Despite the frilly connotations, this sausage-and-beer haven's name refers not to doilies, but to the layers of foam that remain in the glass after your craft brew has been quaffed. You’ll also have plenty of time to study the lace curtains as you plow through their vast beer menu—go ahead and try a different one with each of your Bangers.

This is finger food for the most part, as seen in the sweet and savory German-style bratwurst, tucked between slices of brioche and topped with caramelized onions, sauerkraut, and Bavarian mustard. A salt-freckled, crusty pretzel may then be enriched with creamy Welsh rarebit for a sumptuous balance. Smoked Thuringer laced with Swiss cheese and pickled currants is yet another instance of this kitchen's flavor prowess.
