In a neighborhood originally settled by German immigrants you’d think there would be some great places for German food and libation. You’d be right, and one of the best is Max’s. The atmosphere is like walking into a gone-by era, a great old neighborhood tavern since 1903. But people come for the authentic German dishes and Bavarian beers. We can’t spell anything on the menu, but trust us, it’s all great. If you’re indecisive get the platter, and wash it down with a Köstritzer Schwarzbier … but don’t get your lederhosen in twist about proper glassware, it all comes in a mason jar.
