DSK Brooklyn

The latkes with the mushroom sauce spiced is so yum. I don’t recommend the chicken stew, beef looks getter. The sparkling apple juice is a bit dry if you’re looking for sweet. Some of the waiters are sweet others are slower. Great for a pack of friends.

I came here not too long ago with some friends and I was blown away with how comfortable the environment was. The food we ordered was so delicious and the cider, doc hard apple cider, hit the spot. Their goulash is to die for!! I was literally able to cut through my beef with just a single plastic fork. Absolutely amazing and their potato pancakes are crispy and flavorful. It’s decently priced and family friendly as well!! We also tried their Mac and cheese which was very tasty and different from the one I’m used to but I would definitely order it again. Apple strudel was flaky and moist, something kids will love for sure!

Yum yum yum! Super cute and cozy inside, they were playing Grimes for like an hour straight which to me was just perfect. I got the schnitzel and it was soooo delicious, although the potato pancakes were good but not spectacular (fries were just perfect tho). Definitely don’t plan ur night around the advertised times, they seem to close before midnight if it’s a slow night/a weeknight. Overall, incredibly charming and cozy place to drink 3-5 beers with your loved one and eat delicious food, would highly recommend to anyone looking for well-curated beer in a friendly environment :).

I visited this German brewery with three friends on a Tuesday night. Although it wasn’t too crowded, our experience was disappointing. While we were greeted and seated promptly, the service quickly became an issue. We noticed that our beer glasses were consistently only about 80-90% full, while other patrons received full pours. Additionally, we ordered nachos, but despite waiting over 20 minutes, we still hadn’t received them. Meanwhile, other tables that arrived after us were served quickly. When we finally got our nachos, they were soggy and unappetizing. We also requested cutlery multiple times, but it never arrived, and we ended up not being able to enjoy our food. However, when we asked for the bill, it was promptly brought to us, which felt rather insensitive. Overall, the experience felt lackluster, and we left feeling disappointed. We won’t be returning.

I got the beef goulash which was pretty good! Potato pancakes were really good! The plastic utencils werent ideal and portion was a bit small for me

The website says they close at 2am on Saturdays. We ubered there, walked in at 1130, and were told they were doing last call. At 12, the bartender came and told us we had to get going because they were closing. I wasn't halfway done with my beer. There were two full tables there besides ours. I will certainly never go back. We went to Endswell instead, which has an awesome vibe and the service was great!

Favorite German beer hall in the area! Good selection of beers and wine, fun atmosphere, great service and food! They have trivia night every Wednesday, board games to play, fussball table, big comfy loungey couches, communal tables etc. Fun bar! I also LOVE that they have vegan sausage option on their menu!! I’ll definitely go back next time I’m in the area!

Service is as crappy and food too. All of those shnitzel burgers options looked like patties warmed up with buns in the microwave. It was sweet and sour and tasteless at the same time. It’s like somebody has found all the condiments (ketchup, mustard and jelly) in the kitchen and mixed all of them in one dish. Plus it’s not a restaurant in a sense but more of a beer house. No photos, sorry. Food took kinda long anyway. I wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Favorite German place in NYC! Great beer selection, good food (not a gourmet restaurant but solid simple fare), an owner who's often present looking after his business and just an awfully nice place to sit outside for a few pints!

1/1 Ambience; 1.5/2 Food; 1/1 Service; 0.5/1 Value The restaurant is nice and spacious and has a fun atmosphere for hanging out with friends and grabbing drinks. The offerings are traditional German foods and beers, although the menu is extensive with many non-alcoholic offerings. The service was very fast and efficient. We were famished and ended up ordering a ton of food: the pretzel with obadza, the spaetzle, the kartoffelsalat, fries, various wurst with cabbage and sauerkraut, and German soft drinks. The pretzel and obadza was the standout, and everything was mostly great. I opted for the vegan smoked apple and sage wurst, but it was a bit bland. My friends got the classic bratwurst and they really enjoyed theirs. Given the portion sizes, some items run on the pricier side. However, we absolutely devoured the food and ended up in a food coma, which probably suggests it's worth returning to.

Food is standard but fun, in a German fusion sense. But there's no getting around the occasionally abysmal service. It seems to depend on who is managing, like tonight. Decor is German beerhall-ish and adds to the atmosphere. Excellent German beer selection, which is a shame because I'm giving up on ever being waited on tonight.

