Essen Haus Restaurant and Bar is a cozy gem in downtown Madison that brings Germany to your plate! 🌭 The Meaterwurst platter was a hit - enough for two and bursting with flavor. The chunky fries paired perfectly, and while the beers come in giant glasses, I’d skip the Wiener schnitzel next time.

The live polka music on Friday nights adds a delightful touch to the atmosphere, making it fun for families and groups alike. Their fair prices make it a fantastic choice for a casual night out. Can't wait to return! 🎶
