Wow, Brauhaus had a wonderful selection of beers. The food was good. If you dont like smoking I would say avoid the bar area. Other then that they dont seem to have boots.

Great German food and beer, friendly staff and beautiful view from the patio. Currently no valet parking so a bid of a walk from the parking lot especially when it’s 41c outside

Pure Germany food. Excellent quality, the place is beautiful—worth going at the days end and staying outside.

Had an amazing time here. The food was delicious and the drinks kept on coming! Nighttime has phenomenal lighting and aesthetic. There was an outside bar as well and very friendly staff. The first night I actually switched over from hard liquor to beer and I now enjoy beer ever since.

Wiener schnitzel was quite large and tasted very good, very similar to Germany and Austrian schnitzels. Crispy fries were a bonus.

Freshest German beer in town and probably the best German food in town too... If you cant travel to Germany during this Covid pandemic.. this place will surely satisfy your German food temptation .

Nice, cozy restaurant on a good location near the beach. At first we were sitting outside where the waiter was very nice, than, because we were with a baby, we went inside where the waitress wasnt wery polite. It seemed like she dont like her job, or it was a bad day for her. But, we got what we asked for and it was nice and tasty.

If you want to try real and authentic Bavarian/Austrian food and drinks in Abu Dhabi, Brauhaus is the perfect place. Just tastes like home.

Review №15

Great food and beer. We were disappointed by our servers robotic and unwelcoming approach which made us feel more like just another bill for her to ring in rather than a cherished guest. Not even a thanks for coming, see you next time as we left. 5/5 for the quality, portion size, and selection of food and beer. 2/5 for the service, though it was quick there was just no personality in it.

Terrific display of live cooking..... fried rice, mixed veggies & prawns were great ! Chicken & beef very average. Ambience is quite good !

One of my favorite places in Abu dhabi. For those who look after beer restaurants I would strongly advise. Selection of food offered there can match to variety of beers served in this beautiful place i the heart of the city.

Good food and drinks, even though not many choices for pesceterians. Before you had at least 1 fish choice. 2nd thing, why cant you change a channel if there is only football news on, no match etc. And on another channel is nice tennis match. Few times i asked, they say SORRY. Everyone left the pub but still they wouldnt change 1 screen, just 1 SCREEN! Cause screens are connected 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Tough to get parking in the hotel so best to use mall parking and then walk. Place is usual fare for Abu Dhabi pubs. Drinks pricey and limited to basic choices. Even beer choices limited for whats supposed to be a German beer Hall type of place. Staff friendly but slow service. And of course like most bars here, lots and lots of pros for those uninitiated. So folks with families: youve been ⚠️.

Well this was our second visit to Brauhaus, and yes I was still surprised and VERY impressed. The food was great, the space has a unique welcome coupled with the look and feel. The staff were very attentive, with a level of care and attention to detail. That is a winning combination. Well done, drinks were on time, just the right temperature, ambiance was great, no fuss. To the Management- thank you for a job well done, we will be back for more memories, tasty and delicious food and love and care from the whole team.

I love visiting Brauhouse especially when I can sit outside. They have variety of very good German beer and tasty dishes. Music recently changed, it was German music before, which I appreciated. I would prefer the old music they had, but other than that everything is amazing.

This rating is influenced by what is here and how hard it is to find in United Arab Emirates. Ive visited this location these past 15 years and the fair has been fairly constant (change of head chef, style of fair maybe a little different but still great).What I believe to be real German cuisine and a good variety of German draft beers. This restaurant is part of the Rotana Hotel and is in the back right of the hotel. The Christmas market is an annual thing at the hotel and during December it is right outside the Brauhaus between the lobby and the pool area.…for us westerners that like pork one can get it here at the Brauhaus. They have a great Christmas buffet type option with a whole hog/pig.I have frequented this restaurant several times over the years. My go to meal is Goulash Soup, and as my main course either Jager Schnitzel or Cordon Bleu.They also have Famous Grouse a Blended Scotch, which is a pretty smooth full flavor Speyside great tasting whisky that I prefer over Johnnie, Dewar’, and Chivas.One does need to get a reservation because of limited seating inside, especially for dinner. Without a reservation a good time to go to Brauhaus is for a late lunch (4 to 5pm) early dinner …before 7 to 10pm where most of the reservations happen for this restaurant.On special holidays like Oktoberfest there is usually a nice buffet style meal.

