Visited Bier Markt on a Tuesday evening & while there were a reasonable number of people in the restaurant, it was certainly not crowded. Our group (of 6) discovered that this is definitely not the Bier Markt of old when the wait staff were knowledgeable about what they were serving & the service was reasonable. The first 2 beers I asked about (from the menu), they did not have. After waiting almost 25 minutes to find this out, I ordered an Erdinger Dunkel, which they did have (we'd been there 35 minutes by the time we got our first drink). One of our party asked for pineapple juice (our server didn't know if they had it). The food was hit & miss. I had the pork schnitzel which was huge but had had every drop of moisture cooked out of it although another of our party had the pasta & they said it was perfect. All in all, the service was incredibly slow (it was this bad the last time we were here as well), and the beer selection, for a place that claims to be a beer pub, was extremely hit & miss. We agreed among our group that we would not be returning.
