Ze Wine Bar at Jägerberg Beer Hall and Alpine Tavern

A warm, welcoming atmosphere sets the scene for what can only be an amazing evening! Sit down family style downstairs at farm-style tables w/benches in the “Beer Hall”, or head upstairs for more intimate tables for 2-4. Chef Christie will amaze your eyes, and tantalize your palette even before you pick up your knife and fork. Her artful presentation is such that one almost hesitates delving into the meal! The menu itself is a gastro adventure with German and American options. The serving sizes are very generous, guaranteeing that no one leaves hungry.

We had a great dinner on a busy Saturday night. Reservations are a must as this place is very popular and deservedly so. Although there was a bit of a wait before we were seated, the staff were very attentive and communicative. Service was great and no long wait for anything. We were a table of 7, seated on the main floor which is bustling with activity. The food highlights were the Braunschweiger liverwurst pate, absolutely delicious. Was beautifully seasoned with a satiny liver. A must-have, as was the Flammkuchen flatbread-bacon was perfection. Really enjoyed the Chicken Jager Schnitzel too. The Steak Tartare lacked steak flavor and the capers were a bit overwhelming. Fondue is a fun share. Prices are very reasonable and portions nice. Highly recommend.

Food was amazing as well as staff and service! The sausage with mango chutney is delicious as well as the pretzels. The cocktails are very creative and they sell pretzel necklaces! The atmosphere is very cozy and welcoming. Would definitely recommend!

My husband and I ate here on our honeymoon in November. We ordered the big pretzel as an appetizer. We both ordered a beer flight and hamburger which came with potato salad and greens in the side. It was delicious!! One of the best meals I've ever had. The atmosphere was beautiful and the wait staff was very friendly and attentive. We can't wait to go back :)

This is a great spot. All of the food I had was really good. The portions were really large. The service was great. They offered different options of when we want the food to be out. They even offered to split the food for us. I didn't expect such a great place to eat in a small town like Hunter. It was a welcome surprise.

Always wanted to try when in the area for skiing but never able to until this past weekend when Hunter closed for the season. Stopped by late on Saturday evening and was excited to try based on others reviews and menu. Our waitress was super sweet and nice given we got there late an hour before closing. Food came fast and looked wonderful but was a bit disappointed: potatoe leek soup was so small for the price ($11) but decent in flavor, the chicken Jaeger snitzchel $(30) was good but the mash potatoes was unbelievably salty but didn’t want to send back as it was late; the nurnberger bratwurst platter for $29 came with 3 small links but loads kraut, potato pancake, the trout salad was ok and probably could have done less kraut ratio, and last the lobster ravioli was ok but not stellar w/ large chunks of lobster meat and good portion of ravioli Overall great service & atmosphere but the prices did not meet the quality/taste. I know price of food in general has gone up a ton and the area in general but it’s overpriced

Enjoyed a scrumptious dinner for my wife and niece's birthday. Started off with a Burrata salad which comes with fresh mozzarella and cubed watermelon with arugula and Beet salad, also with arugula. We enjoyed their signature Chicken Jaeger and Fish and Chips. Their menu of local and exotic wine, beer and mocktails offer a nice selection for individual tastes. Cordelia, Jagerberg's dynamic owner, Jonathan, chef extraordinaire, Michelle and team made us feel so welcome. Looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend for a wonderful and fulfilling dining experience!

Such an amazing German place! We have wandered to go since last year and every time we tried to walk in would be so busy! The food is delicious, our next trip upstate, this is gonna be one of our future stops, definitely!!

We had private party after a funeral on May 18. The staff was amazing. So attentive. So friendly, kind, answered all our questions. The food was delicious and plenty of it. The dessert was decadent and I can't remember what it was but oh my goodness. Thanks for everything.

