The Bier Markt

Went to Bier Markt on a Friday night for a birthday celebration — dinner and drinks. I reserved a table for 10 a couple days before, calling in and reserving was simple and easy. I also let them know we would be bringing in our own cake — Note: if you’re bringing in your own birthday cake, there is a minimal charge for that. Also, if you want them to cut and plate it, there’s a small charge for that as well.
On the day of the event, Bier Markt called to confirm my reservation which was a nice touch.
Once arrived, we were shown to our seats. The beer menu was expansive, and as a beer drinker, it was great to have so much choice. Their 7oz, 6 drink beer flights are nice, but wish you could choose the beer you wanted in the flights.
The menu is your bar/​pub food — some nice dishes, but burgers, sandwiches and steak frites some of the most popular on the menu. We started with the crab dip which was delicious. Then the steak frites for dinner — steak was cooked well and the frites were delicious.
As for the service, our waitress Pam was on great throughout the night. We were there from 8pm to 1am, and throughout that entire time, she ensured we had everything we needed — thank you Pam!
Music started around 930−10pm, they had a DJ and a band. The DJ was great and kept the vibe up and people moving (at least nodding their heads). However the band I felt was much less engaging. Music is personal preference, but I felt the type of songs chosen to play were either too slow, not engaging enough, and not as fun for a Friday night.
Overall I would definitely visit Bier Markt again, more for drinks and apps, hope I would get the same service and hope that the DJ plays a lot more than the band.

This place is a great place to go during the warmer weather since they have a patio! The service was great and I definitely don’t have any complaints about the food and drinks. Would recommend!

Horrible service by a bartender… no need to say her name. Here’s a tip… you’re in a customer service role if you don’t like it get a new job!
If you’re going to step outside make sure ALL security guards know your face and coming back in. As I was about to go back in the guard stopped me and made me wait back in line this was after I told him I’ve been in there for an hour and half. The stamp I had on when I first got there was almost worn off.
Not really going back there. People got to bars to relax and have a good time not deal with the staffs snotty attitude and power tripping guards.

definitely geared towards an older more mature crowd that can appreciate what they have to offer. To me, it was overpriced and boring. Pretty décor though!

We went here on Wednesday night for a birthday party. Our waitress was amazing ! Food was so good. Everyone was really happy

The food is pretty good!
Had the bier markt burger which is good and the fries are great. Had it 2 times before but the merchant burger is way better but its 9 bucks more if you feel ballin (but it is wagyu)
The rest of the party had the fish and chips, and the steak frites which I’m told were excellent and i tried, so verified good.
Server was super nice, worth checking out if your in the square one area.
They also show the raptors game, so bang bang extra points.

I really like the franchise but this location, especially at lunch on a Saturday, the service was subpar. And, it wasn’t busy. I decided to come here for lunch with a girlfriend and at first when you enter they greet you and immediately took us to our table, great beginning. Then we looked at the drink menu, can be overwhelming at first. We decided on our drinks, I got the Stiegl Grapefruit Radler, light and refreshing beer with a hint of sweet grapefruit, great beer for those starting to drink malt beer. The waitress brought me something else and didn’t return to the table. I had to get the bartender to switch it for me. Then I ordered fish and chips. The fish was deepfried and crispy on the outside, and flaky on the inside. Fries were delicious. The so called slaw salad was tasteless with no dressing. Tell me how after a couple bites I was thinking something is missing… the tartar sauce. I had to get the bartender’s attention, as our waitress had vanished. They brought the tartar sauce and that completed my meal. Like I said, I love this franchise, but not this location for their lunch time service. I’ll try it again at night, with the live band.

This is quite the cute little spot. I came here for drinks and was greeted warmly by a hostess. She asked me if I’ve ever been there and what I liked to drink.
I was seated in a booth promptly and asked if I would like anything to drink. I ordered a Sex on the Beach. I have to say it’s the tastiest Sex on the beach I’ve ever had.
I will say that you should order a double shot of vodka as it hardly tasted like it had any alcohol in it at all.
The music was blaring and had a lounge type feel to it. The energy in this place was nice.
Service was very good as well, our waitress checked up on us repeatedly and was very attentive.
The live band is awesome,. They were singing some nice songs, for example «Ascension» by Maxwell and I equally enjoyed their version.
I will definitely be returning.

