Red Lion Tavern

Known for being a great bar and German restaurant , conveniently located across the street from Cha Cha Lounge , but it’s home to tasty brats and bockwurst. Their most popular plate, the sausage platter Read more

Sausage platter is a must try for any first-timer. Hofbräu on tap , and only in a liter mug/stein, otherwise it doesn't count as a beer . Dog friendly patio .

If you have trouble choosing which sausage to order, your best bet is the mixed platter, with a selection of faultless bratwurst , knackwurst and lightly smoked bockwurst. Read more

This restaurant has a lot of character. I loved that the sections are so distinct: the indoor is kind of dive-y, the secluded patio is themed, & the larger patio is covered by trees and has views

Opened in 1959 as an Old English pub . It became a kitschy German tavern opened by the owners of Cole’s in 1963.

Plenty of German beer on tap . There’s a dining room and an outdoor beer garden . German food is decent. Stick to the sausages . Small park lot. They check ids.

Second runner-up is the fragrant Nürnberger Bratwurst , made heady with earthy marjoram. One taste might take you back to the old country , even if you've never been there. Read more

First timers? German potato-pancake for vegetarians and 1/2 sausage platter and 1/2 cheese platter . Really hungry? Fried chicken dinner is the bomb diggitty.

Love this place on a warm summer day. Tends to get super busy on Friday and Saturday nights. Know what you want as soon as you sit down as you may not see your waitress for awhile.

Great German food ! Upstairs outdoor patio reminded me of Sachsenhausen in Frankfurt, where I used to go many years ago! Good German Bier list & they have Appfelkorn!

Great German beer menu , big COVID patio , beer garden and two other bars .

Überlegit German joint. Superlative rooftop beer garden . Potato pancakes , fried pickles and vegetarian bratwurst will knock your socks off. Their carnivorous fare is apparently delightful too. A+

The hands down best traditional German food in Los Angeles. Get a stein (or two) and start crushing some brats

Check out Red Lion Tavern as it was featured on Best Bars in America for Around since the 50's. A great Trivia night with a local bar feel. Read more

Head up to the beer garden for a fantastic evening! If you have more than two people in your party, you can order a beer in a giant glass boot!

I love the Beer selection and you have to try the sausage platter !!! Elle is the best server ever, super friendly and very attentive.

Boiled potato is probably one of the least appetizing names you could give something but it is fucking delicious!!! Mix with some sauerkraut and red cabbage .

A nice foil to Cha Cha across the street. Chill , never really too crowded . A great crowd shows up for trivia on Monday nights.

Really great German beers on tap . Also really good mustard !

Weisswurst plate of veal and pork bratwurst , süsser semf (sweet mustard ), sauerkraut , mashed potatoes . Delicious!

Amazing bratwurst . Sauerkraut is good but I always prefer the red cabbage . Sit on the patio , order a pitcher . Enjoy.

I'm from Austria and I must say that this beer garden makes me feel like at home. The wooden tables , the decoration, the glasses, the beers and the food - AUTHENTIC! Try the Red Lion Schnitzel . Yummy!

Head to this over 50-year-old neighborhood tavern for German beers , sausages , spätzle , and other German fare. Skip the burger .

Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. Their generous portions of brat will make you blush, and the lederhosen-clad staff faithfully pour Köstritzer. Try them both.

Weisswurst plate of break and pork bratwurst , süsser semf (sweet mustard ), sauerkraut , mashed potatoes . Delicious!

Amazingly authentic German food and beer in a cozy outdoor beer garden .

Sit upstairs and outside. The sausage sampler is great! Get a side of sauerkraut and spatzle .

The bier garden in back is a lot of fun and the food is great

German food , outdoor seating , beer , boom, what more could you want?

Very typical good German beer place, with good food and good choice of beers .

The Weisswurst with Sauerkraut and Spätzle was amazing. The menu alone was mouthwatering!

Damn fine German beers and a great weekend scene. The prices are fair too.

German beer , in a German atmosphere!!

Weisswurst is all you need. Lunch portion is just one sausage but it's a fatty, so don't worry

Pilsner are good and you can order half sausage and cheese platter .

Smoking patio and bar upstairs makes it worth it, good apps

Nice ambient, better pretzels . I would rather have the Weißwurst boiled, but they are good anyway :P

Ask them to play ring of fire and light the bar on fire!!! So awesome!!! This bar rocks !! Saw them first on My Fox LA

Their potato pancakes are super tasty! A must-have dish!

If you didn't know- they have a small parking lot ! also- Go upstairs and there's a huge outdoor patio .

Jesse is a stellar server, sporting both smarts and a smile. She makes the Red Lion Tavern all the better!!

If waiting in line for the Matterhorn at Disneyland were a bar , The Red Lion would be it. Also, there's this: http://youtu.be/BlLCkGCbvpw

a lively tavern, a dark stone drinking hole and a vine-covered outdoor beer garden .

Sausage platter , cheese platter , goulash and potato pancakes ! Also, Hofbrau & Franziskaner!!

Vegan sausages . Live music . Giant boot-glass full of beer . Questions?

Great biergarten atmosphere upstairs! Potato pancakes are awesome.

Feels like you stepped into Narnia when you visit the beer garden upstairs

You must try the sausage platter and dont forget the beer boot! Your welcome
