| - I have had very different experiences at both Bier Markt locations- this review is for this location only. I much prefer the King st. location. I came here for a group dinner on Saturday. We had a reservation for 16- 17 people showed up, but we had a table that had a both running along one side and chairs on the other, so not really a problem to squeeze another person in. As soon as the waiter sees this, he has a hissy fit about how squished how we are, and even though we are not squished and are totally fine he proceeds to go on for about 5 minutes about how to rememdy the situation. Further more, our tables consisted of several small tables pushed together to make two large tables. When I inquired as to why we couldn't push all the tables together and make one large table he refused citing a number of pointless reasons.
The waiter, was super creepy, rude, condescending the whole time.
The food was ok....a few people got the shrimp and scallops and everyone seemed to enjoy those however the rest of us did not enjoy our meals. One friend had to send her fish back because it cold. When it came back it was clear they just stuck the whole plate in the oven, microwave, some kind of warming device. I had the Salmon which was ok, but sort of dry- it came on top of some sort of potatoes which were cold- I guess they plated the potatoes long before the Salmon. A few people ordered the Chefs cut, which happened to be ribeye- for $32 you got an overcooked steak that came off a buffet line.
Around 9pm- I got up to use the ladies room finding that the bar had turned into a club full of dbags and skanks (is this language allowed on yelp?). Weird- its a bar that serves 100's of beers- why turn it into a night club or a restaurant that serves over priced food.
If you are in the mood to just chill out and drink some delish beers I would highly recommend the King st. location. The bartenders/servers are super friendly and you don't have to deal with "club bier markt".
The beer selection is of course wonderful and delightful, the beer is why I would go a restaurant called bier market in the first place.