For about 300 AED I come here weekly to indulge in my German favorites. I would never just get one entree. Normally I would order wiener schnitzel with two orders of bratkartoffeln. On the way out I would order a bratwurst for later. Everything tasted like it should.The complimentary bread with 3 different spreads was new to me, but quite enjoyable.Everyone once in a while I would catch the chef while he was out of the kitchen to try and speak a little German.Overall, fantastic place! If youre in Abu Dhabi, check this place out.

Great place with brilliant outdoor seating. The beer and the food deserve a 4.5 star rating. But the service is below par for a place as this. The folks are nice and friendly, but too few and overworked.Best place to visit for german sausages, sauerkraut and draft german beers.

Great german restaurant bar to go The food is very tasty and very similar to what you can find in germany The staff team is very friendly The selection of beer is great We will continue to come back. They serve pork dishes that are really superb. Air conditioned smoking area during summer days is super cool. Outside dining is also perfect at night with a wonderful view of Sowwah Island. Food is great, amazing place and good service. Special mention to Albert for being so funny and accommodating. You deserve a raise mah men! definitely going back..

A very nice place to handout with friends. a Bar, with indoor and outdoor seating. Very good selection of German Beers with great but limited food selection. The best Vienna Schnitzel in town (by far) and fantastic sausages , the one with cheese is simply superb. Good value for money and very good place to meet with freinds. Very much recommended.

A great place to sit outside with a view on the hotels garden and the water (if the weather allows you). There is also a nice German pub inside where you can hear all the music from Deutsland..... Having Happy Hour daily from 16-18 hour. All beers half price and one wine of each colour. Unfortunately Chardonnay is not included!Most staff friendly and helpful. One of them you better avoid always grumpy....

Great food and beer. Terrible service. We were sat down, we had a reservation, and after 20 minutes had to ask a passing waiter for a menu. We ordered our drinks with him. 40 minutes after during down I went to the manager to complain as we still hasnt received our drinks! I have to say it wasnt full either. The food was good, the drinks were as you would expect but pricey for spirits.All in all quite disappointed.

Absolutely terrible. This was one of my favourite restaurants in the whole of the UAE but the experience I had there recently was complete rubbish. We waited around an hour and a half for our food with multiple waiters coming up to us and saying its just coming throughout that time. Every other table around us was getting their food even if they had ordered after us. I am so disappointed and wont be coming back for a LOOOONG while. The service was terrible except for a single tall waiter who was nice enough to say he was sorry. Ended up walking out of the restaurant after the last its coming in 10 mins was 30 mins earlier. Ended up going to Wagamamas in Abu Dhabi mall which was next to the restaurant, was great. Such a shame.

I have never had such a negative experience with bar/restaurant service. The events took place over the World Cup 2018 period. I rang the place in advance trying to book a table in the tent assembled for a specific purpose of watching football matches. I was told over the phone they did not take reservations and operated on first-come first-served basis in that area of the bar. Alternatively, I could book a table in the main area, nevertheless the person who attended my call mentioned that they had only one screen there. As a result I did not book a table. On the day we arrived around 45 minutes in advance and very excited about the match just to find out that most of the tables were reserved! Mistakes happen, not the end of the world, right!? Having approached one of the waiters (tall, athletic looking guy) and trying to explain the situation I was told, in a very inadequate manner, to wait for the area manager. 10-15 minutes later we unsuccessfully tried to make an order as the manager was still nowhere to be seen, and apparently they could not accept our order while we were temporarily seated. At that point it started to get a bit ridiculous and even people at the next table made a remark regarding the rudeness of the waiter (there is more to say about his behavior but I will not bore with details). Eventually we got seated at a big table with other people that we didnt know. And as a cherry on the cake they forgot my food order so I had to reorder! Never going back again.

Located inside the Rotana Hotel, next to Benihana, the Brauhaus is nice restaurant that serves German food fare. Here you will find a selection of weissbiers (wheat beers), and an array of German food. Note that they serve great schnitzels and their pretzel buns are pretty good! Service however is at times a little slow. HSBC credit card = 20% off.
