Showed up to a sign saying the kitchen was closed until further notice at 530pm. It's not posted anywhere except in their entrance. Pretty disappointing. Drove from north of Palmer just for dinner here. Would love to have given it a try.

Great little bar with a wonderful deck to sit out on and enjoy a few drinks. The bartenders are always super friendly and quick. Definitely recommend

The building had a very rustic with a hand-crafted feel and dim lighting. We sat inside, but there was nice patio seating available as well, with a great view. Our only complaint about this place was the lack of food. And the fact the server/bartender seemed to forget I asked for a water before his shift finished.
One of the other reviews shared a much more extensive menu, but when we went, there were only 3 meal options. My husband and our friend both had the bratwurst dinner: a bratwurst on a bun with potato salad and sweet kraut. They were out of the beer cheese meant to pair with the soft pretzel, so I went for the picnic meal: a German charcuterie of Swiss cheese, summer sausage, Braunschweiger, a pickle, peanuts, kraut, potato salad, and a small bread loaf. Everything was palatable, but I did want more kraut and potato salad than I received.
The beer pours were generous. I had the (very refreshing) cider, a grapefruit beer, and the closest thing they had to a dunkelweizen. The grapefruit beer was my favorite.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Brigitte H.MEADOW LAKE, AK01Jul 14, 2023
Great place to have a good time any time! Single, couple, or a group of friends - all find a great setting to enjoy their visit to the Schwabenhof. Plenty of parking, views all the way to the Knik glacier, music , some food, all contribute to the good times anytime.

We stopped in thinking it was a restaurant based off Yelp but it is not. It's a bar. Great beer, there is only 3 items on the food menu so we were a bit disappointed. However, really nice bartender and the pretzel was good. Beer was good and the views were great. Just FYI it is not a restaurant!

The staff is not very welcoming. We felt kind of awkward, seems like a hangout for the owners friends. There was a bartender that wasn't experienced at making drinks. I asked for a Bloody Mary and it tasted like tomato juice with vodka. No seasoning...or was gross. My husband asked for a drink off their menu and he had no clue how to make it.

Best German bar in Alaska just got better. Can't wait to try the new menu. It looks great, smoked meat is always an Alaskan favorite. Amazing views of the mountain range and lots of live music.
