## Step into a Bavarian Paradise at Brauhaus Schmitz

Brauhaus Schmitz is more than just a restaurant; it's an immersive experience that transports you to the heart of Munich. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by the warmth of a traditional German Bierhall, complete with communal tables, lively chatter, and the clinking of steins.

The menu at Brauhaus Schmitz is a celebration of authentic German cuisine. From artisanal sausages, to succulent schnitzel, pounded thin and pan-fried to golden perfection, or savor the Haus Specialty Schweinshaxe, a roasted pork knuckle that falls off the bone, each dish pairs well with one of their Crisp Clean Lagers.

Speaking of Bier, Brauhaus Schmitz boasts the largest selection of German beers in the world, with 34 rotating taps and 80 bottled varieties. Whether you're a seasoned beer connoisseur or just starting your exploration, the knowledgeable staff will guide you through the diverse offerings, helping you find the perfect brew!

The food was very good but the service was slow. They were out of 3 different beers we tried to order and one of the desserts. Kind of disappointing for a place that brags about their beer selection.

Our server, Declan, was great. He was very attentive, but not too much, and knowledgeable as we had some food allergies. His beer reccommendations were spot on. The food was great as always!

Our meal was terrific. The service was great. The selection of beers is tremendous and they gave my husband a taste test because he couldn’t decide which one he wanted. Excellent choice for an authentic German wheel.

Great little German spot on South Street. Unfortunately, due to COVID a lot of the visitors are required to be outdoors and essentially on the street (roped off of course). This puts you very close to the cars and motorcycles passing by, and its South Street so...you know what that means. This is not the fault of the restaurant, it's just the times we're living in. Overall, this is a nice spot to eat dinner and have a few beers. I highly recommend.

The one drawback to the outdoor sidewalk seating is all of the background noise from vehicle traffic on South Street and the pedestrians walking by.
