It's a nice place, great selection of beers. 4 of us went there on a Saturday afternoon. All the staff members are very friendly and polite. It was quite cold inside, I don't think that they had the heating on. In the bathroom you could clearly see your own breath like you were outside. We had to wait for our food for about 30 mins regardless not many people were eating at that time. The menu looks very promising, but in reality I have to say that the food was a bit disappointing. Not to our liking. The best pretzel thought so far! We'll be back for the great beers and the pretzel for sure 🍺🥨

I was sold on this venue as soon as we walked in as the glowing lights of draft Fruhli called my name. It SUNG. The bartender running the ship on Friday evening was an absolute gem, and elevated the whole soiree. Seriously, give this guy a raise. Steins, steaming sauerkraut, kitsch decor - super recommended! (Oh, and great options for veggies and vegans alike!)

Decent enough food but portions are way too big. Ok atmosphere with 80’s music playing although the place was almost empty midweek I’m sure it’s better when busy. Good selection of draft and bottled German beers.

Muy agradable pequeño bar local, no hay mucho ambiente, excepto para la música de los 80 que se reproduce. Sentí un poco de frío si acaso y no especialmente una noche fría. Una selección bastante decente de cervezas alemanas de barril y embotelladas. La comida era buena, pero las porciones eran demasiado grandes, así que, siendo realistas, parecía una lucha para comer nuestras comidas. Probablemente no regresaría por comida.

We liked the chilled atmosphere and the great service. Food was fair (big portions) and good price. The larger I chose on tap was not to my liking but the merlot more than made up for that. I will try the bottled beers next time (some of them I recognise from my four years (before Covid-19) working in Hannover and Essen). Will definitely visit again soon.

La peor experiencia que he tenido en Reading. Tratamos de ayudar y llevar a una persona sin hogar lejos y nos dijeron que no comerciáramos cervezas. La mujer morena alta y los hombres eran muy groseros y condescendientes. Esto después de gastar más de £ 50. Cuando dijimos que dejaríamos una reseña dijeron que ya no nos servirían! Evitar a toda costa.

Esta no es mi primera visita a Bierhaus, pero parece ser mi primera revisión de ellos, que es una parodia. Afortunadamente la comida y el servicio aquí es tan consistente que esta revisión puede aplicarse retroactivamente a mis visitas anteriores! Siempre he venido aquí para una cena, y extrañamente siempre he estado sentado en la misma mesa en la parte superior de las escaleras, pero en la parte delantera del 'balcón'. Esta es una buena ubicación en realidad, se puede pasar por alto la zona del bar, pero estás fuera del camino de cualquier ajetreo real. Pides tu comida en el bar, pagando por ella al mismo tiempo que creo que funciona bien ya que cuando hayas terminado simplemente puedes irte. No hay servicio de mesa real, mientras que la comida se entrega obviamente a usted si desea bebidas adicionales o cualquier cosa que simplemente se dirige al bar, aunque el personal lo revisa ocasionalmente. Como tal, la atmósfera es realmente relajada. Si bien el personal no está tan presente como en otros restaurantes, siempre han sido muy amables y serviciales. La comida es el verdadero atractivo para Bierhaus - es INCREÍBLE. Recomiendo encarecidamente el Pork Knuckle para empezar y, si tienes espacio, el Schnitzel para la red. Tenga cuidado, aunque el tamaño de las porciones es GRANDE - por lo general termino tomando parte del Schnitzel y papas a casa conmigo para el día siguiente. El precio es realmente razonable, así como para el volumen de comida que se obtiene. En términos de la ubicación de Bierhaus, es realmente conveniente para el Hexagon pero está fuera de los principales caminos trillados de Reading - yo diría que es alrededor de 10 minutos a pie de la estación de aquí al ritmo 'medio' habitual, pero al estar un poco más escondido está a su favor ya que, aunque puede estar ocupado, por lo general tiene una mesa libre (aunque aceptan reservas! )

This is an excellent trad bierkeller taken from Germany and plonked into Reading. As expected there is a decent range of German beers available but the food is the star. Schnitzel, brats, grillhaxe are all served on point and with decent sides. However be sure you're hungry as portions are huge.

I would say this order wasn’t quite as good as usual, the schnitzel for the jägerschnitzel was much smaller than usual, the beer battered onion rings didn’t taste beer battered and the chips were over cooked. However since it was a Saturday night and the food was delivered hot and in good time and we still enjoyed it, it hasn’t put us off ordering again. Thanks again Bierhaus 😊

Warm welcome from staff, booked a table. Nice atmosphere and decor food was well presented and very tasty, first time trying authentic German cuisine, would certainly return to try other food on the menu as we made a faux pas by ordering a Jagerschnitzel and Classic Schnitzel each, they were so big we could of shared one between us. Serving staff were very helpful and moved us to another table after a larger than expected noisy table arrived next to us, we were also given take out containers to take the leftovers home, need to go back to try other foods.

Great place to go for authentic German food. Nice atmosphere inside. You feel a little bit like little Bavaria. Good selection of German lager and my favourite Erdinger Weißbier. Very friendly staff. Food freshly cooked and delicious. Had the Jägerschnitzel and I can only recommend that. The restaurant is located near the octagon, about 10 minutes walk from the oracle. Perfect place for a family meal, get together with friends or just to have a pint of great German beer. 2 thumbs up!

This is THE place I recommend in Reading! When I'm at a loose end and want great food and excellent beer: Bierhaus! When I go out with friends: Bierhaus! As someone who's worked in Bavaria, I love the food: it's amazing value, great tasting, and nowhere ever does kasespaetzle! As for the beer: the selection is amazing, the Spaten is brilliant, but they also have arguably the world's best beer: Augustiner Helles! It has a bavarian bierkeller vibe, which makes it a little loud at times (so not great for that romantic night out!) But it's exciting and vibrant! Check the opening times as they're a little limited, but that just makes for a great, friendly atmosphere, enhanced by the great staff!
