Went for the first time to the new place. It was a bit busy for a Tuesday night, but once the bartender got to me he was Johnny on the Spot with the food and beer. I am a vegetarian and this place had plenty of good appetizers, salads, and entrees. The space seemed to get a bit cramped... I can’t imagine the place on a Friday, but I had a blast. They had Pays de Soliel, 090909, Imperial Pumpkin, 2 Brooklyn Brewmaster beers, and CCB Jai Alai on tap among German Oktoberfests, Bell’s Oktoberfest, Brooklyn Oktoberfest, and Aventinus. The have to-goo bottles that are a bit expensive, but the food is outstanding. With their kitchen in mind, they may edge out OTH and Brass Tap as the best beer spot in Tampa.

Visited on a Saturday afternoon in October. Very nice selection of on tap and bottles. Server was knowledgeable and helpful. Proper glassware utilized and beer was appropriate temp. Food was very German with a wide selection of entrees and sandwiches. Good value for food and beer. Moderate selection of bombers and 12 oz bottes for retail sale; however these did seem to be somewhat overpriced. I hope to return in the future.

Come on people! This is THE place for beer in the entire area! How can you rate Dunderbak’s lower than Mellow Mushroom for Christ sake! Great food! Great beer selection. Where else are you going to find Saison Athene on draft! No where. The national award winning TBBEERS homebrew club calls this place home. Maybe the no fruit in your beer rule frightened all you little girly men! JB is the man and Mr. Dunderbak’s has no equal!

So glad this place moved out of the hallway spot in that crappy university mall. The new place is awesome. You can move around! 2 bars and a "beer" room so to speak where you can sit at long tables and just drink hofbrauhaus style. Always a great tap list and tons of bottles to go. Staff is for the most part beer knowledgeable. They host our local homebrew club meetings. Food is excellent and authentic german foods an great deli sandwiches. Parking will be bad on a busy night. But overall, excelent place to eat and drink.

I used to like going to this place a lot as a kid when it was in University Square Mall. Now it’s about 2 min. from my house and I like it even better. Themed like a German Biergarten, really cool atmosphere to have a beer. I’m not sure I could go every night the German music would probably drive me nuts. Food is good and reasonably authentic and a good value. This is the type of place you need time to explore. In the back are deli-cases and assorted European chocolates and cookies. They also have a pretty nice bar with real decent selection of taps and coolers with assorted bottles, they even have a Randall which I was told they hook up on the weekends. Theres a section of the place (2 whole walls actually) that have beers you can buy and take home. Beer was good, food was good, music sucked. I’ll be back.

Went on a Sunday at the new location on Bruce B Downs. Waited....Waited...Waited for service. First beer I ordered they were out of, but took 15 min to find that out. Server was confused and allowed me to order 2 more beers they didn’t have. Food was so-so. Plenty of selection if its actually there. My wife swears it used to be awesome when they were located in the mall.

Bruce Downs, new location. This German style biergraden has tables to hang out, more formal tables, a lttle bar and private traditional room, and just a long bar. I, of course, was at the latter. There were 25 something taps, with a pretty good variety of micros and imports, including something Austrian, Granite Bock that was very interesting an unknown by the staff. A few bartenders, a Sunday aft, and everyone was getting aclimitized to the new location. Strip mall location, 1.5 hours from Orlando. A couple of hundred bottles, including a couple dozen for takeout though at high retail prices.

Awesome. Wasn’t expecting much since it is in a shopping mall, but I was pleasantly surprised. Neat place with good beer selection and knowledgeable staff.

Wow, very long narrow space with bar seating to the right and tables, cold storage deli meats and cheeses to the left. Worn in place with plenty of character along with a big top circus tarp thingy dressing up the ceiling. Although I keep hearing comments that they are relocating away from here. That’s big, they’ve been here forever. This place has one of the best tap selections in Florida with a lot of cool craft brews and numerous German offerings. I wish I lived close enough to drop by more than once or twice a year.
