Brauhaus Schmitz,
Established 2009.
Since opening in 2009, Brauhaus has quickly become one of the most authentic German Bierhalls and Restaurants in the United States. With 34 German beers on draft and over 50 in bottle, we are proud to offer more German beer than anyone else outside of Deutschland! Through our close personal relationships with brewery friends, we’ve been able to help bring countless new beers to the city of Philadelphia (and the country) for the first time ever. We guarantee you will never find the assortment of German beers that you can find here!
Since 2009, Brauhaus Schmitz has revived the city’s love affair with its German heritage and reintroduced a whole generation of Philadelphians to the foods of their forefathers. This Teutonic kitchen churns out excellent Haus-Made Sausages, Savory Schnitzels, and the Best Schweinhaxe outside Munich. To complement the much-lauded food at Brauhaus, Owner Doug Hager continues to grow its outstanding beer list. By cultivating a close relationship with brewers during his frequent visits to Germany, Brauhaus can present the World’s Largest German beer selection with 34 rotating draft lines, all imported from the Vaterland! In addition to the amazing draft beer selection, you will find another 100 mostly German Flaschenbier (Bottles) and a well-rounded wine and spirits selection!
Be sure to check out their selection of German Schnaps! Prost!!

Great for families too!Posted on Jiabin RenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The day after Christmas, I came to taste German pork knuckle and ordered a light beer. It felt as if I had traveled through time and space to Munich. 12/26/2025Posted on hanieh nasrollahiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Coming from Texas, where German cafes aren’t as common, I enjoyed the atmosphere and food here. The pretzels were particularly delicious.
