Yours American Sports Bar in Wiesbaden

Yours Sports Bar

I have heard so many raves about Yours American Sports Bar in Wiesbaden, so I had to check it out for myself. It is truly a place to go if you are feeling homesick for being in a Sports Bar in the States! Having a meal at Yours isn’t just having a meal, it is an experience. If you aren’t up for the hour drive to Ramstein Airbase, then this is a great place to get your ‘American fix’ with an American burger and an American sized drink in Wiesbaden!

The Restaurant

The wait staff are so friendly and of course speak English. They serve you with the typical American attentive service that many people miss from the German restaurant culture. Our waitress was very kind to my daughter and brought over toys, crayons and coloring books for her. The bar staff seemed to be all American the day we were there. During our meal we heard an array of fun lively music like the Ghostbusters theme, Michael Jackson, 90’s dance and Queen.    

The inside is covered with all types of sports memorabilia from football to baseball and boxing. Sports fans can also enjoy watching the big games on their TVs with their sports coverage from around the world. They also have a big Super Bowl party every year.

The restaurant has a lot of light coming through the big glass windows and you also have a beautiful view of the central Schloßplatz and especially the Marktkirche.

Marktkirche is Wiesbaden’s main Protestant church. The neo-Gothic church was built between 1853 and 1862.

The Food

I asked our server what are the top three most popular items that are ordered. She told me the ribs, the BLT and the Yankee Beef Salad. Sounds good!

Also notable is their famous John Wayne burger. I had to ask what was inside a John Wayne burger and she said it is double beef with an onion ring inside.

If you don’t know which day to go, perhaps the daily specials will help you decide! All you can eat wings on a weekday is a great deal, and also on the weekends they have all you can eat buffets set up.

Paying and Parking 

Yours conveniently takes credit cards and they also give a 10% discount for anyone with a military ID. You can make reservations online for even the same day before 4pm.

The ‘Markt’ parking underground garage is right next to the restaurant for easy access.

Wiesbaden German/American Friendship Festival 2015

Wiesbaden German/American Friendship Festival 2015

I feel that the German American fest is like the ultimate high-five with our host nation in the form of a fantastic summer festival! 

It is hard to believe that the location of the festival this year once was our PX parking lot and now it is completely transformed into pure exciting and fun experience for all ages! The fest this year takes place from June 26 to July 4. The great turnout it had its’ first weekend is a testament to what a successful festival it is.

This is the one time of the year where we open part of the base to the public. When I was stationed in Mannheim everyone looked forward to the German American fest each year.  Now luckily we have our own here in Wiesbaden!

  
Filled with rides for the little ones and also for the thrill seekers there is no shortage of things to do.

Great fun for kids!!

For more brave thrill seekers…or hot shots!

Come with your appetite to enjoy American carnival food favorites (i.e. Hamburgers and American ice cream) mixed with German fest food (i.e. Bratwurst and Schweinesteak). My personal favorite are the Dutch Fries with garlic sauce at the ‘Fritten’ stand! Yum! They offer a variety of entertainment with DJ and bands and the fest ends with a bang with 4^th of July Fireworks.  

The fest has done a great job of marketing and there are signs all over Wiesbaden. Also they have an informative website with a list of bands/schedule of events and a Facebook page with live updates.

You can find parking in a reserved fest lot at the arena across the street and then walk over the overpass into the fest or you can park in a non-reserved spot in the housing area and walk down. Also if you want to enjoy some alcoholic beverages there are taxi waiting for customers at the gate.
