With their closing, I really wished I paid more patronage to this place. After a long day and the start to my weekend, I came in for a beer and joked with the bartender for the boot - which they actually do have! While the kitchen is closed (which is a shame since the food was true traditional German cuisine), they still have a full bar. There is indoor and outdoor seating shared with R Town Pizza, and with such nice weather and table settings, it makes for the perfect late afternoon spot. March 29th is the last day to enjoy your last pint of German beer... or boot of it...

A unique to me potato salad because it wasn't mayo based. It was delicious. The schnitzel was also good it came with lemon slices, that gave it a fresh element. We found out they are closing at the end of the month which is disappointing, but future endeavors are in the works. Go if you can you only have a few more weeks to enjoy some great German food!

Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town!

Sad to hear that Von Bismarck is closing down -- it's truly one of Reno's great spots. I stopped in…read morewhile visiting from out of town, and it ended up being one of the most memorable meals of the trip. I grabbed a seat at the bar, where the bartender was incredibly friendly and helpful, making the experience even better. Started off with a Kölsch -- light, crisp, and refreshing, the perfect beer to settle in with. For food, I began with the pretzel and Obatzda cheese spread, which was fantastic. The pretzel was soft, fresh, and warm, and the cheese spread was rich and flavorful -- a perfect combo. For entrées, we ordered the Schweineschnitzel and the Rauch Hänchen. The schnitzel was excellent -- tender, flavorful, and cooked just right -- but the smoked/fried chicken drumsticks completely stole the show. Hands down some of the best fried chicken I've ever had. The breading was perfectly crispy, the chicken was juicy and piping hot, and the smoky flavor came through beautifully. The drizzle of honey sauce on top added just the right touch of sweetness to balance everything out. I savored every bite -- I'd honestly go back just for that chicken. If you haven't been yet, make a point to visit before they close their doors. If I lived in Reno, I'd be there at least once a week. Von Bismarck will definitely be missed.

The total cost was about $14 and the cups were pretty full; the contents were enough for a meal for one rather than just a snack. The mini dough-wrapped hotdogs were good and even though the original version was tasty, I ended up preferring the cheesy version. My interaction with the employees was brief but they were nice and courteous enough; so overall, my visit to Werzel's Pretzels was a positive experience.

It was still pretty crowded which was nice to see, so we grabbed a spot at the bar. The bartender was friendly and quick to serve us. We ordered some draft beers, they had a good selection available. We then ordered the Crab and Artichoke skillet as an appetizer, and the Stuffed Avocado salad and Fish and Chips as our entrees. The skillet came out first but shortly after we received our entrees. That was actually a good thing because they were a good compliment to eat all together. It was more than enough food for 2 people and everything was delicious. The stuffed Avocado salad was interesting and it was delicious. The fish and chips were good, the fish was more of a tender which was actually nice because it wasn't greasy. Not sure I would order it again because there are so many other good options on the menu, but it was good. The artichoke and Crab skillet was excellent as well. We both left satisfied and impressed by the overall quality and service, already planning to go back again when the patio opens because they will let you have dogs which is always a big bonus!

The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and it's clear they've thought of everything to make it family‑friendly. Beer: We tried the Spa Lager -- an American lager infused with cucumber and lemon -- and it was absolutely delicious. Light, crisp, and super refreshing. They have a full line up and also offer flights. Definitely have to check out others next time I visit. Food: For lunch, we shared the "Go To Pizza" and their Tatanka wings -- both were flavorful and came out hot and fresh, a real step up from typical brewery bites. Extra Perks: One of the coolest things is their outdoor garden area, which seems perfect for larger gatherings. They also have a rooftop space and a dedicated kids' area with kid‑friendly shows -- a huge plus for families. Events: They offer daily events, and we saw they have a fun lineup coming up -- including a singles night, a Mother's Day brunch, and they even serve breakfast. Lots of reasons to come back.
