The beer list is German-focused and impressive, as is the selection of glassware available to the bartenders, apparently. The bar itself is a great place to grab a few beers or catch a soccer game. \n\nAlthough Freiburg's dinner menu is generally well executed and I live nearby, I rarely go there for dinner. The food is so heavy that I nearly never want to go in the summer, and even in the winter the sheer amount of it feels like a splurge. I've never been for lunch or brunch, though, so I can't speak to that. \n\nThat said, the dinner menu is definitely for you if you enjoy German food. The bread basket includes soft pretzels and replaces butter with a pair of sharp mustards. The schnitzels and wursts are excellent, and most of what appears on the plate next to them is quite good (although I found the spaetzle surprisingly uninspiring). If your dish doesn't come with the Himmel und Erde potatoes--a pile of fluffy mash studded with apples, caramelized onion, and bacon--add a side order. They reheat beautifully, so you won't be missing anything."^^ .
