nice terrace out front with fans. Quick service. Decent range of German beers mostly from Munich breweries but also a couple of interesting ones. You can use the free wifi from Starbucks next door

In a city with very few places to knock back a few tasties, this one tends to shine. It’s got a clear focus. The service is impressive. They are attentive without being creepy, and they offer fresh glasses after each. I appreciated the selection--they had several Bavarian oddities including the Hopf beers and a few others that Oakes and I hadn’t even tried yet. Only two taps, it would be nice to see more in the future. We sat outside, on the very comfortable patio furniture. Several ladies were here solo and so it’s a very comfortable place. But it’s not a good place for people watching, it’s in a brand new development that feels sterile and fabricated. Starbucks is right next door, it’s a very new urban development feel with manufactured "community." The bar interior has a sort of trendy environment with sofas and colorful cushions. All in all I’d go back because the Animator was tasty.

Small mall-based German bar. They have mostly stuff from the Paulaner family. The selection is pretty big as these German places go, and they have a beer of the month so the selection rotates around a little bit. Probably one of the better German bars for that reason. Attentive service.
