This review is just for the food since we did not drink when we were there. As a place to drink beer, this is probably a decent spot, but we were joining friends later for drinks so we only drank water with our meal. The haus brat was nothing to write home about----it was surprisingly average at best. When I grill a sausage at home it has much more flavor than what I got here. And for the life of me I could not taste the "Haus Bacon" supposedly in the German Potato Salad. It was pleasant outside for conversation until the live accordion player began----it wasn't his accordion that made it difficult to talk over, it was the loud amplified bass that he played with so he had to amplify too. Did it ever occur to anyone that an unamplified solo accordion would be a nice background to conversation rather than a thumping bass which forces everyone to talk louder? They have a customized ping pong table that look pretty cool. If we ever come back it will be just to have a pint or two. I'm not sure what is so "artisanal" about dry brats.
