The Bierkeller Brewing Company is a popular German-style beer hall that offers a delightful dining experience with a scenic riverside location. The menu features classic German dishes like meatballs, spaetzle, sausage, and brussels sprouts, all complemented by a selection of great beers. The brewery sits right by the Three Rivers Greenway, providing stunning riverside views and a large, well-designed outdoor biergarten that feels peaceful and open, even on busy days. It’s dog-friendly, family-friendly, and has plenty of shade and seating—making it a perfect spot for everything from a solo beer to a group gathering. The beer is excellent—crisp, clean German-style lagers brewed with serious attention to tradition. Every pour tastes fresh and balanced, and the variety keeps both casual drinkers and beer lovers happy. The food pairs well with the beer, with options like soft pretzels, bratwurst, schnitzel sandwiches, and rotating specials that keep the menu interesting without being overwhelming. Service is friendly, fast, and laid-back, with knowledgeable bartenders and servers happy to offer samples or discuss the beer. The vibe remains calm, even during live music or trivia nights, with a relaxed atmosphere and manageable volume. Visitors often come to relax by the river with a great pint in hand, enjoying the peaceful setting and good drinks. While the riverside views and service are highly praised, some reviews noted that the food, such as the spätzle and schnitzel, could use some improvement, and the pretzel was a bit salty. Nonetheless, the bratwurst was enjoyed, and many come for a beer and the view rather than the food. It’s a cozy place to have dinner on a cold winter’s night, followed by a quick walk next to the river or canal, making for a beautiful evening with friends or loved ones.
