Beer & Brats At the Biergarten

Lebron and I enjoyed this Unilocal event.
The huge pretzel was perfectly cooked. It was rare for something so big to have maintained it’s quality. I got the beerwurst which had great porky flavor and meshed well with the red cabbage.
Another great Unilocal event… but that was expected.

Thanks Heli and Glassboot Biergarten for hosting such a chill event.
There was live music (yay for covering Britney Spears: x !) and the food was very fresh. I never got my order but I came with a large group so thankfully I was able to try everything. :) The bartender suggested the andouille wurst and he was spot on! That was delicious. It was easily the best wurst there. I liked the German potato salad but preferred the mustard one because I liked the creaminess.
The cocktails were nicely strong. I ordered the cucumber one and it was refreshing.
Overall I had a great time and was really amused by the beer lamp Albert won. Thanks again for a lovely evening. I can’t wait to return so I can try the pretzels everyone was raving about.
P.S.
Paul H and I arrived a bit late so parking was a challenge (I didn’t know Slip Inn closed down– remove the «Slip Inn parking only» signs please so people know it’s ok to park there!)

Heli and her team did it again y’all! Great location, fun vibe, yummy food, and of course… there was beer. :)
The weather turned out to be perfect and made for an awesome night out on the patio. I went into the event thinking we would be sampling a few items, totally content with that, and was pleasantly surprised to see we were each given a full brat sandwich with a side ! I got the spicy brat and it was delicious! The potato salad was also very yummy! My favorite item, however, was the giant soft pretzel and the PERFECT hot mustard on the side. I could have eaten a giant pretzel on my own and it still wouldn’t have been enough.
It was great seeing a big turnout of fellow Elite Unilocalers and looked like everyone was really enjoying themselves. The icing on the cake was the live music (although a bit too much swearing and reminders to tip… c’mon friend, we’re Elite, we know what’s up!). Also, I was introduced to a new game where you try to get the ring on the hook, so much fun!
The owners were very kind to all of us and seemed to really care about making everything great for the event.
Thanks again for all the hard work and for creating such a fun night for all of us Heli! Until next time, SYOY!

Another great event put on my Heli and crew — thank you! The weather turned out great and we were able to enjoy the large (& awesome) patio! Plenty of seats and for being picnic table style — they were pretty comfy. In fact I may go on the search to find something similiar for my own yard!
I didn’t personally try the brats (not really my thing), but the peeps in my group tried the andouille and the bierbrats. I got the sense they were enjoying them along with the potato salad. I did however induldge on the giant pretzel — arrived to our table warm and we gobbled it right up! The mustard was perfectly spicy and a great compliment to the salty goodness. We enjoyed the cold beers listening to the live music (although could have done without the swearing and constant reminders to tip; we’re not rookies around here, we’re gonig to tip!). We also loved the games scattered throughout the bar like Uno and the ever so popular get the ring on the hook game!
Super nice family and I love supporting local businesses. Good choice Heli and of course great event!

Another fun Unilocal event, thanks Heli and Afomia! Sitting outdoors was great with the cool weather after the rain. When we walked up, we checked in and immediately went to the bar to grab drinks. I was feeling adventurous, so I asked the bartender what type of beer he suggested. After he rattled off a few options, I went with a citrus-​y ale (Franconia…maybe?).
We sat down with some Unilocalers we already knew and chatted amongst ourselves. It did take a while for us to flag someone down to order but once we did and our food arrived… O-​M-​G. The large pretzel was wonderful and so was the butter for dipping. The brats were amazing! I was feeling adventurous still and ordered the German potato salad and it was pretty good too.
This event was definitely a nice midweek gathering and I look forward to more brats in the future.

Another great Unilocal event! Good thing the weather participated ~ they must love Unilocal :) Beer was great and so was the food. Unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to nibble on the pretzel with dipping sauces that everyone else seemed to be enjoying! Darn, I don’t like missing out on good food haha. I ordered the andouille sausage with cabbage and mustard potato salad. I really enjoyed it because it had a lot of flavor with a kick of spice. The cabbage helped balance out the meat and the potato salad was yummy yummy.
The porch is such a great space because it’s HUGE and you can people watch. We enjoyed our time out there chatting, eating our food, and listening to the live music.

