Yes, I have been here. It was a long time ago. I popped back in her on St. Pat's this year. Not much has changed. Do you require beer? Do you require it in a plastic cup? Do you also require shouting, frat boys, questionable music and bar food? If so this is your jam. Otherwise go to a nicer place where your ear drums will not be made to bleed while someone spills thier Natty Ice on your nice shoes.
Review Source:So, after a few cheap micros at the Village - we sauntered across the street to the Haus - following the alluring tones of a live "band" playing. Â Thursday nights spotlight " The Fibbs" and to tell you the truth; I so enjoyed it. A few covers in (red solo cup was a fail) and 2 hoppy drafts later - I am sure I yelled out "BLACK KEYES".. The next song was "HOWLING FOR YOU" with an interesting beatbox percussive piece by a crowd member. Â Sporadic dancing. Eclectic gathering of neighborly souls. Not decadent but dependable.
Now, on the flip side - there can be quite a bit of drama that accumulates. I have seen fiascos, fights, and fracas - but - hey.. It's a bar... You never know what will happen - i.e. - Colorado. If it is crowded; that is a great sign. BTW - great sunrise burger.. Fried egg on top. Good prices; a bit smokey; but all in all - I'm a fan!
I am not a fan of establishments that have indoor smoking as I do not like smelling like an ashtray after a night of drinking, dancing, and having fun.
On a positive note they had live music and drinks were fairly priced.
I won't be back unless a friend is having an event there and even then it better be a good friend because I would not go back to Strasse Haus for a casual acquaintance.
Good for Smokers!
It is such a great set-up, but such a bad experience. Â The crowd is rowdy, and it seems that every weekend the cops are having to break up a fight or arrest someone there. Â And it takes about an hour to get a drink in that place. Â After muscling through a couple of old people in leather jackets, finally getting the attention of the swamped bartender, and finding a place to stand without being bumped into by some frat bro who'll want to fight... I'm too worn out to have a good time. Â And the band outside always sucks. Â Always. Â I don't know who does the booking, but they have awful taste. Â AC/DC cover band? Â Really? Â
Not my jam.
This is my favorite bar in the Mainstrasse district. I've been going to Mainstrasse for years but just recently moved to the area. I'm within walking distance of everything and have made the rounds during the week and weekends- Strasse Haus is always the best place to hang out.
They always have good prices and there is usually live music in the outside area.
Try the shot "Little Beers" while you're there... delicious...
This place is solid. It's got a good male/female ratio like much of mainstrasse and the drinks are cheap compared to a place like Cock and Bull down the street.
The bar is, decor wise a complete bomb though. The only thing German about this place is the name and it's extremely crowded on weekends. They have a really nice garden area but have fun standing all night because seats are few and far between. Overall a decent place if you just want to walk around and mingle while having a beer.
For a bachelor party, this completely suited our needs. Â Fairly cheap drinks, fairly loud noise, and a fairly nice outdoor courtyard which was not at all separated from the back room, so the entire area felt open. Â If you liked the song that the cover band was playing (and they were most excellent for a cover band, nailing renditions of "Mr Jones" and other 90s classics), you could quickly dash to the front and make a fool of yourself. Â Or you could slip back out into the summer night and relax around the patio tables, watching the goings on in Main Street through the grated fence.
It was nothing fancy, but it was a fun setting, and what is remembered is remembered fondly.
Strasse Haus is your pretty standard MainStrasse bar, though the crowd tends to be a little bit older than the college crowd at Pachinkos or Cosmo's. There's a large patio open year round (covered in the winter, course) and pool tables upstairs. On the weekends, they often have local cover bands or a DJ spinning Top 40's tunes.
While the bar itself is not a standout in my opinion, a few of their food items are. In particular, Strasse Haus's sauerkraut balls are wunderbar! Forget Hofbrauhaus' flavorless version. Strasse Haus's savory appetizer is filled with cream cheese, sausage, sauerkraut, which is then deep fried and served with 1000 island dressing. Since 5 balls only cost $4.95, order a double batch and share with your friends.
I don't think I'll be hanging out at Strasse Haus for cocktails, but I'll definitely go back from their yummy deep-fried treats.