Celebrated new years here with a party of 8. Provided us with live music and hats/​masks and a little place to dance. Perfect calm but fun at the same time environment. Our table was ready on time and the service was great. The restaurant is pricey but the food is definitely good. I always get the schnitzel because it’s schnitzel and schnitzel is simply heaven. I also seriously recommend there candied bacon. If you like bacon, which you do because who doesn’t like bacon, is a must try! To die for! Beer selection is on point!!! Beers to match your taste. Fruity to bitter, Canadian to German, you name it!

Price:
$ 7.74 Leffe Brun
$ 17 Small sausage board with extra cheese
$ 24 Cheese and Lager fondue
I usually have a great time here at Bier Markt, but the experience last night was just so surprisingly poor.
My boyfriend and I arrived excited and happy to eat here, only to be greeted by a hostess who seemed so frazzled and distracted. She asked how many people we needed a table for and we told her a table for 2. A company of 3 arrives after us, and they were taken to a table right away. She returns to us and asks us again how many people we needed a table for, forgetting that she had already asked us just minutes earlier. She apologized saying that they were short a hostess.
Our waitress was really pleasant and sweet, but seemed overworked.
We ordered a small sausage board and the cheese and lager fondue. On other visits when we previously bought the fondue, it was thick and creamy and perfectly cheesy. But when we received it this time around, it was so watered down and had the look and consistency of milk. We called our waitress over and explained this and she took it back to the kitchen. When she returned with the new fondue, it was thicker and much like what we remember it as being. She mentioned that even the kitchen thought it was too watery and apologized.
The small sausage board was tasty! However, the bottom of the pretzel was pretty burnt. But we just ate it anyway.
Overall, disappointing experience but maybe last night was just busy. I still enjoy coming to Bier Markt and try not to let it affect future experiences.

3.5*
I’m not exactly the first person to jump on these trendy «let’s go there for some post-​work drinks» chain restaurants, but honestly, not as bad as I thought it was going to be.
(YES, after work hours the crowd is mainly corporate, so just a heads up!)
Patio was a little more than 50% full and it seemed like a nice place to chill out. It’s set far enough away from City Centre Dr. Inside had a different vibe, I thought it was quite dim despite it being sunny outside. If you have a choice and it’s nice out, sit outside.
Parking: There is a gate for the parking lot in the back, but the gates automatically lift at 6pm, so essentially it’s free in the evening. Not sure how much it is if you have to park there during the day.
I’m just dabbling in beer and admittedly I’m more of a girly beer drinker, so I split the Sweet & Sour Flight with my friend ($ 25). The flights came with 6 flavours are were about ½ pint each — if not smaller. We’re not heavy drinkers, so that was more than enough for the 2 of us!
We also split a Poutine Tour ($ 22) which featured all 3 flavours of poutine. I thought it was quite good, but just the Classic alone would’ve been okay. They more or less taste all the same — plus/​minus a coupla ingredients.
I did not bother looking at the rest of the menu as that was enough food. And there are different specials depending on the day of the week.
I’m very surprised that this is one of the few bars in the city that have flights, so definitely a good place to check out if you’re a beer lover! Server, Janelle was very friendly and informative, so I was quite surprised about that. :)

Went to Bier Market for a friend’s birthday. Wasn’t expecting there to really be anything for me so I ate in advance (I’m so prepared).
As I assumed, the only «safe» things on the food menu were salads. No thanks. I’ve had enough salads to last me a lifetime. It’s pretty much the standard response at any place that doesn’t have gfree options — well, you can have salad.
Anyways! My friends who did eat seemed to really enjoy their food so Bier Market appears to have the food part down pat — and more so than a bar would. It’s much closer (if not spot on) to restaurant fare at a chain. Definitely not bad!
The drinks — obvi what people come here for. So they did have gfree beer, but I don’t actually like beer so that didn’t appeal to me. They did however also have some yummy ciders. I had a Somersby cider and it was delicious. They have a whole page dedicated to the gfree world, which I appreciated. The beer menu itself is over 40 pages so they have variety up the wazoo and something to please everyone. So whether you’re looking to be social, to experiment, to taste-​test or to just drink a lot of beer, Bier Market is where it’s at. They even have tasting options to order several beers at once! A great place for the beer connoisseur!

