Real good German food at decent prices and big portions. Beergarden one of the best in Beijing. The draft German beer is always fresh, never any problems.
Only problem is the disorganized (but friendly!) service but still 4 Stars since it's often just funny to see them struggling with the bill and all the other facts more than compensate for this.

I love going to Schindler's for hearty plates of Meat (ah.. feels like at home) and wash it down with their beer.
I like the Filipino band, because i think they are not like a regular filipino bands in the City. The guitarist is great and the singer is nice.
Still one of the best beer meat/beer places in the City

As a big fan of German food I like this place. The food is great value and fans of Bratwurst can get a big plate for 40 yuan.with Sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. German beer is always excellent and on a hot day you cant beat a nice Weizen ( wheat beer) although its not cheap you do get a great taste experience

For those with deeper pockets you can go the non sausage route as German food is a lot more variable than the cliched sausages. Bread is always good as well. I looked on the wine list and discovered no German Riesling which seems absurd in this type of restaurant.

The beer garden is also a very nice place to relax on a hot summer evening.

PS If you are with Chinese females you may try salads soups or some other stuff as Bratwurst and Schnitzels may generally be considered more popular with the guys. German noodles are nice and so are the asparagus dishes.

I think this place is worth a 5 , I only wish you could get happy hour on the imported beers as I get so fed up with chinese beer ( not bad but not as good as quality imports)
