"Leopold's is a party where the lager flows freely and the decibel level might raise your doctor's eyebrows. This German-Austrian beer hall looks like an alpine lodge, complete with a deer head and a long communal table where giant two-liter boots are the norm. While the weiner schnitzel is a bit dry, the ooey-gooey-cheesy kasespatzle and rich flatbread flammekueche are the perfect companions to all that imported kölsch you'll inevitably order. Either way, all of the food is appreciated, especially after the boot-chugging contest you’ll likely have with the next table down. " - will kamensky, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
