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.
