Ghouls Rush In

enjoy the spookiest day of the year.

The Ratskeller is serving a special brunch, including some really nasty Bavarian-style Halloween delicacies, such as Quasimodo Knödl, Transylvanian duck, Loch Ness smoked salmon, zombie mushrooms and Frankenstein’s genetically modified laboratory vegetables.
