Weather permitting. Can I make a reservation?
We only take reservations for groups of 8 or more guests. In the tradition of German beer gardens, Steinspark offers community style seating, mostly at tables that seat 8 people. Smaller groups of guests are welcome to find open seats on their own and to share tables with other guests.
Are pets and/or kids welcome?
Kids and well behaved dogs are welcome – this is a family friendly space. But we do ask that your pets be kept on a leash and you clean up after them. Please watch your kids. Steinspark is still a food service establishment, not a playground.
What happens if it’s raining?
Steinspark is an all outdoor place with a limited number of covered seating. We will stay open during a quick summer shower but will close when significant rain or thunderstorms are in the area. We will also stay closed when inclement weather is forecasted for the following day. Please check our website and Facebook page for weather-related updates.
Can I rent the place for a private event?
Yes, we’d love for you to host a private event at Steinspark! However, due to the limitations of our small kitchen we can only accommodate large private events that require special service on Mondays or Tuesdays when we are usually closed or from noon to 4:00 PM Wednesdays to Fridays before we open to the public. Pricing and deposits depend on the type of catering you require for your private event. We request a minimum of $ 2000.00/event to make it worthwhile. Please call us for more details.
Where can I park when I visit?
Limited parking is available with 65 spots on site. The parking lot often fills up quickly during main dinner hours between 5:00 PM and 7:00 PM, particularly on sunny weekends. Please consider carpooling whenever feasible or ride your bike. The Portage bike trail goes right along Portage Road.
What are your rules on smoking or vaping?
No smoking or vaping allowed on premise. You can step out into the parking lot for that.
When will Steinspark close for the 2026 season?
We plan to close for the season in mid October, depending on the weather.
