Red Lion Tavern
Los Angeles, CA 90039
Mentioned in the Following Guides
A classic Bavarian bar with bratwurst that will have you coming back again and again – and each time a little more plump and a little more jolly.
Do you like beer? (Yes.)
How about sausage? (Yes.)
Waitresses in German Beer Wnch dresses? (Yes!!)
And what about enjoying all of this OUTDOORS? (OH, GOD, YES!)
Well, you can at Silverlake’s Red Lion Tavern. Their beer garden is enclosed in vines and decorated with wacky German characters and nice touches like a fountain. It’s popular every night of the year in temperate Los Angeles, but just in case it’s chilly, they do have some of those handy outdoor heaters.
The beer garden at the Red Lion is a good place to start making new friends to help you carry stuff. I recommend zeroing in on the tallest and strongest looking (bonus if you saw him pull up in a truck) and working your way down to the less athletic looking guys (or gals).

A German beer on a patio served by a pretty indie rock beer wench (is that offensive?) and a sausage platter. Heavenly.