Outstanding meal and service. I highly recommend the pretzels made daily fresh. Th wurst was perfectly cookef

Stoped in at Jagerberg for Après-ski brunch - lunch. Opened with a Hofbrau Dunkel which hit the spot. Dark amber and flavorful. I then ordered the Frickadellen which is there take on a German burger of sorts. Ground beef and pork patty with cheese, mustard, horse radish and pickle served on a pretzel roll with a side of German potato salad. It definitely had a German flair and I really liked it. All in all it was an excellent experience. My only knock is that the menu was quite limited and didn't include very many German staples. While working up an appetite skiing I was looking forward to having a brat or two and perhaps a knockwurst. None were on the menu. Perhaps it was just the day I was there? Even so, I had an excellent experience and will definitely drop in again the next time I'm in Hunter. Oh, I sat at the bar and the service was on point. The ambiance is pretty basic. The decor is somewhat German but not over the top.

Jägerberg beer hall was a complete letdown. The service was shockingly slow and indifferent, turning a simple meal into a frustrating ordeal. The staff seemed disinterested and inattentive, making it difficult to get basic assistance. The quality of the food and drinks was far from impressive. The menu boasted variety, but the execution was lackluster. The flavors were bland, and the presentation was uninspiring. Considering the prices, I expected a much more enjoyable dining experience. Unfortunately, Jägerberg failed to deliver on every front, leaving me with a regrettable experience. Save yourself the disappointment and explore other options

Wow, where do i even begin. The wait for our food was astronomical. Waited 45 for 2 pretzels, really. The food was bland and had no flavor, for making me wait 1hr i thought the food was going to be decent but no. The waiter barely attended our table. It was very hot and unpleasant to sit in especially because we had to wait 1hr!!!!! just to eat food.

We recently went to Jagerberg with a group of 31 and it was phenomenal. I made the reservation a few weeks in advance and they gave us a pre-fixe menu to choose from which made the night really easy. The food was delicious and the service was top notch. We had tons of kids and it was hectic - and everyone left really happy. I rarely write unsolicited positive reviews - but felt like this was worth it!! The food was seriously SO good and the space was beautiful.

Had a great dinner here! This such a nice, refined beer hall, and the perfect spot to celebrate our friend's birthday. We planned a dinner party for 18 people in the beer hall area, and Jagerberg was helpful and responsive throughout the reservation process. Due to our group size, we opted for the family style menu (choosing three apps and three entrees from the menu), and it was PLENTY of food for everyone... we even had leftovers to take home! We were also wowed at how delicious everything was - typically I don't think much of German food, but the food here was on another level. Everyone raved about the apps (pate, steak tartare, and calamari), and enjoyed all the entrees (chicken jagerschnitzel, nurnberger bratwurst platter, German style berkshire pork ribs). We opted out of the dessert but I bet they'd also be delicious. Service was wonderful and ambiance was great. The prices are on the higher end, but I feel like the quality is definitely reflected!

It's ok - not great. My entree was kind of tasteless , my partner liked hers though. The beer was pretty good, prices reasonable and the service was great. Not many options in the area, so if I'm by Hunter, I'd go again.

We love this place! We go off-season, so we never have a problem getting in. It's a little loud but the staff is really friendly. The food is good and the drinks are great. One of our favorites in the area.

Deliciously authentic German schnitzels and wursts and sauerkraut and cabbage and rosti and of course flammenkuchen, a German version of pizza with sweet caramelized onions, smoky bacon and something they call alpine cheese. It's amazing. Great German beer selections, and the most extensive after dinner schnapps, liqueurs and digestifs offerings available anywhere. Friendliest and hardest working servers cheerfully move up and down the stairs all night . Best place for apres-ski, apres-hike or apres-anything.

Best Nite with Best Friends in the Best Restaurant in Hunter with the Best waitress Thanks for the great food and great service. Loved my Liver Pate

Love seeing small places open in Hunter! Good, homemade food, great selection of German and local beers, and great outdoor seating! Cocktails, too!

We had a lovely meal here. It was busy but the staff was on point. I had the autumn lentil salad and my boyfriend had the chicken jager schnitzel, both delicious ! We also shared the baileys cheesecake, it was amazing !!

