Caps fans, are you travelling to Pittsburgh for the Winter Classic? Looking for a Caps-centric, cheap, beer-filled good time on New Year's Eve? Have I got the solution for you!
Join Caps News Network, Japers Rink and Hogs Haven at the Hofbrauhaus in Pittsburgh New Year's Eve to ring in the new year before the Winter Classic. There's NO COVER, no frills, no effort; just show up and drink with tons of other Washington Capitals fans in a friendly, non-hostile atmosphere.
We don't want any Caps fans wandering the streets of Pittsburgh New Year's Eve in search of entertainment, that's for sure.
The Hofbrauhaus is a large venue with live music, just one mile from downtown Pittsburgh (a very short cab ride from the downtown hotels), and offers a HUGE selection of fantastic, homemade beer. Best of all, there's NO COVER. You pay for what you consume, that's it! You've already shilled out a month's salary for your ticket and transportation, no need to get gouged again paying to go to a party!
And you never know, we may just have a surprise or two up our sleeve.
Hope to see you at the Hofbrauhaus on New Year's Eve!

I don't know what Hofbrau told you, but that place is packed on an average Saturday night in Pittsburgh. I've been there as recently as a few months ago and not only is it packed, but it's packed with some raging douchebags. Yes, the beer is great and the food is good too but really it's a terrible spot to gather any sort of large group because there's often a line outside the door. You're better off finding a bar off the beaten path.
thanks for the note. we checked with the bar and they are expecting us. hopefully things are better than what you experienced.
Well, they're from PIT so of course they're raging douchebags.
I was there a couple years ago and it was a good time. It does get quite packed. (What good bar isn't).
Interesting readd
