Walking into the Bier Markt, I was not expecting good food but rather good beer. Needless to say, I went for the food and not the beer.
We went around lunch and it was not busy at all. The pub is located a few steps underground. The lighting was ideal from where I was sitting. I have to commend the server at our table. He was so gracious and witty. He seemed like he actually liked his job. I really appreciated the cleanliness of the place. I also liked that the washroom was on the same floor as the dining tables. Usually, washrooms downtown are in the basements.
I cannot speak to the beer and drinks here but what I can talk about is the food. First of all, waiting time was "normal" and not out of the ordinary as you would expect at a pub downtown. The "duck wings" surely caught my attention. But I ordered the most mouth watering chicken wings instead.
Nicely presented; clean and crisp. I got about 8 wings for around $15. These wings were so mouth watering. I'm still salivating thinking about them. They were dusted in a siracha dry rub which makes you want to eat pounds and pounds of them endlessly.
Gratuity was already calculated in the bill due to the table number - that's standard I guess. The overall impression I got from my coworkers around the table was that I should be giving the experience 5 stars!
Overall, I would definitely visit the Bier Markt again for those dry run chicken wings. You should too! Go for the wings and stay for the beer!
