## 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!

    Great authentic German food. We had the Schweinehaxe, Schnitzel, and Pretzel—everything tasted just like back home in Germany. Will definitely come again.

    We had a great meal at Brauhaus Schmitz! We were seated in a back room which was nice and quiet. There were 6 of us, celebrating my husband’s birthday. The food was excellent and our server, whose name I can’t recall, was the best! He was aware of anything we needed, super friendly and had some great suggestions for the menu. Highly recommend!

    The potato pancakes were bland. Wurste were fine. Kasseler was great. Riesling was tasteless. Kölsch and weihenstephan bier were very tasty.

    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!
