Serving authentic German dishes in a relaxed, beer hall-type setting, Gerst Haus attracts those with a hungry belly and a love of good beer. Diners can pick between the 26 draught beers available, choose a bottle of imported beer, or order a giant frozen fishbowl of Gerst amber beer if they’re really serious about drinking. For a truly German dinner experience, start with the Gerst oyster rolls appetizer before tucking into the combination dinner. Consisting of a choice of three of the following dishes: bratwurst, kasseler rippchen, knackwurst, kielbase, beef stroganoff, schnitzel, goulash and sauerbraten, plus a choice of two sides and freshly baked rye bread, this is a meal only to be attempted by the considerably hungry.
