Abe Erb Brewery/Restaurant

will have more Dec 1, 8, 12

Good. I'd planned on going on the 2nd or 3rd.

My only criticism is the seating.  If sitting at the big long "mess hall" type tables it would be expected to have others right beside you.  Sitting at your own table though, we only had MAYBE 12" between the tables and felt very much like we had no space to ourselves.

It's customary in most German et al restaurants to seat more than one party at the same table, especially when busy. This especially true in beer halls with long "mess hall" type tables. No one goes to such establishments for "intimacy." If that's the atmosphere Abe is trying to create then caveat potator.

But your comment reminds me of the days of smoking and non-smoking sections in restaurants. We'd ask for non-smoking and get a table 12" from the first table in the smoking section
