"Northern Virginia Magazine restaurant critic and dining editor Stefanie Gans visits Arlington’s months-old German beer hall, situated right in the “thick” of Columbia Pike’s restaurant scene. Its beer-friendly food includes “heavy, carby apps” like “slicked, doughy” pretzels designed for dunking into beer cheese sauce. Deliberate German food includes bratwurst with crispy, salty fries and curry-spiked ketchup. A veal schnitzel was too thick, she writes, but with roasted Brussels sprouts and creamy, smooth mushroom gravy, “it’s a plate hardy enough for a backdrop of crisp German pints.”" - Tierney Plumb