Wunderbar!
Just as the rain clouds drifted away, the perfect June patio weather appeared just in time! Elite Unilocalers gathered to enjoy gigantic pretzels, big German (or Texas) beers, and brats.
The staff was beyond welcoming and really made sure that we all had a good time. There’s a good selection of beers on tap, both German and Texan. The only thing that could make it better is Hofbrau Weiss which is my personal favorite. But Hofbrau Original is certainly good as well. I loved the giant pretzels, paired with Dusseldorf mustard and butter sauce. These were incredibly addicting!
Overall, we all enjoyed playing card games on the patio, enjoying a small slice of Germany. Heli did a great job planning, Afomia took great pics, and the staff at Glass Boot was very gracious!

What a fun event at a cute bar. I love outdoor patios for when the weather is awesome. It was good to see everyone. Thanks to Heli and the bar for hosting the event.
Until next time..

Bier… Check.
Wurst… Check
Giant Pretzel (with drawn butter and mustard)… Check
German Potato Salad… Check
Sauerkraut… Check
OK, That’s everything I need.
Seriously though, this was an awesome event. Thanks Heli and Afomia! Nice outdoor picnic area where you could sit and enjoy the delicious food and drink while also mingling with other Unilocal Elite and their +1s. The owner and his family really made this a special event for us with table service and live music. Add to this the backdrop of the most important U.S. Soccer match ever against Germany (of course) in less than 24 hours, and you have a near perfect evening. Parking was plentiful (though would not have been if there was still an operating establishment next door). The service was outstanding. I only had the draft Oktoberfest to drink, and it was very good (well bodied, nice color). The giant pretzel is the kind of appetizer that causes me to lose sleep trying to think up an excuse to go back. It was perfectly executed. The mustard dip was very good, but the drawn butter was a show-​stopper for me. I had the bierwurst, and it had a nice balanced flavor and good snap. Huge miss not serving it on pretzel bread (it was served on a French roll), especially considering how good the pretzel app was. The German potato salad tasted great (good vinegar level), but I would have preferred it served warm. The kraut was also prepared well but I personally like less caraway and a more sauer flavor. It tasted exactly as a heavy caraway sweet kraut should taste, so I can’t knock them on doing something right just because I prefer it another way. I will definitely be back to sample some other wurst and… of course to get another pretzel.

I’ve seen this place as I walked towards Veritas a month or so ago and I was wondering what it was, so glad to finally have the chance to try this place! I love the environment, with the nice breeze flowing throughout the place and the huge assortment of drinks! Haven’t really been to much places that offered «bier drinks» and these were so interesting! I reaaaally liked the one with grapefruit juice! For some reason the bitterness of grapefruit and the bitterness of beer cancelled each other out, bringing out this delicious grapefruityy beer! I also go to try the one with gin, honey and lemon (something mule) which was really good too! We went in a pretty big group so I got to try their drinks as well. The cucumber cocktail was nice, refreshing and strong but it was a bit too sweet for me. The cucumber bier drink was a better, it was a very refreshing beer! The bloody mary was a lil too sweet/​salty for me, I’m more of a fan of spicy thick tangy but it wasn’t bad!
Now for food, we started off with the giant pretzel. The pretzel was great, it was soft, fluffy and buttery. Not too crazy about the mustard or the other dip though… but then again I am more of an Auntie Anne’s kinda pretzel girl (love the sour cream & onion!) lol then we had the chance to turn in our drink tickets to try out their wursts! I got to try one of each, the beerwurst, the andouille and the knackwurst. The beerwurst was okay, it was soft but not so flavorful. The knackwurst was like a very very good hotdog. My favorite was the andoille, it had awesome texture and it was sooo full of flavor! The sauerkraut was a great addition to it as it balanced the saltiness and the bread was good too. The mustard potato salad was pretty good but I liked the german potato salad much much more! it had bacon and it wasn’t really creamy, it was more savory!
Overall, what a great event! Thank you for setting this up, I’ll be back for more of those grapefruit beers!!!

