Philadelphia magazine has honored Brauhaus Schmitz with three “Best of” titles in their annual “Best of Philly” issues. Open since 2009, the restaurant has revived the city’s love affair with its ethnic heritage and reintroduced a whole generation of Philadelphians to the foods of their forefathers.
To complement the much-lauded food at Brauhaus, Hager continues to grow its outstanding beer list. By cultivating close relationship with brewers during his visits to Germany, Hager procures 34 of his 34 taps from there, many of which he pours exclusively among the city, state and even the country. Most of his 100-bottle list is also imported from Germany.

Great little German spot on South Street. Unfortunately, due to COVID a lot of the visitors are required to be outdoors and essentially on the street (roped off of course). This puts you very close to the cars and motorcycles passing by, and its South Street so...you know what that means. This is not the fault of the restaurant, it's just the times we're living in. Overall, this is a nice spot to eat dinner and have a few beers. I highly recommend.

The one drawback to the outdoor sidewalk seating is all of the background noise from vehicle traffic on South Street and the pedestrians walking by.

They're back in swing. Had the full wurst plate. The new chef Vanlentin Bay has exerted influence in the kitchen and come up with really great stuff. As always the tap list was marvelous. We were there on a friday, the service was a touch slow, but what do you expect. Eating on the sidewalk on South Street was a change of pace. Nice to watch the motorcycle/ATV parade of young men who really need girlfriends. But if you don't want hubbub and fizz, what are you doing in the city?

It was a 40th birthday and that was not even once acknowledged. Made reservations for the roof 2 weeks prior - but not acknowledged! Service was extremely slow, food was ok, and then 10min before the 2h are up we get a “you gotta go in 10min!” - mind you it took 30min to put our order in and at least another 30-40 to get the food. We did not have a chance to get desert or anything. So if service is so slow - maybe extend the seating time to 2.5-3h! And then 18% gratuity automatically included in the check - so we couldnt even tip according to service level - probably the reason why the service was so bad 🤷🏻‍♀️

Despite the noise with everyone cruising on the street, it was a great time. The service was outstanding (which I don't say very often), the food was very good, and they had a wonderful selection of beers on tap and bottle. I will definitely be back!

Food is always delicious and the rain stopped long enough for dinner. We were on the rooftop and had a great view. A little more light to eat by would have been nice but we love this place and are never disappointed.

Great beers, amazing food and beautiful spot. We sat on the roof deck, and there was an amazing view of the city. The service was exceptional, considering all the steps. Highly recommend the wurst platter.

The rooftop section is great! There's a great breeze. It's also quieter than the main floor outside dining. I highly recommend for I friends or a date.