I came here for Tuesday night trivia. It was pretty packed. Trivia was supposed to start at 7pm but I showed up late closer to 7:20 and it was just getting started. We initially sat at the bar, but eventually got a long table with benches which we split with another party. One side of the table was a little too close to the wall so you had to sit very forward to avoid bumping your head on the ledge, which was a little uncomfortable. Trivia was fun. You play on your phone and submit answers online so make sure to come with a fully charged device. The app shows you the leaderboard and what percentage of teams got each question right so it's quite interactive. The game was five or six rounds, each with a different theme. There was general knowledge, movies, tv shows, music, etc. It leaned a little heavily towards knowing actor and celebrity names and characters. The host was super high energy and friendly. He walked around and chatted with the various teams to hype everyone up. The music played in between questions was also fun and dancey. To drink, I had a glass of their rose. It was $12 and served in a tall glass. I didn't eat, but my friends seemed to enjoy the food.

Too bad Yelp does not allow people to give 0 stars. Today, I asked the hostess (Middle aged, gray hair, German maybe?) if I could see their menu. She said, "You can pull out your phone and scan this QR code." She pointed to a QR code on one of the tables. I said, " I don't have my phone." She said, " Oh well." I said, " You don't have menus?" She said "No, sorry" I said, " Oh, Ok. " She walked away from me, and I then walked out of the restaurant. This is not the first time they were extremely rude. Needless to say, at this point, I don't think they even want to be in business.

3.5 stars: average, standard spot with the usual suspects on the beer list and a larger selection of food items (pretzels, fries, sausages, etc). Lots of tables indoors and out so it shouldn't be a problem getting sat though the service can be a bit slow once you're seated. A good option if you're walking by and need somewhere to sit and chat over a drink or quick bite.

The beers are very big, the food is not. A Wurst is like a small plate. The entree Spätzle is okay for a meal if you also drink an entire beer (they'll make it without bacon on request!). It's very tasty, the onions are well caramelized. I would recommend drinking here after you've already eaten a bit somewhere else. Trivia Wednesday! Outdoor seating!

Horrible service - probably the worst. I would rather stub my toe 10x over than step foot into this establishment. Food needs seasoning and it's not even that cute of a place.

Spacious beer garden, great for groups! We came on a Friday night in a group of six without reservations, and there were plenty of tables available. There is seating both indoors and outdoors. The Stiegl Grapefruit was delicious and so refreshing. For food, I recommend the KaseSpatzle ($16); so cheesy and satisfying, although a really small amount for the price. The brats were average. There are also some games available to share. Unfortunately, the space is super hot (we were all sweating the whole meal), so I'd recommend coming in cooler weather!

decent food, a bit overpriced. horrible service, pretty sure our waitress was drunk. would not recommend to my worst enemy

Just going to start this off by saying I've never left a review, let alone a bad one, on Yelp ever. But DSK has to have the worst service in NY, maybe the world. I was a server for 15 years and my heart goes out to the waitstaff there. To them I say, find another place to work- you'll make more money and not run around like your hair is on fire. GORDON RAMSEY THIS PLACE NEEDS YOU! The server we had took our order: 4 beers, 4 sausages, 3 order of fries (typical beer garden order right?). Probably the hardest order to mess up. This place is a Beer Garden after all. But we waited..and waited.....and waited. An hour went by and we must have spoken to every member of the wait staff besides our server. Once we got ahold of her again she said that wasn't her section but also couldn't point us to our actual server. WTF? Then the owner came by, gesturing with his hands "8 minutes" using his fingers. He then delivered food to the newest table who had been there for all of 15 minutes! Come on y'all Finally he came back by with our order and said "food is on us" and apologized for the wait (1.5hrs). Great. But we looked at the itemized receipt today....charged for all the food PLUS KETCHUP AND MUSTARD! DSK, are you guys ok?

Excellent spot for beers and hanging out. Classic German food offerings. Very proactive service. Big outdoor setup. Very dog friendly.

This is a HIDDEN GEM! The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable about German beer, and the food is amazing. We love to sit outside on a nice day and drink the super large beers and eat the sausages. It's also close to the park, so afterwards you can walk around the area and enjoy the weather. It's a perfect location.

