Here from out of town and was looking for a place to watch Drag Race with a friend. This was one of the only places still hosting viewing parties and what a great time we had. Food and beers were impeccable and the drag show after was so fun! This bar was one of the highlights of my trip and the first thing I talk about to everyone. Would recommend! read more

Located in 12th Avenue Seattle. Parking: plenty of pay street parking or free street parking around the corner or a block behind. Been curious about this place. We always eat our bratwurst in leavenworth. Seating: plenty plenty of seating. Self seat aka pick your own seating, from Barcelona, booth, table etc. Restroom: men and women restrooms. This place is huge. Service: fast but not very happy looking people. Since today is Sunday, they have brunch menu. You can still order the regular menu except the Entree section. We ordered: Wurst and bun- a choice of bratwurst, bierwurst, harbanero cheese, chicken teriyaki etc. We picked bratwurst and bierwurst Hunter breakfast - pick harbanero and cheese wurst comes w breakfast potato, and any style of eggs Giant pretzels - comes with 3 different dipping sauce, cheese fondue, honey mustard. Our fav is the giant pretzel, 9 out of 10, it is thin crispy skin, and very soft moist airy inside. The dipping is ok. As for the wurst, we like the harbanero cheese better than the other two. Overall just ok. read more

Good place to hang out! It's a really large space with a lot of tables, and bocce ball lanes. We came for team happy hour and had a lane reservation. Since it was happy hour, they had a lot of their popular menu items at a discount. We got the giant pretzel charcuterie platter, wings, fries, and a bratwurst. Their pretzels are absolutely delicious - so soft in the middle with the classic pretzel flavor crust. I really enjoyed the giant one! I also liked the bratwurst a lot, while the wings were just alright. Drink wise, I got the elderflower cocktail which I genuinely thought was one of the best drinks I've had around here. Service was great and attentive, and we enjoyed our time here a lot! read more

I came in for a drink at the end of the night. I didn't realize what a large space they have. There is an outdoor space with some fire pits. Apparently there is a dj later in the night but I didn't stay for that. They have a full menu. By the time I was there it was bar service but they had servers earlier. They have a large menu of beers on draft. We got the German chocolate cake. It wasn't what I expected and know as German chocolate cake because it didn't have icing but was good. read more

Rhein Haus Seattle - Menu 11/8/2025 - German Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Perfect place to meet friends on a cold and wet day-- there's plenty of seats and bocce ball if you're looking for some entertainment. There was a sign at the door that said you seat yourself and order at the bar, but someone came over to help us. While it was fairly empty, I think our waiter was caught up with another big party because it took quite a while to put our drink and food order in and there was a mishap and one of the items ordered never came out until we asked about it in the middle of our meal. Our waiter was really nice and I think it may have just been an off day though! For food, I got the wurst und bun (with the bierwurst) which came with an onion and tomato relish (great flavor) and a pickle with fries. There are a few different flavors of wursts so looking forward to trying new flavors next time! Friends at the table also tried the chicken wings (I believe the sweet and spicy wings, as well as buffalo) and shared the wings were crispy and had great flavor. We also tried the roasted delicata squash-- the best part was the poppy seed praline! read more

This is a fun spot to hang out at. They have bocce ball inside and you can also hang outside by the fire pit or under the heat lanterns. Dogs are allowed outside as well. We have been here a few times. On our recent time, we ordered their large pretzel which comes with 3 sauces. It is shareable for at least a few people. My husband and I both ordered different sausages that were served on a bun with onions and French fries. I enjoyed one of the special sausages, that was a chicken tikka masala flavor. I would also recommend their spaetzle and currywurst, that I've had in the past. read more

A cozy space for beer and good eats. We stopped in on a Friday night around 5:30 and grabbed a couple of beers and a giant pretzel. The selection of beers was decent with a lot of local features. I expected to see a couple more German beers but maybe that happens more in the fall. The pretzel came out super quickly and was nice and warm. Both cheese dips were tasty and the mustard was a nice contrast. The lawn bowling was quiet but looked like it could be fun with a group. read more

