apfelkuchen. We ordered it cause there was no cream involved. This dessert was fantastice! Apparantly they collaborate with a bakery, so this is made locally. It comes out cold, but its quite refreshing on a hot summers day. I can imagine its also delicious warm, but its quite pleasant even when cold. Soft, gooey, yet still has that glutinous cake feel, all surrounded by fresh apples. While I feel like I have to be in the right mood, or just finished biking, this place is a great option for a casual weekend afternoon hangout. read more

Great place for a tasty beverage or bite to eat. The bar offers multiple options for beer on tap and their menu board is easy to read the different styles of beer. The pretzel and schnitzel sandwich were fantastic. There are several tables inside or some seating at the bar. The staff is friendly and informative. read more

Good food, a great selection of beers on tap, excellent service, what else do you need? The restaurant is tucked in a strip mall on Buckner Blvd close to the Dallas Arboretum and offers German Food. The menu is limited but specialized. The best thing about the menu is that whatever your dietary restriction you will find something. Good find and hope to be back next time we visit the Arboretum read more

I saw the "New Yelper" love for this place and with my love of good German beer and Gasthaus food, this became a destination to give it a try. My taste buds were begging! It is almost hidden if you come in from Buckner. The parking lot is huge! The signage is very visible once you get into the lot. As you walk in, you can see the 36 taps on the wall. The menu board is on the adjoining wall to the right with names, breweries, alcohol percentages and pricing options. Also on on the wall are the food, snack and dessert options. I was more than a little disappointed to only see 2 German brewed beers, Bitburger Pils and Paulaner Salvator. They are well known to Americans. I settled for the Lakewood bourbon barrel Temptress. I'm more of a Pilsner drinker, and I've tried to drink the Bitburger Brauerei dry too many times and still burnt out a bit 36 years later. No Bitte ein Bit for me... Seriously, they do have many of the top regional favorite small breweries on tap. The local ones were well represented. Just none my snobby nose and tongue get excited over. The food menu looked interesting. I opted for the pork Schnitzel sandwich with butterkäse and Jägersoße (buttercheese and mushroom gravy). It was good, but the roll over whelmed the flavors. Perhaps more gravy and mushrooms could have offset as it was somewhat dry. The prices are not cheap, but reasonable for the quality. The service is very friendly, accommodating, and prompt. The staff is obviously wanting to build the business. The establishment is clean and modern. Of course it is quite new. While not authentic German, it will keep most American beer drinkers coming back for more. The owners are putting an effort into making this one make it. I'll be back to try the wursts and snacks for sure! read more

Loved our meat & cheese board. It was a first try as a German approach Board so overall it was interesting. The only con was the cheese. It is more of a cheese wiz flavor instead of a beer cheese which would have been a better cheese dip for the pretzel. The schnitzel was well breaded and cooked. The side of arugula was a refreshing and made the overall meal feel light while drinking our craft beers. read more

District 9 Draught Haus - Sausage and Cheese Boards, D9 Schnitzel - German Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Came here for the vegan brat! Checked out the bathrooms first & they're clean! For some reason I thought this place would be bigger but it's decent size, cozy, but plenty of tables of various sizes and plenty of bar seats. Service is friendly & prompt even though it was just the bartender & cook when I was there. There are 25-30 beers on tap & a taste is offered if you're not sure about a full glass. The vegan brat is by Beyond so it was solid - served on a pretzel bun with plenty of mustard & kraut on the side & served with chips. I also ordered a side salad (make sure to specify no cheese or croutons for vegan) which, for the $7 price, was larger than I expected. No frills on the salad but the tomato slices looked like they'd been deseeded which was odd. Balsamic vinaigrette was the only vegan option and it was just so-so. Overall, a good lunch for a decent price & I'd come back. read more

Good service. Good atmosphere. Good beers on tap. Cool neighborhood spot. What's not to like?

The staff is SO NICE. I had an annoying day and the ambience and staff lifted my mood right away. My husband loved the kraut. I am a picky beer drinker and I was delighted at the volume of taps. My favorite feature is the little keg monitor! My personality NEEEDS TO KNOW how much of my favorite beer is left in that keg. read more

Great food and sharables like hot pretzels and cheese boards. This is a very casual unique Dallas jaunt. I like the German European twists on things and they have a great selection of beers and wines on tap. It's a fun casual smaller place and we love it. Good customer service too. The simple food of mostly thoughtful sandwiches are prepared like the chef is making it for himself or a good friend, with care. We really enjoy this place and have brought our out of town family and friends when we have the choice of many other spots. read more

If you feel like burgers, brats, and beer, this is the place to go. Old family recipe for the brats make for great brats. Also a nice choice of wines and fresh salad if bagged potato chips are not your favorite side. read more

I continue to get surprised by the hidden in plain sight spots that have great craft beer. @mictar post a picture of German spread and I wanted to jump through my phone. I begged can this be the next location for. @_dfwab_ meet up. Munich Germany was my first international trip. Probably the first time I had beer (sorry Mom), but High School Senior are of age there. Sadly, the only love I came back with has been the love of tulips. It took years later what I had the opportunity to drink. Kölsch style is one of my 1st picks when browsing a beer list. @district9dh also has a nice spread of German nosh to pair with a beer. It was filling and that was a small . Pictured is Fruh Kölsch Cologne, Germany 4.8% It was night and refreshing beer and subtle sweetness. Then, our friends at @intrinsicbrewing in good ol' Garland, TX had a wonderful Uka Uka Pineapple/Coconut Sour IPA 7.5 A knockout and so lovely. These Sours slipping in IPA element is winning me over.

District 9 Draught Haus - Beer menu - German Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Can't recommend enough. The staff is great. They walked us through the beer menu. I gave two insights to my taste and received 6 recommendations. That happens at a lot of places. However, here at District 9, the bartender gave me 6 recommendations in order of what I would be most likely to enjoy, and 4 were beers I've never had (and I REALLY like beer). I loved the new recommendations. We had the large shareable plate, which equates to a German-style charcuterie. As a fan of meat and cheese, this was perfect. The sausages were great, the pretzel was amazing, and they had perfect pairings of cheese and fruit. The atmosphere was casual. There is a bar top for a quick beer, or you can grab a table and high chairs for your family. Beer drinkers will be in heaven with, what I would contend, is the most diverse selection in the area, but for those that prefer wine, they have 8 great options for the local vino. To top it all off, this place is in a parking lot with the area's top treasures. Please come support this local business and all of its deliciousness. Footnote: the bartender "prophesied" the orders of us and 2 other couples. read more
