Brats were good here, had read one other review abt how awkward it was to order right as you walk in cuz menus were above front of the house staff - ambiance was weird - loud rap music in a German restaurant? Alright... and yeah one of the girls who worked up front didn't really greet us - as she was chatting with her friends, assumed we had been there before and acted as if we should've known what beers they had - she seemed not inclined at all to help and was just very short with both of us... kinda puts a bad image on this place, you should be accommodating to all guests especially if you work at the front of establishments like this one, so all in all, brats were good, service was blah - they could've cared more about there customers.... read more

Free valet parking. Nice selection of beers. I got the Peppa burger, no spice at all not a big deal. Burger was average, Habit like. I think they need more toppings on all burgers, pickle on side would be nice. I really like the vibe, location and service. read more

Went while we were in town this past week. Great atmosphere, pizza and beer. Was told we could order our beer at same time as food and sit any where. We decided to sit at bar. There were three bartenders and not one of them made eye contact, asked how we were doing or if we wanted another beer, husband's beer was empty too so we left. my prior review was deleted so writing again! read more

What a sweet crew and nice space. I will become a regular here :). Nice food, wonderful space, yummy beer choices! read more

First time here while visiting Santa Barbara Mission with my family. Free parking lot and plenty of outside seating on a beautiful sunny day. Jasmine took great care of us with recommendations on sausages and beer selection. We had the sausage sampler (chicken apple sage, Italian with goat milk cheddar, bacon cheese jalapeño, and bratwurst). Each sausage was delicious. My daughter had a cheeseburger and even though basic (she only likes lettuce, tomato, and sauce) it was juicy and cooked medium. Beer selected was Societe Pupil IPA which my husband enjoyed very much (x2). All of Jasmine's recommendations were spot on and she was a pleasure. I only hope when we return we will see her again. I recommend to anyone looking for some good burgers and/or sausage along with great beer and ambiance, read more

Great beer ... but really bad service ... 5 bar attenders all busy running around messing with glasses and laughing, chatting, joking with each other ... NO SERVICE FOR 1hr AT BAR ... and if you do get bar staff attention ... it's an attitude like "why did you interrupt my bar tasks?". This is the opposite of good bar service ... for whatever reason ... prejudice, hatred, passive aggressive ... this is BAD BAR SERVICE. read more

After doing some wine tasting with friends, we stopped into Biergarten for take out dinner to bring to the beach. The line wasn't too long, so we were able to order quickly. It took a bit to get our order, but they were very busy with every table taken. All three of us ordered different sausages (served in a bun), and I got mine with sauerkraut. My friends both got the Chicken Apple Sage ones. They said that it was good but pretty basic and plain (one prefers plain foods in general so it was a nice fit for her). I got the Bacon Cheddar one, which was tasty but didn't have a particularly strong flavor of bacon or cheesiness. They provide some pickled things on the side to eat with your sausage, but we all felt we needed more topping options including a sauce or mustard. We got the fries, too, which were warm, golden, and crispy! read more

Wonderful place ! Great food , beer , TV's , Service is exceptional ! Loved the pizza , pretzel and the schnitzel read more

Beer and pizza were good! The Caesar salad was ok. The service was great along with atmosphere.

Went in on a Wednesday night and was told this place is the place to be. Currently visiting! I was greeted by a sweet person named Amanda! She helped me explore the options of beer and food and ended up getting the Cali Cremin Nitro! Highly recommend that one and 100% will be back for the great vibes and Amanda! Thank you SB. read more

This place is all about the ambiance and vibe. It's large open seating with long tables. Great for big groups! Lots of outdoor seating with fires and heaters to try to keep warm at night. There are some tables inside as well if you can snag a spot. Our group got the sausage platter which was enjoyed. They have pizza and burger options as well. Of course, can't go wrong with all the beer options and the fun giant boot beer! read more

Happening spot in the heart of the funk zone. For a beer garden the food is surprisingly good. HIGHLY recommend the fig and bacon pizza. Large outdoor space is good for groups and they have plentiful outdoor heaters. read more

Great pizza and atmosphere. Fun place to visit and be outside. We sat at the bar and service was great.

The burgers and beer are to die for! Ash (manager) is awesome! Thank you for taking such h great care of us!

