Chicago Brauhaus

I really really wanted to love this place. You walk in the door, and not only are you transported to Germany, but a different time era as well. I've been here twice, and it's definitely an experience not to be forgotten!

In terms of beer, this place is great. The food is where I take issue. It's overpriced, especially considering what you get. Both times that I've been there, I got their Bavarian Pretzel, which was great, but expensive. In terms of main courses however, the Brauhaus falls short. The first time that I was there, my friend ordered the Hawaii toast. It was literally a piece of white bread, some spam, and one pineapple ring. I could have made several of those from scratch in my own home, and for less money! The second time I was there I ordered the meatballs, which were alright. I just feel that the food here leaves a lot to be desired! It's pretty bland and overpriced.

As far as entertainment goes, however, this place does not disappoint. The live band is amazing, and you can tell that the musicians are having the time of their lives up there on stage. There was a fabulous older couple taking over the dance floor, and it was incredible.

I'd recommend the Brauhaus for the overall experience, but don't get your hopes up for cuisine that blows you away!
