    Cold pint of their house IPA
    Tim P.

    Stopped by here on a Sunday night after discovering other restaurants closed early on Sunday for winter hours. They have an extensive can and bottle beer coolers, and a nice selection of draft beers. We opted for their house IPA and lager selections. Everyone liked their beer choices. I ordered the bratwurst with sauerkraut. Brats were ok but really enjoyed the sauerkraut. Two got the beer cheese soup and another a Caesar salad with chicken. The beer cheese soup was good but needed to be a little warmer. My wife enjoyed her salad. I enjoyed the beer hall look of the restaurant.

    Lots of great beer options. The House beers were tasty. Lots of TVs for sports events and plenty of seating. Food menu looked good

    This place had an amazing selection of beers! I didn't know where to start! We ended up ordering a cider, I cannot recall which one. It was delicious! They had so much to choose from in the coolers as well. We were going to stay for food, but the menu didn't have anything that peaked my interest. It's okay, they had enough beer selection, the food didn't bother me. I will be back here the next time I'm in town.

    We thought about taking the cold food home but decided it wasn't worth the effort or energy.

    This place is great *if* you're coming just for the beer--especially if you prefer minimal interaction, since they don't have table service. However, I would not recommend coming here for a meal. I used to enjoy the pretzel and some of the other food, but my last few visits have been disappointing. Most recently, the food quality was just bad. My Reuben sandwich had cold meat--seriously, cold meat on a Reuben? And the pretzel was hard and cold, nothing like what I remembered. You can't order drinks through the QR code, which adds to the hassle. We ordered our food via QR code, then had to go inside and wait in line for *over 18 minutes* just to place the order. Then, to make things more confusing, the staff called us to ask if we had placed an order, and we ended up meeting someone outside to get our food--only to find that other people had taken our table while we were essentially doing the job of the servers ourselves. The staff we did interact with were friendly, and surprisingly, the busser was the person we saw the most--twice. It's just strange not to have any dedicated service in a sit-down setting. I still tipped 18%, but honestly, the experience left a lot to be desired.

    Well this is delicious

    I think it's time to write this review. I've visited Eugene twice and The Bier Stein has made both visits. And it's the small things that make this place so cool: 1. Like a magazine rack with brewer magazines. Am I the only nerd thrilled about this? 2. The little pumpkin stickers to mark pumpkin beers in the coolers. 3. Really cheap Pilsner glasses for sell (sadly mine broke in my luggage on the way home). I would rate the food as moderately better than bar food. Things came out hot and had the flavor of a kitchen that knows what it can do well in a reasonable amount of time. Yay, you made it this far! Trivia: T or F - The Oxford English Dictionary definition of "bier" is a ceremony of drinking malted beverages with friends and family.

    Chicken cordon bleu slider
    Andrea P.

    Family friendly beer hall with "Gemanish" food and beer. The soft pretzel was great. The chicken cordon bleu sliders and fries were nice. Bier cheese soup was salty. Sat at the bar and the servers were excellent and helpful. Beer hall style set up with high ceilings and loud acoustics. Vibrant and lively.

    Mac-N-Cheese
    Allison P.

    I went here specifically to try the mac and cheese at the recommendation of my boss. My friends got the chips and guac as well as the mac and cheese, and we only got a small container of guac for a big price. It was good guac, but it wasn't worth the price for sure so we wouldn't get it again. The mac and cheese was good. It was creamy and soupy which is not something I was mad at. It was perfectly cheesy and had a nice layer of breadcrumbs and melted cheese on top. My friends felt it was too soupy, but I enjoyed it and would order it again. The service was pretty good. We got our food quickly and didn't have any problems. It was pretty quiet at the time we went so we got to just look around and take in our surroundings. There was some traditional German decoration along with a wall of fridges with craft beers, which we didn't check out as none of us drink. The bathrooms were clean and easy to find. The restaurant as a whole was pretty clean and easy to move throughout. I would go back for sure.

    Five happy customers.
    Ralph M.

    On our way to the airport from Bandon Dunes Golf Resort, five of us stopped here for lunch. That was a great decision!!! This place is amazing and it appears to be a local favorite. The service was very good, the beer selection awesome and the food was top notch. My Mac and Cheese topped with grilled bratwurst was excellent. My friend's meatloaf sandwich was delicious (he shared a bit with me) and my other friend's bratwurst with sauerkraut appetizer was yummy. The next time I visit Eugene, I will definitely stop here.

    Bratwurst Sando and side salad. Yum!
    David T.

    I don't normally mention salad when I'm talking beer, but it's Eugene so here we are. Anything goes in this glorious little oasis. But at least I'll make it quick: yum! When even the side salad is delicious at a place where it's almost literally an afterthought, you know it's a place that takes the customer experience seriously. Which it does. So much beer! So many tap choices! Such delicious food! Such nice servers! Like Eugene itself, the Bier Stein is a wonderful escape with an easy vibe. Come here and get lost in it. You'll fit right in. And order the Bratwurst Sando while you're at it.

