Pittsburgh is a city of many cultures and restaurants. One restaurant that uses its culture to stand out from the rest is Hofbräuhaus Pittsburgh. Hofbrauhaus is a special German experience that all Pittsburgh residents should not miss.
Hofbrauhaus opened its colorful doors in 2009 modeled its interior after the legendary 400 plus year-old Hofbrauhaus in Munich, Germany. It features traditionally decorated rooms, German beer brewed on site and of course rich and authentic German fare. Located in South Side Works along the southern bank of the Monongahela River, Hofbräuhaus Pittsburgh is the perfect place to go in this city to have a wonderful dining experience with an amazing view.
While the food itself is a main attraction, Hofbrauhaus’ beer is a huge hit for visitors. The restaurant features 4 staple beers which all have a different taste. Their premium lager is a well balanced and full-bodied. Hofbrau Light is similar to the lager beer, but has been brewed lighter in body and contains a lovely hop flavor. The Hofbrau Dunkel is a dark beer that contains a subtle spicy and rich flavor. Hofrauhaus’ Hefe Weizen, their most unique beer of the four, features sparkling foam with a refreshing and fruity taste. Alongside these regular beers, a seasonal beer is also available every month.
While Hofbräuhaus Pittsburgh is a great place for any occasion, it is imperative to also come check out their special events! Every Thursday they offer a “College Night,” which features reduced pricing on beer and appetizers from 9-11 pm. The first Wednesday of every month features the special keg tapping for the beer of the month with a parade at 7 pm to start the festivities. Also, every second Tuesday of the month is “Family Night.” Family Night has unique contests and prizes for kids to participate in along with face painting, balloon animals and free children’s entrees.
