1. It has Bragging Rights as the First Hofbrauhaus in America

Modeled after the 400+-year-old Hofbräuhaus in Munich, Germany, the Hofbrauhaus Newport location in Northern Kentucky is the first authentic Hofbräuhaus in America.

There are more locations throughout the states now, but they can’t say they were the first!

2. Hofbrahaus has Great German Food

Who doesn’t love a giant pretzel served with “Obatzda” cheese, signature bier cheese, and sweet Bavarian mustard???!!!

Hofbräuhaus Newport also has plenty of Bavarian-style menu items to choose from.  A few of my favorites are the Pretzel Sandwich, Black and Bleu Steak Salad, Dunkel Bourbon Chicken, and the Bauern Schnitzel.

Sausage lovers will definitely want to try the Wurstplate with grilled bierwurst, bratwurst, and frankfurter served with mashed potatoes and imported sauerkraut.

3. Hofbrauhaus Newport has Plenty of Room for Your Friends…..Along with Plenty of Room for a Few New Ones

Perfect for large gatherings with friends or family, Hofbauhaus Newport has Bavarian Style tables inside and outside making it easier than the average restaurant to accommodate a large seating request.

The Bier Garden can seat 400 guests, the Inside Hall can seat 230 and you can enjoy a quieter dining experience in the Dining Hall which can seat up to 125.

We opted for The Bier Garden as the dining location for my husband’s 40th birthday dinner because it was so easy to accommodate a large group of family and friends in a family-friendly environment outside.
