German biergarten with bratwurst, pretzels, bocce ball
"Rhein Haus is located in a huge space that’s packed to the brim with long wooden tables, bratwurst, and college students. If you can get past the fact that the line to the bathroom may take longer than a sitcom episode, and that most of the people here are basically children, swing by and slurp liters of German lager served in glass boots. You can also eat things like schnitzel sliders, one of our favorite kale salads in town, and comically large pretzels with tasty beer cheese, all while watching some sports or paying 10 dollars an hour to play bocce extremely competitively until your friends hate each other." - aimee rizzo
"We’re not saying that drinking a boot of frosty beer in July while whispering sweet nothings to the warm breeze isn’t an activity. It is. But sometimes, your friends need something to do, too. Which is why we love the outdoor biergarten at Rhein Haus. During the not-summer months, this place is just a rowdy German beer hall. But by day in the summer, the biergarten is a relatively tame place to party and play bocce until you discover which of your friends are sore losers. While they have a good variety of beers, you should be taking advantage of the outdoor-only, deceptively strong frozen rosé. Order a giant pretzel to share, too." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
"Capitol Hill’s favorite biergarden is such a massive space, it was bound to get a major event like Glitz ‘n Schnitz. What started as an annual Pride tradition has turned into a quarterly drag brunch where guests can guzzle down pints of beer along with the usual offerings of giant soft pretzels, bratwursts, and other German fare in the early afternoon, all alongside past Drag Race contestants including Willow Pill, Thorgy Thor, and Brita Filter." - Kurt Suchman
"For German beer and a soft pretzel that may or may not be larger than your lhasa apso, Rhein Haus is the place. You can sit in their outdoor biergarten and soak up the sun, snack on schnitzel, and drink glass boots of lager while you try your hand at bocce. Just don't ask Rocky to fetch the balls—those suckers are heavy." - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente
"Your Order: Kale Salad This palace of sausage, schnitzel, and beer cheese has a rad plate of greens that deserves more attention. It’s seemingly simple—just shredded kale with granny smith apples, grapefruit segments, an “umami pecan crumble,” and creamy lemon-hued honey vinaigrette. But the balance of sweetness, tartness, and touch of spice from the nuts restores our faith in the concept of the Biergarten side salad." - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente
