Stein Haus Brau & Brats

The drinks on the menu that were created through bar rescue were really good. The prices for drinks were good, and the staff was friendly.

I recently went to this place. My wife and I were hoping to have a night out. We walked in and stood standing for 15 minutes waiting to be greeted, seated, and served. We grew tired of standing, so we seated ourselves. We then waited patiently for an hour. The place barely had 10 people in one party total that had there food and beverages before we had even got there. I myself had the hopes of enjoying there German beer, and food; but I left saddened and dismayed. I received better service from a street taco cart down the street. Avoid this place if you have hopes of being waited on.

This bar has the most unappealing exterior of any bar I’ve ever been to. The color of the building, the pot holed parking lot, just not attractive. With an average beer selection and small menu, two stars tops.

This is one of our fave spots in the area. The atmosphere is cool, the food is delicious, and the beer comes in many varieties, including several German beers you don’t see in many other places. When the bar was remodeled, it seemed to have kept the divey prices and chill atmosphere, but got a major upgrade in everything else.
We tried to come here once when it was Friar Tuck’s. A punk band was playing and we didn’t go in because of the $ 10 cover, but it looked dirty and divey (which I love sometimes). Apparently, this bar appeared on Bar Rescue, although I never saw the episode, and got a major overhaul. It feels like being in a dark castle, but cleaner and modernized, if that makes any sense at all.
If you buy an extra large, glass stein for $ 16, you can bring it back any time and get it filled with any beer for $ 8. Eight dollars! We each have one now because it’s such a steal. It holds at least 3 pints of beer, and usually we’re more than good for the night with one refill each. Plus, they just look awesome.
We also come here because the food is DELICIOUS and inexpensive. I usually don’t expect much for bar food, besides frozen, fried, boring things, but this food is fantastic.
Pretzel Bites — These are incredible and so is the dipping sauce. And around $ 6. We always inhale a bucket of these before the rest of our food comes out. A must-​try.
Sausage and Cheese Sampler — This is another one of my favorites to order. It’s around $ 14 and you get to pick any 4 sausages you like off the menu, served on a platter with cheese, crackers, and dipping sauces. It was more than enough food for both of us.
Bratwurst — Delicious! I loved the mustard, caramelized onions, and slaw. High quality.
I’ve probably had more food here, but don’t remember because we keep going back to the faves. They had some incredible corned beef and cabbage for St. Patty’s Day a special, too. Most of the time we’re here, it’s because we decide on a spontaneous nightcap and swing by home to grab our stein first.
There is usually live music at night, there are lots of pool tables, and a chill outdoor patio. The bartenders have always been very friendly and laid back (Raquel on Wednesday nights is awesome!)

It’s a decent dive bar if you’re hungry for bar food and beers. It’s not a terrible place but the outside is dark and uninviting and dangerous. The neighborhood isn’t great either. It’s ok. I probably won’t be back. Good luck !

Go see Sammy! Excellent service and makes a hell of a Schnitzel plate! Great beers and live music! Definitely check this gem out!

They have dodgers so that’s a plus! It is intimidating from the outside to come in and once u walk in everyone stares at u haha so keep your sunglasses on until u sit down. The bar tender is sweet. The owner walked by us numerous times and never acknowledged us. Still a dive bar. but at least the pai. t is new lol. 4 stars because of the bar tender.

After a hard day of moving awkwardly shaped furniture intended to be moved by more than one person, what better way to unwind that with a braut and brew?
Ambience was… Interesting. I love dive bars, but there isn’t any reason for the whole place to smell intensely of must and cigarettes. When we walked in a dad rock band was about to go on, needless to say, I’m bummed we missed that.
Service… The bar tender knew we existed but wasn’t all the interested in talking to us, but we certainly weren’t neglected.
Food! The braut was delicious! Skipped the kraut but everything else was great, especially the caramelized onions. The slaw was on the sweet side and lightened up the plate, which was appreciated.
Beer! The most important part after a long day of moving! It was cheap, selection of domestic craft brews was limited but there were quite a few German beers I’d never tried. They were all sub $ 6, not bad.
If I’m at my friends house and want cheap decent grub within walking distance, I may be tempted to return. Two of us got out under $ 30.
Four stars for food, plus one for price, minus one for intense must and smoke, neutral for service.

5 STARS… I like the new look of this place and for me this is definitely a great bar with some unique bar food options. But you don’t come here specifically for food! This is a chill place to be with friends. I kind of miss the drum and bass night however! Bring the Church back? But no worry! There is a jukebox so you can play whatever music you want and its pretty updated. This place seems laid back and has pool tables! A bunch of them… and I heard pool table tournaments as well???
But anyway, cool spot with divey prices… its not really dive anymore… also the smoking patio is pretty relaxed so I liked that. When you had a couple of beers the brats will hit the spot.
I’m not picky about food like some Unilocalers… If the atmosphere is relaxed, and the drinks are cheap… well that is a winning combination. And I still thought the food was pretty delicious so there you go. It definitely has a uniqueness to it that Pomona doesn’t have elsewhere. So mission accomplished! Will come back for more!

Nice place, my first time in there was great. I tried both kinds of Hefeweizen and had an awesome plate of nachos. A live band geared up on there little stage as I ate my nachos and first beer. They started playing and I was impressed how good the show was. I’m very hard to impress with a concert because I work at concert venues onstage all over LA. The bar tender was overworked but still managed to keep everyone happy including me. He had good knowledge of the beers and food. Good beer, good food, good service, pool tables and an atmosphere I loved.
Over all as you see 5 stars from me. I’ll be back when in town again.

Great place! Good food & drink with a friendly, casual atmosphere. Love the spetzle! Fair prices too! I will definitely be back!

Ivan stein ftw! That idiot who said it was bitter does not have taste buds that function properly! And only in america is Stein related to beer in GERMAN it means stone so yeah! Love the staff though I miss No Giggity Mondays!

My husband and I visited this bar recently on bar rescue! I’m going to say it’s kind of scary from the outside, especially late at night! But it’s actually quiet cozy inside! Holly was the bartender and she was extremely attentive! Our drinks were never empty and she was really willing to make us happy! There was a fruit fly in my husband’s beer (gross) but we totally understand and Holly replaced his beer immediately!

I came here because of Bar Rescue. I saw how Jon Taffer fixed this place up. The inside is pretty nice. The food and drinks itself are mediocre. I got the bratwurst, which was their signature dish on the show and it wasn’t that great. The caramelized onions were the best part. I got the Ivan Stein, which tasted like nasty bitter medicine. The German Coffee was good though!

This place has a great look inside and out. The food is decent, but could use some more flavor. This place has a big bar and some pool tables. Its a great place to hang out and play pool and have some drinks. The bartender was kind and very attentive, and the feel of the place is comfortable and welcoming. Will be back!

Great changed compared to before. Food and drinks are great! And the feeling is authentic and the manager owner and staff are amazing people! Great atmosphere and I recommend everyone to visit!

Their German Hefeweizen was superb, and we don’t say that lightly because we spent 5 years in Germany, very few hefs served in the US come close. I had the club sandwich it was tasty, could have used more
Mustard, and the fries were
Good too. Husband had the bratwurst he loved it. Didn’t exactly taste German, but the wurst, the bun, and the mustard were definitely quality stuff. The Diet Coke tastes off, maybe it was Pepsi? If it’s Pepsi they should let people know Service was good, music on the juke box was good, and apparently they have Franziskanner and Spaten also. As good German beer is hard to find in bars we will DEFINITELY be going back. The place looks 150x better since the rescue!

First time I had been since the makeover… much better! Food looked good and next time I will plan to eat there. Staff was friendly along with the small crowd. It was Saturday night before 9pm, so pretty quiet. I really liked the décor… dark wood tables and chairs.
Good job!!!

Some of the most authentic and tasty german food ive had. I ate a double decker Becker and my brother ate a pork schnitzel sandwhich. We have not devoured food that fast in a very long time. The craft cocktails were also really good. The phrost manahatten was stellar and the german lager was perfectly paired with the sandwhich i had.

Left here thinking, «Welp, guess I’m never coming back here unless to see if they’re people inside.» Female bartender less then friendly, didn’t get a chance to look at the bar/​app flyer, didn’t get informed about any promoted drinks. Sad to say the problem with this place is regulars and staff, because this place wants to be awesome and packed, but as I said before it didn’t seem inviting. Also didn’t like that the bartender wanted to close our tab right after she barely finished pouring our beers, made us not want to order another beer or food.
