Step inside
Festhalle und Biergarten.
Founded by brothers Benjamin and Matthew Widmyer, with their father, Steve Widmyer. Inspired by their years playing American football in Germany, they brought the food, the bier and the warmth of Bavaria home to Coeur d'Alene.

Our guests
Don't take our word for it.
"Walking into this place feels a little bit like Germany." A few words from the people at the next table.
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!