Always good service for a busy place. Food is delicious too! They are now on a food delivery app and because we missed their food we figured we'd order from them. So good, good as being there. It's a Santa Barbara staple. read more

Second time at this location, both times exceptional customer service. Lots of seating available. Had sausage sampler and order of fries. Jalapeño cheddar, Hot Italian, Kielbasa, and andouille sausages. Each packed a punch, and flavorful. The sauces that accompanied were perfect. My favorites: Cranberry and Dijon Wasabi. Highly recommended, great addition to the Funk Zone. read more

Great service happy people work here from what I have seen. A good selection of beers and they have some kombucha's. They do have food here as well, I got the double cheeseburger I would say it's similar to in n out but not exactly the same. The fries are good in my opinion. read more

Y'all, this place is the best. First of all, Wyatt is the realest, the bartenders are the chillest, and the food and alc is unreal. 11/10 experience every time, come to Biergarten. read more

This place has a fun and light atmosphere and is a great spot for getting a beer with some friends. I personally came for the pretzel and it was fresh, soft, and really good! I also appreciated that they were still serving food late at night unlike some of the other breweries. read more

Biergarten - Bavarian pretzel - Beer Gardens Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

Pretty cool place for tasty big beers and brats. The pizzas are not great. Don't go for the pizza. Nice open patio seating and a nice bar.

Always have a great time here! Amazing beer selection and great food especially pretzels. Be sure to bundle up in the colder season as seating is mostly outside. read more

The ambiance was great and reminiscent of a real German beirgarten. The food wasn't quite as good. Sausages were very dry, probably overcooked, hard. The potato salad had way too much vinegar compared to the way the Germans do it. The curry sauce was just ketchup and curry. The pretzel was great! The beer was great! The location was great. read more

Awesome relaxing atmosphere and good service. Delicious food fairly priced. The pretzel is a must

Love Biergarten for their beer, kind staff and brats.. absolutely one of the worst burgers I have ever had, and definitely the worst smash burger. Both burgers were cold when we got them and had no noticeable textural difference (crispy fried etc) or onions often found in a smash burger. read more

It's kind of sad for me to write this because I really like this spot but what happened that day when I went with my friends was so stupid and outrageous that I felt like I had to tell my little weekend story. I aslo don't really write much reviews unless I am strongly satisfied / dissatified if that means anything. Anyways I had spent about 175$ on food and beers there and was walking up to the bar to order some more where I got denied. I asked why because I wasn't drunk or making a scene, being loud etc. The bartender which is a tall lanky dude said "I cannot serve you anymore because you and your friend stole our beer glasses" lmao I was like what ?! He then responds with this "I saw you guys stand up and leave the bar to go on the patio and you brought your glasses there" so I'm like yeah no shit I did dude I brought my drink with me to go sit with other friends outside. He just wouldn't let go and just kept accusing me of stealing their stupid glasses so I told him bring your manager, he called him over and I explained myself saying I was accused of stealing yet even he didn't budge, I was like wtf is happening here like am I going around town to different bars and steal beer glasses ? Jesus Christ. I then asked the manager look at the cameras and you'll see and didn't steal anything but told me there weren't any cameras here. I was like yeah okay bud no cameras at the central bar really lol ? Then I told him if I stole then why don't you call the cops ? He just didn't reply. Finally, after just waisting my time here and arguing for like 5 mins with these two dweebs and with no positive end in sight, I payed and left and obviously won't go back. Anyways take from that what you will, I didn't steal anything but god damn if you're into stealing beer glasses from bars, skip this place. read more

Excellent food. Great service. Laid back German sausages and beer. The pretzel was to die for!

Unfortunately I would not recommend this place. We were visiting from out of town for a wedding and stopped in to pass the time. Not everyone we came with drink beer and one in our group asked if they served any hard alcohol. To which the bartender sneakily commented under his breath "that's why it's called a BeirGarten" I didn't appreciate the comment to a genuine question & our entire party left. We found another establishment with MUCH better customer service. Establishment: Cute & trendy Service: Rude & inconsiderate Drinks: Doesn't matter & Do not know because we did not get that far. Come back: NEVER read more

Service was great and they had outdoor seating. Really liked having the pretzel to munch on!! The boot of beer was pretty funny, too. Having the parking lot was convenient considering parking can be a pain in the area. read more

I could eat their smatty burger for the rest of my life. They have really good drink options and their staff is super friendly and helpful. Perfect spot with valet. Near the ocean so bundle up but they have heating outside. read more

Great location, you walk along streets in the funk zone with palm trees everywhere and the ocean right in front of you! This place has a cute inside and awesome outside! We hung out on a table outside and enjoyed our beverages, Good vibe and music, but it took 4 times asking to get some water :( read more

We wandered by the night of Thanksgiving and were happy to find them open. Since we enjoyed Thanksgiving meal much earlier in the day, we were ready for beer and snacks -- and it seems lots of others were too. Tons of outdoor seating with fire pits, friendly staff, and good menu selections. We had the big pretzel with cheese and mustard followed by a yummy thin crust pizza -- both perfect with beer. What a great spot! read more

