It's better to buckle up because things are going to happen in Bavarian soon. Few menu items in the appetizer section excite more than the giant pretzel or pretzel bites. Immediately, you think of butter, salt and delicious warm pretzel bread. So you're speechless – you almost forgot the dip! Will it be cheesy beer cheese, hot mustard sauce, warm cream cheese or some sort of fourth option?

Keep reading and discover. If you are ready for a giant pretzel, here are several places in the metropolitan area of ​​Phoenix where you can buy one right now.

Huss Brewing Company

1520 West Mineral Road, Tempe

Located in the back corner of Uptown Plaza, this dining room of the Huss Brewing Company Brewery offers a well-stocked menu of local beers, wines and ciders, as well as a fairly decent selection of shareable dishes. At the top of the menu is the giant rustic pretzel. You can snatch hot pretzel pieces to soak them with a spicy brown mustard side. Or, for a little more, you can dip pieces into a queso of "magic" beer cheese. What's so magical? You will have to see for yourself.

Haus Murphy's

5739 West Glendale Avenue, Glendale

It is not surprising that Haus Murphy's in downtown Glendale has a fantastic giant pretzel. An overview of the Food Network, Haus Murphy's is an authentic German restaurant offering Bavarian choices every day, including the famous Original Oktoberfest pretzel. It's so well known that the "limited availability" warning is available, but if you can get one, it's good. The Oktoberfest salted pretzel of 10 ounces is itself imported from Germany. It is served with butter and spicy mustard. You can also buy a side of Haus cheese spread for a little extra.

Brat Haus

3622 North Scottsdale Road, Scottsdale

This seal at the German Scottsdale is known for bringing the Bavarian atmosphere into the old town. Once marked by the adorable Brat Haus Volkswagen minibus, Brat Haus offers the individual pretzel for one to two guests, or the giant pretzel, for six to ten people (or so to speak). The pretzel itself is baked and served with a cheese fondue with beer. Let's just say he gives the money to their beloved Belgian fries.

Old bakery of Heidelberg

2210 East Indian School Road

This place actually has a pretzel on the big green signpost on the north side of Indian School Road in Arcadia. The old Heidelberg bakery and the European market have existed since 1969 and belong to a family. They make some of the most legitimate pretzels in the city. The proposed forms of pretzels are the traditional pretzel twists, plus the horseshoe and the bun. The old Heidelberg bakery does not use sugar or additives because "the recipe is my grandfather's and we respect it," according to Emily from behind the counter. And if you miss the baking hours, the pretzels are on the two-door menu of the Helton Brewing Company.

The beer loft

4247 East Indian School Road, No. 102

If you want to see Arcadia from above, the Attic Ale House is for you. And if you want to cut down a delicious pretzel style appetizer, the attic is also your favorite place. The baked pretzel is plump, sinuous and fresh, sprinkled with salt and served with Dijon mustard cheese and beer. The list of beers can bring you, but the pretzel will make you come back.

Padre Murphy

4338 West Bell Road, Glendale

You think pretzel, you're probably thinking about beer, and then you're probably thinking about bars. Therefore, pretzels make excellent bar dishes. And one of the bars that does it well is Padre Murphy, established in 1993, in Glendale. The soft and salty ballpark pretzel is served with a creamy cheese and pepper dip. The bar also offers a standard salt pretzel, served with a spicy cheese sauce, priced at $ 4 during the cocktail hour.

Trumpet Ale House Angels

Multiple locations

This downtown location is known for three things: craft beer that can come from one of the 31 faucets, a trendy open-air bar and patio section, and this food menu. We recommend hot pretzel if you just want a snack. It's a big golden pretzel with a thin layer of salt. And as Angels Trumpet is the brewery, the place serves its hot pretzel with warm beer cheese made from four Sunbru Kolsch picks and spicy Dijon mustard.

Culinary dropout

Multiple locations

Everyone knows the pretzels of Culinary Dropout. They are spherical, sprinkled with sea salt, served with a hot and creamy cheese fondue, and quickly disappear. Pretzels and fondue are also on the happy hour menu. So you can not feel uncomfortable having a second order.

Kelly is in SouthBridge

7117 East Sixth Avenue, Scottsdale

This Scottsdale bar-restaurant has a cult, according to conversations with people in the city. Kelly's at SouthBridge also offers a fluffy pretzel, served with a homemade cheese fondue. Find it in the menu entries section. Pair it with a beer and a place on the patio.

Mustache pretzels

Multiple locations

Mustache Pretzels is a food truck and your snack right next to the plane – or something quick to grab before boarding. The fleet (two food trucks, a kiosk at the Phoenix Convention Center and a place at Sky Harbor Terminal 3) offers a small menu of pretzels in the shape of whiskers. There are flavored pretzels, bites, dogs and dips (think green chili queso, honey mustard and the irresistible option of cream cheese).

Edelweiss Biergarten

2625 East Bell Road

Also known as Edelweiss at Wagon Yard, Edelweiss Biergarten is spotted by its highly visible sign along Bell Road in the North Valley. This new Old World restaurant specializes in Hungarian and German cuisine. It offers dishes like potato knockwurst, wienerschnitzel and hors d'oeuvres like Opa's Favorite, as well as German gouda quarters with homemade cranberry sauce. They also have a giant pretzel with a cheese and beer sauce, and one of the biggest selections of German beer in town.
