I present to you....the Bavarian Beerhouse in Bristol!

Lee's favourite beer from Germany! He was very pleased it was available so locally
We started our meal with freshly made pretzels and obazda
Obazda is a delicious mix of Camembert, cream cheese, butter, beer, onions, paprike and caraway seeds - perfect as a dip!
Here are Tristan and Scarlett devouring their warm pretzels
Lee had the Weiner Schnitzel - a breaded pork escalope with chips
I had the KaseSpaetzle - a Bavarian noodle and cheese dish, with a side salad
Tristan and Scarlett shared the Frankfurter sausage meal (with chips instead of the potato salad)
Lee was very happy with his menu choice!

We visited at a nice quiet time so Tristan and Scarlett didn't disturb too many patrons, and they enjoyed dancing to the music on the stage area while waiting for our meals. There is no children's menu, but the Bavarian Beerhouse were very happy to oblige when we asked for the children to share one adult dish.
Our waitress was lovely and welcoming, and quickly offered us a highchair for Scarlett when we arrived. There was another family seated, and it was lovely to see their two children playing with Tristan and Scarlett on the stage before and after our meal.
The food was delicious, and truly reminded us of our time in Munich. The kasespatzle was hot and cheesy, and served in a hot pan just like in Bavaria. The children loved their sausage and chips, and Lee was excited to see his old favourite, the Weiner Schitzel, on the menu.
Lee and I loved the long tables and benches (just like the traditional restaurants, beer gardens, and Oktoberfest beer tents when we were in Munich) and the atmosphere was relaxing. We shall be visiting again soon!
This is a great food venue for families (especially if visiting local attractions AtBristol or Bristol Aquarium as it's merely a 5-minute walk away). There is some on-street parking nearby, but we parked at NCP Millennium Square, and walked through the water features in Millennium Square, over the footbridge waving to the boats, then a diagonal stroll over Queen's Square.
They have offers and promotions running throughout the year, and their current promotion is their "Meat Feast" offer every Tuesday throughout January and February 2014. Every Tuesday until the end of February, you can purchase a pork shank with a stein of beer for £19.90 (a saving of 20% on the usual price). The shank will be served with sauerkraut, gravy and dumplings, and the shank cooked the Bavarian way. For the stein of beer (this is a whopping 2 pints!), customers can choose from a range of popular German and Bavarian beers. You are required to pre-book the "Meat Feast" offer by simply calling 0844 330 2005 or emailing meat-feast@bavarian-beerhouse.co.uk
