Schnitzelhaus
According to Mike Jacobi, Co-Owner and Manager of Schnitzelhaus, loyal patrons regularly come from 60 miles around northwest Tampa to enjoy an authentic German lunch or dinner. "Germans who come to my restaurant from Germany," says Mike, "like some of my beers better than the beers that they can get at home in Germany."
Schnitzelhaus offers 15 different German beers and live music on weekends. Call in advance to make reservations. For a table of four, call one or two days in advance; for a table of more than four, call one or more weeks in advance. Dress is casual.

Tank's Tap Room