Loved the beer list here, but otherwise an overall meh experience. Maybe I just went on an off day, but the vibe here was pretty drab, and the service was slow and kind of indifferent.

- outdoor dining only - crowd is gonna be super thick once it gets nice out - the lines were already thick on a 50 degree night - fast service - Mac and cheese left a lot to be desired - they forgot my potato salad - my friend did not get his nachos he was given a free beer for the oversight - beers are really alcohol heavy I was lit off two pints - I liked the cheese that came with pretzel - good cheddar wurst - my friend loves to curry wurst - my friend was not impressed with the wine, she was given the entire bottle - friend enjoyed the nachos - the pretzel was tasty, and fed a table of five - great suggestions from staff

Another Oktoberfest bar in Ft Greene -- why are there so many? Anyway ordered beers and Roxy Music's More Than This came on. A good sign. Until they cut it off and put on a knockoff of I've Heard It Through the Grapevine. But. Then that faded out. The bartender said they have wiring issues. Odd

So lovely. My friend and I speak German although neither of us are. I'm a Yank and she is a Dutch national. We were eager to have Brats und Bier at a Stammkneipe (German pub). This place is the real deal. Not only that but the service was very kind from the host to our waiter. We are two older women past that certain age. We were made to be quite welcome. I also noted a younger person or two enjoying a beer while comfortably reading a book. If I lived in this neighborhood, sadly, I do not, this Stammkneipe would be my local..as the Brits say. Alles hier ist sehr gut!

Beer and food are great, but quite literally some of the slowest service ever. Took 30 minutes just to order and another 20 after that to get the items.

Beer is great! Food is TERRIBLE. This is the second time I've tried a brat here, look at this photo and you judge

Schnitzel was flat and dry. Potatoes were good. Place was cute inside. Service was good. I was here on June 12, 2022.

It's a German restaurant. I waited way too long to order. The appetizer and the main course came out together, a no-no in my book. The food was served on paper plates with a plastic fork and knife. The schnitzel was okay at best. Do yourself a favor, just come here for the beer.

Maybe I'm just not a Brooklynite but I was pleasantly surprised at the environs and beer/food here. We were running late to a play at Irondale nearby and stumbled into this place and found our faces full of weiners and mustard in no time. The name is elusive- so my one suggestion would be for them to spell out their signage more but whatever. I would also recommend ordering simply off the menu and don't try to substitute much of anything because they won't do it. Lastly, stick to German bier. That's what they do best here. The IPA I tasted had a bitter cloying taste that shouldn't be there. The Dunkel was superb. The cheese for the Bretzel was tasty as was the curry sausage and sauerkraut and relish. As whiny as we were about the service, we still managed to eat/drink and make the show on time.

Went to trivia at DSK Brooklyn on Wednesday evening. It was a lively crowd for the event, but it is hard to be too excited with inconsistent food, the hot and stuffy space, and the missing service. Quality: Visited DSK Brooklyn for its Wednesday night trivia. While we were there indulged in some beers and snacks. For beer they had about fifteen on draft, all old-world style. I enjoyed the Braufactum Progusta IPA, Sion Kolsch, and HB Original Lager, each a solid choice. I was less excited about the food we ordered. My Regular Brezel was overdone, leaving it too crispy and with a burnt taste. Our table ordered one later in the night that was better, which hopefully suggests mine was just an aberration. Next was the Sausage Platter, which we got with Kielbasa and Cheddar Brat. It was okay, with the Cheddar Brat significantly better than the Kielbasa, but I really did not like the Sauerkraut we substituted into the dish at all. The Kartoffelsalat, or German Potato Salad was a big disappointment, we had hoped for fries and they had run out, so this second option was not an adequate substitution. Quantity: I stuck with standard pours, but whether you go with the 1L or Boot pours, the beers can be huge. The food was a bit smaller than I expected, but reasonable for the prices. Value: $5 for a Regular Brezel. $13 for the Sausage Platter. $5 for the Kartoffelsalat. $7.50-$9.50 for 0.5L of Draft Beers. Ambiance: DSK Brooklyn is located in the Fort Greene area of Brooklyn. In a small little square, it has a good space that allows it to maximize outdoor area. Since we were playing trivia we sat inside, but the garden space they had outside seemed very nice. Inside they had a bunch of long benches and smaller tables spread across the space. There is a bar area, with some deer heads hanging above it and flags and soccer memorabilia throughout. A large screen was ready to be pulled down on one wall for big games. The problem however was the temperature. It was stuffy and hot, and the fans that could barely turn were not doing anything. It makes it hard to justify a summer visit, unless you are ready to sweat. Crowd: Trivia had the restaurant packed, but even the outside area was busy on a warm summer evening. Service: They were struggling a lot and it was clear they did not have enough staff. On a busy evening, it felt like only one person was taking orders and he was relatively new. Food and drinks were slow and several items were forgotten from our orders. Like many restaurants, they seem greatly impacted by the current labor shortage. Parking: Assorted street parking throughout the area.

