Visited last weekend while in the area. Very nice looking building in a very nice area. Inside is very rustic and old looking. Nice area to eat as well as a nice bar. Brewing area is visible through a glass door. I ordered a sampler which had 7 beers in it. The octoberfest was def gone bad or off. The food was quite good. French onion soup and my gf had a open faced roast beef sandwitch witch was very good. Pretty cool place. Average beers.

Pretty typical brewpub. The food and the beer are average to mediocre. Nothing too special. The oatmeal stout is probably their best. Lots of traffic and no parking. It’s worth going to if you’re in the immediate area, but that’s about it.

First thing is this is dark and bit like a cave around the bar (low ceiling). Very comfortable place to hang out. Their beers on tap plus some Macros. Food was average. Ambience isn’t much but it’s a casual place. Bartender was friendly.

Go to Krogh’s and enjoy yourself at all times except heavy traffic times, at which you will find 1/4 mile away parking (which I actually don’t mind, unless I have the baby with me ), and an absolutely nuts to butts bar scene. Great atmosphere, very Bavarian pubish. Very good food : Get the following: the nachos grandes, the rarebit burger or chicken (Their rarebit sauce is an ale and cheddar sauce and it is awesome), any fish special although $$. Service is very good when it’s not busy. And even when it is busy the table service is still very good but the bar is just way to small and crowded. Some good beers, my personal favorites are the oatmeal stout ( ridiculously creamy head) and the alpine red. Good beer store right down the street called White Deer Plaza Liquors. I just scored Founders Breakfast Stout there. Their beer guy is Chad, nice guy and knows his stuff. Overall, Krogh’s is definitely worth a look if around the area but try to get there on a weekday if you can.

Food prices are high for the area (or even for NYC, for that matter)......$13 cheeseburgers and $5 soups are not cool. Beer is nothing special. Place is small and the rest rooms could use a (much needed) update, but the wait staff WAS friendly and helpful. Parking, as everyone mentions is ridiculous, and it gets crowded on the weekends. This is nothing more than a "locals" kind of place that happens to brew their own mediocre beer and makes you scratch your head and wonder why the heck it’s so crowded and noisy. Pass it up unless you’re visiting friends who live in the area.....and even then, if they recommend somewhere else, take their advice.

A really mediocre place overall. Their beer isn’t all that good despite the variety, and the food isn’t anything special. The staff was friendly but didn’t really seem too knowledgeable about any of their food or beer and couldn’t even remember the price of their own beers off the top of their head. The place is surprisingly popular and parking, as has been mentioned before, is a big pain in the rear. Being that it’s in Sparta, prices are a bit steep--be aware of that.

The brewpub is housed in a really neat chalet. Service was solid. After that, things go a bit downhill, as neither Kathy nor I were impressed by our food, and the beers were mediocre.

nice looking place. Have been there before, but not since I’ve been a ratebeer member. Outside of building looks like a really old German or Swiss building, inside like a log cabin. Bartender was very nice and although she didn’t seem to have a very good knowledge of beer, was at least enthusiastic about it. Beers are for the most part below average- haven’t had a good beer yet. The pale ale is drinkable and the oatmeal stout is passable. Food prices are somewhat high. Worth going to, to check out the building and that is really about it.

A very cool looking brewpub adorned with dark wood and rustic flavor. Reminded be of what a medievel pub night look like. Right across the street from Lake Mohawk, its worth a visit for the view alone. The brew was decent, but not outstanding. I tried all the brews they had on tap at the time. The one standout was their oatmeal stout. The Brogden Meadows pale ale and Oktoberfest were decent. Stay away from the rest of them. Not drain pours by any means, but nothing to write home about either. The food was very good, and the service very attentive.