A German restaurant in the midst of a small NY town? Well, yeah. And it's pretty good too. We ambled over the other night -- the restaurant wasn't filled -- and settled into a fine Gaffel Koelsch brew, authentically Germanic and delicious. And the sausages? If they're German they had better be good, with just the right amount of texture and chewiness. And they were. At least the cheddar brats were; the others seemed a little under-flavored to our taste. The chicken schnitzel was crispy on the outside and moist inside, just about perfect. And we finished up with a chocolate lava cake, a sinfully tasty as it sounds. Our waitress was fun; she had a good sense of humor and seemed to relish the opportunities to interact. Overall, a good dining experience. Next time maybe a few more brews....

Ayinger Oktoberfest on tap. All beers served in matching glassware. Ordered family style - chicken shnitzel was excellent! Definitely going back

Jägerberg Beer Hall was not what we expected and let my party and I down. I believed that they would know how to handle a crowd by now, but oh man I was wrong. We waited and waited for our food for what seemed like an eternity . We were left sitting there with no waiter checking in or asking if we'd like another drink. Not the most enjoyable experience. On top of that, the food was far too expensive for what we got. $28 for a sad bland schnitzel? Hmm I don't think so. Sadly, this dinner was a bust and it definitely didn't check our boxes.

Got a beer here for $6! Does it also come with a waiter giving me a shave? Unpleasantly, unnecessarily pricey for the price we paid for the food. One would only go here if they're visiting. Cool out door seating though.

Stay at an Airbnb in the Catskill mountains. Hike the difficult trails covered in snow. Snowboard hunter mountain. Drink and eat authentic Austrian fare and refreshing German beers at this place. Rinse, repeat for 5 days. I will be back.

A cute and cozy place with comfort alpine food! My group of 4 dined indoors on a Saturday night - would highly recommend making reservations otherwise I don't think we would have gotten a table. They have a wide selection of beer, including local options! The food was delicious and a bit fancier than your normal "beer hall" food. Ordered the bacon and caramelized flatbread and warm raclette as appetizers to share. Both were delicious with ample portions. For entrees, we ordered the chicken jäger schnitzel, home made pierogis and wurtz platter. The pierogis had the most complex flavor but the chicken schnitzel was delicious too. Personally, we didn't like the house-made kraut because the fennel was too strong but really enjoyed the mashed potatoes and sauce!

What a wonderful experience! I've been to hunter dozens of times, and this place is such an amazing addition. The service, food, ambience A+++. We got the potato leek soup and pretzel as an app (hint; mix them together, it's great), chicken schnitzel and bratwurst - all delicious. Our waitress, Michelle, was so attentive and pleasant. I would 10000% come back every time I'm in Hunter.

Made a reservation through Yelp and got seated right away. Impressed with the seating arrangements and sanitizers everywhere. Servers wore mask at lol times. This place is pretty AF. Ordered the Brooklyn dry cider and, they were right, it barely had any sweetness to it. I judge a place by their fries. I fell in love the minute I had that first fry. Beautifully cooked and seasoned with that fine crisp. I had the fig and tomato salad. So fresh and yummy (on the saltier side one of the ingredients which I couldn't identify). Their fried calamari was beautifully breaded and fried as well and came with a complimenting sauce. Highly recommend their salmon flatbread. You're welcome. Lovely, smoked salmon on a perfect base. I'm saving the what for the last- the caramelized onion flatbread was a delight and star of the show. I mean the grilled cheese sandwich and ham was also pretty great but standard. Do order that onion flatbread read though :) If you're in Catskills near hunter mountain get a reservation because they can get pretty busy. I'll definitely be back.

Wow what a find!! We thought we were just popping into a bar for a beer but no! This is so much more!! It was our last night in town unfortunately because I really wanted to go back for a full meal! The food menu was awesome including a variety of vegetarian items! I tried a German wine after the server was kind enough to bring me a couple samples to try out. We also tried the pierogis which were out of this world. Service was great. We sat upstairs outside but all the different areas were nice and had good energy - Inside and out. 100% coming back next time I am in the area.

