Unsere Geschichte
From the gridiron to the biergarten.
Bavarian tradition meets American football spirit, in the heart of Coeur d'Alene.
Our story
Born from years in Bavaria.
Bier Haus was founded by two brothers, Benjamin and Matthew Widmyer, along with their father, Steve Widmyer.
Playing American football in Germany, the brothers came to love the traditions and hearty dishes of Bavaria. The game led them into the local culture, the Bavarian way of life and lifelong friendships.
Back home in Coeur d'Alene, they built a place that honors that time: an authentic German and Bavarian restaurant with the region's signature flavors, from sausages and pretzels to spaetzle and schnitzel, and Germany's bier culture on tap.
Step inside and you'll find memorabilia from the brothers' football days among the Bavarian pieces, and a staff that's happy to share the stories and point you to the right plate. Gather inside or out in the biergarten, raise a stein, and stay a while.
Prost!

This place is the real deal. Not overly Americanized, fair prices and large portions. The inside is very warm and inviting. Everything is house made, down to their mustard options. Prost!
gcleff11Started off with a draft Weihenstephaner Original. Had the Schnitzel with Sauerkraut and Käsespätzle, finished off with Apple Strudel. Worth a stop just for the draft German beers.
OregonOpusWe had a very large party (11 people!!) that walked in with no reservation and our amazing server Brent was quick with everything we needed. The best service I've had at any restaurant in a long time!
Michelle LyeThe food was amazing and our server was great and kind! I can't wait for summer to eat on their cool back patio! The pretzel was amazing.
Nicole ThomasSince I'm not good at knowing my beers, asked if they can do samples before I commit, and they do: little shots to let you make a good choice. Had the wurst plate. Especially good: the different mustards to choose from.
ALLSLCArrive with a huge appetite as they serve large, delicious portions. Definitely recommend the Schnitzel, the German potato salad and the sauerkraut.
McanultycThe restaurant is family-friendly. I highly recommend you try their Munich Mule! The pretzel was super soft and the cheese dip creamy.
BerndtbunchI finally found a tasty German potato salad! No reservation needed. We walked in and were seated right away and sat inside by the window.
Nelida SafritThe food is excellent. The pretzel is one of the best. No matter what I have tried, it's always so good!
