| - Some may claim heresy, but I for one am a huge fan of the new Hofbrahaus.
As much as I liked to go and have as many liters of beer and shotski's as my body pleased back in the day, Hofbra became such a party destination recently that the mood had transitioned from a community feeling of fun to a drunk titanic weighting down the South Side. With the new ID requirements, drink limits, and elimination of a few of the drinking rituals of past, you can actually go to Hofbra on a Friday or Saturday night to relax and have a genuinely good time.
The beer is, as always, historic to the traditional ways of German brewing. No crazy variations or additions here... Water, Malt, Hops, and Yeast. Done. For those looking for more adventurous craft offerings, you'll likely disappointed. However, if you have a true appreciation for German offerings, Hofbra is a great asset to the city in that regard.
The food overall is decent. Nothing to write home about, but the pretzels and beer cheese make a fantastic drinking companion.
Overall, Hofbra continues to be a great destination for locals and out of towners alike (still one of only three or four in the country I believe!).
