My family and I went to Hofbrauhaus, once more to be in the Keg Tapping night, perhaps our 23rd one; in addition, we were celebrating my wife's US Naturalization, it couldn't be better, all musicians of the Band, the Manager, the waitresses, and even several other Customers around, celebrated with us. A BIG thanks for being such a wonderful family and allow us to be part of it! PROST!!!! Beer and food were so Good.P.S. Looking where to add more stars...

The food has never disappointed a single person I've ever taken here, including people who've lived in Germany and picky eaters.On Thursday they have an accordion player and the place gets LIVELY in a fun way.The beer is fantastic and you can add flavors to it that make it even more interesting if that's your thing.Overall one of the best spots in Pittsburgh, even if it is a little pricier.Parking: Parking is not available adjacent to the building but street parking and garages are only a small block away.

Bier was so-so. Authentic German food items removed from the menu and American items put on in their stead. Band too loud, stupid contests that are American in nature. Nothing like the Hofbrauhaus in Munich I went to in '96. Way too Americanized.Parking: Parking way too expensive.

Really neat German pub! Kayla was fantastic and her recommendations were spot on. We had to send one dish back but the staff was very accommodating in taking care of the issue.

We had heard about this place for several years and were in the area to visit; decided to try the restaurant at the recommendation of a friend, local to the area. The hunt for parking on a rainy, Saturday night is exactly as it sounds and expected.If you are beer/schnitzel/brat/sauerkraut enthusiast, you'll enjoy this place. It is a very Loud venue owing to the cavernous rooms. If you're looking for night out with quiet conversation, perhaps look elsewhere.I ordered the Jagerschnitzel which came with bottom-of-the-pan-burnt potatoes, interestingly sweet s'kraut; moderately sized portions and good flavor. We all ordered desserts; very average flavor/taste and seemed thawed from a box, not fresh or made on the premises. The other diners in my party had no major complaints with their choices. Our server, Alexa, was attentive and energetic. She's an asset to the place. It was a solid/good experience but nothing to rave about.

Always love the food and drinks and the workers are very nice. Waitress did spill drinks all over someone in my party but we had a huge table with young kids and she was very apologetic.

Can’t say anything bad about the place. If you’re in the area or even if you have to go out of your way you won’t regret trying their variety of beer and food.

The restaurant's policies regarding reservations and accommodations for patrons with special needs left much to be desired.My dissatisfaction stems from the fact that they do not accept reservations on Saturdays, which seems inconvenient for patrons who prefer planning or have special occasions to celebrate. It's perplexing that they exclude such a popular dining day from their reservation system.Moreover, what truly soured my experience was witnessing the restaurant's inability or unwillingness to accommodate a recent leg amputee on his birthday despite being contacted well in advance. One would expect a restaurant to prioritize customer comfort and inclusivity, especially when given ample notice about specific requirements.It's disheartening to see a lack of empathy and flexibility, especially in situations where simple adjustments could significantly enhance the dining experience for individuals with disabilities. Dining out should be an enjoyable and inclusive experience for everyone, regardless of their physical abilities.I hope the management reconsiders its policies and strives to create a more inclusive and accommodating environment for all diners in the future.

Tired, starving, not in a great mood when I arrived. That changed so fast! Amazing service, wonderful atmosphere, fun music, and the food, omg the food! ? And let me just say I witnessed the hostess turn down a man trying to bride her with $150 cash to get seated faster. She stood her ground and refused to bump him up. I will eat here everytime I'm in the area!

Best beer, delicious food, fun atmosphere - what's not to love about the Hofbrauhaus? Well, maybe the wait times for a table. But you can most certainly understand why it's so busy!

Lots of room for big gatherings on the river with friends for drinks and
