The Rathskeller - Indianapolis, IN

The Rathskeller is Indy's oldest restaurant, open since 1894. The place is chock full of German-style bric-a-brac, and there's an outdoor beer garden. The schnitzel, a wide, thick cutlet of breaded pork, is well-prepared. There is a wonderful selection of German brews to choose from, many of them on tap.
