Reviews for Asbury Festhalle & Biergarten in Asbury Park, NJ
This was my first time here. I can see why this place is so popular. I know the area very well, and spent my summers growing up... in Bradley Beach and Asbury Park. It's located next to the Asbury park Distilling Company. That being said,what makes this placeunique is its size. Once you enter and walk up a flight of stairs, or ( THERE'S A WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE ELEVATOR FOR HANDICAP.)you can see just how big this place is. You will need to put your name in with the hostess if you want to get a table, unlessyou have a reservation. Inside, there's a 6000 sq ft indoor hall where they claim to be the biggest Austro-Hungarian Biergartenon the Jersey Shore. The bartenders serve premium local, and international draft beers. If beer isn't your thing, you can alsoget mixed drinks, a bit pricey for the size. The have HAPPY HOUR Weekdays from 4-7pm All day on Fridays Weekends from 1-3pm.They are closed Mondays and Tuesdays. In the back right corner is a long bar, some high tops, and long wooden communal tablesall across the entire room. It has the feel of an industrial warehouse. The floor is concrete, the tables are wood, the ceilingis high and completely open. Asbury Festhalle & Biergarten has a very cool vibe, perfect for the area. Upstairs, there's a 9000sq ft rooftop Biergarten with communal outdoor seating, with umbrellas. You can take in the lovely views and watch people rentthe swan paddle boats. You can also bring your DOGS to rooftop bar only. They host MOVIE NIGHT ( check schedule) and also haveWEEKLY BANDS, ( check schedule.) Since this place is so unique, they also BOOK WEDDINGS. ( it's best to check and see when theregoing to be closed so there's no surprises.) They have street metered parking, and several lots in the area, along with a fewhandicapped spaces. FYI- this place gets crazy busy! It was a hot summer's day on a Saturday,so I started with a mixed drink ofTito's and club with lemon upstairs at the rooftop bar. Once my family showed we put our Read more
Long lines at the bar, but such an amazing roof top space with live music. Plenty of seating areas both on the roof and indoors... downstairs. The wall gardens were very pretty. Cash only for food was a bummer. But took cards at the bar at least. Read more
Prime rib sandwich was a bit messy but real good. Buttermilk chicken sandwich had the perfect crunch to it. The salty fries... definitely was an added bonus! Read more
Amazing real German food! I got the pulled pork and had some bratwurst.. we went for a comedy show, it was so good! The staff... was very good, foods good, prices are average bat prices I guess. But great experience. Read more
Very cool place. Beers were expensive, $20 for two. We very pleased with the beers that were recommended to us. We'd go back... again. Read more
I had my rehearsal dinner at the Biergarten. We had about 55 guests so we got the entire left side of the restaurant. The food... was served buffet style which was perfect so guests could move around and mingle. The waiters were excellent…there was neveran empty drink. Regina was a pleasure to work with. She was extremely accommodating and helpful. We were able to decorate thetables and light candles (which was great cause typically restaurants don’t let you do that). After the dinner was over wewere able to keep mingling in the semi private area. Everyone loved the food, atmosphere, and live music!! Read more
Staff are friendly and attentive. Great beer recommendations...everyone in our group enjoyed them! Only had the wings: they... were tasty and not very spicy, as advertised. Can't wait for our next visit! ???? Read more
My wife and I stopped by for a few beers and snacks. The pretzel was really good and they have a nice selection of European and... trendier American craft beers. The place is huge and the rooftop deck is amazing! Food service was limited to downstairs whilewe were there which was the only down side. Both my wife and I can't wait to go back! Read more
