August 25, 201115 yr Looks like my favorite place to drink German Brews is in some hot water: http://nky.cincinnati.com/article/AB/20110824/NEWS0103/308240073/Hofbrauhaus-faces-fines-liquor-license-suspension?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|FRONTPAGE And it sounds to me they need to look into their security operations a little better as well.
August 25, 201115 yr I think it's fair to say that they were getting a tad bit frustrated with all the people stealing their mugs. Simple solution, require a deposit. If mug not returned, charge the card.
August 25, 201115 yr Author I think it's fair to say that they were getting a tad bit frustrated with all the people stealing their mugs. Simple solution, require a deposit. If mug not returned, charge the card. Agreed. If they're reporting 150-200 stolen each week, that's got to be, what, at least $600 a week (conservatively) lost in stolen property? I can tell you one problem that I've seen more and more down there, though, is the fact that their staff doesn't cut off intoxicated, or even the extremely intoxicated patrons. They are way too lax with that.

August 25, 201115 yr The Kentucky Alcoholic Beverage Control Board needs to be more concerned with how the bouncers treat patrons at neighobring Arnie's in my personal opinion...and I'll just leave my comments at that and say that I refuse to go there.

They do a MUCH better job policing the place than almost any of the other bars in the area.

August 25, 201115 yr After reading the last several posts I have to ask, what's the deal with NKY? I don't see any of these issues with anything near regularity in the Highlands.
August 25, 201115 yr Author After reading the last several posts I have to ask, what's the deal with NKY? I don't see any of these issues with anything near regularity in the Highlands. It's all of those people coming over from the north side of the big wet idiot ditch.
August 25, 201115 yr Agreed. If they're reporting 150-200 stolen each week, that's got to be, what, at least $600 a week (conservatively) lost in stolen property?The article says the steins cost the Hofbrau $5.00 each and are re-sold for $15.95 with a meal. So, if those numbers (150-200/week) are true, theft is costing them anywhere from $39,000 to $52,000 each year in inventory loss and $85,800 to $114,400 in potential profit.
August 25, 201115 yr People go to Arnies? Not me, I refuse to visit the establishment. Been there twice in my life. But I know a lot of that do, or used too at least. We had a buddy who was a manager there (free drinks) and that still wouldn't lure me there.
