| - This review is long overdue....
While enroute to Las Vegas on a red eye flight, I was reading an in-flight magazine, when I noticed an ad for this restaurant. The advertisement called them the first and only authentic German beer hall and restaurant to call Las Vegas, NV home. Not only that...they're a replica of Munich's famed Hofbräuhaus but in an enclosed building. There was also an ad that offered a free mug (per customer) of their Oktoberfest beer just for stopping in. We were excited because we have never been to Munich.
Anyway, we arrived at the restaurant at lunchtime and there was a line of people waiting to get in. The building is quite large and has high ceilings that makes you feel like you're under a huge tent with painted indoor gardens. You could almost hear people's conversation echo about. We were seated at a large community table as an attentive and friendly server came by.
We thought about ordering only a snack to take advantage of the free beer advertisement. Our order consisted of 2 pretzels and 2 small (free) mugs of their Oktoberfest beer. The beer was cold, crisp and clean tasting. We were told that the beer is imported from the same batches as what is made and served at the Hofbräu tents. We considered upgrading to a 1L stein but we knew that we had dinner reservations set for later that evening.
- Jumbo pretzel which was huge and served warm. There were two types of mustards and an Obazter (Obatzda?) cheese. We were familiar with the mustards but the cheese spread/dip was deliciously different. Apparently, it is a Bavarian cheese delicacy...a mixture of soft cheeses and butter.
- Jumbo pretzel with Bavarian Liver Mousse and Obazter (Obatzda) cheese. The liver mousse was light and flavorful. I know, some of you might be saying "Ewww" but, it was really good. I wished that there was a larger portion but, it would've been overkill.
We enjoyed both baked pretzels as they were served warm, soft and a bit chewy. The pretzels and beers were perfect together and we were satiated.
But, then....I looked at their dinner menu and spied "Schweinshaxe" aka roasted pork shank with crispy skin! OMG...I started planning our return because they serve this specialty after 4PM. Alas, our stay in LV was only for a couple of days and as they say, "our dance card was filled". So, just to keep my tastebuds focused, I borrowed the picture of that pork shank. I WILL return..... Maybe the oompah band will be playing.