Came here for dinner with friends. The sign said seat yourself so we found a table outside and did just that. We did flag a bartender inside as no one was tending to us. Our waiter come out and took our orders. To see the beer selection, you have to scan a QR code. It's not that extensive, but I guess it changes often to have it on a website rather than a set menu. Started off with the pretzel. It comes with honey mustard, beer cheese and a pimento-like dip. Pretzel was huge and a nice starter. Beers came out and those were good. I ordered the Wurst Platte with the habanero cheddarwurst. It comes with mashed potatoes and sauerkraut. The sausage was nice, but I was expecting something spicy. I just added hot sauce for spice. The mashed potatoes were dry. I'm not a big fan of sauerkraut so I skipped that. To play bocce ball, you have to go to the bartender and they charge 20-something. We thought this was free. Overall, okay food, decent beers and expensive bocce? read more

As a preface, I lived in Bayern for many years and am always on the lookout for good German food. This place isn't it, it's disappointing. It has great ambiance, but the beer is mostly bad American imitations of German beer. The food is also really disappointing. I was excited for the Jäegermeister which is alleged to be breaded in Pretzel. I'm not sure. It's just dry meat that tastes like beef tallow with no Jäger sauce and raw red cabbage piled on top with some apple in it. Everything is also ala carte. You get nothing but a piece of meat. I may come For a drink and be willing to try the Currywurst, but that's about it. read more

was craving a bratwurst and didn't want to drive all the the way to leavenworth. ordered the giant pretzel that came with three dipping sauces--pretzel was so soft, chewy, and perfect. wurst and bun - bratwurst & bierwurst both tasted the same- came with the fixings on tops which made it very acidic, fries were crispy and came with curry ketchup. lastly the hunters breakfast with the cheddar jalapeño wurst that was juicy with a little kick. read more

The food was amazing. Our table shared the giant pretzel and it was super fresh and yummy. I had the burger and that was also good. Not anything crazy special, but it's good. The service is super friendly and brings food out fast. They were also willing to split our check when some places don't like doing that. We had a group of 8 and came here around 6pm, we didn't have any issues getting a table. There is street parking and Seattle U parking nearby. Only reason I'm giving this 4 stars is because of the pricing. I think it's expensive for the food quality (even though the food is good). I think you mostly pay for the vibe. read more

I wish I could write a review of the restaurant's food, but they closed the kitchen before we could order. The story is that my senior-age parents came in from the East Coast to visit. I wanted to take my father to this place because he loves German food and atmosphere. I talked about it all day. I had work and rehearsal in West Seattle from 7AM until 8PM, and afterward I rushed across town to SLU to their hotel to grab them, rushed back to Capitol Hill, the bar, and got them there at 8:50 (they close at 10, so we thought we had plenty of time). We were told they were closing early, and we had to order by 9PM. OK. As I'm trying to place the order at 8:58, they told us they wouldn't make the food --even though they saw us and knew we had come in and were trying to order. I get that they were very slow and wanted to get out of there, but denying two mid-70s seniors from the other side of the USA who really wanted to try the food is inhospitable and pretty shameful. read more

Food was delicious I can't describe how flavorful everything was. Had Gluten free & Vegan options! Check this place out for dinner. We made reservations for a party of 4. FYI- This place turns into a night club afterwards so if you don't like EDM MUSIC leave shortly after dinner. read more

Rhein Haus offers a lively and enjoyable experience, especially for a casual after-work event. This was my first time playing bocce ball. Although I got creamed by my boss, it's okay because I'd rather lose than win to the boss ;) While I didn't get to sample the extensive beer selection (it being a work function), the schnizel, brat, and pretzels were definitely delicious and satiating. Overall, Rhein Haus strikes a great balance between fun activities and a comfortable environment. It's a solid choice if you're looking for a good time with friends or colleagues. read more

We were visiting Pike Street Market and wanted to grab some lunch and we were feeling German food. It was after 1 in the afternoon on a Saturday. Party of 4 adults. We seated ourselves as there was no one at the hostess desk. We were greeted after a bit of time from our server. We put in our drink , appetizer and meal order. It was extremely disheartening when my husband was told (after he ordered it) that the Jagerschnitzel cannot be ordered until after 3 pm. No where on the menu does ut say that. As well when he went to order a we'll know German beer - Bitburger - was told they don't have it. It's a "chain" and I guess we were expecting some German options. The service overall was okay and the food was as it expected. The pretzel and its dips were enjoyed easily with 4 adults and some leftover. I specifically ordered the German potato salad and was expecting it to be "warm" but it was different altogether than what I had before at a different German chain (Gustav) and I wasn't a fan. Pricing overall was far for the location and it did have ample seating for groups (inside and covered outside options). If you are in the area give it a shot read more