Thanks Heli for a fun event! :) My hubby and I really enjoyed ourselves!
First off, the location was perfect. It was easy to find and parking was not difficult. However, I could see it being a little more difficult on a Friday or Saturday night. The patio was spacious and very open. I loved being able to sit outside and people watch while drinking a beer. We had the Lakewood Temptress, a bloody Mary and the cobbler cocktail. My favorite was the cobbler!
As for the food, I was expecting samples, not full meals! We both ordered the beer bratwurst. I had red cabbage on mine and my hubby had sauerkraut. Both were delicious. They came with potato salad. My favorite was the german potato salad. Our waitress told me that her favorite was the German, and her recommendation was spot on. I loved the pieces of bacon. The pretzel with the spicy mustard was my favorite, though.
All in all, this is a cool laid back joint. I would definitely come back here again for a drink and/​or dinner!

There is a dearth of German restaurants in Dallas. Kudos for the Glass Boot for filling a void. Lately, it seems like every new place opening in Dallas is a pizzeria or a taco place. The Glass Boot is something a bit different and novel, a welcome addition to the east end of «Henderson Row.»
The «garten» is tucked back from the the strip, next to the now closed Slip Inn, and a nice place to relax just off the beaten path. I’d either stop in before the madness of the Beauty Bar or seek refuge here after the noise and press of the bars up the road. The patio is a very chill place.
German fare on the menu. The brats and knackwurst are delicious and filling. Not house made, but the owners have plans to begin doing their own soon. They source their sausages from a premium supplier out of Tulsa (I forget the name, now). Regardless of their origin, they are fresh and hearty. You won’t find them at any other place down Henderson, so if you have your mouth set on a good brat, this is the place.
Two standouts are the sauerkraut and the German potato salad. Their kraut is not the vinegary, ropey stuff you’ve had before. It is tender and sweet. Delicious. The German potato salad was really lovely. Bacon and mustard. Warm. Quite good.
The pretzels are huge! They have a nice chewy crust with a soft center. They’re a great pre– or post evening out snack. They are served with melted butter and dijon mustard. No beer cheese. Boo.
A few oddities spring out. Bavarian nachos? Har. Har. The cocktail, «The Bavarian Cobbler» is an interesting concoction, though the fruit garnish sweetens it over time until it becomes too cloying to drink. So don’t dawdle on that one.
Star rating is a tough call here. I am going 3.5 stars. Not yet a four, but very promising.

First things first. Thanks to Heli and Biergarten for this event.
Little did I know that Biergarten is family owned. The husband, wife and daughter are on the «front line» to ensure customer satisfaction. Food came out promptly though a few orders were missed. Some waited an hour while others waited 10 mins.
The andouille wurst was delicious. I love it when wursts have a «snap» to them when you bite. There is also a pleasant kick of heat in the andouille. The mustard potato salad was also great.
I arrived late and didn’t get a chance to try the giant pretzel. Their cocktails were also yummy.

My first Unilocal event in awhile… and I loved it! The patio is gorgeous, and there was plenty of seating for everyone. It faces the street so you can watch the crowd in Lower Greenville. I’m sure it’s beautiful at night too because they have strings of lights.
The live music was good, and I was very impressed with the service considering how many people they were.
For drinks, I got the Bavarian Cobbler cocktail. It was a little too sweet, but I think you’re supposed to expect a «peach cobbler» type of taste anyway! It was a really cute cocktail.
Their brats were really good! They come on french bread. It wasn’t a pretzel bun like I expected, but it was still delicious. You can’t go wrong with french bread.
Their potato salads are homemade, and although they’re both really good, I preferred the mustard potato salad because it has that kick to it.
I’m so glad I came because it gave me a really good impression of Glass Boot Biergarten, and I definitely want to come back again.