The food here is really good but the service is terrible.
We had the Pastrami Poutine and Baked Brie – both were delicious. We weren’t too hungry so the serving size was really filling, but otherwise I would say that the serving size for the meals are perfect for accommodating drinks, not for filling you up. We got two cocktails, Rose Bellini and Strawberry Daiquiri, instead of just beer. Definitely recommend the daiquiri, not the bellini.
But aside from the food/​drinks, what I really want to point out is the terrible service. When we arrived, there were 3 hostesses at the front and NONE of them even bothered to look up or greet us when we got in. Once we got their attention and got seated, they told us that our waitress would be with us shortly. We waited at least 15 minutes and no one came to take our orders. Finally, we stopped a waitress walking by and she told us that she’s not our server and pointed out to us the girl that was supposed to be our server. Well, our assigned waitress just never came to our table so we ended up giving our orders to another waitress that walked by. Then at the end, when we asked for the debit machine to pay the bill, we had to wait around 10 minutes for it to come… and guess what? It was finally our assigned waitress coming to give it to us. Anyways, I checked the receipt and it said that we had been served by Ally but I don’t even know which one of them was Ally.
I really can’t stand bad service so the lack of communication between its employees at this location really ticked me off. Not going back again.

Wide beer selection, creative and tasty food menu for a pub and had live entertainment whenever we were there… Didn’t tried the indoor part, but it looked acceptable…
Beer sampling was a good experience, pizza looked authentic Italian with a twist (I expected a dull North American style), mussels were decently tasty (they could have presented them better…).
The host was accommodating despite showing up with no reservation on a busy evening. Our waiter was prompt and well informed on types of beers… That said, the place can do a better job in training its staff not to over do it with casualness (out of no where our waiter jumped into a selfie a friend was taking with his beer sampler, hugged half the people around the table and asked us where are we from!!)
Parking might be an issue… Not an issue for me as it is just around the corner from my building.

Came here at about 3Pm on a Thursday. It wasnt that busy but we could tell that it must be really busy at end of the day, with all the office towers around it.
The waitresses we’re all really nice and helpful. I had french onion soup and the bacon poutine.
The soup was good and pretty filling for the price. Surprisingly this was my first time have a french onion soup and I really enjoyed it.
The bacon poutine was also really good. The candied bacon was tasty and overall the poutine looked small but it was really good and filling. The gravy was tasty and the fries were perfectly cooked.
We were there at an off time and all the food was great.
The waitress quickly explained the beer tasting yo us although we didnt drink the entire process seems pretty cool and a good way to taste a lot of different beers.
I will return here for sure!

In my opinion, service was great. The hostess did an excellent job welcoming us and
informing the newbies about how the Beer Menu works and offered her recommendations without hesitation. The waitress was friendly & helpful but I would say that her service did dip a little after our initial drink + app order. She could have been more attentive, available and prompt in terms of bringing drinks + requested items.
Ambiance was excellent until the live band started playing. The music was absolutely too loud to hear each other :(On the plus side, the rock band was off the chainz! Trove’s performance was outstanding and the crowd really enjoyed them. Apparently this location is just starting to offer live music on Thursday nights (around 8pm) so I hope they learn from this experience and lower the volume next time. I mean it was louder than most bars and clubs I’ve been to… some diners just left. Lesson learned, maybe.
Décor is gorgeous. Patrons dressed chic and quite easy on the eyes… was a little caught off guard lol. That’s a good thing :) Glad I opted for that chic yet sexy blouse and not the sweater when I was choosing my outfit! Men looked hot but I noticed most of their eyes were fixated on the men at our table LOL. I was convinced this location was a favorite of the ‘Sauga Gay/​Bisexual community — which I have no qualms about! Just a word of advice — dress to impress :) Ladies were hot too which I certainly don’t mind as well :)
If it weren’t for the amazing food, I would have rated this experience a 3 star. Pretzel Calamari, Chicken Soup, Bier Markt Wings were really impressive and uniquely flavoured. The best apps I’ve had in a long time :)
I’m not a huge lover of beer but I do love Fruili and the Somersby Cider the Hostess recommended to me :) Would love to try the sweet & sour flight next visit :) OK there’s too many smilie faces in this review — clearly, that’s a good sign! The Bartender also did a fantastic job on my friend’s Double Amaretto Sour — wow! That’s my new drink! (smilie face omitted… trying to restrain myself here lol)
All in all, it was a memorable foodie AND music experience and I can’t wait to return to this location & check out others. The summer patio I’d going to be fabulous! Cheers to losing my Bier Markt virginity!

