Hakodate BeerHall — Restaurant in Hakodate

Like other reviewers commented, this restaurant can't live up to the identity of a German beer hall. The menu is eclectic catering to Japanese and Western palettes but falls short in execution. My daughter's steak was overcooked and dry was the most egregious error.

The food was served hot and very efficiently. But the service staff seemed uncharacteristically lukewarm and disinterested. I noticed immediately upon being greeted coldly, then flatly explained how to order via the QR code. This same attitude was expressed during checkout as well. Perhaps the attitude towards servicing foreigners have reached the breakpoint.

I can accept the higher prices given the area but the below average food and service makes this restaurant to avoid if possible. I would not recommend eating at...

As we like to say, this is a classic tourist trap. The restaurant has absolutely none of the charm shown in the photos. Even the German background music doesn’t help the atmosphere. The staff is uninterested and indifferent. The food clearly came straight from the microwave — it was ready instantly and tasted like it had been sitting there for days.

We tried several options from the menu, but honestly, we’ve never eaten this badly before. Even the people around us were eating with obvious reluctance. It was so bad, it actually became funny.

Walk a few blocks around Hakodate and find a small local restaurant where you van see the cook actually cooking— you’ll get far better value...

Definately has a more western or European vibe as it is a beer hall - staff are courteous and very polite. A lot of food options such as steak, sausages, sashimi, or even nabe! I ordered the premium Hokkaido steak - came on a hot plate over a bed of cabbage, with a side of rice and their in house brewed premium beer. Steak was delicious! Extremely flavourful, tender with the right amount of texture, cooked just right considering how thin the Japanese style steak was. The cabbage was sweet and like the steak it was seasoned just right. The beer - it was good, light but very pallettable. Not a bad place to go if looking for some beer, pub food or something less...
