modeled Wilson Street Dinner Theater. The building is bestknown as the site of the original Hoffman House, whichwas considered to be one of the best dining places inMadison in the 1940s and 1950s.The building is also part of the historic Germania Hotel

built in 1863, the first to be built in the 500 block of EastWilson Street. The hotel is believed to have offered quar-ters to German immigrants new to the Madison area.Much of the original decor is revealed in the wooden

floors and brick entryways. The Essen Haus is decoratedwith antique pieces, including one of the original cherry-wood back bars from the Fauerbach Brewery, wine barrels

made by Confederate German immigrants and a grand col-lection of bier steins and pilsners. The bar and oversizedwooden booths overlook the stage area for nightly liveoompah music.Your Essen Haus experience promises to be filled with

good times, good food and good drinks. Gutes Essen undGemutltichkeit - Good eating in an atmosphere of warmth