This place is solid. We came here two nights in a row because it was walking distance from where we were staying a d we didn't want to drive. We tried: The raclette Wurstz platter Smoked trout salad Steak Schnitzel All of the dishes were very good. The raclette was a good balance of cheese to potatoes, a nice selection of pickles and speck with a well dressed arugula salad in the side. The sausage platter had a nice selection (3) of sausages. Each was unique, my favorite was the one with cheese. The saurkraut was quite excellent. A good dish overall. The only complaint is that the sauages were slightly burnt. The smoked trout salad was excellent. We asked for it to be split for two to share, and each portion was generous. The dish is well balanced between the smoked fish, the greens, and the radishes. The steak was a new cut for me, teres major. This is supposed to be thr second most tender cut after the tenderloin, and it didn't disappoint. I asked for black and blue, and thats how I got it. My only comment is that, like the sausages if wa sa bit too burnt, and slightly over salted. But otherwise it was a great steak. The schnitzel was a generous portion, two medium sized pieces. The schnitzel itself was crispy but in my opinion had a bit too much sauce on it. But the the menu said it have sauce, so that's not a real complaint. Overall, this place is worth going to. It's the best restaurant in the area. I highly recommend it.

I came here with my groomsmen for dinner over the weekend and we loved it. The food was awesome and the beer was good, even if it was a little pricey. They had an event going on, but we still were able to get right in and get a table on the upper balcony. It was nice to sit outside and dine while taking in the view of Hunter Mountain.

Staff was very friendly and tried to accommodate my request by sitting us in a corner upstairs ,away from other people. Food was good but I didnt think it was memorable....for what it cost. However, it was a good meal overall. Will be back if I'm around the area again.

Best restaurant I have been to outside of NYC. This is the real deal- whether or not you have been to Germany you will appreciate the undeniable quality and flavor true to its namesake. Beautiful location, excellent service and the food is top top top.

This is a really great place to gather with friends. The cocktails are delicious. The beer list is extensive. They have great appetizers (gotta try their pretzels). This place would get five stars from me if it wasn't for their pricing and portion size. Their soup was tasty, but they charge you for a bowl when you get this ridiculously tiny cup. This isn't the only dish. I hope they get that worked out so the sticker shock doesn't spoil the good time you would definitely be having.

We were looking for a place for dinner and a cold brew on a Monday night in Hunter. First of all there wasn't a lot to choose from. Most places were closed. Not knowing the area and what to expect we were blown away. The atmosphere was great. The food was fabulous. We were excited to try the German food, and we weren't disappointed. The beer was solid, and the staff was excellent. So grateful to find such a sweet spot for dinner.

TL;DR Worst service I've ever experienced Oct 10th, 2020 Party of 10. Arrived around 6:25pm Wait time: 1.5 hrs, originally told 45min. Seated outside in 65 degree weather. Waiter took a while to take our drink order. Our dinner order took a while to be submitted. Appetizers came after 30min. The waiter didnt clear our table for a really long time. Seeing as how hungry we were and wanted to move things along, we stacked the plates and bowls to ensure a speedier clean up process for the waiter. One of my friends met the waiter on the way outside the bathroom, and he said "oh shit" and turned back around into the kitchen. Maybe he forgot to submit the order? Our dinner order came at 9:05pm. When we asked the waiter for a comp to at least remove the drinks from our order. And he curtly said "NO!" and walked away like he was about to miss the bus. He came back giving us a 10% off. We left a $50 tip. We appreciate the discount. However the service was one of the worst we've ever had. Our party was understanding of the limited capacity. And we all know the service industry can be tiring at the end of the day. But we received no courtesy despite being polite and thankful to the waiter. We noticed he was much friendlier with other tables. He would leave the table before we finished our sentences. As for the food, the meals were alright.

Rudest front of house. Attempted to go at 4 pm when their Google listing / yelp said they opened. Was told they open at 5 pm. Came back at 5 pm to be told the earliest reservation was at 830 pm. Really? You couldn't have mentioned that the first time we came? Lost an hour of time on a busy night, with kids who are hungry. How about some consideration? You are in the service industry.

Perfect place to dine in for a day or so when you are in Hunter Mountain area. Specialty German cuisine in an otherwise remote area was very good to have. The price of food is pretty high. Saturday evenings are pretty busy, we had to wait a very long time for our entrees to come out. But our server was very friendly, courteous and helped with quickest service possible.

