Die Bierstube is Roosevelt’s August Business of the Month! Each month, we highlight a business in our community to help promote thriving small businesses in our area.
I recently had the good fortune to sit down and chat with Die Bierstube’s manager, Keith Lovik. Keith joined the Die Bierstube team about two years ago as a bartender. After six months, he accepted the position of manager, envisioning the transformation of a lively community watering hole into a family-friendly pub with delicious German food and great German beer. (Note that due to licensing restrictions, those younger than 21 are allowed until 9:00 p.m.)
Die Bierstube has many long-time customers, who really should be called long-time friends. Many have been coming for their fix of German beer and camaraderie since it opened in 2004, including their current head chef, James.
We’re lucky that they are being recognized now, because there are two upcoming events you won’t want to miss: On September 7, Die Bierstube will celebrate its 20th anniversary with an all-day event, including special menu items that are updated versions of old favorites. On October 4-5, they will celebrate….you guessed it…Oktoberfest! It’ll be a “raucous” (but also family-friendly) time, with staff dressed in traditional German garb and a few unique menu items added just for the occasion.
Roosevelt community members have been rediscovering this gem. Here are just a few recent quotes from our very own RNA Facebook page:
“Really fantastic brunch at Die Bierstube.”
“It feels very European.”
“Die Bierstube is terrific! It’s a great little place!”

When you go, don’t forget to see if they have a table available in their outdoor (but covered) Biergarten!
