Whether it’s a good drink, a delicious meal, or a tasty treat, you can find the perfect pick-me-up at one of our local establishments.

Looking to raise a glass? Eisenadler Brauhaus (opens in a new tab) , Montgomery County’s first craft brewery, boasts a stable of traditional German beers, including Oktoberfest (6.0 ABV), hefeweizen (5.6 ABV), pilsner (5.5 ABV), and bock (6.0 ABV), all served in a warm, inviting atmosphere. Before you head out, be sure to check out their social media for special events, musical performances and much more.

Need a complete meal? Lorenzo’s Southside (opens in a new tab) , a fourth-generation family run business, bills itself as “a family operation from start to finish — in the kitchen, in the dining room and on the business end.” Open six days per week, the menu builds off the family’s deep Italian roots, with homemade pastas and other classic dishes, as well as homemade bread and the family’s legendary salad dressing. But what really makes mouths water is the authentic Neapolitan pizza – cooked in a 900-degree, imported wood-burning oven.

Craving a sweet treat? Open Tuesdays to Sundays, Rosito’s Bakery (opens in a new tab) is stocked with a delightful selection of delicacies. Made daily using the freshest ingredients, Rosito’s not only serves pastries, but also boasts a full deli, and a professional cake artist that can prepare specialty cakes for your next event.

These are just a few of the many great restaurants, tap-rooms and bakeries that proudly call Montgomery County home. To learn more about the dining experiences you can have, check out the complete list on our website (opens in a new tab) .
