Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'beer' (the beverage) with 'hall' (a room for gatherings): it denotes a hall where beer is served or consumed. This compositional, noun-noun compound follows regular English patterns (and similar constructions in other languages), so a B1 learner knowing both words will understand it.
Etymology
Beer hall comes from old big rooms in Germany where people met to drink beer, sing, and celebrate together. Because these gatherings happened in a large hall for beer, the name now means 'a large place where beer is served and people gather'.