So happy we stopped in here after a long day of snowboarding at hunter. Skip the lodge and check this place out right across the street. Cozy vibes, cool ambiance, and cold beers, great way to decompress after a long day of skiing. Food was unbelievable, was definitely nervous bc I'm not a huge German fare guy, but I must say, me and my gf were extremely impressed by the quality of food that was put out. The pretzel was so good, soft and buttery. The chicken sandwich is also something you must get, nice play on a German style chicken schnitzel. And the bacon onion pizza was was absolutely incredible. Will definitely be stopping by next time im in the area.

Amazing service, fresh delicious food and great ambiance! First time here with my family and we will definitely be back.

Stopped in to Jägerberg after a day of skiing. Only planned on stopping for a beer but ended up having a few apps too. The first bartender was super attentive and got us each a beer right away. They have a few local beers on tap as well as a few German beers. It was late afternoon so Place was just starting to buzz. After a couple Ayinger yellow beers, we chose a couple apps. I'm a fan of soft pretzels with beer so we got one served with a tasty mustard. We also ordered pickled eggs which were not only delicious, but the presentation with some toasted bread, sauces and garnish was impressive. Lastly we decided to split their Schnitzel (pork) sandwich. While our intention was to split the meal, we didn't give any specific requests. The server came out with two plates, both with fries and a pickle and half a sandwich. That was a nice touch and the pork was cooked perfectly. Atmosphere: Cool little place with long bar and a few tables down stairs with an open balcony feel upstairs with additional dining seating. Not sure if they want to be a bar or restaurant but it seemed more of an apres ski crowd enjoying some drinks. Because it has a dining area, I would say it is family friendly. Menu: Decent beverage menu with good beer offering, some euro schnapps and a full bar as well. Food menu was mostly German fare with some delicious sounding items that we will probably go back for. Pricing is on par with other resort area places. The only negative I have to say was that the service was a bit slow and they didn't seem prepared for a crowd. We sat at end of the bar so we witnessed some of the interactions between the bartender and servers first hand and a few seemed overwhelmed. If they get their staffing straightened out, their bar and their delicious food will make them successful.

I was not the easiest customer to deal with. Our group of nine was uncertain about our timing, number, and whether we wanted to eat outside or in. Luckily, they were not too busy, so were able to accommodate us with significant patience and grace. The restaurant is perfectly clean, beautifully designed, a newish feel but still with character, and the food was delicious. Everyone was a little envious of everybody else's meals, and several of us will be sure to return to try something new. (Oh! And I recommend the Alpine Gin and Tonic!)

Good food and service. The servers looked a bit overwhelmed and beer took a long time to come, but in the end I was not charged due to the wait. Pricey but good portion sizes. Definitely recommend the flatbread with onions and alpine cheese. Great beer selection and very cozy inside.

Let me say this is a year late in review - hubbins and I went up here for a weekend getaway and found this place by chance. We were delighted with everything from the impeccable service, to the calamari with sauerkraut, to the delectable fresh fish, to the hot mulled wine. We will definitely be back on our next trip.

Flavorful, high-quality food and drink in generous portions and a diversified menu, what more could you ask for? As my boyfriend said, if we lived close by, we'd be here all the time - and weigh 600 pounds. No matter what entree you get, get the pretzel appetizer.

Food was excellent, staff very nice and professional, west kill beer on tap! Nice room, and the upstairs is gorgeous!

P H E N O M E N A L Service, Food, the view. We never thought we'd finish aaaallll the food we ordered. We licked the plates clean.

Popped in last Friday night without a reservation. They were busy but we were able to sit at the bar. First time there. German food isn't top on my list of favorite foods but everything we got was so delicious! I had the liver pate and then the chicken Schnitzel which was so good! And the German potato salad was excellent as well. Great drink menu too. Bartender was super nice. Definitely going back soon.

The waitstaff was nice and accommodating. The drinks were good and mixed very well. The food wasn't ideal for me so I only had the pretzel which was also delicious.

One word: DELICIOUS! I was with a group of 12 girls for a friend's bachelorette and the servers accommodated our large group and had excellent customer service. Our food was delivered hot and tasty! We shared multiple items on the menu and my favorite was the flatbread (I can't remember the name exactly) but highly recommend if you're in the area and in the mood for German food!

