Financial District, San Francisco ยท bar
A cavernous Bavarian beer hall with long communal tables and enough ceiling to lose a power lunch. The menu runs properly German: giant pretzels with bier cheese, braised beef sandwiches on a soft roll, and chicken schnitzel alongside an honest roster of German drafts. The Smothered Tots (mushroom gravy, white cheddar cheese curds, pickled fresno chili) are the sleeper order.