Huge draft German beer list including kölsch, zwickel, schwarzbier and pilsners, plus friendly fast service in this indoor beer "garden" (it's not a garden). But sauerkraut shouldn't be yellow and a 7oz (200ml) kölsch shouldn't be $4.50 ouch. Yes this light ale is served in the correct narrow tall glass but you can't go thru these perfect little flutes like you want at five bucks a crack. The monster pretzel is very good, the fries are excellent. A sausage sampler platter for $11 has 2 perfect wursts and some poorly cooked red cabbage (maybe forgot the clove and red wine). Potato pancakes are perfectly deep fried but not tasty, forgot the onion maybe? Apfelstrudel for dessert was excellent. Disclaimer, I am hugely biased towards German food and love to visit places that serve it. Alas the food was just average at Die Stammkneipe (or is it the Schwarze Kölner? two names are confusing). With a little more effort in the kitchen this place would KILL.

Reminds me of being in Europe - located in a pretty Fort Greene square shaded by trees. The beer is great - so many selections and the food is good too. Pretzel with cheese is phenomenal. I've been here many times and there's always a good vibe.

This place. Oh, my word. Adorable, it's so cute on the inside and works like something right out of Germany. There's ample seating and comfy couches and chairs in the middle of the room. Adorable checked curtains flanked the windows. I'm at my sons college alumni group here and we were probably 10 minutes. Everyone felt the same way about the tears - it was out of this world! I ordered a giant pretzel with cheese sauce cheese sauce was from Heaven. I had stuffed cheese brought worst on a pretzel bun and pico de Gallo and guacamole - out of this world. My son to the bratwurst with Fried avocado. It was so delicious! Great beer too! Can't wait to return!

Came here to celebrate a friend's birthday. Never actually been to a Place like this. I ordered a "Weihenstephaner Kristall" which was great. I also ordered the Vegan Chipotle dog with sauteed onions and red cabbage with fries, which was also very good. Lastly, the staff here were very nice.

Food was okay but service was terrible. There's a reason why they ask for the tip before the service begins. We had Noel and I don't know if it was his first day as a server but he couldn't do his job correctly. It's unfortunate because the food was alright but the place was nearly empty so I don't know what was going on with Noel, maybe he needs more training.

I've never dreamt about cheese and pretzels more. The pretzel is indeed, giant. It has the sprinkly sea salt on it so you know it's legit. But not only that, but it comes with those soft, shaved white cheese with some dill and other spices that make it irresistible. We finished the cheese, and sadly but not sadly still had some pretzel left over , which we dipped in the accompanying mustard. Honestly, they should bring the mustard first, let you finish half the pretzel, and then give you the cheese so you don't go crazy on the cheese and feel disappointed by a perfectly good mustard and pretzel. That cheese is so damn good. The outdoor seating consists of 2-3 large picnic tables, and 4-5 smaller side tables, but not sure about the heat lamp situation re: winter is coming. The beer is great, per my partner who loves German beers. But honestly the giant pretzel with cheese is where it's at

I was in the area late one summer night and this was the only place serving food late. I got a sausage and a pretzel which were pretty good. Service seemed a little bit slow but the night was winding down and I was by the bar. In the warm weather, outdoor seating was available. I was glad to find something to eat but I wonder if things would have been a bit different during the day when the place was in full swing. I'll be back to check...

