"For the constant sunshine this town gets, our outdoor beer garden situation is fairly dire. But then there’s Red Lion Tavern, the old-school German restaurant in Silver Lake that all but makes up for our shortcomings. Hang inside for a bit, listen to the really old guy sing at the piano, then make your way out back to their beer garden, where one boot of beer becomes two boots, which becomes you convincing everyone you’re 100% German and a master of Bavarian folk dancing." - brant cox
