The Hofbrauhaus has called West Springfield home off of Memorial Avenue since 1935. Current owner Joe Stevens took over operations in 1995. Since Joe has taken over, he has made a lot of changes. Now, not only does the Hofbrauhaus offer German cuisine, it also boasts a more International menu, appealing to even more pallets. In addition to the daily menu changes, Joe also added a banquet menu, which Melissa proudly heads up the department. She truly refers to herself as a “Jack of all Trades” or… should we say “Jane”. She is in charge of all the marketing; from TV to radio and booking of the private parties. She is always challenged on how to be creative with the marketing to be sure they stand out.
The Hofbrauhaus is celebrating their 75th anniversary this year, and in tribute to this milestone event, Joe is offering the $19.35 menu to their patrons as a thank you! A definite DO NOT MISS!
One thing the Hofbrauhaus is well known for is its Sunday brunches… we’ve all been there at least once, am I right? Now, don’t get too upset when I say this, but Joe has decided to do away with the Sunday brunches, WAIT! I said not to get upset… he may have taken something away, but he is giving us something in place of it… On Sundays, from 12:noon until 8:PM, The Hofbrauhaus will be offering “Family Dinners”. It will be a great way to get the family together. There will be four or five entrees, and it will all be served “family style”. SEE! Not so bad, right?
The Hofbrauhaus is known for its “fine dining”. Joe goes above and beyond regarding the quality of food he purchases for the restaurant. He is extremely picky and they receive meat and seafood in on a daily basis. Joe makes sure to keep things local by getting as much locally grown produce as possible. He is also picky when it comes to his staff. The chefs on board truly take pride in their work.
The Hofbrauhaus has many private rooms to choose from if you are looking to hold a private function at the facility, and, get this; there is no charge for the room!! “GO JOE!” From buffet to cocktail style, they will be sure to fit any budget.
Future plans… Joe will be extending the main bar and adding an outdoor area. WooHoo! It will still have the fine dining feel. It will be covered as well as heated. They are looking to begin construction on this project in the next couple of months. The outdoor patio will be open for lunch, dinner as well as private parties such as showers.
If you have never paid the Hofbrauhaus a visit… now is the time. They have a wonderful atmosphere, great food, and attentive wait staff. If you are thinking of booking a private party, be sure to contact Melissa… she will be more than happy to accommodate you and fit your needs and budget perfectly. Her number is 413-737-4905 email: mkratovil@ hofbrauhaus.org 1105 Main Street, West Springfield (right off the Memorial Avenue rotary).
Melissa, thank you, and we are definitely looking forward to christening that outdoor patio of yours!!