With that meal you will experience actual satisfaction and contentment. That's the first thing I have to say in case you're reading for a recommendation of what to order. Even better if you have it late night after experiencing the best Handel's Messiah concert at the Hult in December. I had a small slider of corned beef along with his amazing fresh Kale salad garnish with shaved Parmesan, walnuts, added protein -- sausage. It came with a toasted slice of soda bread that was great. But the slider was how I realized the corned beef was PERFECTLY prepared. A taste was not enough; I decided to get the dinner plate version to take the next day up to Seattle with me. Fantastic staff included Barkeep Illyia, whose birthday it was. She kept up a steady stream of attentive care, skillful service, friendly banter with each of the clients that came in and said good by to them as they left. Hospitality was her middle name. Love that they have mugs for the regulars hanging from the ceilings, the bar space is great but so are the arm chairs and cushioned seats in the corners of the pub. I even ran into two other concertgoers who had also been so energized after the Messiah concert that they didn't want to go home. We spent a half hour at the bar unpacking the highs and best points of the performance by the Eugene Symphony Orchestra, and the symphony choir, and each of the soloists. We also unanimously agreed the tenor was fantastic, the baritone a paragon of artistic talent, the soprano sang incandescently, and that the final AMEN movement was soul healing and mind blowing simultaneously. Yeah. It was that good. This place was the right place to come to unpack it all over a Guinness and the best corned beef and cabbage in town. Love that it was open late enough to enjoy after the concert. Will be back.

It was thick slab corned beef, perfectly tender. I also got their pretzel with the beer cheese sauce. To be honest, the beer cheese wasn't my favorite...was a little gooopy and the texture wasn't great. But, the pretzel was fantastic. It has the salt, the chew, and it was a great size. I also got their colcannon. It was great! Creamy and delicious. I ordered their brown gravy too because I like gravy with my potatoes and it was hearty and a big side for the price. All in all, i definitely recommend the pint pot!

    We went to their new public house for dinner on a Wednesday and the place was hopping. Their new…read morebuilding is very cool (and not quite done yet!). The new public house is pretty much behind their original spot, overlooking Coburg Road. We sat in a booth with very tall walls that felt very private but I don't feel like I could tell you the vibe of the rest of the restaurant. Since I was sitting in the back of the booth, I could only see two other tables that were along the windows and the traffic going by in the dark. Next time we'll ask not to sit in a booth so we can see more of the restaurant. Our server informed us that the public house was split into two sections. We were in the full-service restaurant part and there was a more casual (order at the counter?) section by the front door for people that just wanted to grab a beer and sit at a communal table. Our server was excellent. Not the typical Eugene service from him! He answered our questions about the beers and brought us tastes and had all the answers ready about the food. They were out of two things (understandable at such a new spot) but I noticed that they had already changed their menu a few times in the few short weeks they've been opened. Yay for seasonal menus!! Our party went super basic and we all ordered the Butter Burger (the butter is mixed into the patty so it helps the burger caramelize) which came with fries. We also split the grilled potato salad(served chilled), which was a good sized portion to split with our group of five. My kiddo got the wings (sauceless) and fries. We'll be back to try more of the menu items and sit at a table without walls.

The beer I tried Minute After Midnight was very good and thoroughly enjoyable. Now for the downside. The food. The Butter Burger resembles a regular McDonald's hamburger, the patty is grossly over seasoned and completely unenjoyable. As shown in the picture the bun was burned on the inside and the outside. It was very unpalatable. The Pretzel was large and warmed through nicely however the overall quality of the pretzel was that of a common bulk discount store. They placed four very small slivers of cheese on it that did very little to improve the flavor and appearance of the pretzel. That being said the mustard dipping sauce was very good. The French fries were spot on and very enjoyable particularly with the garlic aïoli that was served with the unimpressive hamburger. And finally let's get to the Delicata squash , unfortunately I will spend the rest of my life trying to remove the taste of that culinary disaster from my taste buds. The appearance of the dish is a complete disaster the aroma is as repulsive as wondering into a public bathroom shortly after someone spent far too long blowing up the toilet. I made the mistake of tasting it, that left a mark. The texture was the best thing about the dish with as poor as the texture was. The flavor was so putrid that I had to spit it into a napkin. It was a totally unpleasant experience. The ambience was warm and inviting. It would've helped if they had a section where kids could be, so the noise does not bother the customers that went to an adult location like a taproom to enjoy an adult beverage. I do believe this establishment does potential. The servers are amazing and the beer I tried was excellent. They do however need to fire whoever has created the menu and the recipes. The food is truly a crime against humanity. I truly hope they can get the quality of the food under control. I would be willing to give them another try if in fact the menu and food is corrected.

A Beer Club has been on recent lists of best beers bars in the country. From the outside it seems like just another bar in a commercial plaza, windows and bright lit beer signs in the windows. But inside it was quick to see why this place is special. To the left are fridges filled with amazing bottles and cans from mostly local breweries. The selections here are special ones, not what you can find from these breweries in a normal grocery store. There's even one door blacked out that's for members of the club, a curated selection of even more amazing things. The interior is bright and well lit, with the walls covered in bottles collected over the years. The bartender George was friendly and welcoming to my group; their tap list is also fantastic so we were able to pick and choose whatever we wanted in flight sizes. There was another employee that explained their beer selection and showed us a phone book sized binder filled with more selections! The special treat was the two gentlemen at the bar trying special bottles, who gave us the generous leftovers to enjoy and taste. I could see this place easily being a usual haunt if I lived nearby. If you're a beer fan in Eugene, this is a must-visit stop!
