What People Are Saying About Zum Schneider

Maybe the East Village didn't need a beer garden, but it certainly wanted one. Seat yourself--a squeeze on weekends--grab a handful of sourdough pretzels and choose from a dozen hard-to-find German beers. A varied crowd craves the foamy pilsners and fruity Schneider Weisse wheat beers, but happy hour takes an even happier turn when schnitzel skeptics boldly bite into bratwurst with mustard potato salad, a classic Wiener schnitzel or sweet red cabbage and schweinebraten (delicious roasted pork with a crispy, bacony crust). No drunken sing-alongs here--guests are more mellow and merry than…

Too much work to get a table
by shert
I was lured by the thought of belgium beer, long beer tables, and maybe some outdoor seating, but was sadly disappointed when once there. Seating is hard to come by, people come early and stay all night. And to have a seat you have to buy food. There is nowhere to really stand, so if you're not seated you're kind of in the way of the waiters and other patrons who like you did not get there early enough.
- Pros: Beer
- Cons: Crowded, no seating

Where the beer and boys are...
by MeganInManhattan
The equation to what makes Zum Schneider a great bar for the single girl in Manhattan is quite simple. Boys like beer. Zum has a wide menu of German beers that come in huge glasses. Thus boys go here in droves, so you should too to meet said boys. Zum also creates the perfect social atmosphere to meet new people with their traditional beer-garden style community tables. It's almost like they knew exactly what they were doing all along! I'm not the biggest fan of international beers but I can recognize a good beer list when I see it, especially by the looks of joy on the male clientele's faces as they clink their liter sized glasses together in cheer. So I shall grab my own (half) liter glass and join in the festive fun, indulging in as many Wieners as I can handle. I may come for the boys, but you should probably come for the Bavarian tradition and the beer, which are far more noble reasons.

Great Spot
by TThomas
The best German food I have had since I was in Munich. The white sausage and the Hofbrau beer were excellent. Have been here several times, going during the day is key as it is typically not as crowded which can be an issue since the place is not that large. But overall the waitstaff was very pleasant and the food was excellent.
- Pros: Beer, Food
- Cons: Size
