Waitresses in dirndls will serve you frosty glasses of beer.
Brauhaus Schmitz, Philadelphia's newest German beer garden and restaurant, has (finally!) opened its doors on a hoppin' stretch of South Street real estate. With a 20-tap draft system (16 dedicated German, 4 alternative) and a 80+ bottle list, Brauhaus Schmitz is marrying both the German *and* Philadelphia traditions of drinking beer. Open daily from 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 a.m., waitresses in dirndls will serve you burgeoning plates of bratwurst, cured meats, and cheeses while German music plays in the background.
Aside from brats, the menu features the type of classic German cuisine one would expect (wiener schnitzel, pickled herring, beef stew, apple strudel) and some additional dishes that tempt - like a Bavarian cheese spread served with rye bread and a spicy Hungarian goulash served over spatzle. For those who have a hard time with anything un-American, Brauhaus Schmitz also serves fries (that's pommes to you) with a side of curry ketchup as well as some crispy potato pancakes.
So stop in and share a mug with friends!

Great atmosphere and staff is excellent. Food and beer are also top rated. It's about time we had some good spots on this end of South Street! Watch for new BBQ Place at 9th and South (formerly Crescent City)
"Girl about town" sounds about right... I like how you lifted the beer photo without photog's credit. At least you owe him a "Happy Ending"!
