It was a dive...which is what I was looking for. Service at the bar was good, and prices were really good. I had two beers and some fried mushrooms for $15. I had to check the bill to make sure they got everything. In FL the would be $25 easy. But it's not cold in FL like it is in MI so we'll call it the snow surcharge. People were friendly and gave me advice on Ford museum. I'd def come back! read more

A large group of us went here after a wedding and had a blast! It's your typical bar but it serves cheap drinks and great fried food. Service is friendly, too! Good party spot. read more

The Biergarten has such a great vibe--definitely one of those spots where you see people of all ages hanging out together. The atmosphere is lively, perfect for grabbing drinks with friends or even just stopping by solo. The bar is well stocked, the beer is cold, and the cocktails are done right. Food was better than I expected for a bar--really tasty and went great with the drinks. Service was friendly and quick too. Overall, just a fun, welcoming spot and easily one of the best bars in Dearborn. read more

A group of eight of us went to The Biergarten for our end of year celebration. We were seated at a comfy, large table, and service was quick and friendly. We had one of almost every appetizer - they were all good! A few of us also had burgers, which were also yummy. We had an all round great experience. read more

Amazing food! I'd definitely recommend. Also the trivia rocks! 10 out of 10. Do yourself a favor and check it out! :) read more

This is a great place if you're looking for a local bar with classic vibes, great beer selection, and good bar food.

Great value for your money. It is a local bar so expect a local group of people. But we enjoy the place

Good food Good prices Great beer selection Located in Downtown Dearborn Perfect watering hole for any event read more

The Biergarten - Thursday Taco - Pubs Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

See all

I have been here many times and I think Thursday is the best night by far. The bartender has a way of making everyone smile. Beers and beverages are cheaper here then anywhere else I've been in the area. They just got more beer on tap and have an impressive selection of canned beers with emphasis on Michigan and some German classics. The food has always looked delicious, but I just confess when I'm here I'm usually in a liquid diet. So I've only samples some items. If you are looking for high end. Expensive, loud music or night club like, this isn't your spot. If you want a nice bar to hang out and have a drink with friends, this is one of my favorites. read more

Went here with a couple of friends late on a Thursday night. The waitress was extremely rude to us and treated us terribly. The inside was dirty and gross and the food was not good. The ambience was dead so I'm assuming that others are realizing this place is a no-go. Absolutely would not return. read more

Should have read the reviews to better set my expectations. I thought there'd be a big selection of beer on draft with a name like biergarten, but that's not the case. This is more of a dive bar with a clearly old interior, and faint cigarette smell. Most of the beers I saw were canned. I'll give them props for having a lot of Michigan made beers. The one bartender was seemingly unexcited to have customers in the middle of the day and didn't make any attempt to chat. Cans were pulled from the cooler and we were given plastic cups to pour our own beers. read more

The Biergarten - M-43 hazy IPA - Pubs Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

The sliders are great! This place is a small hole in the wall that you should stumble upon.

The beer was cheap and the chicken wings were decent. The service was not the greatest, but there was only 3 people working and it was pretty busy for a Thursday. They had outdoor seating as well which is nice. I will definitely go back. read more

Poor beer selection and NO social distancing. Did you have hope that this place would defy your low Downriver expectations? I did, but sadly it only confirmed stereotypes. Stick to Wyandotte, where at least you can find decent draft selection and business-owners who appreciate your safety. read more

Jake and I thought we'd come here after reading the great reviews here on Yelp. When we arrived, we were the only customers in the entire bar. It was a little awkward because we were expecting some sort of hopping going on in a bar on a Friday night... Weird. There was one bartender/waiter whose eyes were glued to the big screen TVs. I'm surprised he noticed us at all. We got menus and both ordered the same thing: a cheeseburger, medium, with an order of French fries. Jake originally ordered chili, but the guy told us they were out of it. And onion rings. Bummer. Jake and I ordered a couple adult beverages and headed to the pool table. It only cost $.75 to play! Unfortunately, there was no 8 ball, haha, so we kinda improvised. We told the waiter and he came and opened a secret door on the table stand and gave it to us. That was fun. Our food came out mid-game and we paused to eat. The burger was DELICIOUS. It was juicy, well-seasoned and just the right size. And cheap, too... I think it was $3.75. The fries were really good, too. Nice and crunchy. Overall, the atmosphere suffered because there was no one there to enjoy it with us... but the food was good and the bill was cheap... Two things I appreciate. Id definitely go back. (They only accept credit card if the bill is over $20.) read more

