  Paulaner is the most successful German restaurant chain in Shanghai and boasts three grandiose outlets on both sides of the Huangpu, including one in Xintiandi (although that one's mainly for tourists). All your standard German dishes are available herein–- schnitzels, sausage platters, et. al. -- as well as Paulaner's own brand of beer, which comes in wheat and lager. Paulaner is known for said beer and it's even available in selected convenience stores around town.
  
  A good venue for larger groups, Paulaner turns into a good old fashion beer fest on the weekends with much drunken revelry and horrible dancing -- especially the one in Xintiandi, which hosts Filipino cover bands.
  
  The outlets on Fenyang Lu and Pudong offer great outdoor seating, and the more standard German beer garden experience (patio seating at the Xintiandi outlet is pretty negligible).
  
  Like all German restaurants, a meal at Paulaner isn't cheap, but if you're looking for dependable German food, good beer, and a good tipsy time, this Brauhaus is a safe bet.