First time trying this restaurant, and I wasn’t completely satisfied with my time there.
What made me extremely disappointed was the wait time for the food to come out. And when it did it mostly came out all at the same time (apps and mains).
The food isn’t too pricey, and the items are fairly delicious. I just think that with the kind of service we had, there are definitely better places.
What made me give this place 3 stars: Our waitress was extremely knowledgable with the beers they had, and with the items on the menu.

I’ve been to all other Bier Markt location, and I felt my experience at this newest Bier Markt was sub par to my visits to other Bier Markt.
Ambiance:
The interior was a lot brighter than Don Mills or Esplanade location. It helped when you are trying to read the small print on the drink menu. We were seated in front of the large screen projector tv but too bad there wasn’t any sound. However I hate their chairs — both stools and booth — at almost all the locations. They were tiny and small and slippery. I don’t know how I managed the night without falling off my chair.
Food:
Bier Market has an impressive selection of beers on tap and in bottles. However, I would also suggest West 50 Pourhouse & Grille and Failte Irish Pub if you are looking for large beer selection and local craft brews.
There were two sets of food menu. They provided postcards that were sneak peak of their new menu that will be available on Feb 9. I ordered a Grilled Chicken and Sweet Peas Penne on the new menu. It was delicious. There were a few other items on the new menu that I found interesting as well.
Service:
The service was the reason why I am only giving it a 3 star. I came with a large group on a weeknight that was not busy. It took about 20 minutes before our drink orders were taken. Another 15 minutes before we could order our food. I was about to order a second drink but she didn’t come back to our table to see if I am good. Eventually I forgot about ordering another drink. I felt if the service was a bit faster and more attending it would be even better.

I really like this location more than the Toronto ones which are known for their strict rules of minimum orders of entrees only, not appetizers or a bunch of appetizers, for a group to sit down for dinner. There is also a line up rain or shine and it isn’t worth the line up to get into.
This location has a huge patio (great for people watch and getting some fresh air). they opened at the perfect time, in the midst of summer for their launch.
I’ve tried their poutines (all very delicious and savory), flat breads, mussels, steak and several of the beers they have to offer.
Their selling point for me is the beer selections (try the $ 20 beer flights to taste a bit of a few well selected beers).
The atmosphere on the patio is great and very fun with good music playing. the atmosphere inside could get over whelming if you are there to talk and not dance. It’s extremely loud no matter where you are sitting inside. The dance floor and live stage for bands are both pretty good.
The servers are great, whether they have to shout or not, they are very friendly and I found much more professional and not snobby like the ones at their downtown locations.
I go here a few times a month to enjoy their apps and beers with friends. They have a huge parking lot behind the restaurant so its very easy to pull in and go. They have definitely launched themselves to the number 1 spot to hang out in central Mississauga for me.

Uhh… okay, I’ve never been to a Bier Markt before, so you can imagine my surprise when they told me, we have over 150+ beers on tap. Well, bartender actually meat 150+ beers total, not on tap. Regardless, I was handed a book in what I thought was the food menu. Nope. Drinks menu. I had no idea where to start. Bartender pointed out to me that it had tabs organized by type of beer. For most people, they would know what to do. Unfortunately, I was still dumbfounded, so I asked «I want something light, but fruity». She recommended the Stiegl Grapefruit Radler. It was exactly what I needed on a hot summer day.
Went down smooth and tasted more like a spirit than a beer, but I was very happy with it.
So overall for the bar service/​drinks: ⁵⁄₅.
Food: I only ordered the Pastrami Poutine because I got inspired (tangent: I’m getting annoyed that spell check says poutine is not a word) by an online pic. Fries were good, pastrami was okay but it was too shaved for my liking as opposed to big thick slices. It was acceptable, but nothing great. ³⁄₅.
Overall, this is a great new bar in the area that also has a nice patio.