Went out for a couple drinks with some friends. It has good energy if you're looking to watch the Seahawks and they were playing other games beforehand. I tried the rainier pear which I remember being good. I preferred the mojito because the mint was good inside, although they went a little heavy on the soda water so it was a little too fizzy. I got a second mojito and a different bar tender had made it and didn't add the mint on the inside. I thought it was curious people at the same bar made the drinks differently and was a little bummed because the mint was my favorite part. All in all a good experience. read more

What happened? Used to be our go-to spot for a proper German fix - steins of great beer, solid food, the kind of place you'd bring friends and feel proud of. But somewhere along the way, the quality went straight down the drain. The food's unrecognizable now. I read they moved their chef, Pete Fjosne, from Seattle to the Denver location, and honestly, it shows. From being the top German in Seattle, it's now in the no-go... No Schweinshaxe on the menu anymore - what German restaurant drops its signature pork knuckle? The place that once felt authentic now seems to be running on fumes. I've stopped going. Perhaps in six months, I'll check again to see if there's any spark left. But if it's still like this, it'll be the last time eternally. read more

This is a legit German restaurant with their well known sausage platter and pretzels. I absolutely love both items. The portion is generous and we had to take half to go. This is also a great place for family gathering, team building, or simply hanging out with friends who have a competitive heart for sports - bocce ball! This is the first time for me playing this game, but it's fun, easy to learn and great for team building (which is what we did). read more

If you have any time of Western/Eastern European heritage, especially German/Polish, this place is a must stop to eat. My grandmother's side of the family is from Germany and the food here brings back memories of her preparing it for us on Sunday's. The portions are perfect, the food is great, and the service is impeccable. The bartenders are friendly and conversational when they are not busy (which is most of the time). In addition to great food and atmosphere, they have a bocci ball court (2 of them actually) in the back for events and is a ton of fun. read more

I had only been t this place once, but the food was delicious!!! I love German food and they nailed it! It's too bad that they closed during COVID or right after. There are other German restaurants, but their food isn't the quality that you got at this establishment. read more

Enjoyed the atmosphere, This is a large place. Great for groups or events. You can play bocce ball. I enjoyed watching people play but did not play myself. Maybe next time. The bar is very large. It is a almost 360 bar like at a Casino. They had Bartenders on both sides. They have a good selection of Bourbon and Irish Whisky. They have a nice selection of items on the menu for food. I will be back for sure to play games and maybe bring a few guest. Fun place. read more

Came here for the first time since this spot was Von Trapp's and had a great experience! The giant pretzel is incredible, that's my main must try. The jagerschnitzel wasn't for me, although the slaw was good, I just didn't prefer the beef cutlet. The cheesy spatzle was incredible, so soft and cheesy. The currywurst was good, fries could have been seasoned more. The drinks were my second favorite part, after the giant pretzel. I would recommend the the blueberry mule and the spicy margarita. Good ambiance, the bar is gorgeous. Bathrooms are clean! One of the best parts of the experience though was the service. Our waitstaff were super attentive and service was fast. My group ended up leaving after dinner and going to another spot nearby. We realized maybe 45 minutes later that my mom had left her phone somewhere. I went by myself back to Rhein Haus and asked bar staff if they'd found a phone. A bartender and another staffer (I think maybe a manager?) helped me look for the phone even though no one had brought it up to the bar (I ended up being able to pinpoint it more with find my iphone which they told me to check, I completely forgot I could do that). I ended up finding it from a random group of people who had picked it up off a table, but the staff were so so helpful and it made my night! read more

Came to Rhein Haus to watch the UW football game (13-0!!!!) and hang with a larger group of people. All of the tables without reservations were already taken up so we grabbed seats at the bar so I recommend coming early if you have a larger group. I got the sour from Great Notion Brewing which was a bit too sweet for my taste - tasted like cherry chapstick to me - but the other beer selections were great. We also split a big pretzle with was incredible! Came with a few cheese sauces and mustard and we dove right in. It was super fluffy and flavorful with big chunks of salt. Perfect compliment to some beer and a football game. read more

For food during the day, this place is great. The service is also very good. Once it turns into a club at night, everything goes down hill. I know way too many people who have been drugged and it has been this way for years. Do not go here after 10 pm. read more

Update I emailed the email provided in their response, and never heard back from them. Again please don't waste your money here!

