What to Expect
“We’ve been here twice now and love it. Great food, good service, a ton of options for drinks and definitely a dog friendly place (with a dog menu). This time we had a cubano and a SoCal wrap with fries. Those fries are bomb! Highly recommend.”

“Came here with a friend on Easter Sunday around 9:30 PM and had a great experience overall. It was pretty mellow for a holiday night with just a handful of people there with plenty of seating both inside, outside, and at the bar. We ended up grabbing seats at the bar, which was a great choice. We ordered the: •Fig Burger with Brussels Sprouts: the Brussels sprouts were phenomenal. They had what tasted like pecans, some kind of glaze, and cheese… seriously so good. The Fig Burger itself was just as impressive with such a unique combo and absolutely delicious. •Steak Sandwich with Onion Rings: this was also a standout. Perfectly cooked, super flavorful, and came with a great dipping sauce that really tied it all together. The onion rings were crispy and on point too. First off, I love that they offer a variety of sides (sweet potato fries, truffle fries, mac & cheese, Brussels sprouts, etc.), though most come with a small upcharge. We had a few drinks and even grabbed a bottle of wine from the bar to take back to our Airbnb, which was a nice bonus. The vibe was relaxed with TVs playing highlights from a basketball game, and the bartender/server was awesome. Parking was easy with free street parking, though that might’ve been because it was late and a holiday. Only heads up: definitely call ahead about kitchen and closing times, especially on holidays. Online said they close at midnight, but they were actually closing at 11 PM. We were told over the phone the kitchen closed at 9:45 PM, but when we arrived at 9:30 PM, it had just switched to last call. Thankfully, they were kind enough to still get our order in. Overall, phenomenal food, great service, and a solid spot worth checking out. Would definitely come back.”

“During COVID 2020 and the pandemic got to sit and dine at the Bier Garden and it was well worth the wait. Having a place with sidewalk dining and a large patio was great because they were still able to comfortably sit a lot of parties spaced out for our safety. The first time we dined there was on the patio and the second time was on the large patio. I love the quaint and cozy feel of the neighbourhood and the ambiance of the restaurant. Our servers both time despite being swamped were courteous and helpful and made fabulous recommendations. The menu is great and has such delicious and fresh items. Their patio is also dog friendly. Our baby girl, Princess Zelda, goes most places with us so venues have to be. They have an extensive beer list and a great drink selection, too. Haven't been back to restaurant since 2021 but | definitely need to especially since they made it through the pandemic.”
