About The Bavarian Chermside

The Bavarian Chermside delivers hearty German feasts and full-litre beer steins with unpretentious beer-hall energy.

Regulars drop in for generous pours at happy hour or round up big groups for birthdays—celebrated with house schnapps on a wooden paddle, ringing bells, and sparklers. Lunch specials like the pork crackle gravy roll keep things easy during the week, while towering meat platters and cold draft brews anchor long, lively catchups.
