A mid week lunch @ Bierkeller

Wednesday is always a great day to head into town for lunch to break up the working week and so this week I went to sample the menu at Bierkeller, located on Friar Lane, Nottingham.

Being a German inspired bar, I felt the need to try one of their beers (though usually not a fan), I was surprisingly impressed by the grapefruit flavoured beer and would most definitely have it again.

As a three storey sports venue, there is a lot to go at here, with their party venue on the lower level, which hosts regular party night’s, events and can be hired for private functions.

Shooters on the first floor, is their sports bar, a large area featuring plenty of fun games to choose from and not forgetting the large screen televisions dotted throughout the venue showing fight nights and sports ongoing.

The ground floor, where we sat, featured a couple of pool tables/games machines and a large bar area with wooden bench seating.  The service is friendly and I noticed their bar menu featured plenty of German inspired dishes including Warm Giant Pretzels served with sour cream (yes we ordered one of those!), a selection of Wursts – wunderbar German sausage in a brioche roll, topped with ketchup,  mustard, crispy onions and sauerkraut.

Being vegetarian, I opted for one of the Sourdough Dough Boys Pizzas ( Veggie Feast) topped with mushrooms and peppers, (not a sausage in sight, as worded on the menu), but I could have also chosen the Vegan Currywurst loaded fries, or Vegan Bratwurst to name a few other veggie options.

My dining partner particularly enjoyed his Cheese Frankfurter and paid compliments to the fries served with it and on that note we were full to the brim with no need for anything else to finish.  

To summarise, if you are looking for simple yet tasty lunch options accompanied by a vast selection of beers, in a venue that offers atmosphere and the option of games, you will find Bierkeller just the ticket.
