| - After coming here a few times, I think I've got the experience down:
First, you're gonna wait in line. If its a weekend, possibly for a few hours. But be a pro, get a line beer (you'll want a large), and pretend you're at the Muni Lot.
Finally got a table? Good. Get another beer, and order some food. I recommend the schnitzel - it's roughly the size of a hubcap, fried perfectly, then smothered in beer cheese sauce and sauteed ham. They had me at "beer cheese sauce."
Then, since you waited in line for a few hours, you'll sit at your table for a few hours, drink about 4 liters too much beer, and end up eating all that schnitzel, wearing an alarming portion of that cheese sauce in the process (not that its a bad thing), having a few shot-skis, forgetting about the schnitzel, then wolfing down a few pretzels. The live music will be cranking, and you'll have a shouting match of a conversation with the person next to you.
Then you'll go home stuffed, drunk, ears ringing, and senses overloaded. So, I'm conflicted about Hofbrauhaus... there's a lot going for it, but you've got to be prepared for the full-on sensory overload experience. There's another, quieter room... but that's not why you go. You go for the excess of it all, and worry about the consequences later.
