| - I always pass by this place on Paradise on my way to the airport and now I can finally say I've stepped foot in this German beer hall. Apparently this was a recreation of the original Hofbräuhaus in Munich. Everyone comes for the beer, which is served in three different sizes, but let's be real - you want the one served in the giant one liter stein. Of the beers to choose from, they have the classic Bavarian lager, a darker lager, and a hefe weizen.
The menu consists of some traditional Bavarian fare such as sausage, sauerkraut, potatoes, schnitzel, and the giant pretzel. I was quite disappointed by the "freshly baked" pretzel as it was very dry and tough. The cold "Obazter" cheese dip didn't help matters. If you're a fan of sausage, try the Hofbräuhaus wurstplatte for a combination of Vienna style frankfurters, pork, and chicken sausages with sides of sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. Personally, I loved the Jägerschnitzel. Nothing says you're hungry like a big pork cutlet topped with mushrooms, bacon, and onions with a side of spätzle. If you're still hungry for dessert, the apple strudel with vanilla ice cream was delicious.
There's live entertainment that comes on at night, which makes this place even more fun. But, you can always start your own entertainment at your very own table. This is the perfect place for a large group. If you find yourself in such a situation, be sure to order shots for that one naughty boy or girl. Each shot comes on a paddle. After that unfortunate guy or gal downs the shot, the beer maid gives that person a thunderclap paddling that echoes throughout the hall (why do you think they built the ceilings to be so high?). I'm still sore just thinking about it.
Come one, come all. You will enter sober and leave with a headache, no memory of what happened, and unsure why your left buttcheek hurts so much.