My friends and I went here on a late Saturday afternoon to play some board games. We had a great time. The beer was on point, the giant pretzel or "brezel" I ordered was pretty good, although I found the delicious add-on cheese to be extremely overpriced. It was an extra $5 for my already super-sized pretzel at $10. So yes, $15 all invested into some bread and cheese. I will say that without the cheese (or as they call it obazda) I'm not sure I would have been able to eat the entire pretzel. Also, cheese note: I expected some sort of dipping beer cheese, but it is more like a cream cheese based spread. My only REAL complaint was that I was disappointed with the owner's response to my request to close one of the windows closest to our table. It was one of those completely unrealistic spring days (March 30th) where the high probably peaked at 59 degrees, but by 5pm the temperature had significantly dropped and the breeze was gusting inside and freezing us all. Everyone remotely close to the completely open windows had their jackets and coats on. The overly positive souls who sat outside were now all huddled together under blankets. I'm not joking. The owner supplied them blankets. I approached the bartender first about closing the window and he said that it would probably not happen because the owner wanted it open. I thought that was pretty ridiculous, because the customer is always right, correct? So I thought surely, if I talk to the owner myself she would understand. The bartender wouldn't point her out, so I basically just guessed and approached her. Of course she was wearing a giant scarf lol. I asked nicely if we could please close the window, or even just half of the window, we're very cold, etc, etc. She just flat out said no, and that she thinks everyone wants the windows open. That people were enjoying the windows being open... as we both surveyed the bar filled with people with blankets and jackets on. It was like a Seinfeld episode or something. Eventually some other patron who was sitting directly in the window closed the damn thing himself and we silently applauded. OTHERWISE, great experience! I do plan on coming back, but I hope that they are more considerate of their guests in the future.

I like this place! I've had their sausages and fries for take-out and I waited for 30+ minutes as the bar was very busy. People come here to drink beer but their wines aren't bad. Come here to play foosball and other games with a date after dinner to liven things up. They open til 11pm and we closed down the bar on a Sunday night. Friendly folks, easy food and drinks, great family and friends energy. Glad to live close to here.

Great seat, outdoor in the summer. Wurst is mediocre. pretzel is warm and soft. A bit too much salt on top IMO. Beer selection is alot of options, pricey with different sizes. We order smallest size 0.2L for about 4.50. We order set of 2 sausages come with red cabbage and tiny bread. Total $23 for 1 small prezel, set of 2 sausages, and small beer.

Great draft choices. Food is delicious. I like to sit outside and people watch while having a drink. Also check out trivia night!

Cool German spot. Beer hall style seating with a good selection of German beers and tasty (and huge) pretzels. The service was friendly and quick and they were playing Ten by Pearl Jam-great rainy day/beer drinking music.

I had a great time at this spot this week after work. It's a perfect casual location to meet up with friends in groups big and small as there are lots of seating options and a very laid back vibe. And who doesn't like beer and brats? They even have vegan brats! I went with the chicken brat, which was probably one of the better chicken sausages I've had in a long time. I also loved the warm pretzel bun and the crispy onion topping that I selected. The fries were also fresh and hot, and though I wished it came with curry ketchup instead of just regular ketchup and mayo, I still very much enjoyed it. The food and vibe were nice but what took it to great was the excellent server we had that night. He helped us easily move from a small to a large group, move locations, add items to our order, etc, all with a smile on his face and kind words every chance he got. I'm a sucker for great service so though based on food and ambiance alone I'd say this is a solid four stars, he kicked it up to five. Thanks for a fun night!

I live across the street and it is loud. It has been worse since the pandemic has encouraged more outdoor seating and the owner doesn't seem concerned about being a good neighbor even though I have asked her repeatedly to put up signs that say things like: keep your voices down out of respect for our neighbors. I don't know what to do. The noise pollution at night sucks. I hate this place.

Low expectations going for this place and still underwhelms you with the service, food or selection of drinks. It's just meh.

Besides giving zero effs about their neighbors and repeated pleas for them to try to alleviate the noise in any way at night (on behalf of the longtime, low-income, elderly neighbors super close whose lives have been affected), this place is so beyond cheesy. Total Transplant Central. It's like a Murray Hill sports bar spawned with the crowd pouring out of MSG, post-Rangers game then arm wrestled the lamest frat on campus. I'm a native New Yorker and I'll never understand why some people move here just to re-create the suburbs. "Trivia Night" seems very popular with people I'd guess like "Fun T-Shirt Fridays" at work. I walk past this loud, whooping mess of a beer-soaked hellscape as quickly as possible.