Got the pepperoni pizza, which was pretty good! Great spot to watch some games and hang out. Don't expect much from the employees, they just hang out on their phones with their back turned to guests waking up to the bar. read more

Great atmosphere. I wish i was brave enough to buy a beer in a boot. The staff are very attractive too (but that's unrelated to the good service) read more

Staff was really great. My husband and I both ordered beef franks at the front counter. I also ordered mine with sauerkraut but when my food came out it wasn't on the plate and the server said they ran out. The table next to us had their order served about 10 min later and they had sauerkraut on their plate. We also didn't know there were other condiments available such as spicy mustard, we would have liked that. We also had a small pretzel that had a cheese sauce on the side that was really runny, almost like ranch dressing which we passed on. Food was ok, atmosphere was really nice but I think they need to work some minor issues. read more

Pedro ramierz the bartender really saved my life at the bar today I'm extremely allergic to bees and he came outta no where and swatted the bee food was amazing btw !!! Try the mead it packs a punch but delicious read more

I want to give them a higher rating, I really do, but I feel like I did not get the experience that I was expecting. I went with a group of friends and the atmosphere is great for big groups. The place is huge with lots of patio dining and big tables. Also, they have complimentary valet parking which is really nice especially on a weekend in downtown SB. Now for the food and drinks! We wanted to order a pizza, but they ran out. We wanted to order schnitzel poutine, but they ran out. We wanted schnitzel, but they ran out. We wanted ranch, but they ran out... Honestly, at this point I was ready to leave. Their menu was heavily limited. Literally, everything we wanted was not in supply; it just felt like the restaurant was unprepared for the weekend night. Especially with COVID-19 restrictions being lifted, they should have been prepared for the influx of individuals coming by on a Saturday night. We ended up with 3 sausage platters, a pretzel, and a burger. The sausages were good, they had that nice snap to them and were packed with flavor. However, they did not come with buns which is a little odd to me. So we ordered a pretzel, which was alright, the cheese sauce was the show of that order. The burger was mediocre, I did not find it special and honestly, could have gotten a similar one from in-n-out. Now for the beers, we ordered two beers that the waiter had recommended, and maybe it is because I am not a beer connoisseur but these beers were so watery. I did not really enjoy them. read more

Well, the first word that comes to mind regarding the Biergarten is, Perfect! I may be prone to hyperbole but when something or someplace is exactly how you would design it yourself you absolutely need to give it those high accolades. The world, and certainly this town, is chock full of places pouring gallons of IPA's: West coast, East coast, English, Double, Triple, Hazy, Super Hazy! Honestly? Can we just have some solid German and Belgian beers already? Yes you can, at the Biergarten!! A fantastic selection of beers both direct from Europe, Weihenstephaner, Andechs, Ayinger, Vanderghinst, Westmalle, as well as amazing local(ish) producers that are killing it in these styles such as Enegren, Stone & Mother Earth. OK there are a few token IPAs for those that just need to be bitter :-) (Stone again and Offshoot!!) Opened by the owners of the Copenhagen Sausage Garden of Solvang these folks definitely know how to operate. So, of course there is a huge array of sausages available as well as burgers and pizzas and, yes, pretzels. And if you are really daring try the schnitzel, or even the schnitzel poutine. Next time for sure :-) All in all a fantastic addition the SB beer and food scene and that's saying a lot since that scene is epic in this town these days !! Will be going back VERY frequently, hope they have my table ready :-) read more

So being German I was very eager to try this restaurant and taste some really delicious authentic sausages. As such I ordered the platter with a mix of three sausages Bockwurst, Currywurst and Bratwurst. The moment the sausages arrived I realized I made a massive mistake. All three varieties looked as if they were laying in the sun all day completely dried out, I'm not sure what their idea of a Currywurst is but it certainly does not resemble anything close to German. The Bockwurst and bratwurst also had virtually no flavor, unappealing appearance and zero juiciness, I thought someone gave me vegetarian sausage by mistake but unfortunately that was not the case. I wish I had something good to say but I was so upset when I left after wasting $19.95 on a let down meal I felt compelled to write about it. This is my first review ever but I'm doing for the good of my country and quality sausages everyone. I think the owners need to really examine the quality of their food and reassess what they're calling themselves because its certainly not German. But then when if the alcohol menu is 4x as large as the food menu that pretty much tells everyone what the priority is. I suggest you order a pizza, maybe it's better read more

I highly recommend there sourdough pizzas and the Bavarian pretzel!! A go to spot when in Santa Barbara. Cold beer, amazing food right by the beach. What else can you ask for? read more
