Ballhaus Watzke

"perfect place to go during spring. lovely biergarten restaurant at dresden and you get perfect view of sunset by the river. found my most favourite German cuisine steak au four!

all the beers are fresh and good."

"We were here as park of our European beer tour guide, and if you don’t speak German, you may have some difficulty to order your beer and food, because the staffs here don’t speak English. Google translate becomes the helper.

The beer was very good. The food is very average at best! The sausage dish we ordered was not good at all!

Service was also very slow. But the atmosphere was nice."

"An interesting experience, we originally planned to go to Burger King, and since the parking lot we found was next to it, we assumed it belonged to Burger King. However, after parking, we realized we couldn’t exit, only to find out that the parking actually belonged to Ballhaus Watzke.

I went inside and explained that we had mistakenly parked there, asking if they could open the gate so we could leave. I even mentioned that it was an honest mistake, but they insisted that we had to pay €5 to exit. The only way to avoid the fee was to place an order at their restaurant.

I rated this place 2 stars due to the parking issue. They should have allowed us to leave, as most parking areas do, without charging a fee for a brief mistake. I wish I had discovered this restaurant under different circumstances, rather than feeling forced into dining there.

Additionally, the staff was not friendly, no smiles, no extra effort to guide us, especially since I don’t have much experience with German food. A little hospitality would have made the experience much better."
