Kentucky might not be the first place that comes to mind when it comes to German cuisine and culture, but we have some deep German roots that can especially be felt in the northern region of the state. Cincinnati, Ohio, is a place with a proud German heritage, and just across the river in Northern Kentucky, Covington’s MainStrasse Village is a collection of restaurants and shops that feels like something straight from the Old Country. Within this historic, cobblestone-lined neighborhood, you’ll find some of the best German restaurants in the region, and Wunderbar! certainly ranks at the top of the list. This neighborhood restaurant boasts house-made sausages, frothy ales, and other nibbles, including some of the most delicious and authentic German pretzels in Kentucky.

Wunderbar! is a delightful little neighborhood pub in the historic MainStrasse district of Covington, Kentucky.
