[media-credit id=6747 align="alignright" width="199"][/media-credit]Imagine taking a great restaurant in Germany and a mediocre sports bar in Philadelphia and then smashed them against each other until schnitzel came out. This is Brauhaus Schmitz. The minute you walk into Brauhaus Schmitz,

you’ve entered an alternate universe that combines an Americanized, SportsCenter–watching, cheesy–outfit–wearing ambience with authentic German food, alcohol and decor. This collision of culture, epitomized by the female waitstaff, who serve food while wearing revealing and cheap German costumes, is off–putting for anyone seeking an authentic or romantic experience. While Brauhaus is

unable to escape the touristy feel of its neighboring South Street restaurants, the food is authentic and unique.
