Hofbräu Beerhall Miami

Most people sit at the outdoor tables under blue umbrellas, lulled into a pleasant complacency by wursts, beer, and music oom-pah-pahing over the speakers. Even so, this feels less like a biergarten than like hanging on Lincoln Road. Which is fine. So is the beer, Hofbrau Munchen draft specialties imported from Munich -- original gold lager, a dark dunkel, and hefe weizen, a cloudy wheat beer. The grand size, a comically tall 34-ounce (liter) mug, seemingly becomes heavier to lift as you empty it. Wursts are the best things here. Try veal bratwurst, grilled and served with red cabbage and mashed potatoes. Or Munchner weisswurste, white sausages made from veal and pork, accompanied by sweet Munich mustard and a Bavarian pretzel on top. Beer and wursts. Don't delve too much deeper than that on this otherwise hit-but-mostly-miss menu. And be patient. Anyone who labors under the ethnic stereotype of Germans being berefficient will be thoroughly disabused of the notion while waiting for a menu. Or the check. Or anything, really.Read our full review.
