Pilsener Haus & Biergarten
“I went to Pilsener Haus for my first time last Tuesday night and has already become my new favorite place to eat at in Hoboken!”
“but they have like Bratwurst and all sorts of sausages and fries etc.
Def.”
“The only thing that could make this place better is if the outdoor area was larger, but other than that it is pretty much close to perfect.”

God that gigantic pretzel is irresistible. After coming here a few times, I thought I would stop ordering it but that day will never come.
This beer palace is huge. Huge tables, huge grill, huge TVs. Definitely good for groups of 20 or 30 people.
For 2 weeks they have a few special dishes. We tried the smoked and grilled pork ribs. Delish. The meat had this perfect crisp on the outside and tender pork meat right underneath that. Easy to eat as it falls off the bone as you press on it with your fork. Accompanied with a good portion of jicama slaw top with a bit of fresh cilantro and red onions. It tasted as good as the ones served at authentic Mexican restaurants.
We had to add a giant pretzel to our meal. It's a decision you won't regret. Yank a piece and dip it into butter or nordic mustard. You can't go wrong either way.
Just a quick negative note I had the half chicken dish last time I was here. It was bland and way too many french fries. Nothing great. Otherwise 5 stars.
The beer selection is spectacular and you get to decide how big your mug is going to be. Just don't get escorted out.
Although I've only been here once it was a really great experience! Of course at any food establishment customer service is extremely important; this place is very deserving of a 5-star for it. We had a really nice waitress (can't remember her name, could be Tiffany?! Or am I making that up…) she was super thorough in her explanations of beer choices and flavor profiles, in addition to popular food items. We ordered the pretzel and was super fluffy and just the perfect saltiness. The dips were really good too! I had the draft beer that was closest to a lemon shandy, and it's 100x better than Leinenkugel! When we were leaving, our waitress gave us a couple samples of the grapefruit beer as well, super generous of her. Can't wait to come back for more delicious food, as I hear you can get food grilled too!
Huge beer hall with tasty beer and delicious eats.
I came to this beer hall from NYC which is just 2 stops on the bus from PABT so getting here is relatively easy.
One thing you will notice here is that there are lots of families and little babies running around which is something I would not expect.When you get to the beer hall you notice it has 3 large drinking areas. One outside which is the obvious prime spot but the tables outside can only hold around 10 people if you have more you need to go inside. Once you're inside there is a smaller room with a few large tables. If you keep walking further there is the large beer hall with the large wooden tables and benches and a bar across one of the walls. On another wall is grill cooking wursts and other delicious food. The room has a very industrial feel to and can hold large groups. We had a group of about 20 people and all fit and watch the rangers games since they have a few tvs.
At the tables there is wait service for food and drinks. I got a liter of beer from the recommendation of the server and it was perfect. In addition to the beers you gotta get a pretzel since you're at a Biergarten and it was made to perfection. A soft pretzel with a buttery glaze and the most delicious Bavarian mustard. I could not have asked for anything better.
In short:
-Great for groups
-Friendly Fast wait service
-Delicious beer and pretzels
Delicious cider on draft (Strongbow) and great selection of cider and beer. My soft pretzel was TDF! There was live music, but it wasn't too distracting, as we were still able to converse. Would love to go back and sit in the garden area.
I prefer to catch the more low key afternoons. I don't care for the chaotic energy of the crowds. That being said, if you can't make it to the Deutscher Club, this is the best place in New Jersey for Sauerbraten or Schnitzel Wiener. Great beer selection as well, if you care for such things. I do not, but most fans of authentic German food require a good selection of German, Belgian and Austrian beer.
Came here for an impromptu night out with a couple girlfriends. We were looking to stay casual and local.
I had a couple bourbon sours- they were alright nothing to write home about. Definitely heavy on the sour mix for my taste but the service was decent.
They do how my favorite grapefruit beer on draft there!! Which is exciting because I love that beer and not every place has it!
It's definitely a pick up scene although it's cool to come out with your friends and grab a table.
I did not eat anything but the pretzel looked delicious! And next time I am having a carb fit I will have to head over and check it out.
Oh Pilsener Haus. 4.5 stars. Delicious food, fun communal tables, and an environment seemingly more authentic than the real thing. It's funny – I've been to a number of beer gardens in Germany, Poland, etc and this place seems even more "old world" than they are, hahaha.
I've tried almost everything on the menu, you can't really go wrong with anything, and the grill is delicious as well. I keep saying I'm gonna try some if the specials, but never quite get around to it (mostly as I like to come on half-price Tuesdays – the best kept secret in Hoboken!). On top of all this, how much fun is a full liter stein of German brew? You can't beat that!
So why not a full 5 stars? Well, as others have said, it can be a bit of a hassle to scout out a seat for your crew, then swoop in and grab it before someone else does. A couple times I've had the waitresses find me a spot, but they're always busy and don't always have a minute to help out like that. Regardless, it does make this place unique.
What a cute spot! Looked for most reviewed bar on Yelp and this place came up with amazing reviews…and for good reason! Loved this biergarten! As the name may give away, it's a German beergarden.
When we walked in all we really saw was the outside sitting, and with such amazing weather, why would we even think of staying inside? The sitting is communal which is great for being social and making new drinking buddies. Absolutely loved this place. Our waitress was awesome, and the atmosphere was amazing. All the people there seemed to really be enjoying themselves. They do have a Yelp special, until 7pm – we got there after 7, so we were not able to use it.
At one point, we needed to use the restroom which is when we realized just how huge the indoor seating area was. They have flags inside of all the countries, and when we were there they were showing the EuroCup soccer games on huge screens inside. There is also a cool projected screen outside against the brick wall. It is barely visible when it's light out, but as it got darker it looked amazing.
I will def be back to this spot!! AWESOME PLACEE!
