Perched above a closed OTB and rocking a giant bar on one end and a 50ft balcony on the other, this German joint from the Whiskey River/ Black Bear Lodge crew offers an airy, skylit, dark-brown-wooded backdrop for consuming exclusively Hofbrau brews (Original, Dunkel, Hefeweizen...) and surprisingly authentic fare including pretzels w/ bier cheese, slow-roasted pork shank, and a Wurst Sampler, which was not Vanilla Ice, 'cause he had that extra "ding" in there!
