Hofbrauhaus Las Vegas

My friends have been talking about this new restaurant in Las Vegas called Hofbrauhaus during our poker games, when we are at a hookah lounge, everywhere! I was just like Hofbra...what? They explained to me it was a re-creation of the original Hofbrauhaus in Munich, Germany, and that it is the place where Oktoberfest is held in Germany. After I learned what Hofbrauhaus was, the scenes from Beerfest started popping up in my mind. Unfortunately I am only 20 and cannot drink yet. My friend and I headed over to the Hofbrauhaus in Las Vegas anyways for lunch because we heard the food was phenomenal and at the same time reasonable.

To my surprise Hofbrauhaus was the size of a Las Vegas motel. Entering the restaurant was even a trek having to scale a walkway along the side of this enormous building. When we finally entered the building, we were greeted by a hostess dressed up in an outfit similar to the St. Pauli beer girl. Heres the St. Pauli beer girl for you beer virgins:


Our waitress was dressed in the same outfit. Requirements to work at the Hofbrauhaus as a waitress must include a bra size of a D or higher no joke. Our restaurant experience was already good without even ordering our food yet! The dining hall we were seated in was very impressive with a church-like ceiling and large glass windows. The tables were large and wooden, accompanied by their own publication. Here is a picture of the inside of the restaurant:

My and friend I decided to go with their lunch special that day, which was a giant pork sausage in a baguette with sauerkraut and fries for $9.95. Other lunch specials are dishes such as a currywurst sausage with fries, roast pork with onion gravy, chicken melt in a kaiser roll, and beer battered ocean codfish. Our sausages came out within 10 minutes of us ordering our meal. The service was friendly and fast. Now how were these giant sausages? They were great, my friends did not lie to me about the quality of the food. The sausage was over a foot long in a baguette with a generous helping of fries. This meal could have only gotten better if I could have had one of their wonderful beers. Too bad we are one of the few countries in the world with a drinking age of 21... Here is a picture of my meal:

Hofbrauhaus is a great place to get a filling lunch for a reasonable price. With the authentic German beer hall as your environment, it cannot get any better unless you are lucky to be over 21. Next time you are near the Las Vegas Strip and have a hearty appetite during lunchtime, head over to the Hofbrauhaus located on 4510 Paradise Road. Hofbrauhaus also serves dinner and has events on the weekend. Check out their website here.
