Great little place but the bartender with the curly hair downstairs is extremely rude. She needs to get a personality adjustment.

The Red Lion Tavern has great German food and beer! Its about the only German restaurant left in LA county other than Alpine Village. The atmosphere is nice and they have a smokin hot server who wears black combat boots!:-)

The Red Lion is not where you go in you’re in a hurry. It’s where you go to kill a couple hours, stuff yourself silly, drink great beer and stare at cute waitresses in durndels(sp?) and stockings.

Don’t know where you got the $14 beer from. The just flat out isn’t correct although once the pints and food get flowing you can usually count on spending around $50 per person. The service is always friendly even if it is not the quickest but, once again, it’s not a fast food…or even medium food…type of joint.

I’ve found that if you’re there for dinner and want a little faster service, stay downstairs. Upstairs is better for a lingering evening of beer, smokes, and snackies.

I work at the RL, and the half liter beers are 5.50, with the exception of the dopplebock, which is 6.50. A .31 liter glass is 3.50. Also, we are usually slightly understaffed, so service can be slow. And I certainly do not get high in my car, or anywhere else.

When I went to Germany a few years ago, I found the service to be a bit slow in every restaurant I frequented. What I realized then was that as Americans, we expect everything “on demand.” The Red Lion is a good, typical German beer garden. The food is authentic; not the best, but pretty damn good. The beer is poured correctly and the varieties are plentiful. Expect to spend up to two hours there for dinner. While waiting for the service, relax, enjoy a beer and enjoy the conversation.
best time to go is late afternoon on a warm day. get a weiÃŸbier and unwind…

I go there often, and the beers are 5.50. Service is generally slow, so make sure you order your next beer when you’re a little over half way done.

Trying to recall.. I was in the Lion last Sunday…

You’ll rarely see a good Helles here in the states. They just don’t have the demand like a pils and they don’t stay fresh for very long.

But they always have a products from Kostrizker, Spaten (including Optimator on draft, go team!), Bitburger, Franz, Erdinger, etc. Personally I’d like to see them get some Kindl Berliner Weiss in during the summers for a nice light drink on the deck.

And I’d still pay good money for someone to bring and serve some nice fresh British mild, but that’s just not going to happen.
