It was our first time at the German Club. It has a very casual atmosphere. It felt more like a large cafe surrounded by green fields & the service was prompt & efficient. Once you enter you will be greeted at the service/reception desk where they have a map & visual guides to inform you on their procedure. Prior to entering the dining area you will have to register with your i.d (digital license is accepted) as well as foreign i.d. & inform the attendant if you have a booking. You must be of legal drinking age to intake an alcoholic beverage.
Ordering takes place at the bar counter area & not at your table which has a number so take note when ordering. The atmosphere is casual & you can see children running around on the lawns kicking a ball or playing with one of the provided games.
Neighbouring guest sing, "Happy Birthday" aloud & you find you & your friends singing along & calling out, "Hip Hip HORAY!"
It can get loud inside & outside (covered veranda) But guests are pleasant & pets are allowed (but must stay on a leash). There was a mixed pitbull next to our table & was a little aggrevated by a neighbouring bulldog that barked at it. The owner had to pull hard on the strap but it managed to push our chairs aside. The young man was appologetic & politely walked the dog away to avoid the smaller dog who was clearly antagonizing his pitbull.
The drinks were good. Just pour your own at the table but I believe they have taps at the bar. It has a family-friendly atmosphere but keep an eye on little ones because the green space is open & not gated & at night it can be a bit dim around the parking area so hold on to your little ones when walking to your vehicles.
The train station is near by which makes it convenient for those who avoid driving under the influence. Please Drink Moderately.
The furniture & interior is dated. I felt like I went back in time to the 90s but you quickly grab yourself a drink, order a meal & catch up with family & friends & think...THIS IS GREAT! You make the place better by bringing your good vibes in & don't concern yourself with the interior.
As for the food, I had the chicken shnitzel with mushroom sauce. Incompared it to UNA's & thought I'd be able to finish it but the size is quite deceiving. It's definitelt not small. But I was adviced to try the Veal Schnitzel next time because it's much tastier compared to the Chicken Schnitzel (as shared to me by our friend who LOVES food!)
The Sausages! I will have to get the sausages next time. I doubt I can get through 3 but the Kransky is my favorite. Their cooking method is simple so for those of you who prefer a smoked or grilled sausage, this is not the place.
All in all, I rate it a 5 star because you leave your cares behind & you can relax & have a pint with your dog's head in your lap while watching your friends play an impromptu game of cricket on the field or kick the footy around than toast to a lovely day!
