The Wandering Bock Pretzel Pub & Brat Haus

Definitely the best pretzel I’ve ever had, took my girlfriend and we enjoyed the entire experience, the owner has soul and compassion with his concept which is refreshing to see in a local business in Lexington

Rad spot with a bunch of German beers. The owner is a big beer guy with some good stories. Worth a stop if you want to grab a drink. Big soccer bar too it seems like.

Best pretzels i have ever had. Owners are great and so pleasant to talk too.

This place is amazing. Buddy and I are from out of town, came for the Texas v UK football game (one fan of each) but we’re both Arsenal fans. Came here on a whim and my goodness am I glad we did. What a fun atmosphere. Small venue, perfectly small menu of pretzel brats (sorta… lots of options of what to add on), yummy desert pretzel bites, and a massive beer selection. Thanks for a great Saturday mid-afternoon. 🙏

I love this place! I watch soccer there with friends as often as I can. Great selection of beers & ciders (including Guinness on tap!) & absolutely the best pretzels I’ve ever had with a great selection of sauces and dips. But for me, the A-listers of The Bock are the bratwürst creations served on pretzel buns. As of October, 2025, they’ve got 28(!) different named menu choices for them, ranging from traditional fare like sauerkraut & German mustard to some truly inspired culinary concoctions like my current favorite, which is topped with hot pepper relish, cherry preserves, peppadew, & Cuban mustard. As the critters on Yo Gabba Gabba say, “Try it! You’ll like it!”

The Old Guys Pub Crawl love this place. We were here a few weeks earlier and put it on our quick to return list because of all the German and Belgium beers. Plus, the guy here is a great host. This time some of the older crawlers had the big sausages. Well, food. Let's just go with they had food. So this time we spent our entire nap time here, having a good time. Out of 144 bars this is one of many repeat stops. We have now gone to 97 different local bars. The old guys total age, when added together is 368. We'd possibly call it the 368 Pub Crawl but the dudes keep getting older.

The best pretzel in Lexington. I watched the owner bake my pretzel right in front of me, talk about fresh! Warm, golden, and perfectly chewy. The beer on tap was a great match, and the smoked garlic dip is a total must-have. Can’t wait to come back!

I don't usually post reviews, tbh, but this place deserves it! The pretzels are legitimately the best in town and borderline an addicition at this point. I just hope the owner doesn't judge me for being back as often as I am!