This was a find, a real gem. We were looking for a place for a good burger on a Saturday night. It's a great old time neighborhood bar. We split the fried pickles and the sliders. They were delicious! If we ever get back to Dearborn, we will go back. Reminded me of the Billy Joel song, Piano Man! read more

The Biergarten has always been a great little local dive bar but they have stepped up their game in recent weeks. They have gone to outdoor - beer garden - only service. What a great idea! And they are making sure everyone wears masks and stays safe, while always being nice and friendly. If you never been, you need to go for Taco Thursdays when they make authentic steak and pork tacos. Delicious. Thanks Biergarten for being safe, responsible but still fun. read more

This place is a ball. It looks a bit divey inside but you can tell the locals love jt. They have trivia nights. They have Samuel Adams Cherry Wheat on tap (a rarity). Great service and lots of fun. read more

Everyone at work talks about this place, old and young. I was finally able to make it over to this place and was not disappointed. The beer prices are very cheap and you can get some great craft beers under their cheap beer prices too! I've had a club sandwich and wings here and both were very good. The bartender and waitress we had were really friendly as well. read more

I don't give one star reviews often. This place is the most awful bar I've been to in the state of Michigan. The one time I ate there, my cheeseburger was horribly overcooked, the waitress was not apologetic, and the manager didn't offer to make it right in any way. Other times I was there for drinks with friends, sometimes after work and sometimes for karaoke. The crowd was rude, the DJ was obnoxious, the wait at the bar to get a beer is typically an eternity as the bartender chit chats with the regular customers. "Beer garden"? Hope you like Michelob or Miller Lite. Their selection is awful. Stay away from this place at all costs. read more

A hole in the wall bar with less than average service. It was too cold to sit outside, but I think the outside environment would have been much better than inside. Super busy and understaffed but that is to be expected during covid. The food was average and the beer is bottled/ canned read more

I've only had the cheeseburger and fries, but they're great! Flavorful, juicy patty (even if it doesn't come out medium), topped with American and a mild Swiss. The fries have always been steaming hot and crisp, just the way they should be. Excellent meal, fairly priced. The first two times we came here, we were just about the only ones in the place, which is never the most comfortable. We went last night, though, and it was hopping. It was nice to see some life in the place. There was a DJ doing music and karaoke, which was a little loud for me (although we were right next to his little booth), but was entertaining. A couple small negatives: -When busy, the place feels a little cramped. -There was only one waitress. She was friendly and as attentive as she could be, but they could have maybe used another waitress. -It's a small thing to gripe about, but they don't stock Stoli. Overall, it's a great place and I'm positive we'll keep going back for the burgers. read more

Another Dearborn dive bar, we like 'em that way. Since Howell's burned down this should be your new go-to burger and beer place. The Ford people shuffle in and eat free popcorn but its rather slow by nighttime. Beer selection is the minimum but definitely sufficient. Food is all fried but they still have some good stuff for a health freak like me, fried zucchini and sweet potato tots for instance. One pool table. Free parking in the back lot, off Garrison. (They don't have ginger beer and can't make you a moscow mule.) read more

Favorite local spot. Simple, easy going place. Burger and a beer anytime. Tacos on Thursday's are awesome. And their wings are seriously up there. Bring your own special sauce though if you're some kind of wing nut. they just have ranch or BBQ. read more

Great food and cheap Great staff 10 beers on tap Many domestic 65 or more "specialty" beers read more

The Biergarten - Tacos and wings - Pubs Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

This place has been my home for over 12 years. I now live half a mile from the Biergarten, and my feelings are the same -- excellent dive bar for townies with great food. The fried balogna is still a guilty pleasure of mine, although on Thursdays, Carmen makes some seriously excellent tacos. I come in and get 5 mixed tacos and a few rusty nails to boot. Ever since they remodeled the front of the building, it's felt a bit like a speakeasy -- no sign out front to advertise to the world. Kind cool in my book. read more

