I'm actually surprised by the previous reviews based on our experience. We were a party of 7 and none of us had anything really good to say about the place. It's true, they have real grass. Otherwise, it was uncomfortable, service was slow, and the band was REALLY bad. It was too loud and the Amp crackled making the singer's voice even worse than it actually was. The staff seemed disorganized. I wanted a glass of wine, and my choice was one red wine and based on how long it took us to just get drinks, we were concerned that we wouldn't get or food in time to catch our show after. There was no "people watching" from this vantage point, although, passers-by were able to lean against the fence from main street and watch us. My German Brat wasn't bad, but I there are definitely better ones out there and I wouldn't go out of my way to go to the Bier Garten again, not with so many other choices.