Good beer selection. The giant pretzel we ordered was hot to the touch, but cold in the center and the dipping sauces were extremely underwhelming. Beer cheese sauce solidified almost immediately. read more

I was really impressed by the ambience of the place' it was huge, and had that European vibe! There was outside seating but we sat inside the "beer hall" close to the bocce ball area! There was a huge mural of mt ranier (I think?) The employees were extremely friendly and attentive, especially our server! The food looked good! Made for great content. The taste... meh. It wasn't disgusting, it was good, not great. We ordered the currywurst with frites, jägerschnitzel and schweinsaxe. They looked sooo good. I think what I enjoyed the most was the currywurst with fries. Jagerschnitzel was alllright, idk kind of bland. Even with the purple cabbage and mushroom gravy. I tried sprinkling some salt to see if that would enhance the flavor- it did not. It might just be *my palate. Who knows? My partner had the schweinsaxe and finished it but he wasn't blown away by it. He asked for a side of gravy which made it better! He opted out of the cream corn and had the German potato salad with it it also came with I believe roasted summer squash- that also was delicious! I liked the summer squash with the (I think) hazelnut pesto. Overrall it was a great date night. I had great company and the place had a vibe. Food could've been better, but it also could've been so much worse! read more

Rhein Haus continues to impress me with their dinner! I used to frequent this bar in my early 20s to drink and socialize but having gone back several times recently, their food is actually amazing! Most of it has a German twist. Some highlights were the sausage platter, the schnitzel, the burger, and the cheesy spaetzle. The cocktails are good too and it's a fun, bustling atmosphere. read more

Lived in Germany when we were married, so like to do anniversary celebrations in Leavenworth. This year, unable to reach Leavenworth because of the flooded out hwy, decided to visit Rhein Haus to celebrate our 55 years of marriage. EXTREMELY disappointed. The food was all too salty, and too greasy! The atmosphere is loud; NO comfortable seats - high tables / benches, no backs. Loud, with sports-tuned TVs everywhere you look. Obviously, we aren't part of the demographic for this pub - we expected an actual restaurant, but obviously, this is a kneipe without the gemütlichkeit. read more

I have mixed feelings on this spot. I came in for my first visit on a busy Friday night. There was a very prominent security presence, which was fine, I appreciate their dedication to keeping the space safe. We sat near the bar, and though it was super busy, the wait staff was pretty good about getting to us quickly, and when they were otherwise occupied, service at the bar was quick. Our ordered food and drinks came out quickly and were quite good. Don't sleep on the giant pretzel and beer cheese-it's enough to share. At 1000, the bar area turns into a dance floor; they move all the tables out, and the dj starts spinning some dance music. We headed over to the bocce ball courts (lanes?) for a bit and were posted up at these little tables attached to the side of the wall next to where folks were playing. There were 3-4 of these tables spaced throughout the walkway, and they were all pretty crowded. At some point, a security personnel came to us and yelled, "You can't stand here. You have to move" at the 3 of us who were standing around the small table and watching our friends play bocce. No explanation, just... move. We moved away from the table and noticed that no one else at the other small tables were asked to move despite blocking the walkway with the size of their group. If we had been standing in the middle of the walkway or if we were a large group blocking the walkway or causing a ruckus I'd get why they had to approach us like they did, but the three of us were just chilling with our drinks. I found this interaction really off-putting, and we left shortly after. Overall, I'd give 3.5 stars if Yelp would let me. It seems like it could be a fun place to hang out; hopefully, my experience is a one-off. read more

I've heard all the good things about Rhein Haus. I recently came here for my alumni event. Rhein Haus is conveniently located in Capitol Hill, however, as you can imagine, the parking is a bit challenging. The place is big enough to hold large parties, and their beer selection is impressive with good German beers. Now to the food... I know for sure that I will probably not be back for food. The beer here is fantastic but the food is awful. If you are looking for a place to watch a game with crowds or hang out with friends, I think this is a great place. read more

The beer garden is such a fun summer spot! They had plenty of reservations available for a Tuesday evening, and we had a choice of eating inside or outside upon arrival. Luckily, it was a beautiful evening, so we decided to eat outside. Our server was so funny and delightful, she was attentive and able to work around our allergies. I shared the Grillwurst Schmankerl plate with another person because we couldn't decide which sausage to order. I wish they explained each sausage we were served, but it was not too hard to guess. It comes with each type of sausage from the Wurst Plate (6 total). My table also ordered the giant pretzel to share, which was delicious (FYI, it comes with 3 dips and is covered in butter and salt). read more
