Costumed barmaids serve imported German beers & meaty eats to customers seated at communal tables.
"Oktoberfest was first celebrated at Munich’s internationally famous Hofbrau Bierhaus in 1810, and we are damn lucky to have a branch here in New York City just east of Grand Central. You won’t find a long list of German and American brews, but only those made by Hofbrau Bierhaus; The whole point of the place is to sell its own beer. At peak times this place is crowded and noisy, and seating is at big communal tables, but the beer and food are great, served by costumed employees." - Robert Sietsema
"If you're looking for a place that's good for big groups, head to this German beer garden a few blocks from Grand Central. Matches that start at 11am and later will be shown on a giant projector screen. Expect a lot of German flags (and fans), Hofbräu beers in boot-shaped mugs, and big soft pretzels with mustard and cheese dip." - kenny yang
"Yes, this is a branch of Munich’s famous 400-year-old Hofbräuhaus, making it an obvious choice for large groups, who will be seated at massive trestle tables. The food verges on the modern compared with the Bavarian-American menu that prevails at most NYC German restaurants, with things like deep-fried sauerkraut balls, lentil and bratwurst soup, a mushroom flatbread, and — no surprise — a veggie burger. Note that the beers are all products of a single German brewery, with 10 or so available at any one time, including a seasonal selection or two." - Robert Sietsema, Viktoria Muench
"Bierhaus is a German beer garden two blocks from Grand Central that’s a fun spot to grab drinks with a group in Midtown. You can order different types of Hofbrau beer from servers in lederhosen, and eat big pretzels and bratwursts while listening to live music or watching sports on the projector TV. The bright, second-story space has a bunch of communal picnic tables, which are usually full of people drinking boots of beer." - Matt Tervooren
