Prost!

I have been dreaming about that lifesize pretzel with cheese since I ate it a few weeks ago. Order that if you're in a party of greater than two. Oh, what the hell, order it even if you are a party of two because YOLO.

I also had a thuringer wurst. So delicious.

This experience was so different than most restaurants in Chicago (authentic German food, sitting at long cafeteria-style wooden tables, beer out of enormous steins). I highly recommend it.

This place is awesome.  Great combination of German beers and food with a nice sports bar scene.  It doesn't get any better than this.  They have a great selection of German beers and sizes (Das Boot anyone?)  Why they put Bud Light on the menu, I have no clue.  They must waste a lot of Bud Light kegs here.  

Also tried some of the German sausages.  Uh, can you say good??  Didn't order the pretzel, but saw several being brought out.  One pretzel could feed an entire 3rd grade soccer team.  They are massive!

i wasn't feelin' it.  it looks like a dive bar from the outside.  it looks like a dive bar when you walk in.  but the TVs and the music sold it out and made it into a sorta, johnbarleycorn kinda joint.  

yeah, they have big german mugs to put your beer in.  so?  the bartender was rude to my lesbian friend.  after she asked for a lot of limes in her voda/soda, he said, ""a lot" like 2 or "a lot" like 3?"  she said, "a lot like 3." and then he said, "do you know how hard it is to cut these?" WTF, you lazy MFer.  they're effing limes.  get real.  it's not like you're shucking oysters.

but then, he was really nice to my straight blonde friend.  um, ok.

i'm not sure what it was, but i think all the attractive people were in bed (not necessarily sleeping), because there wasn't one remotely cute person in there.  i'm not saying i'm the cat's pj's.  it just left a bad taste in my mouth.  twss.
