"Red Lion Tavern isn’t just our favorite German beer garden on the Eastside, it’s one of our favorite hangout spots in LA, period. There are few experiences as enjoyable as sitting out on the back patio, ordering a sausage sampler, and drinking boots of beer until you actually think you’re in Germany. If the outdoor beer garden becomes too much (it does get crowded), head inside to the dark downstairs lounge that hosts everything from bingo nights to stand-up to Marlene Dietrich tribute acts.
