"When the founders of Bavarian Bierhaus returned from years of military deployment in Southern Germany, they missed the bierhall culture they had enjoyed during their time abroad. They set about recreating an authentic Munich vibe by building a cavernous dining space inside of the Opry Mills shopping center. Today, the biergarten can seat 500 patrons indoors and 120 outside. Offering a wide range of imported German beers on draft — ranging from a half-liter to a shareable three-liter tower along with bottled beers, German wines, cocktails, and soft drinks like Pepsi, Bavarian Bierhaus is a tippler’s paradise. The food menu is appropriately heavy with German pretzels, schnitzels, and sausages." - Chris Chamberlain
