Roxineus RoxineusMarch 24, 2015Nice Staff at the bar...Andrew especially. Always a delight. Very good Menu. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are the best days. Music volume and Choice are great. Great menu and grill. Beer on Draft are greatUpvote9Downvote
Its often quicker to go up to the grill & order instead of from the waitresses. The sausages, burgers, and pretzels are excellent, too, particularly this smoked Polish kielbasa

Eugenio GarcellJune 6, 2013Try the different imported beers, they are really made in Germany and is like being there for a while. Even Pretzels are imported. I've been in Münich many times and can certified this.Upvote8Downvote
Zara KhanSeptember 5, 2018Loved the atmosphere and cheap beer on Tuesdays! I had the turkey sandwich and it was a sad affair. Since I loved the atmosphere I’d be sure to return for a more German affair.UpvoteDownvote
Al BMarch 12, 2015Tuesdays half of 90% of their menu. Had their mussels and beef goulash. Food was great. Surprisingly, their mussels were huge! Get here early since the place gets busy quick. Good luck finding a tableUpvote1Downvote
SiobhánSeptember 4, 2017Pretzel is fantastic! Be aware though if you order a side of spätzle that it doesn't come with anything at all, but it's also pretty amazing with beer.UpvoteDownvote- Be sure to order the pretzels. They come large and hot. You can dip them in the excellent mustards and cheese. There will be nothing left.
UpvoteDownvote - SiobhánSeptember 4, 2017This biergarten really sticks to the Austro-Hungarian theme, impressing my Hungarian half. Grill is cash only but the kitchen and beer you can charge. Also it's deceptively huge inside.UpvoteDownvote
Jaye LindnerAugust 25, 2011Holy crap the best Pork Chop I think I've ever had!. Pretzels are good too. The liver is so delicious and the mussels are so good too! Service is strange & its too loud but the food is really great!UpvoteDownvote
Pretzel and Arugula salad are excellent, and the sauerkraut is vegetarian. There are a ton of kids running around here on the weekends, but it's OK. I grew up in bars in Alaska and I turned out OK.UpvoteDownvote
Michael NataleJuly 23, 2015Grab some German brews and a pretzel on a warm summer afternoon. I've heard the grilled food is good too. Great biergarten atmosphere.UpvoteDownvote
Anastasia BezverkhaMay 15, 2015The steak salad, the muscles, and all things grill !!! The ambiance is 💣 too!! Oh well, and the beer choice is superb.🍻 Just bring a good crowdUpvoteDownvote
Giant beers on tap and the food is incredible. Pretzels with bar cheese and even the brussels sprouts are cooked perfectly.UpvoteDownvote
The pretzels are the best. And that beer cheese! Classic German food. Grill is cash only!

Patrick NewellMay 4, 2013Hoboken's hottest bar is Pilsner House. This place has it all... frat guys, schnitzel, stroller rides -- you know that thing where human midgets get pushed around in car seats with wheels? #stephonUpvote3Downvote
Brent CaswellAugust 28, 2016Really fun place for Hoboken natives. Good beer and food. Tables are shared between groups. Can get crowded at peak hours.UpvoteDownvote- Try the steamed bier mussels with your bier here. You can share it along with a few other appetizers.

50% off Tuesdays (cash only) is probably the best deal in Hoboken. Show up early to get a seat. Currywurst is better here than I had in Berlin.UpvoteDownvote
Grab a liter of draft beer, some good company, and you got yourself a good time! Try the grill and get the Haus Sausage!Upvote2Downvote
Amanda Petrocelli McLeanMay 6, 2015Awesome food and great atmosphere... pretzels are great. Everything I've eaten here has been fantastic. Can't go wrong.UpvoteDownvote
The German food and beer is amazing here! Long communal tables, happy environment, what more to ask for?UpvoteDownvote
Kaufman NgJune 28, 2020Beer and 🥨. Sausages are good in general. I didn't like the hot wings as it's more sweet and sour than hot.UpvoteDownvote
Maria K. FUZEfitJune 24, 2012Loved the atmosphere! The ambience, music, lively energy, their attention to every detail. Scallops & Litzer torte were to die for.UpvoteDownvote- Get this when its on the menu. This chicken paprikash with spaetzle is very flavorful.

Matthew HartsoughApril 15, 2016Food is all tasty, mussles are especially good on the bottomless night. Good midweek specials. Cheap eats at the grillUpvoteDownvote- Ladies, the Weihenstephaner is the way to go - so light and refreshing. Pretzel is beyond amazing (esp the cheese dip that comes with it).Upvote3Downvote

Alex AlvaradoSeptember 22, 2011The burger they serve is good almost taste like a cut of steak. Beer is different and varied in selection and very German. And served at the rite temp. I recommend this place.UpvoteDownvote
Brew YorkSeptember 19, 2011Jersey isn't without its own Oktoberfest celebration! Hoboken's party runs through the end of September and includes traditional German beers, food, and live music every weekend.UpvoteDownvote
Carrie LawsonJune 10, 2016The kielbasa was good although barely any sides to choose from... Hope you like fries. The beer was good and the atmosphere was on-brand.Upvote1Downvote
NoelleAugust 11, 2012French toast from the breakfast menu was absolutely delicious. Also, don't forget about everything on the grill menu!UpvoteDownvote

But the 20-something, annoying drunks of Hoboken, not so much.UpvoteDownvote
