Headed down here on a Friday night. The overall atmosphere is awesome-there is a stage and live band playing cover songs! I liked the fact that there are places to sit where you can enjoy your food, but there is also an open area in front of the stage where you can dance.
I am not a big beer drinker, but anyone can tell you that the selection is extensive. We tried a strawberry flavoured beer named FRULI (made with real strawberries!), and would recommend it for all the ladies that aren't huge beer fans like me. Our waitress was very helpful, and really seemed to know her stuff. The beer prices are decent - 28 oz will cost you around $7
As for the food: ordered the poutine. It was good because there was meat in it, but the blue cheese I was not a big fan of. Also ordered a slice of chocolate cake-FANTASTIC!!!
The only negative about the place: may be hard to find a space to sit for a large group of people, and it is very LOUD! Difficult to have a conversation with anyone not sitting or standing right next to you.
The Bier Markt is definitely a great place to check out!
