You know a restaurant is bad when they can't even manage to make decent pretzels. Stay away.

Very good plaice...I liked the atmosphere and style, is a bit weird though, it's not the kind of service that someone would expect, but it was lovely German experience. I would recommend it!!

Had our works christmas meal at the Bavarian beer house, Old street. Booked and paid a deposit in advance. Absolutely disgusted when the final bill came with a 12 1/2% service charge on it, (approx £4.00 per head). It was a till generated bill and the service charge had been added on in pen. I questioned this and was told it shouldnt have been written on in pen and was optional, however as it was so busy in there and we were being hurried out for the evening sitting, we left it at that and wont be going back. Ordinarily we dont have a problem with tipping, but i dont like being forced into a tip!!!!!

This place is absolutely terrible. it's possibly the worst 'restaurant' I have ever been, it's just beyond tacky. Let alone that tables and benches are uncomfortable, the place is filled to the rafters with 'team parties' (including ourselves), it's so full it's loud and it's difficult to speak. The 'welcome drink' is a foul 'champagne' or a shot of jagermeister. The Pretzels would have been decent the day before; the sausages were simply not good, including one that had cheese oozing out of it. The sauerkraut were maybe the only edible thing, while the schnitzel was an unidentified meat (pork? chicken?) dry and stodgy, the meatballs also unidentified and the mushroom sauce a watery blob. Awful on all levels.

Being an absolute German food and beer lover - I don't think I have ever been so disappointed with our visit to the Tower Hill restaurant. Seriously how hard is it to serve decent German food. Our table ordered Sausage, Schnitzel, Chicken and the Pork Shank and Gulasch Soup. Everything was deep fried and very bland and dry. Atmosphere was a very loud TV playing a game, service was very poor (had to beg to get served and took over an hour to get our meals - with half of the table finishing theirs before the others got theirs).

One good point - the beer! Proper German beer which was lovely! but then you can get some good German beer in other pubs in London - so they have even lost that as their point of differentiation.

A friend and I visited on a Groupon on a Monday evening at 7pm so it was not very busy, no music and ample service.

My food the Pork, was the most dreadful meal I have ever been served. The Bones of the Pork were bleached white and dry, an obvious sign of frozen meat. It had been reheated to the extent that the meat was completely dried out like parchment and the skin so dry that it was like stone.

On complaining, the staff admitted this was the case

They offered a free beer as compensation but this cannot overcome my disappointment and I will never go again or recommend the place . It may be reasonable on other days of the week, but not a Monday.

If they knowingly serve such bad food to customers they should not be in busines.

The beer was OK

I visited this place few days ago and had a really good time. I'm a fan of good beer and tasty food and I found both here.

For a starter I would recommend 'Obazda' which is a mix of different cheeses with freshly baked Pretzel. For the main course, we ordered few different dishes to see which one was best and my favourite one was the white sausage with sweet mustard (goes very well together!) and roasted pork shank with bread dumplings and sauerkraut.. yum! I've also tasted their roasted chicken, it was OK but not as amazing as the other dishes.

All meals were pretty big and good value for money; we order beers in steins to go with them and it reminded me of a great atmosphere of the Munich beer festival.

On the top, the place seemed clean and staff were quite friendly - I'll be definitely back for more tasty food and great atmosphere!
