Trinktisch - Belmont

The food was mediocre and the prices were high. $8 for a 12oz pour of this, $12 for a 14oz pour of that, $10 for an 8oz pour of something else… it’s all on draft, so why not just make things easy and straightforward? This would be OK, but then literally half of my 12oz pour was head, so drinking the equivalent of 1 beer cost me $20. The food was nothing special. We ordered the fries, croquettes, currywurst, bauernwurst, and weisswurst to share. The sausages were all bland with a rubbery over-processed texture, the strongly recommended fries were not “heavily seasoned” (just salt), and the croquettes were OK but again very bland. Honestly, the food I enjoyed the most was the very small cup of sauerkraut that accompanied the sausages. As a finale, they automatically add a 10% service charge to all bills (which they clearly state on the menu), but then when the check comes the choices for tip are 15%/20%/25% and the waitress hovers over you watching, so you’re tipping 25% by default unless you want to feel like a cheapo. I spent $50 and found the whole experience unsatisfying, and I left feeling like I had been exploited and certainly won’t be going back.

There is something nice and family about this place. My 7 and 10 year old grandkids love it, hot dogs and root beer, interesting German type food for grown ups and great big beer selection. It's in a basement, lots of benches and picnic tables. We keep going back.

I'm sorry to hear the news that Trinktish will close for good December 31, 2023. The food is always high-quality and so are the beers and even the local sake is delicious. The upstairs dining room is a little bit loud, but very airy and spacious. If you have a chance, definitely get a table here before they close.

Trinktisch is an enjoyable Beer Food Hall for All with a diverse selection of 30 local and international taps (plus a huge list of bottles and cans), presented in a large meandering space, and serving creative and flavorful Bavarian fare. While I 'm generally not in search of Bavarian cuisine, Trinktisch has fashioned a compelling set of culinary options and attention to ingredient detail, that should tickle almost anyone 's palette. Trinktisch boasts a large main room (with long community tables as well as smaller 2 and 4 tops), several more smaller intimate spaces, and an outdoor space that seats approx 30 people, weather permitting. In terms of the beer offerings, there 's almost nothing in the greater Boston area that parallel 's Trinktisch 's Bavarian authenticity and robust assortment. With taps presented against an iconic stainless steel backsplash, I 'm sure to find several of my personal favorites, Delirium Tremens , and Maine Lunch as well as previously undiscovered brews rarely found elsewhere, including, as of late, Hitachino Nest Yuzu Lager and Gouden Carolus Cuvée van de Keizer Imperial Dark. In short, Trinktisch is place of fermented malt discovery. What distinguishes this space apart from the delightful variety of beers and the engaging management style of owners Suzanne and Kate is its compelling food offerings: Trinktisch kitchen serves up outstanding high quality and innovative Bavarian comfort food, soups and stews, sandwiches, salads, and of course, several hot dog and sausage varieties:. I would highly recommend the House Dog (a Kayem Weiner made from pork and beef), House Frank (100% beef), and the House Wurst (a Schiller Weber pork veal bratwurst), each served on a well executed toasted buttered bun. Try Kate 's smash style burger which locks in caramelization, accompanied by a creamy special comeback sauce, or Kates Deviled Eggs (traditional with a twist as the recipe adds a sprinkle of Old Bay), and especially Kate 's flavorful Mac N Cheese (Cavatappi pasta tossed with a 5 cheese sauce: asiago, cheddar, fontina, parmesan, and Romano, topped with buttered breadcrumbs), not to mention a hearty beef pie, featuring carrot, celery, onion, garlic, a medley of pepper spice, and tomato, topped with creamy mashed potatoes and parmesan cheese. Create your own beer flights, mix and match, and experiment with a variety of flavors and styles. As a bonus, Trinktisch is co located with a craft beer store that carries one of the widest selections in the land. If you enjoy community fun, one can participate in Trivia Night held on Thursdays, or attend other events such as Flight Night , Arts Drafts , live music (need this option more regularly), Industry Night (very occasional and haven 't attended one yet), and educational activities such as a Beer Tasting Workshop. Trinktisch also offers beer/food pairing evenings every couple of months, co sponsored by various regional craft breweries. I attended a couple of these events including a pairing with Maine Beer Co (Freeport ME) and Von Trappe Brewing (Stowe VT). These events are both delightful and informative. Not sure if still there, but one of the many rooms housed a Foosball table and maybe even ping pong. One of my go to places that more people in the greater Boston suburbs need to experience.

I love this place. It's great for hanging out with friends and enjoying a great beer!Kid-friendliness: This place is super kid friendly!
