• Growlers of some of their beers are also available at some other outlets, such as Sutton Place Gourmet.

Atmosphere

• Relaxed, open atmosphere, reminiscent of a German beer hall. Only complaint is that the accoustics are not great so it can sound kind of noisy even when there aren't a lot of people there.

Comments

• They also sell their beers in draught form to area pubs and restaurants under the DeGroens label.
• Beers are generally considered to be some of the finest lagers available.
• Recommended appetizers include the Calamari and the Pretzels.
• Recommended entrees are anything in the German Fare section. What's the point of going to a German beer hall if you're not going to eat German food?
• Food portions tend to be quite large.
• All of the beers are highly recommended.
• Beer samplers are sometimes available.
