For four decades, The Bavarian Lodge has been a destination for those seeking authentic German fare, serious beer, and a relaxed, unhurried meal. We’re known for traditional favorites, a full bar, and one of the most respected beer selections in the area.

Whether you’re joining us for schnitzel, sausages, roast duck, or a selection from our curated 42-draft beer list, we want you to settle in and enjoy yourselves. We are walk-in only, do not take reservations, and are best enjoyed at a leisurely pace.

Our beer program features a constantly rotating draft list with careful attention to proper glassware, a deep bottle selection, and the kind of range that has made us a longtime go-to for imported classics, rare offerings, and standout craft beer.

A couple quick notes that might save you a message (and save us from replying with the same copy-paste answers):

  • Reservations: We don’t take them (except on Mother’s Day and Father’s Day). All seating is first come, first served.

  • Catering: Sorry, no off-site catering or pick-up catering orders. That means no bulk trays, giant sides, or “enough strudel for the office” orders.

  • FAQs: Honestly, most questions are answered on our GENERAL INFO page or our FAQ page. It’s way faster than waiting on an email reply, and you’ll look like a genius for finding the answer yourself.
