Andra Zapartan

Truly German atmosphere! Try the Kartoffelpfannkuchen, they're very good, and pair them with a house beer . :) During the summertime I highly recommend the Biergarten - nice views to the marina .

Andra Zapartan

If you like salads , you have to try the Munich Market Salad (here with glazed salmon - extra) 'cause it's absolutely delicious. ???????????? The other one in the pic is the Brewer's Cobb (which was huuuge).

Andra Zapartan

If you're thinking about ordering an appetizer , go for the Kartoffelpfannkuchen (potato pancakes ), they're delicious. Also, choose a table by the river , in their Biergarten .

Andra Zapartan

I don't usually like pretzels , but this one is soooo good. It's giant (Giant pretzel combo), soft and comes with 3 dips that are just yummy. Pair it with a cold beer ????

Andra Zapartan

I just discovered their terrace that is not facing the river and it's great if a quiet night is what you want. Hidden gem :)

Christy Spurlock

Fun German atmosphere. Great place to try some German dishes or a beer ! Everything was delicious, staff friendly , fun checking out all the steins & merchandise too.

Daniel Crum

The Hofbra was a fond memories of a recent trip to Pittsburgh: great food, good drinks, & awesome music . Never seen people dance on tables before, at least until I dined here anyway. :-)

Jason Ray

Plan to spend about two hours, slowly working through apps and beer then lunch/dinner. The pretzels were good, the beer cheese made them great. The brats were wonderful. The dunkel is excellent!

Andra Zapartan

Enjoy their beer of the month - can't go wrong with that ????

Andra Zapartan

The raspberry cream puff is extremely (!) sweet. Extremely!

Lauren Bates

If you come on the first Wednesday of the month at 7pm, prepare for a German beer celebration. The menu has lots of good appetizers for you and your friends to share.

George Maier

German beer and entertainment — djs , bands etc especially during Oktoberfest !

David Montag

The beer is good for a chain restaurant ..and, they are trying hard to make the atmosphere as close the the Munich Hoffbrauhaus as they can.

Ken

Authentic food and drinks and great atmosphere. Live ompah band make for a great experience.

Lynette Malloy

The fried pickles were very good. I also really enjoyed the Hofbrauhaus Bratwurst Chili and the Dunker Bourbon Chicken sandwich . Our waitress was very nice.

judy ross

The beer ! Atmosphere and food are very authentic . It's just like being in Munich!

Ian Sweeney

Fun, warm, "Oktoberfest" atmosphere! Authentic German cuisine matched with amazing beers brewed in-house. Go here. Go now.

James Santelli

When the weather is nice, be sure to sit out in the beer garden along the river . You'll have a great view and it's a lot quieter than the beer hall.

Kevin Jetton

great for groups only they have a no call/adv reservation policy so you have to get your group on a list then wait until tbl avail so requires some strategy for fun!

Amol K

Pretzel with bier cheese . Inside is loud and fun, outside is more mellow next to the river .

Damon Clement

Good food, beer and all at a great price with wonderful atmosphere

Joe

It's definitely the Americanized version of the real Hofbrauhaus, but it's still great. Don't order the American food . Go for the brats !

Beth Knapick

Great beer and food.. Great service.. Fun atmosphere . Love it!

Nat Eliason

Thursday night is college night, $6 liters of their tap beers . Also some discounts on food

Andru Edwards

I'm all about the pretzels here! Even without the cheese dip , the pretzels are great. Not much of you don't eat pork , like me.

Travis

This place is awesome!!!! I recommend anyone going to or through Pittsburgh to stop in and try it out. I will definitely be going back.

Todd Joslin

If you want a giant plate of meat, and great German beer , this is your place. Also the best kraut I think I've ever had.

Chris Pollone

Got the three sausage sampler. Awesome. Parking was really hard to find.

Stephan Butler

Beer cheese pretzels are so warm and fresh

The J Effect!

The Food, Beer And Atmosphere Here Are Amazing!!!!!

Katie Eytch

Gets noisy and crazy at night, hard to navigate when you're in a small group. Get the pretzels for obvious reasons.

Alicia Fleming

I love this place, and I ordered their bier cheese and grilled chicken breast . Love this place!!

Bikabout

Authentic German brewery and cultural establishment conveniently off the Three Rivers Heritage Trail

that 1 guy

They now have a lunch buffet M-F 11-2 $10 very tasty !!!

Tyler Cannon

Hofbräu has good German food with a nice view of the river but is much more chain like that the Penn Brewery .

Amy Cummings

Head down to the beer garden . It’s a better atmosphere and you don’t have to wait for a table!

Drew Teeter

Food was very good and the atmosphere was awesome and the live entertainment made it all around fun!

Rob M.

Go on Fri or Sat evening for the full experience - live polka(?) band, people standing on their seats, shots from a long piece of wood, packed. Potato pancakes are too pancakey. Pretzels are the best. Read more

Kartikay Sahay

Isn't as big as the Munich one, but has great view and great beer . Heif Weisz is the best!

Guha Arunkumar

Bier cheese fries and spinach dip were great! Get a liter of the seasonal biers and relax. :)

Jessica Philo

My accomplice here was the beer drinker, but I had the potato soup which was awesome and chocolate cake , which was also awesome.

James Smith

They have good German foods and good pretzels too.

Chris Smith

The dark seasonal beer was delicious. Sauer Kraut Balls were awesome as well .

Sean Stewart

I love the Bierkäse (beer cheese ) and pretzel combination. The beer is OK, but then again, I much prefer Belgian-style trappist beers .

George Maier

Awesome beer with a vibrant crowd. Especially awesome for soccer matches

Joe Klock

Love the food, service, and atmosphere. Can't go wrong with this great German restaurant

Omer Zach

Gets too crazy on weekend nights. Bros puking on the floor and in the bathrooms . Great place when it's empty though!

Pete DeAngelo

The Bavarian Brats band on Saturday night, they start at 9:30. It's definitely the best time to come

Steve Cimorelli

Excellent German beers on tap , great pretzels , and good traditional German fare.

Linda Kriebel

Love it here! Been here many times. Gluten free menu has a lot of options.
