Very loud but what do you expect when you go to a bar / dining establishment? The burger I ordered "rare" came to be more medium, and unfortunately appetizer was a disappointment. staff was extremely friendly, they do a good job on when getting the food out but unfortunately the food itself could've been better. Overall nice environment if you want to. party / drink but not the best if you're just looking for a place to dine (this did not have anything to do with my rating as it's based off the food itself)

The food is perfectly fine, but served warm as often as it is cold (but it's never hot) and prices are pretty high. There is no hot water in the bathroom to wash with, despite many aesthetic renovations over the years, and the cushions slide off the chairs while you're sitting on them. For non-Germans seeking the illusion of an authentic experience, this place is great.

Outstanding wedding venue! Beautiful space and everyone that works there is first class. The beer hall is such a cool space. Outstanding food! The Little Bavarian's are worth going back for alone. With so much amazing local beer being made around New York, it's too bad they don't showcase that. However, if you're looking for classic German lagers, this is the place.

While driving past-after a big snowfall- we decided to stop in for a quick beer and some food in the Beer Hall! We had such a great time- as always! The food was great- as was the hospitality! The bartenders were so welcoming! We always love stopping in!
