Mad Anthony’s Bier Stube at 1239 Merchant Street gives Ambridge diners a menu built around German fare alongside American tavern dishes. A group can compare schnitzel and sausage plates with burgers, wraps and salads, rather than assuming everyone needs to order the same kind of meal.
This October 13, 2026 visit guide covers an established business highlighted in Pittsburgh Magazine’s January 5 new-dining roundup. That earlier coverage is background, not a new opening date. The practical details here come from current official pages. We have not personally reviewed the food, tested the service or independently ranked the restaurant.
German dishes have different included accompaniments
The official food menu lists schnitzel at $20, with a choice of pork or chicken. Jaegerschnitzel is $22 and adds a mushroom-and-onion gravy. The German-fare section states that dishes come with applesauce and a choice of German potato salad or spätzle.
Bratwurst, knockwurst and weisswurst are each listed at $18. Their section describes sausage braised in Bitburger beer, served with sauerkraut on a Brötchen roll, applesauce and a side choice. The $30 German Sampler Platter instead combines three sausages with sauerkraut, spätzle, German potato salad and a pretzel stick.
For a smaller start, the Bavarian pretzel is $12 with beer cheese and spicy mustard, while potato pancakes are $14 with applesauce and sour cream. These are published examples checked October 13. Confirm current availability and the actual order before treating a menu snapshot as a fixed offer.
Read the sandwich and side descriptions separately
The menu’s sandwich section says it includes fresh-cut fries, with an onion-ring substitution charge. That is a different accompaniment arrangement from the German-fare section. Compare the full plate rather than assuming the same sides come with every entrée.
Ask staff about ingredients, preparation and substitutions for the dish you select. A familiar food name does not establish how this kitchen prepares it, and a side that sounds vegetable-based should not automatically be treated as vegetarian. Confirm the complete bill, including additions, directly.
Use the current hours and the appropriate enquiry route
The homepage lists Monday–Thursday hours of 11 a.m.–11 p.m., Friday–Saturday of 11 a.m.–midnight and Sunday of 11 a.m.–10 p.m. Contact 724-385-0100 or jill@madanthonysbierstube.com. Confirm kitchen service times when planning a late meal; venue closing time alone does not establish the final food order.
The site links a separate online-ordering service for pickup or delivery and a groups and private-party enquiry. A large gathering should use the event route to discuss the date, head count, space and menu rather than assuming an ordinary food order reserves seating.
For an event, request the complete price and terms, including any deposit, minimum spend, cancellation conditions and included service. The existence of an enquiry form is not confirmation that the requested date or a private room is available.
Our Mad Anthony’s profile links the official menu and contact information. Decide whether you want a casual meal, food to take home or an organized gathering, then confirm the corresponding arrangements before making the trip.
