"I learned the team behind Hollywood’s Wirtshaus and the Long Beach Rasselbock are bringing their biergarten concept to Mar Vista under the name Rasselbock; a tip said it will open in mid-January, while German-born owners Bjoern Risse and Bülent Yildirim estimate mid-2019 as a possible opening date. The company took over the shuttered former modern gastropub Louie’s Of Mar Vista and construction is well underway, and the forthcoming location sits only steps from David Kuo’s Little Fatty and the Accomplice bar. The partners are carrying over the same indoor/outdoor biergarten format and a menu that goes far beyond currywurst—meat platters, vegetables, spätzle, potato pancakes, and an entire section dedicated to schnitzel—plus countless German beers served in pints or massive boots; the spots are typically dog-friendly and often have sports TVs." - Mona Holmes
