One of the things missing in Novena is a great neighbourhood bar, and Brauhaus comes pretty close to having that honour.
The beer selection is extensive, and I was pleasantly surprised to find some of my Southeast Asian favourites on there as well. Reminiscing about that beer you had while backpacking in Vietnam or Cambodia? They will probably have it.
The menu is an interesting mix of German fare and local favourites. I usually go with the Potato salad, which is just nice for one, and it has gherkins added to the mix, german-style. The food is not amazing, but as with all neighbourhood bars, you're there for the company and convenience.
Whilst Brauhaus makes for a pleasant, casual night-out with the neighbours in the 'hood, do watch out for unwelcomed visitors. I have, unfortunately, encountered rats and cockroaches on several occasions.
