Schroeder's

For most of its history, Schroeder’s Bavarian beer hall catered only to men. Like others of its age, the original restaurant, established in 1893, was lost to a fire following the 1906 earthquake but even after its reconstruction in the Financial District, women were unwelcome until the 1970s. Today all genders make merry at the recently remodeled Schroeder’s, featuring a new facade and communal seating and their menu still offers some of the best German food and drinks around including a variety of “wursts” and schnitzels and the mother of all beer options, “das boot.”
