“I've always said that for the better beer menu, go to Killmeyer's. But, for the better food, go to Nurnberger!”
“The inside of the Bier Hall is beautiful, with a lot of dark wood and German decor.”

As a belated birthday celebration, my brother brought me here today for lunch. This place is out of this world.
Nurnberger Bierhaus has old world charm, a large assortment of draught beer and well over 30 beers in bottles. They even have German music playing in the background. No domestics here.
We started out with our beer selection. My brother went with a pint of Spaten Lager. I am first and always a big Hefeweizen fan so my choice was the 6 liter Weihenstephan which is the world's oldest brewery (founded in 1040).
For an appetizer we split the pretzels, which is served with 2 types of mustard, one spicy and the other sweet. I probably could have made a meal out of this alone. The portion is huge and the pretzel was soft, chewy and a great price.
For lunch, my choice was the kielbasa plate and my brother had the Nurnberger bratwurst. Both were served with homemade sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. The sauerkraut was a lot different than what I am used to. It was sweet, not the usual briny stuff you get on a hot dog. The food was very filling and the tab was under $30 for lunch for the both of us. We were lucky, we parked on Davis Avenue and walked 1/2 a block.
I can't wait to come back and try the Biergarten next door when the weather gets warmer. The waitress mentioned May 1st as the date it would be open. They serve food in the back with live music (German of course, and classic rock).
This place is a cool Staten Island spot. If you're looking for a real German vibe then I recommend it.
The pretzels are medium sized and tasty. They come with a sweet or spicy mustard.
The wings are spicy and meaty! They are messy, obviously, but good.
The fried pickles are delicious. They come with a creamy sauce to dip. I do wish they were not the long pickles. I think pickle chips are a better fit to fry.
The cheeseburger is very juicy and flavorful. It comes with fries that are crunchy and tasty.
The missing star? The waitress. I went to an afternoon private party and she was very rude. She got insulted by a guest and left the party! The extremely hard working and friendly bar tender was left to waiter and serve drinks. After coaxing she eventually returned. I would definitely meet the wait staff before hosting a party here or just leave all the tips for the cool bartender 🙂 I noticed a similar complaint in another review so I hope the wait staff improves because this is a rockin spot!
Ahhh beers and burgers. There aren't too many other combinations out there better, and at Nurnberger Bierhaus you can indulge in both.
I'll start off by letting you know that this isn't a typical Bavarian beer hall. It's actually quite small and very intimate. Of course you can indulge in typical German fare and Bavarian beers such as Spaten, Weihenstephan, Paulaner etc.. My friend told me that they got voted best burger in all the New York boroughs and being that I am a fan of burgers and was on the island, I just had to try one.
Although it wasn't on the dinner menu, our waitress happily obliged to serve it to me. It came out cooked medium rare with bacon and cheddar cheese. It was supreme. I washed it down with a half-liter of a delicious dunkel. Mmmmm
I highly recommend this place for solid food. My only complaint is that the beer selection was severely lacking. First off, Spaten was advertised everywhere yet we were told that they were not serving it that night. This left roughly only 5 beers to choose from on tap. Granted they are not a typical beer hall with an endless list of beer on tap, I would've liked to have seen more variety. Then again, the only thing you really need to come for is the burger. Trust me, you won't regret it.
Stopped in here today based solely upon the Yelp reviews (wouldn't have known it existed without it) and boy am I glad we did.
This is a great little German Beer hall which is next door to a larger German restaurant immediately next door. I can't say anything about the place next door because I've never been there, but this place is great.
The menu is very limited. Just hamburgers, veggie burgers, wurst, chicken and turkey legs! Also a really great pretzel. The mustard is incredibly spicy… So awesome. (Use the yellow not the multigrain)
My gf and I had the cheeseburgers on pretzel rolls. They are perfectly cooked. Absolutely delicious!
Next time I need to order myself a Turkey Leg! Sounds very medieval to me!
And the beer! There is nothing like German Beer. They have a great selection so relax and enjoy yourself.
The space isn't huge. It's one long room with a few tables. But I think a very good crowd probably fills the place (or at least should fill the place) or a weekend night.
Will I be back — yes, most definitely if I have occasion to be back in this part of Staten Island again. This is a great place to check out.
The atmosphere is a lot of fun, the beer was great but the food was hit or miss for me. Potato pancakes were really good,wurst appetizer also really good. I didn't love the wienerschnitzel, I thought the breading was a little loose and the veal was a little overcooked. Spaetzel I didn't love either. The sauerbraten was really good though, definitely worth a trip back for that. Service was slow also.
One thing Staten Island lacking, is good bars. I mean there are some, but they are few and in between.
In my search for places that serve great beer and good food in my new 'hood I found yelp listing for this German place… Hmmm, let me check it out, I thought. After a weird drive though the narrowest street you will find on the island and turning up right on Castleton, I saw it – windows brightly lit and lot of people walking in. Parking is not bad on side streets, and short walk is a breeze.
Place is packed on any day of the week – and you know it usually be a sign that it is genuinely good. There is a formal sitting area on a back, but there is also tall tables and a long bar upfront. It does get a bit drafty in winter, but not too bad.
Beer selection is solid, lots of good ones on tap.

The food – THE food will blow your socks off. If you like German food, if you like simple stuff like sausages and potatoes done right – you must try this.
My favorites are their Kartoffelpfannchen dishes – it's a skillet with sizzling potatoes, crispy, golden, AND with bacon – just like my mom used to make. It's topped with most delicious juicy sausage – there are several varieties to choose from.
(I am getting sooooo truly hungry just typing all this)
There are lots of appetizers too – herring plate was huge, and pretty good.
Prost! I will be back – many, many, many times.
So happy this place is finally open! This is the sister restaurant to Nurnberger Beirhaus next door. Great German beers on tap and a reasonably prices menu (Nothing over $10). They have the same mustard as next door and YOU know what I'm talking about if you've been next door. If not, come in and have a pretzel and you will NOT be disappointed. This place has a really casual atmosphere. Some nice murals on the walls, nice wood work and some new outdoor-like tables. Definitely go!
***This is a review of the new Bier Haus next door*** I was really excited to try the new Bier Haus. I've always had a good time at Nurnberger, be it inside or during the warmer months in their outdoor biergarden. The inside of the Bier Hall is beautiful, with a lot of dark wood and German decor. The beer list is excellent, with many good European choices. Don't come here wanting a Bud Light, because there are so many good authentic beers to try. The kitchen was serving a limited menu, but the pretzels my friends and I tried were very good and were served with two excellent mustards. The fried pickles were not as good because they fried up a whole spear, instead of using pickle chips. I look forward to my next drinking adventure here.
