Whether stopping in for a full meal or simply pairing a favorite pour with a satisfying bite, The Glunz Tavern guests will find a thoughtful menu of tavern classics inspired by the warmth and conviviality of old-world European beer halls. At the heart of the experience is the Tavern’s oversized Bavarian pretzel — deeply bronzed, perfectly salted, and served warm with house mustards and rich beer cheese — designed for lingering conversations and sharing around the table.🥨🍺
