The German Club

For a rollicking good night in an old-fashioned community setting, the German Club, one of Brisbane’s best longtime institutions, is the place to go.

Here you can enjoy authentic hearty fare in a retro beer hall setting with lederhosen-clad entertainment. 

Mains include traditional German fare like Pork Knuckle, Schnitzels (chicken or pork), Knackurst and Cheese Kransky as well as a mega Tasting Platter, including schnitzel, cheese kransky and pork belly, served with saurkraut, fried potatatoes and pretzel.

The club is child friendly offering $10 children's meals of chicken schnitzel, battered fish or frankfurter sausage served with hot chips. 

The long banquet style tables with loads of space around them, make it a great place for families and groups and once the live music starts (everything from German classics to Lady Gaga), the dance floor becomes a major child magnet.

It's also a magnet for 20 something hipsters who like to dress up as if it's Oktoberfest -, and it's this - a real cross-section of the community enjoying themselves under one roof - that it is the secret of the club’s charm.
