"The team behind Hollywood’s Wirtshaus and sister concept Rasselbock in Long Beach are taking their biergarten brainchild to Mar Vista. It’ll be named Rasselbock, and opens in mid-January. Parent company German Gastro Management opened Wirsthaus on La Brea in 2011, and then Rasselbock Long Beach in late 2016. The partners installed an indoor/outdoor biergarten with a menu that goes far beyond currywurst, with meat platters, vegetables, spätzle, potato pancakes, and an entire section dedicated to schnitzel. There’s countless options for German beer served in pints or massive boots, and is typically dog-friendly with sports TVs." - Mona Holmes
