Schnitzel, pretzels and beer!
German restaurant Schmidt’s Brauhaus is scheduled to open downtown this fall, serving regional favorites, including sausages, schnitzels and pretzels in a 7,000-square-foot space at Olympic Boulevard near Olive Street. There will be a biergarten separate from the dining area. Also, a new supper club called First & Hope is scheduled to open in the fall — at 1st and Hope streets — with “modern American comfort food,” according to a release. Schmidt’s Brauhaus, 330 W.