My first Unilocal event, how exciting! Not going to lie, was not sure if I was going to make it due to the heavy rain in my area, but I toughed it out and am so glad I did. Firstly, it was awesome to finally meet Heli! Thank you for such an awesome event and letting me be a part of it. Also a shoutout to Afomia! What a great addition to the Unilocal community, she came and made the time to sit with us and chat with us for a while!
We were the first ones here for the Unilocal event, and when we sat at the bar, and glanced at the menu… I was a little sad that they had mainly beers and did not cater to people who liked cocktails too! I DO understand this is a «biergarten» and that it also has German style foods and beverages. However, I do like when places cater to everyone. I decided to start off with the grapefruit + bier… and it was actually very good for my taste. I do love grapefruit so do make sure you like the taste of grapefruit before getting this. My friend got a berlin mule, which I did not care for. I also noticed that someone else had ordered the drink but did not have the special mule mug like my friend did. Maybe I am a drink snob, but I love getting moscow mules because of the mug, so please be consistent on the glasses/​mugs/​cups you have for the given drinks.
We then got a HUGE pretzel, it was seriously the size of 2 of my faces, haha. It was delicious!!! So soft, nicely salted, and it came with a side of mustard and butter. I loved the mustard and kept using that with my pretzel… perfect combo!
As far as the brats go, we tried one of each that they were offering. The most spicy one they said they have was not that spicy. Maybe a slight kick to it but not that much. The other two were kind of on the sweet size, I did not love the taste of it. toppings were good, we had asked for the toppings on the side, but no big deal. The potato salad, was good, although I am normally not a big potato eater.
I would come back here to enjoy a sports game and enjoy a draft if I am in the mood they do have an amazing patio area!
The owners are so pleasant, we got to meet the husband, Blake. and he made a point to say bye to us before we left, and I can always appreciate good customer service!

I think this event was good, but needed some tweaks to make it stellar (for me). While I enjoyed my time there and VERY MUCH APPRECIATE Heli/​Afomia/​owners for having us. I have to give my 2 cents. I know we don’t live in a perfect world but feedback is very important and only helps us to be better.
–Sauerkraut was on the dry side, tasted canned.
–Waitress (daughter), as nice as can be — was confused on what was being offered and struggled with the menu. I think she was overwhelmed and could use a little more training (sorry!).
–Their version of a Moscow mule was not to my liking.
–I couldn’t hear the announcements from Heli and owners. (what they say is important to me)
I hope my opinion doesn’t come off the wrong way. The owner (wife) said she wanted to hear everything — good or bad. With some careful adjustments, they could be a happening place.
What I loved?
–Spicy Brat– YUM! (full meal and side?!! — I was only expecting a sample)
–Patio
–Beers
–Cucumber drink (can’t recall) was the bomb
–Pretzel — how can I fault that?
–Owners (husband/​wife team) — they really care and it showed!
–Playing UNO with a group of Unilocalers
Don’t hate me cause I gave 3 stars. :(

Thanks Heli and Unilocal for another fun event. As usual, I came with my homies-​Sue B. and Peter Ho. This time, we brought Lebron with us. I met up with some other people too, and we all had a blast.
The drinks were yummy and refreshing. I’m not a huge fan of German food, but I have to say their bratwursts were really good and meaty. The andouille was definitely the best one. The German potato salad was pretty yummy, and I really liked the bacon on it. The humongous pretzel was surprisingly fluffy and moist.
Awesome live music!
I like how this is a family owned business. I really hope people recognize the hard work, and passion the family put into this bar. It’s not easy, bro.
It was a great night catching up with my friends and other Unilocalers. Thanks Unilocal for bringing us together.

Yay a German food place! Willkommen zu Glass Boot!
The pretzel was gigantic and very warm and soft. I couldn’t believe we could order from the menu either. A nice portion of wurst, red cabbage and potato salad, uh yes! Weisswurst wasn’t an option tonight but I’ll definitely use my coupon when I come back again to get one. Thank you for having vegan options as well! I brought my «sis in-​law» who got the vegan wurst and potato salad so I’m very grateful they were so accommodating.
I wish it wasn’t so humid but I still had an awesome time mingling and making new friends on their patio while listening to live music. Thanks Heli and Glass Boot for making it all happen!

Another great event Heli. I wasn’t sure what to expect but I like brats and beer and I really like this place. This was a great place just to chill out on the patio with fellow Unilocalers. Plenty of beer choices a very gracious owner. I will definitely be back.

A new local hot spot!
Opened in march, where was I ?
Diane and her family have found what Dallas has been lacking. German fare!
Great beer selection and a full bar to boot. (pun intended)
There is a giant pretzel that could feed a family of six. And the brats are big enough for two. Communal drinking and dining just like in the mother country!
Staff are friendly and always happy to serve. Can’t wait to celebrate Oktoberfest here.
Looking for a new alternative to the usual? Check this place out. You may enjoy something new and different here.
Great job guys. We will be back.
Heli and the Unilocal family out did themselves again! This summer is shaping up to be spectacular ! New and old Unilocalers were out and about. Beautiful weather!
