Hofbrauhaus
was
not
our
intention
this
evening,
but
my
inability
to
book
reservations
at
a
nearby
spot
and
our
impatience
in
waiting
to
eat
led
us
across
the
street
to
Hofbrauhaus
with
a
party
of
5.
At
6:45pm
on
a
Saturday
there
was
plenty
of
space
in
the
food
hall
and
we
were
seated
near
the
band.
There
were
two
alphorns
playing
the
Star
Wars
theme
song
when
we
walked
in,
and
we'd
learn
later
these
two
horn
players
were
the
two-man
oompah
band
that
played
live
music
all
night.
Our
waitress
was
super
friendly
and
the
service
was
excellent.
It
was
$22
for
a
full
sized
stein
of
beer,
but
the
Hofbrau
beer
was
excellent
indeed.
The
band
played
some
polka
hits,
did
a
bunch
of
toasts
(a
la
The
Man
Show,
if
you
remember
that)
and
generally
kept
a
cool
vibe.
The
hall
echoed
with
the
crack
of
paddles
as
other
parishioners
would
take
a
shot
and
get
spanked
by
the
wandering
Jaegermeister
lady.
The
food,
unfortunately,
was
just
okay.
The
portions
were
huge,
but,
it
felt
like
it
was
under-seasoned.
Once
I
added
salt
to
my
jaegerschnitzel,
it
was
pretty
good.
One
of
us
got
a
sausage
plate
and
man
were
the
sausages
really
good.
The
pretzel
and
beer
cheese
were
fantastic.
Three
of
us
got
Bavarian
Cheesecake
and
they
made
different
designs
in
the
raspberry
coulis
which
was
pretty
cool.
Our
resident
cheesecake
connoisseur
said
it
was
mind
blowing.
Overall,
a
fun
and
unexpected
experience.
About
$40
a
person
with
a
half
stein.
