Strong International beer menu, average food with spotty service = 2.5 stars
The beer menu is organized by Country or beer style. Mainly international selections with a couple of Canadian and U.S. craft beers thrown into the mix. Canada, Germany and Belgium are most represented (30 different countries represented in total) . The menu is easy to use for beer newbies and explains the different styles. They also have a few "fruity" beers if that's more your thing.
Food has been hit or miss. They do a good charcuterie platter but I have not been a huge fan of their beer can chicken soup, Bavarian pretzels, steak frites or salads. The various beer poutine's are OK.
Service has been mixed in my experience. They are generally understaffed on Sundays. I experienced some rude service at the end of the night - staff want you gone as fast as possible after last call, and they make it known to you!
They have live music on weekends if that's your thing. I usually find that a major distraction if I want to sit back and enjoy beer with friends. You can't hear each other when a Band is playing.
I pop by for a beer every now and then when I'm in the area but never treat the Bier Mrkt as a destination. If you want International beer - go to the Town Crier. If you want craft beer - go to Barhop or Bar Volo.
