let me tell you this

Review of Drei Kronen 1308 Brauhaus

Hmmm old expat below writes strangly like a young chinese. In very Poor English.
I went to this place and have to point out that there was no pizza!!!!
the beer is good but not worth the price. they say at happy hour that the drinks are half price yet that is still more expensive than any other good bar around town.
Simply not reasonable to expect people to pay such money for a pint of Beer, and as a result I will not be going back there.
The staff were nice but there is a point of comedy in seeing flat chested girls in traditional Bavarian dress. They look as comfortable as Pavarotti hang-glidding.

But the real point is that the bar is decorated like a bar, it feels like a bar, the staff are bar staff yet it is run like a five star hotel and prices its products as such.
And this, it simply is not. A rather disappointing nonsense im afraid.

Great beer but avoid food or snacks

The decor very impressive.

The beer is different and good and fresh.

However my friend visited few days ago had a problem with the food.

They eat pizzas and subsequent day had to visit the loo couple of times.

So when we visited we just enjoyed the beer and the ambience.

Food poisoning

I guess I had the same experience like eurotrash. After eating there and drinking beer I had the runs for the whole week. I first thought its because of the beer or the hole in the pocket after paying the beer...but might have been the food...

Food Poisoning

I think I got a serious case of food poisoning here from either a salad or the sunny-side up egg they put on the Schnitzel.

Immediately after I ate there, I began to feel ill. Within hours, I was vomiting. I was sick for a week, and couldn't eat for days.

That was during their soft-launch period. I don't know what to tell you about the salads, but make sure their eggs are fresh.

HUGE portions! oh and the beer is pretty good too

For a place that claims over 700 years of beer brewing tradition one would have to start with a review of the Brauhaus' Bavarian beer. 3 varieties are on offer including a pale lager, a dark and a wheat beer. I had the lager and my companion had the dark. Both were on the sweet side, easy to drink with a rather mild overall taste. Pleasant tasting but not particulary unique. The happy hour is not half price but rather 2 for 1 so be ready to park yourself at a table from 5 to 7 and indulge.

The interior is very nicely done with the bar at the center and two large brewing tanks behind in plain view. The space has an open ceiling and you can see all the way up to the fourth floor with the second and third floors simply ringing the space around the open middle.

The menu includes a healthy choice of German dishes to choose from at somewhat high prices although once the food comes and you see how large the portions are you'll feel a bit better about the value for the money. The food was very tasty and the service was attentive and friendly.  This place just opened and at the moment it feels rather empty but if others' experience matches ours I expect a fuller crowd next time we go back.
