I can’t begin to explain how perfect this restaurant is. Not only does it have good vibe, the decor and romantic blues music selection was in point. The food was amazing. My partner is German and he believes this is the best German/ Austrian food he has had I. Australia by far!
Thank you so much for this experience!
Excellent service, authentic and delicious. I also really enjoyed the interior decor.
Had a great dinner at Bierkeller recently. We started with the beer bretzel accompanied with Austrian mustard (yum!!) and liptauer, a tasty cheese spread. We then shared the sausage platter and Bierkeller kransky (easily some of the best sausages I've had in Melbourne), pork hock (bit dry), beef gulasch (nice), wiener and cordon bleu schnitzels (a little on the smaller size and not quite as good as some others I've had recently). We finished with the dessert platter which was all yummy, although I particularly enjoyed the topfenstrudel which I've never had before. Overall, a great meal and I'll definitely be back for the sausages. Recommended.
Pork schnitzel and the pretzels were ace. Curry ketchup goes well too. Had to drive so couldn’t have any beers. Here’s a doppelbock calling my name so I’ve got to go back.
The food totally exceeded our expectations!!! I love the pretzel and the sausages were clearly freshly made and so well seasoned. We had a big group of us and I tried different sausages so can’t specify which they were, but they were all good!!!
The schnitzel was moist and the onion tart was amazing. The dark chocolate pudding was a dark chocolate lovers dream. Also loved the apple strudel!!! So totally coming back. Now a fan of Austrian food.
😱Lizzie’s first impression: It was pretty quiet on a Sunday arvo but don’t let that fool you about the quality of the food - German food here was spot on!
🍩Lizzie enjoyed: the sausages were so tasty and had so much flavour. The pork hock was on another level - it was cooked perfectly with the crackling still crunchy but the meat just as tender. The potatoes at the bottom of the tray must be cooked in the meats fat as it tasted delicious! I also highly recommend the fries here too with the spicy mayo sauce. The desserts were also amazing - the warm apple strudel and the mohr Im hemd (flourless chocolate almond pudding) was something else!
🍅Lizzie did not enjoy: I would prefer some apple sauce to match the pork hock instead of all the sauerkraut on the dish
🥇Lizzie rates overall: A surprisingly great meal and worth every dollar I paid.
Cannot rate this place highly enough. The staff are so friendly and the food is A+!! Love the the Stiegl lager and the Bierkeller kransky! Best Austrian food around!
I love this place and keep bringing people back and I’m not even sure why exactly—it’s the vibe. It’s different—not your typical Asian, Italian, middle eastern fare so readily available all over Melbourne—authentic and kind of like being immersed in an overseas experience yet close to home. The food is amazing, tap beers interestingly different, service friendly, cozy yet festive atmosphere, and only a little pricey but worth it. Well done!

I went here for Mum’s birthday last week. We wanted German food and this place seemed like the best choice however we learned that BierKeller is actually an Austrian restaurant, oops 🙊.
For entrees we ordered the pretzel 🥨 and some bread with dip. I really enjoyed the pretzel with the mustard and I thought it was better than the pretzel I bought from a food truck once.
Dad and I chose to share the roasted pork hock, the pork hock had some nice crackling and the meat was tender. It came with mustard and grated horseradish. I would’ve liked some apple sauce but maybe they don’t have apple sauce in Austria. My mum had the schnitzel which I tried, it was nice but I liked my pork a lot better. I didn’t enjoy my sister and brother’s meals but my sister must’ve loved hers because she ate it in world record time.
When we finished our meals we were way too full for dessert. The people working here were very friendly and the service was very good but it was a little overbearing. I’d come back here if I have a craving for Austrian food.
The food is absolutely amazing, the Liptauer tastes like in Austria! The service is really slow and to wait quite long for the food, like in Austria too ;) Wish they had more Austrian than German beer. All in all a great experience
Amazing spot. The friendly staff and owner always provide amazing service. The beer and alcohol offering is huge, plus the food is amazing. Definitely recommend! The outdoor seating is also covered and heated 👍👍
I recommend the pork hock, share between 2! Finish off with a schnapps from their long schnapps menu 🤩
They may seem a bit pricey but when you get your food it is really worth it. The food is exceptional and the staff are very friendly. The restaurant made me feel like I were back in Europe. The strudel is a must! I will definitely be back soon
Very homey lovely place. Huge meals that are outstanding quality. A retro ambiance and music. Terrific beers. Love the service and the whole experience.
The warm pretzel with additional onion dip was a fantastic starter and reminded me of Austria & Munich. The pork hock (pork knuckle) was juicy and crunchy. Good variety of beer with 1L steins available, will definitely be back!
Great variety of food and drinks. Awesome location and vibe. Be warned that the portions are much larger and great value. Thank you :)
Great service, plenty of good German and Austrian beers on tap and on the menu, and the usual food options of pork knuckle, German sausage and schnitzel.
Interesting menu and friendly helpful staff. Food is fresh and tasty. Great range of beer and options to sit in or out.
Delicious pork belly. Amazing sausage. Awesome goulash. Excellent beer selection. And top notch service. I'll be back.
