Bierhaus NYC is a Bavarian beer hall a few blocks from Grand Central where steins of Hofbräu and communal tables set the stage for hefty plates of BBQ ribs, pork shank and schnitzel. Open since 2011 and known as an Oktoberfest hub, it delivers loud, festive energy and meaty, sauce-slathered ribs more than quiet refinement.
Must-Try Dishes: BBQ Ribs platter, Schweinshaxe (crispy pork shank), Giant Bavarian Pretzel
What makes it special: High-energy Bavarian beer hall where saucy BBQ ribs share the table with steins of Hofbräu and live Oktoberfest-style revelry.
