Resi's Bierstube is another holdout in the old German neighborhood on North Lincoln.

Opening the door across from the Bierstube reveals a railing that overlooks the two-story, drafty, old boiler room complete with twisting pipes and a small, entirely brick wine cellar.

The basement houses the Bierstube, a tap room designed in Germany.

At Altstadt, if you look past the thick bierstube tables and the steins holding the silverware, what you have is a joint that mirrors the other sports bars along this historic strip, complete with the ubiquitous brick walls, splintered floor and lots of TVs.

Political fans can visit a museum about Willy Brandt, the former German chancellor, who was born in Lübeck, while those with a literary bent can explore museums devoted to Thomas Mann, another native son, and Günter Grass, who has lived in the region since the 1980s, and has been known to occasionally pop into Buthman’s Bierstube, which served its first drink in 1697, on Glockengiesserstrasse.
