Munich Brauhaus - Melbourne

We are staying at the Hilton near this restaurant and the concierge told us about this place. He said they make the best soft pretzels and he recommended

No no no no noTwo stars because my husband liked the beer and because they had an authentic looking band playing.

Great German restaurant with absolutely abysmal service, to the point that it was just uncomfortable.

Great place for celebrations with your friends, family or a large group!We had dinner to celebrate new year’s eve and it was so fun! The live music and entertainment was definitely a plus.The pork is cooked nicely and we enjoyed it! It’s conveniently located just next to the yarra river so a great place to spend your time while waiting for the fireworks to start!

We had the Christmas menu today which is a $49 three course meal comprised of a baked pretzel, choice of two mains and apple strudel for dessert. We had the upstairs private function area as there were nearly 40 of us. I’ve never been in that area before and it’s a great little space complete with its own bathrooms. <br/ <br/ The food today was enjoyable and the staff friendly. The servings were generous and I actually didn’t finish my schnitzel main nor my dessert (possibly owing to the fact that the soft drink came in 500ml glasses, those private toilets sure came in handy . Definitely a fun venue <br/ <br/ <br/ Further update<br/ We visited for drinks with friends who work in a nearby building. They now have an extensive cocktail menu whereas back in the day I had no choice but to get right into the German spirit and onto the schnapps (of which there's actually quite the variety, I'm not a beer girl . The menu has also localised itself tremendously of late featuring a Parma and pastas and a whole heap of non traditional choices that were not previously offered. This year I’m going to try and make it for Octoberfest <br/ <br/ Update <br/ MB was chosen as the scene of an early Christmas get together (yes it’s that time of year already and I took the opportunity to try something from their less traditional menu in the form of a steak with an accompanying cocktail (why not given work was paying?! . I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and having been here on a couple of occasions now I have watched it improve tremendously over time. <br/ <br/ <br/ Original review<br/ So much more than a novelty venue. I do like to keep it authentic so I go the original Weiner schnitzel with a side of mash and it's absolutely sensational. A house made pretzel ups the Bavarian beer house factor too and they are a nice accompaniment. <br/ <br/ Naturally you can't finish on anything other than an apple strudel to really transport you to Germany (if the costumes the ridiculously good looking staff are clad in hadn't already . <br/ It's a great spot on the water and best of all you ever have to worry about booking given it has a capacity of 900 people. Atmosphere in spades
