<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"><DIV>This place is based on the original Hofbrau beer hall in Munich.

<DIV>However, the servers aren't German, there's no live oompa band, and you aren't surrounded by people of various nationalities, so the experience isn't quite the same as being in the original.</DIV>

<DIV>However, the beer was good, the food was good, the music might be live on the weekends, and I'd go there when it opens if anyone wants to make a party of it!</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>But it doesn't mention which beer hall it is actually based on. Most people who have been in Munich tend they prefer one or two over the others. I personally found the "Hofbrau" beer hall the most touristy of the lot, but fell in love with the Augustiner beerhall (bearing no resemblance to the Iron City version locally). Walking into it felt like I was traveling back in time (and the servers walking around with 6-8L of beer in their hands certainly didn't hurt the atmosphere). I really hope it ends up being like one of the originals, as opposed to another touristy version.<BR><BR>
