The German immigrants who settled in Lincoln Square have mostly moved on, making room for a new generation of urban hipsters. But they leave behind the Brauhaus, an Oktoberfest of a restaurant featuring a lederhosen-clad duo playing nightly polkas and waltzes that bring old-timers and new converts to the dance floor. Though the atmosphere is the draw over the food, you can't go wrong with the bratwurst and sauerkraut or the schnitzel. Large tables easily accommodate groups. The spacious bar and a good selection of German beers draws oompah-loving drinkers.