This is one of my favorite bars ever. I love the easy atmosphere & the family owned feeling of the bar, you don't have to come here too many times before you are considered family too. Great food, great prices, great service, never a cover charge...all in all, great neighborhood/dive bar. The only thing I don't care for it Karaoke on Saturday nights but every other night I love the place! read more

Usually, when a place is ironically named it's a pretty bad sign. In The Biergarten's case, this is the exception that proves the rule. The Biergarten isn't really a beer place. But it is a great little hole-in-the-wall. On tap, you'll find all the usual suspects, Bud, Bud, Bud Light, the rare Blue Moon if you're fancy. But the diner food is good enough to make you forgive this. The best known dish is the fried bologna sandwich, which is a little slice of awesome if you have fond memories of bologna sandwiches as a kid. And still pretty good even if you don't. It's a really thick cut of veal bologna cut in half and pan fried, then served with caramelized onions between two slices of toasted rye bread. You can add mustard and/or mayo if that's your thing. Outside of that, you'll find a lot of old diner standbys, like reubens and patty melts. All of which are good, but none quite as spectacular as the bologna. As an added bonus, the ceiling tiles are all made of business cards from local shops, many of whom haven't been in business for 20 years. You really can't beat that. read more

Great service. The spirits list made it really convenient being from out of state. Highly recommend the fried pickles. So good.

Went Here once I dont think I will ever go back. Just not my kind of place, as much as I like going to a bar with no one in it, I usually refrain. Its a great place if you don't want to have too much fun, and for some reason it is a top nightlife place around the area, I guess thats kinda indicative of the Yelp demographic. A dumpy little corner bar In No Way A Nightlife Spot, from a former bouncer that worked in the nightlife service industry. Hey they got GoldenTee! read more

The Biergarten has a good selection of domestic, imported and local beers at reasonable prices as well as a full bar. They have the best overall beer selection in Dearborn. Their kitchen serves hamburgers and other sandwiches, again at very reasonable prices. In my case, it was $3.75 for a perfectly prepared 1/3 lb. cheeseburger with 2 different kinds of cheese. The atmosphere of the place is fun and casual. Most of its clientele are folks in the mid-20s and on into their 30s. They have a pool table and there's never a shortage of people willing to play. The Biergarten also features Karaoke - or at least they do on Saturday nights. I'm not sure about the other nights of the week. I have to admit that I'm really not a fan of Karaoke, but there's something about Karaoke at the Biergarten that inspires some of my friends to buy me drinks. For that, I'll put up with Karaoke. You'll just find me over by the pool table. read more

I'm a tad embarrassed to say that I've lived in the Dearborn area for almost 9 years and tonight was my first visit to The Biergarten. What can I say? It's not one of those places that catches your eye as you're cruising down Michigan Avenue looking for something to do. In fact, if friends hadn't asked us to meet them there, the hubs and I would not have gone tonight. But thank God for pushy friends! This is literally the gem of casual dive bars. It looks like one of those places that you think will have nothing but cans of Natty Light, but they have an impressive selection of imported beer and top shelf liquor. I was drinking Sprineapples (I made up the name but it's Pineapple Skyy Vodka + Sprite). I make them at home and these were just as good. And cheap! Hubs and I ordered 2 dinners, an appetizer, and 4 drinks and it came to $30! The food is more than just bar food. They have a nice selection of salads and sandwiches and everything was quite tasty. Our server was also quick and attentive. We even taught her how to correctly pronouce Smithwicks and she expressed her gratitude. The place is so relaxed that anyone from Donald Trump to the 'Eat Em' Up Tigers' guy would feel comfortable. It doesn't draw attention to itself so I imagine the owners rely more on word of mouth than neon signs. I just got home and I'm ready to go back and hang out! read more

Lived in Dearborn for 2 years, and this was a diamond in the rough. Living in the shadow of Miller's Bar, this place goes unnoticed on the drag of Michigan Ave that is Dearborn, MI. We frequented this bar for their daily beer specials and burgers. Its a dive bar and we have never left there unsatisfied. Prefer it to all the other bars in the area, including Miller's. read more

This is a classic dive bar that haven't changed in a while. The food is good. Prices are awesome. I'll be back.

Great dive bar. Inexpensive, lots of regulars, good food and great service.