I'm currently sitting in this restaurant leaving this review. I came here by myself (I've always wanted to try this place). After placing my order the waitress ask if I'm starting a tab or paying for my order... no problem I'm starting a tab. Well while I've been sitting a group of white guys come in and take the table close to mine. I noticed when she took their order she didn't ask them if they were going to pay now or start a tab . FYI This is how you lose your tip. PS the food was ok

Fine German brews, tasty food like classic potato pancakes but also "neo-wursts" such as vegan potato, apple and sage. Go for a Berlinerweiss and chill.

We have been back to this place many times, it may not be perfect but its by far the best place to take a little kid (ours is 3yrs old) and they have the best German beer selection! The food is also really good, I ususally get the chicken weinershnitzel, the spatzle and truffle fries are also great. Actually went here recently to grab a few growlers to go, not sure if they always do that but they have it available since the dining area is closed for COVID. Love drinking fresh german tap beer at home since all the bars are closed!

Accidentally happened upon this casual biergarten when exploring the neighborhood. What a happy surprise! Can't believe I didn't notice this place before when I was looking for bars in the area - Die Stammkneipe is perfect for a relaxed liter of ale in a cozy space. The place is brightly lit with sofas, long tables, and a bar to sit at. Big TV to keep you posted on the evening's athletic events. They have a sort of kitschy/ rustic theme going on, with a lot of artsy deer heads. Vast selection of German beers on tap; the menu has detailed, poetic descriptions of each beer to help you decide. I tucked into a soft pretzel, which was super buttery with a crisp skin and soft crumb inside. The mustard was so fresh, it burned my nose. The dinner menu looks very hearty and tempting, will have to come back for a full meal. Everything was so reasonably priced, this place is quite a bargain.

This bar did not present an itemized bill at checkout and overcharged me by five drinks. When I reviewed the receipt that was sent to my email and realized this, I went back when they opened the next day and was completely dismissed by the owners. They refused to do any investigation into the matter, accused me of lying to them, and were rude and very delayed about following up on the issue. For a neighborhood bar that I've visited many times, I was astounded at how they treat their customers. I would highly recommend you take your business elsewhere.

We stumbled into this spot to partake in a cold libation after attending a recent brisket king competition close by. Had a thirst for a cold beer, and German is one of my favs. To me it didn't really look like a German styled spot but more like a place that used to be a diner or other restaurant that they took over. Not really authentic looking as I like my German beer hall type spots to look more like one. Decent prices but cash only? For a place that serves up both beer and a full menu of food items taking credit cards is a must. Way too many bro's being obnoxiously loud and playing foosball when we were here. Typical Brooklyn hipster skinny jean douchebro's. Nice German beer selection on tap though. They even offer Das Boot if you really want to go all the way and drink heavily. Would I come back here again if close by? Sure! I love a good German brew and this place has them. Prosit!

I won't lie the food was good. But the service first of it was slow, if the place gets busy which it does WHY IS THERE ONLY ONE PERSON I also don't like how he would make eye contact and say one second but it was def not one second he would go to other tables and it just felt like took forever to order. Food was good tho, would def go back and the parm fries yasss. Also get the apple strudel it was great, they also have this cute dessert of gummy bears in a beer cup that looks like beer color wise.

Food was good. Service was subpar at best. They want me to say something else but I think you get the frickin point

Food and beer were delicious and very reasonably priced. However you have to wait in a long line to order and then wait at your table for food - we waited like 45 minutes for an order of fries and potato pancakes. I'm guessing they're just a bit short staffed post pandemic and sorting things out! I would definitely come back. Really great beer selection.

We waited 45 minutes for one incredibly bland boiled white sausage and one other sausage dish and one very bland lentil soup. Both sausages tasted awful and all together cost $45

I have been to this please before but never left a review. I was able to have a small gathering at DSK for my birthday this weekend. The service was very quick and helpful to some guests who weren't familiar with the menu. We were allowed to bring an outside dessert, there was a cake fee but that is standard in most places! Paper plates ,disposable cutlery and a large knife was supplied. Even my veggie/vegan guests were able to enjoy dinner without having to feel left out. Aside from all the nice beer I do enjoy the prosecco with elderflower syrup! Perfect, summery drink
