Fish and chips are great my favorite in the area!!! Chips and salsa here rock!!! Erdinger beer is why I come here too. Ask for Alicia as a server she is great!! Also check out her cool tree tattoo!!

I just a great spot to munch and drunch. The pretzels are a must, bigger than your face and softer than your belly.

Best pretzel on earth, do not miss it. Fantastic sunset spot. Great on the weekend to sit in the bier garden

Sunset Happy Hour occurs weeknights from 6-8 pm. Right by the beach on the Venice Boardwalk you can snag half price German beer on draft and house wines, plus $1.50 Budweiser and $2.25 Coronas. Read more

A bit disappointing meals, but what can I say, they have German beer.

You MUST have the Erdinger. Delicious. They also have happy hour food specials and a beer garden on the weekends and all summer. I can't pronounce it, but the Zurcher Gschnatzlets is the BEST! Try it!

Order pitchers of Erdinger and watch the sunset and passerbys on the Venice Boardwalk. Just laze the day away with friends and people watch.

Avoid the crowds out front: head inside & straight to the little beer garden out back.

German beer and bretzeln

This place is crawling with drunkeness, first clue not to eat the food unless its to sober up. Bartenders mix good drinks & the door guys are hot. Unisex bathroom probably freaks out tourists.

Go to On the Waterfront and get a flute of Erdinger with a Chicken Sandwich. Lunchtime on weekends is best
