The chewy goodness of soft pretzels is celebrated during the entire month of April, designated National Soft Pretzel Month. Whether you like yours simply prepared with butter and salt, sweet with toppings like cinnamon sugar and vanilla icing, or savory with crab or other additions, you're sure to find many varieties that will please your palate.
Our real estate agents suggest heading to the following five restaurants to enjoy a soft pretzel appetizer:
- Crossbar Der Biergarten- 18 E. Cross St., Baltimore, MD 21230
The atmosphere is fun at Crossbar Der Biergarten, and it gets even more lively when Bayern Munich plays since the restaurant is an official supporters club. Every game is televised and celebrated with beer specials. You'll have your choice of several pretzel dishes, including the original served with house-made pretzel mustard and your choice of dipping sauce and house-made bier cheese. Interesting options are also available, including pretzels with cinnamon sugar and house-made vanilla icing or ones enhanced with Everything Bagel seasoning and served with house-made dill and onion cream cheese dip. You'll find Crossbar located near Baltimore homes for sale.
- Das Bierhalle - 9527 Harford Rd., Parkville, MD 21234
Located in the heart of Baltimore County near Parkville homes for sale, Das Bierhalle is the area's first German beer hall. The spacious and colorful establishment has plenty of soft pretzel varieties to enjoy as you start with your choice of a giant or king size. Flavor options include cinnamon sugar, crab, spinach artichoke, Philly steak, and shepherd's pie. From there, you can choose from a long list of creative dipping sauces such as jalapeno raspberry jam, chili lime crema, mushroom demi-glace, and lemon caper aioli.
- Rathskeller - 5782 Main St., Elkridge, MD 21075
Located near Patapsco State Park and Howard County homes for sale, Rathskeller uses ingredients from several local vendors and takes great pride in their food. Meats are fresh, never frozen, and sauces are made from scratch. Soft pretzels are handmade by an Army vet who learned to make them in Germany after his service. Order the simple but delicious Hank's Butter Pretzel, sprinkled with salt and served with butter sauce, or try the Crab Pretzel, which features cheesy crab dip melted on top of Hank's Pretzel.
- Bavarian Brauhaus - 7304 Parkway Dr. S, Hanover, MD 21076
Bavarian Brauhaus, located just around the corner from Hanover homes for sale, serves authentic German-American cuisine rooted in traditions of the old country. Enjoy a crab soft pretzel or a soft pretzel with mustard and bourbon bacon cheddar sauce as part of your lunch or during happy hour. In addition to the food and drink, the restaurant is worth visiting to listen to the weekly music and to see their Bavarian-made piano that's over 85 years old.
- Pratt Street Ale House - 206 W. Pratt St., Baltimore, MD 21201
You'll find Pratt Street Ale House at Baltimore's Inner Harbor, making it the perfect stop if you're visiting this bustling area.
