What People Are Saying About Gordon Biersch
Featured Review

In Short – Airy, industrial decor lends a lighter, more urban feel to Gordon Biersch than most beer halls. The bar may get crowded after 5pm, when a happy-hour crowd hoists a few pints of seasonal Bavarian-influenced beers. A menu of fusion and New American dishes include beer-friendly offerings like shrimp and chicken pot stickers, Moroccan-spiced lamb chops and the signature garlic french fries.
Editor's Tips
- What to Drink:
- The seasonal beer menu has three constants: a hoppy pilsner; an auburn, slightly sweet marzen; and a malty, dark dunkles. True to German form, centuries-old "purity" laws are followed, meaning only hops, barley, yeast and water are used.
- The Extras:
- Gordon Biersch specializes in hosting large parties. Call ahead for details.

awesome beer

I don't really care for the food here. It's ok. But the beer is great. I have trouble making up my mind so it's fun to get the sampler. You get 7 or 8 sample size beers. The garlic fries are so stinky! Man they load them up with garlic. Last time I was there I had the hummus salad with salmon. It was pretty good. The hummus wasn't spectacular but the salmon was good. I would probably just stick to the beer though.
