"Walking through the doors at Brauhaus Schmitz is like finding a portal to Germany. The all-wood space is covered in German flags and photos of Deutschland soccer teams, and the waitstaff looks like they’ve been teleported from Oktoberfest. There aren’t many great sports bars on South Street, and this is by far the most enjoyable place to watch a game. From currywurst, smokey speckwurst, and pretzels to pilsners, it’s a great place to bring a group of friends and pack the beer hall-styled tables." - candis mclean, alison kessler

"South Street’s Brauhaus Schmitz is all about German beer. Weekdays from 5 to 7 p.m., all 34 of its drafts go for just $5 each and you can grab house wines for only $6. The sausage sandwich is $7 too. The deals are available at the bar and high-top tables only." - Ernest Owens

"On South Street, Brauhaus Schmitz is offering a $115 three-course fondue dinner plus an open bar of German holiday beers, spirits, and mulled wine, a free Champagne toast at midnight, and access to the roof deck for Penn’s Landing fireworks viewing." - Sarah Maiellano

"Located on the 700 block of South Street, Brauhaus Schmitz’s long‑running Oktoberfest sets up under a huge tent with 10 German beers on tap, German food, live oom‑pah music, and German‑style dancers, and it offers a VIP package ($115) that includes food and access to VIP bathrooms; the team also now hosts a second Oktoberfest at the 23rd Street Armory." - Sarah Maiellano

"For New Year’s Eve, book at Brauhaus Schmitz for a three-course fondue dinner paired with German holiday beers and mulled wine; there’s free Champagne at midnight and the roof deck will be open to watch the Penn’s Landing fireworks." - Sarah Maiellano
