The Hofbrauhaus is definitely an acquired taste. If you like a loud and fun environment and are willing to settle for mediocre food, than this is the place for you. There's live music Tuesday-Sunday, table dancing and shotskis (literally four shots attached to a wooden ski). Their food is hit or miss. Sometimes it's hot and tasty while at other times it's cold and bland. I'd suggest ordering one of their schnitzels. I believe their schnitzel dishes are the better foods to select off their menu. The service is not always the most attentive but is usually friendly. If you're lucky, your waiter or waitress may even ask you to dance. My suggestion, eat at home and go to the Hofbrauhaus for a beer and the atmosphere.
