Our first visit to this new German-style bar was great – great patio and great atmosphere. This time they'll have a separate vegan menu in place for us with vegan brats and beer pairings – just in time to warm up for Oktoberfest!
Meet fellow veg*an and veg-curious folks for a great evening of drinks, fun, and discussion on vegan goings-on in the Metroplex.
