A raucous good time! We went on a Friday night, and it packed to the rafters with only a few open seats here and there (we made reservations, bypassing the line). Most tables are long, with benches on either side, seating 8 people. We were a couple, so we were seated with a family of four. We made sure to come when the live music was German-themed (accordion and various woodwinds), for more of a biergarten feel. People sometimes sing along. Service was slow, with time—maybe a little too slow—giving time to enjoy the music, and watch various screens showing sports. Food was good, generous portions; the leftovers will go for another two meals. Be aware that the SMALL beer is a pint. Do not come here on a first date. You will not be able to have a conversation. So loud that when we have our order, we had to point to the menu and use hand gestures. All part of the experience.

Amazing experience! The food was delicious, the ambience fantastic with the live Polka band, group singing and dancing. All of the servers were kind and friendly! It’s not a place for a quiet date as it gets loud. Totally worth the experience!

A festive atmosphere surrounded Hofbrauhaus with the Christkindlmarkt huts and vendors. The hot chocolate is outstanding. We enjoyed dinner upstairs in the King Ludwig room. Still festive, but far enough from the band that we enjoyed pleasant conversatios among our group.

We went for the vendors that were there and dinner there. We did make reservations. I suggest that especially on the weekend. Our food was fantastic. The Goulash was amazing. It's enough for 2. I also had the potato pancakes, very good. My husband had the 4 different sausage dinner. He couldn't stop saying how good it was. This is our 3rd time there. Will definitely be back.
