    Brendan McGill quietly opened this German beer hall in Pioneer Square in mid-November to the sound of growling stomachs that can only be tamed by wurst, soft pretzels and a dozen brews on tap.

    Best wurst in the area! Server recognized us second time we came in, it was nice. Even though it's more of a bar, food feels very home-made and it's pretty quiet there

    Solid German fare, in a cool environment. There’s always a good crowd.

    Handcut fries are a nice surprise in addition to the already great bratwurst.

    Whatever the special is, just get it. After 5 visits it's been 100% awesome.

    Great German beer hall. Buying a liter is the only way to go.

    Good beer selection, average German food. My brat sliders weren't fully cooked. $4 brews during HH. Von Traps is better for food

    Von trapps for an older crowd. Ambience and food are superior

    They should bottle their curry sauce. It’s very tasty.
