Coral Gables Restaurant Guide

Fritz and Franz Bierhaus, a new restaurant and sports bar is the latest contribution to the city’s dining and nightlife scene. Now traditional beer steins, south German and Austrian artifacts, and vintage tubas give a hearty Oompah atmosphere that promises pure fun. Returning to his German/Austrian roots, Harald Neuweg has transformed the restaurant and bar into a wood-paneled Bierstube, with a wide variety of Austrian and German brews, plus popular American beers. The Menu offers authentic Austrian/German food that includes Schnitzel, Sausages, Shanks, Gulasch, Forelle Muellerin, Sauerbraten and large variety of salads. The wait staff, clad in custom-made lederhosen, will enliven the family and kid friendly atmosphere with informal dance numbers on the sturdy benches. The shady plaza/beer garden seats up to 500 during festivals, and the indoor area accommodates up to 150. The location is ideal for special events, and Neuweg has lined up several to follow 11 day’s of Oktoberfest. SuperBowl Sunday Party, a three-day Bluesfest, Taste of the Gables, Paella Fest, Gables Gallery Nights, and political and charity fundraising events. Fritz and Franz Bierhaus is one of the few local establishments where patrons can smoke and imbibe at the same time, thanks to an ample covered area bordering the plaza. Bierhaus patrons will find plenty of parking in the City garage (entrance on Aragon Ave).
