Bia Garden

Worst food I’ve ever had. Truly. The pretzel was stupid. That’s the only way to describe it. Also, I ordered the fennel and pear salad. They brought me a beet salad. Told them it was wrong. They took it back. Then brought the same beet salad back like it had magically transformed into something else. Then they brought it back to the table AGAIN. I was so hungry by that point I just said whatever and took the beet salad. It wasn’t good. The whole place is a mess.

The place is lovely and wait staff is great but the beer is average and the food is way too expensive for me to return. A tiny pretzel costs $5.

Great beer! Great atmosphere!

GREAT VIBES LOL all of the stars are for the vibes and ambiance; will definitely return just for that since it's a great, spacious place to sit and chill with friends over drinks. Can't really speak to much about the sausages and big plates, although we did share a couple things. I honestly think there's so much more to do with the menu so I hope it evolves; the menu is coming off as a high-end grill, with things like a .. filet mignon and fritto misto? I guess lol will definitely come back, but mostly for drinks.

I love this place so much. You can see how thoughtful they were with planning the space and construction and details and materials. Truly a gorgeous place to be in. Also the menu, beer, wine, food, all so well done. We got the schnitzel, mackerel, sauerkraut, cucumber and potato salad, eggplant, birthday cake. All was super delicious. We often eat fish at restaurants and struggle with it and we were so happy and surprised to see chopsticks. The cucumber and potato salad was flavored perfectly. The mackerel was amazing. The only critical feedback was the schnitzel was the least exciting when usually fried food is my favorite. It was almost too thin as if I was mostly eating breaded parts and flavor felt very mild. Maybe a tad more salt or garlic? Anyway, just my 2 cents if helpful. A 5 out of 5 overall. Really excited to bring more family and friends.

The 4 stars is for atmosphere, the nice October weather and our friendly server that took our order. I think I'll go an unofficial 3 stars on the rest. Street parking is tough but across sunset and jaywalking works out. They have valet, but that's not for me. There isn't anyone to greet you or tell you how it works. I think you can either order at the little window or sit, or you can grab a menu , sit, flag a server and get it done tableside. I laughed when she described the food options. "Schnitzel with a side of lemon." Lemon isn't a side, so a big ol' flat piece of breaded pork on a plate, nothing else, ok. "What do you suggest as a side?" I asked. "The local favorite salad is the daikon, and it is raw, seasoned with salt and pepper." You know, I think the locals have forgotten what food is. We split an enormous pork schnitzel and a scoop of potato salad. Both very tasty, I mean the food was really good, it was just served so un-German-ly or even un -Asian fusion or whatever we're going for here. I need some sauce and some sides, not just a plate of meat. Here is what I would do. Rather than give you a pizza sized piece of pork for $36, split it in half and fill the other side of the plate with that scoop of potato salad and a pile of that dry daikon. I feel sure that whoever fried this tasty pork can make some kind of sauce for it. If we can't get a nice chicken fried steak gravy or maybe a mustard sauce, then just something to give it a little wet, please. Some review described this as a work in progress, I kind of get that. I don't mind paying table side in advance, but an 18/20/25% tip structure on people dropping off food to your table on a patio with no heaters in sight? I wish you'd started with 10%, no one checked in and we had to get our own water. The Oktoberfest beer was solid though. Good luck.

A hidden gem in Angelino Heights that you don't want to miss out on. If you can't find parking, they do have valet, which made it so convenient. The outdoor beer garden offers a lot of seating, shade and some great vibes. A perfect place to bring a bunch of friends to grab some food and enjoy some beer (brewed on the property). We all enjoyed some amazing beers and we ordered quite a few things on the menu to try. Everything was delicious, I was very impressed. Most of the time breweries don't really have the best food, but this one had amazing food! Service was prompt and very friendly. I got a blonde brew and it was so good and refreshing. We ordered: - 3 in a bun - Filet Mignon - breaded pork cutlets - Fennel and Pear Salad All very tasty! I definitely recommend coming by and checking this gem out. Cheers!!

Really lovely communal space. The pork schnitzel is amazing. It's easy for big groups, kids and dogs.

A total gem. A magical outdoor Alsatian ski lodge vibe in Echo Park - heated Ben he's, flannel blankets, wooden tables, trees and ale. The pear and fennel salad. The fish soup. These are all terrific. I love the pay as you go. So no one ends up stuck with the tab. Service is excellent. The food is great and the ambiance is the BEST. This is such a good spot for a group. It is the move.

What a beautiful outdoor space. Love the chill and laidback vibe here! I'm not usually a fan of mackerel but this is unlike anything I've had! Not fishy, delicious and a must try. You can order at the counter or wait for someone to come to your table. Everyone is friendly. Valet only. Kid and pet friendly. Very popular spot on Saturdays!

Wonderful family friendly place but PLEASE add fries on the menu for kids and everyone!

This place is the most stunning secret for only the moment in my neighborhood of Echo Park. The garden and the beer is delicious. I did not eat the food as of yet but will return stop there on a walk in 105° LA uncomfortable weather, and went into this absolute paradise as you go up the stairs to beautiful. Food looks fantastic. Can't wait to return.

Loved the ambiance! A bit pricey for what it is, but the service was great and the food was good! The very chill vibe and all outdoor seating is such a welcome addition to the neighborhood. Loved.

It's great for a large group gathering. It's all outdoor seating, I love that they provide flannel blankets and have heat lamps.

WOW! This place is a gem!! I am German and moved to Los Angeles 6 years ago and have never been able to find authentic German food!! This place was 10/10! The owner is German and makes the beer and food from scratch!! The Radler was amazing, bratwurst was very authentic, unreal potato salad the list goes on and on! The potato noodles are a must!! Highly recommend for the vibes and ambiance as well! I will be back!

I've been in Echo Park for over 20 years and have seen places come and go. Bia is here to stay. The ambiance and food and details are a welcome addition to the neighborhood.

Can't rate the menu because we were completely ignored for 20 minutes. Wasn't very busy, servers made eye contact but nothing. Won't be back.

Such a beautiful and cool space! So happy to have a new spot in the neighborhood! the lemon soda water was a great N/A option as well!

what a huge disappointment... i live close by and have been waiting for this place to open for years. we went with some friends and it was so sad. the atmosphere was honestly incredible! the patio is beautiful in every way. if you're just coming for a beer and good vibes this is it! but don't get too thirsty because a cup of water is $3!!!! It's confusing when you first walk in as there is no clear instruction or service as to tell you where to sit. The wait staff were friendly but we had to flag them down a few times in order to receive service. the food was honestly so bad!! tasteless, bland, boring, and so expensive for what it is. i really hope that they improve their menu or change the food! i would love for this place to be good, but right now it is just hugely disappointing!

Oh I so wanted to like this place but the name should have signaled it for me Bia Garden referring to Beer Garden. Though the atmosphere is pretty good it's quite large and feels too big overall not as special as if it were smaller, but it is a beer garden so pretty expected. But that aside food is really not good. Pretty basic, boring and tasteless and not cheap. We just wanted a Bratwurst in a bun with kraut and we had to order the app with 3 little Brats because we was told the main Brat comes solo, no bun, no kraut etc. and a big plate of Kraut that came for his 3 little Brat's was so unnecessary and a waste of $. We also had the eggplant and it was wet and mushy, and the beet salad was just missing shavings of cheese, hint of something white on top not sure what that was, but seriously not enough. And some kids were walking around trying to sell us ice cream seemed to be friends of family/owners or whoever but it was odd. I wish them luck but they got to improve the food big time.
