We enjoyed our beers and the delicious food! I’m an IPA person but I loved the Kolsch I had, it was super flavorful!

I can’t rave enough about this place. The beer, of course, is fantastic. I lived in northern Europe and I love true traditional German pilsners. Most craft brewers make something they call a pilsner, but many miss the mark, making a bland light beer. Eckhart has made possibly the best German pilsner I’ve had in the states. It’s got all the subtle flavors, high notes, crisp and sharpness, depth – truly delicious and very much the paradigm of the style. Even though Eckhart doesn’t specialize in IPAs, they also make a terrific straight-ahead old-school IPA, and when we were there, they had a smokey rye beer which was unlike any other beer I’d had, and was delicious. Bonus - the food here is actually really great. We had: brotzeit – which is a platter of meats and sauerkraut and pickled veggies, and was divine; kartoffelpuffer – which is basically the world’s greatest tater tots; a delicious cucumber salad; and the “deluxe” house-made potato chips and dip, with boquerones, pickled chilis and creme fraiche – all totally amazing. I also suggest that if you can score a booth, go for it. We were in a booth and it was really cozy and nice to be able to have a conversation without shouting. So happy to have the place nearby. Definitely one of my new favorites.

Amazing European beers - Czech lager and German Pils were my favorite, but other beers were great as well.
The food was on point as well - chicken liver mousse, rillon, the pretzel they have are all very-very good.
Don't miss out on Malt and Marmite tart - it's out of this world.

Yes. Just yes.

We were invited to a family and friends preview night at Eckhart and sat with a large enough group to try a little of everything on the menu.

Highlights were mliko pours of the three traditional Czech lagers (gulp the foam), the rillon (crispy confit pork belly), the kartoffelpuffer (tallow fried potato latke), chicken liver mousse (with tart cherry jam and crackers made from spent grains), and the malt and marmite tart (made with spent grains from their German Helles.)

Space has turned out beautiful, booths are super comfy. Large tables have wood benches, but had enough space for 7 of us.

Wow! Wonderful beer, food and space. Like the beer hall of my dreams - all the beers I had were perfect examples of their styles and the food delicious! Worth going out of your way for. PS - do not skip dessert!