We visited the Hunter Mountain in the Fall time. The first time I arrived at this restaurant was for dinner. It was totally full and definitely need a reservation. We are happy that we got a seat for lunch on the second day. The vibe is great and the food is awesome.

The food was okay. The place was pretty huge. Not sure what happened but the food was served like after an hour. Plus the server was kinda not in the good mood that he was serving the food in kinda bad way.

It is such a gem in this small town. The ambience was great and the service was good. The food was amazing. We ordered a Schnitzel and the fish special which was recommended by the waitress. Both of them great.

Maybe we were just unlucky. We showed up early on a Saturday evening with the place about half full. We'd seen the reviews and were looking forward to a real fress. With plenty of outdoor seating on a warm day, there was beer in our future as well. Despite our temporarily mislaid reservation, things got off to a good start - friendly staff and not too long a wait for some cold ones, crisp flammekueche, and soft pretzels. The menu said the pretzels would come with landjäger sausages... but they didn't. Our server said, "Oh, is that still on the menu?" Aha. Anyway, we enjoyed sharing a few bites with our brews, and we probably could have gone home happy if we had just quit there. But there were still entrées to come. They didn't come, though. Not soon, anyway. Ho-hum. An hour after sitting down? Nope. Our server, gifted with frankness, came to ask if we wanted more drinks, but not before saying, "Oh, where's your dinner?" She read our minds! Well, our dinner did come a little while afterward. By this time, though, we'd sort of lost our momentum. The portions were enormous and just seemed like too much. The tranche of salmon was poached perfectly, but the microgreens on top were drenched in dressing that was just too acidic. When you already have tomato-ginger water down below, you don't need the extra acid. The chicken schnitzel, which should have been the star of the menu, was dry - and big enough to have come from a Thanksgiving turkey. The Nürnberg sausages were okay, as was the spätzle. Half an hour earlier, we might have dug in with more gusto. But after waiting, the food really needed to be special to make us devour it. And I'm sorry to say, it wasn't. Before we left, our honest-to-a-fault server added that the staff had gone gaga over some minor television actor seated at the next table, a guy we hadn't even recognized. Maybe that kerfuffle affected the timeliness of service to our table, but who knows. Others have clearly had better experiences here, so we wondered how the kitchen got into the weeds so early, even on the weekend. Anyway, it is what it is: the five stars that shrank... ever so slowly... to three.

This place was unbelievably good!!! We were a bit skeptical of the menu (being that it is all German) but the food was fantastic. The drinks were great too! So happy we stopped here after being at the mountain all day.

Walked in this past Saturday (10/15) and the staff was shockingly rude. We patiently waited around 5 minutes for one staff member to acknowledge us and tell us another staff member would help us. Then, the other staff member (a middle aged woman with glasses) came over and said, "No tables." She immediately ran away from us. She never said hello and no apology. She seemed angry, annoyed, and miserable. I am writing this review because it was the strangest (and rudest) encounter I've ever experienced at a restaurant. A simple explanation would have been nice, or maybe telling us how long the wait would be. But no, just a super rude we-have-no-place-for-you-here kind of attitude. I have worked in a restaurants and this is absolutely the wrong way to treat customers. I understand being busy, but an ounce of explanation and kindness would have gone a long way here.

A few months ago we visited our cousins in The Catskills for a weekend trip and we went to Jägerberg for dinner at the suggestion of our family. WOW what a great place, great people, AMAZING (I know this word is used frequently lately but it's really fitting) FOOD! We were back last night with the same cousins and they suggested the Flammkuchen (German style flat bread pizza) with Caramelized Onion, Bacon & Alpine Cheese which was SICK (in a great way) - YUM!!!!! Then my cuz told me that he was there the prior night and he had the Pork Chop and then preceded to tell me that he had never had a Pork Chop this good! OhMyGod - this was truly the best Pork Chop I've ever eaten and I've eaten many a Pork Chop over the years! :) Happily we just purchased a home in the area and plan to make Jägerberg Beer Hall & Alpine Tavern one of our #goto restaurants!
