My husband and I went here for a family party while we were in Pittsburgh over Thanksgiving. We loved it! We came in the afternoon because we thought it would be really difficult to get a table at night. We were a party of 18. First off there is every beer imaginable. You can get the 1 liter stein and purchase it or get a regular size mug. They also have a full bar. My husband got the large stein.purchased it. We both got the 3 brats with saurkrat and potatoes but I substituted a potato pancake for the mashed potatoes. They bring a basket of large pretzels with bier cheese to start. The food is good, but it's the atmosphere that makes it fun. We got there too early for the band, but they had an accordian player there who kept things lively by taking requests for toasts and offfering toasts. It was a fun afternoon,
