"This Downtown spot is the center of German culture in Austin. It specializes in the three Bs: beer, brats, and bowling. It is Austin’s oldest restaurant, opened in 1866 by German immigrant and Civil War veteran August Scholz — and it is also the oldest operating beer garden in America. Obviously the giant Bavarian pretzel is a must-order, along with the excellent Reuben. Don’t skip trying the build your own sausage in a bun (no, it’s not a hot dog)." - Melanie Haupt
