"German culture, filtered through Central Texas, takes the spotlight at Scholz Garten, a mega-casual and vibrant beer garden located just south of the UT campus. This local favorite opened in 1866 and has spent the last century and a half perfecting its snappy-skinned brats, vinegar-packed potato salad, and massive Bavarian pretzel served with beer cheese. The cavernous wood-paneled interior hall and the laid-back picnic tables on the lawn both make excellent places to catch the game on a big screen, and one of Scholz Garten’s frosty steins filled with German or Texan beer brings everything together." - Taylor Tobin
