Went to Hofbrauhaus for lunch as well as late night for drinks. Excellent beer, great service, and unique atmosphere. Outside seating has a pleasant view of the river. The place gets real crowded and loud as the night begins but that is to be expected.
These all sound good until we start talking about food quality. The food was sub-par for its price. If you are looking for authentic German food, you would be disappointed. Nonetheless, I'd recommend getting beer there. If you don't mind crazy crowd, stop by late night to see people singing, stomping on the tables, and getting obnoxious (or you can join the drunks). As for the food? Check out Max's Allegheny Tavern instead.
