"Well, we got invited to a Yelp Elite Event at Der Braumeister, and, as always, we were not disappointed.\n\nWe started off just going to hob nob a bit and sample some of the snacks they had there (I was a bit disappointed, as I couldn't sample their fine ales, but I had to work later that night, so, just food for me thanks:) We got to sample sauerkraut balls, pate' and their great potato pancakes, but we couldn't just stop there; we stayed and had a full dinner too. \n\nDer Braumeister is located off of Lorain Road and is a nice little German departure from the outside world on a cold evening. The place is warm, woody and cozy, with good food and really great service (A shout out to Julia, our waitress, who was absolutely amazing:) My wife sampled their ales, and she enjoyed them immensely. For myself, the schnitzel was tasty, the German potato salad was great and a piece of their apple strudel topped things off nicely:) The bar at the front was impressive, and overall, you felt like you could have been somewhere in the mountains enjoying some native fare. \n\nI think the only difficulty here...not enough parking. The restaurant has very tiny back row of spaces, and most of the rest is either street or side-street parking, so get there early if you want to partake of their tasty treats. \n\nSo, if you are looking for a bit of Germany...in Cleveland and you want a great place for good food, good drinks and a place that's relaxing, I say YA! to Der Braumeister!\n\nBTW, just another shout out to Cara and the ladies who did a great job with the event!"^^ . .
