Old German Beer Hall

I’ve never been treated so badly by staff anywhere, ever. We were a group of eight on Monday June 30th, about 3 PM. Had a drink at the bar while waiting for a table to clear. Bartender did “cheers” with us as she downed a shot. When we got seated we noticed they had an e-commerce service that you could scan and place your order. Since we had six separate checks and it appeared they were short staffed we thought this would be a good way to order. As soon as the first order was entered the bar tender came to the head of our table and shouted “I’m Here, I’m Here” scolding us for using the app. She was very rude, walked away and slammed the little cubby hole door that goes back to the bar.

AJ (the cook?) brought our food out. He too was very rude saying he doesn’t know who ordered what and began piling food on the table. A little while later he brought out our last food order and threw the plate on the table knocking over a mustard bottle then just walked away.

No apologies for their behavior from anyone. We were all just stunned.

This place checks all the boxes on everything from the food to the people. This is a must

Great place for lunch, and kid friendly! Highly recommend! Get the wurst platter and a liter of beer!

Just came for the beer. Stayed for the ppl and conversations. Amazing place with amazing service. I can't recommend this place enough. Also, the music playlist... Legendary!

Definitely reminds me of Hofbrau in Munich. So fun. Great beer food and service.

Outstanding atmosphere

We had an excellent time at OGBH! Food was hot, fresh, and well priced in comparison to other German restaurants in the area.

Wonderful German sausage and bier any time of day.

Great beer, great friends, great atmosphere. Always great service.

I didn’t eat anything here. Actually just popped in to meet up with colleagues before a Bucks game. Grabbed a Dunkel and got to know new business associates. Loved this little place. The Nail Game was going on in the back dining area. The bar has personal steins for the regulars.

Wanted to like it way more than I did. Got the platter, and all the sides just kind of bled into each other.

Pretzel was delicious though

One of the bars I always take friends to when visiting MKE. Throw together amazing German Bier, Usinger's Fine Sausage, live music and perfectly worn edges that make it instantly comfortable, this is a fun stop on a Milwaukee Bar tour.

They have amazing beer here, I just wished they had more vegetarian or seafood options but I guess that's just my dietary restriction. Lots of fun trying to hit the nail into the stump,

I was in town for 1 night and my hotel told me about a German restaurant that was more touristy and expensive. I walked past it and found my heaven. Old German beer hall. They had Dunkel which is my favorite beer so 1.5 liters was consumed and a brat platter which was amazing down to the rye bread and butter. Atmosphere is an old beer hall and the staff and patrons were super friendly.
