Löwenbräu Keller

Corner Playfair and Argyle Streets, +61 2 9247 7785. An authentic Bavarian German restaurant located in a convict-built cellar. Has a good vibe, usually with a combination of a visitor and local crowd, and usually a few noisy groups. Serves steins of a variety of beers in the German genre. If you want a sensible credit card bill at the end of the night, be careful not to get carried away with how many steins you have. They may taste good, and go down easily, but you'll be left with one serious bill to add to your headaches the next morning.
