Bohemian Biergarten is an Eastern European style gastropub in the heart of Boulder. They're a fusion of various countries like Germany, Austria, Poland, Hungary, and the owners homeland of the Czech Republic.
The old historic building the restaurant sits in is the ideal setting for a place like this. The vaulted ceilings, the original bricks, and the reclaimed wood and light fixtures date back over 100 years!
Beer here, or better yet, bier here! They make a few of their own in the traditional style, as well as guests taps from local breweries. The Biergarten Pils, brewed by Upslope, is a fantastic start to your meal, as well as a great accompaniment to this type of cuisine.
Jager Schnitzel ($24) // choice of chicken or pork, served with creamy mushroom sauce, red cabbage, and choice of gruyere cheese fries or spätzle. I went pork and cheese fries based on the servers recommendation. The schnitzel was good, albeit overcooked and slightly dry. The gruyere fries were luxurious, rich, and filling!
Das Pretzel ($11) // traditional Bavarian soft pretzel served with haus made mustards (+ bier cheese $3). Now I'll be damned. This is probably the best pretzel I've ever had. We had a big group of 10 in tow, and I think we all unironically made eye contact with each other as we bit into this with a shared look of "holy shit, this is phenomenal." ORDER. THE. PRETZEL.
Staff were friendly, just a little slow at times to get refills, silverware, etc. It was graduation weekend so they were fairly busy early on in the day, so I get it. Ultimately the beer and the pretzel were the standouts for me, I just wish the schnitzel was more of a knockout.
Overall, a fun place for groups with a large menu of traditional Eastern European classics. Check 'em out!
