People's Pub
There are lots of reasons to go to the German-themed People's Pub. There's the tap beer selection, which is a who's who of Deutsch brews, but also tosses in some other Euro favorites (like Strongbow cider) for good measure. There are the board games and the high probability of scoring a table on any given night. Happy hour lasts till 7 so you don't have to leave work early to partake. There's a late night happy hour too. But personally, I'd go there for the food. The fried pickles are a popular item (I find them a little overwhelming and I'm so over aoli as a concept) as is anything ending in "schnitzel" or "wurst." I'd recommend the fried tomato sandwich and the bread pudding. But whatever you decide to order, don't forget to throw in some spatzle. Spatzle is the German's greatest contribution to side-dishes. This incredible cross between noodles and dumplings can be enjoyed smothered in butter or blanketed with cheese. And it's also fun to say. It's pronounced "shpetz-luh." See? Fun! It's true the service can be spotty but the pluses definitely outweigh the minuses. Say it with me now. "Shpetz-luh!"
