    Bar inside the front room
    Manda H.

    Stopped in while we were waiting for some more people and grabbed a cheese platter and some beers. The friendly Finnish bartender was fun to chat with! The cheese platter came with really good spicy peppers and yummy pickle spears. Plenty of snacking for three or four people. I wish we had gotten the sausages or pork, but there's always next time. Definitely a great spot to hang out and grab a drink.

    Bratwurst plate
    Michele P.

    Ordered the bratwurst sausage and potato pancakes. Sausage was okay, but I really liked the potato pancakes! Pretty simple and straightforward meal. Service was good. Was mostly here to celebrate a friend's birthday, which was fun because it's pretty spacious outside. I think if you're a beer drinker, this place might be for you!

    No, I am not drunk. Feel a bit groovy.

    Red Lion Tavern was established in 1959 and is a pretty well known bar in LA. They offer a VAST selection of German beers along with cocktails, full bar, wine, etc..they only have street/metered parking and as for the bathroom, I'm sure they have one but we didn't use it. I remember coming here many times 20+ years ago with groups of fellow coworkers at the time. I had really been craving some German food lately so I told my son we should go there tonight. Honestly, it wasn't the same experience I remembered from the past. We sat in their semi-outdoor patio area as they were having trivia night inside. Elle was our server and she was attentive/got us everything we asked for/needed. She was somewhat pleasant but aloof at the same time. The service was pretty decent overall. The bread basket came with cold bread and it was also stale. I ordered the chicken schnitzel that came with a side of cabbage and mashed potatoes with gravy. It was nice and crispy and I liked the sides. My son got three different appetizers for us to share from and it was genuinely just too much food for the two of us. It also took up so much space on the table. I ended up feeling overwhelmed with everything there and kind of lost my appetite after a few bites. He ordered the potato pancakes which were dripping in grease. He got the sausage platter which comes with 3 different cut up sausages and also the pretzel platter that was basically a low budget charcuterie board with a big soft pretzel. The pretzel itself was pretty good and I asked for NO SALT on it, which they complied with. The patio stunk really bad, like a mix of outdoors and urine. The menus were also dirty, sticky and smelly. It really just gave me the ick! I don't know, I remember this place being better all those years ago but then again, nothing stays the same. It's been 2 decades since I've been here, but I don't think I'll be back again. Everything just missed the mark for me.

    The ambience was very chill and the server we had was very upbeat and attentive. They have a wide selection of German beers and we tried two of them. They were pretty good. We didn't get a chance to order food so next time maybe we will try. Overall the party we attended had a good chill time outdoors. Pro tip* I recommend wearing flat shoes if you will be outside as the area is on a slanted paved area.

    The food and beer impressed me. Many screens, It is a great place to watch FIFA games.

    The Red Lion is a space and time portal. Walk in the lounge and you'll find a man playing a keyboard and singing into a microphone entertaining old timers that likely came here regularly as youngsters. Upstairs you'll find a younger crowd yearning to be in Germany sipping the dregs in the garden while servers fetch them another round. Time stands still in the portal. The same staff since yesteryear are still working the floor and bar. Always come for the pretzel platter, that's a you need. Broccoli as a side if you must eat something green. Parking can be a pain, small lot and crowded streets.

    Late night meal. Split pea soup and a wiener, pickle and bread !! Always a great meal :)

    Always a great hang at the red lion. Cale here late for a quick drink and a hearty meal. Sat in the middle small bar area, loved it. Very warm and cozy and there were a ton of people but this bar has a way of making it feel like It's just you. I've been coming here for years and will continue to do so, it's a staple spot that gives you more than just a regular bar could ever

    I used to work fairly close to The Red Lion, and for a time it was my regular, after-work place. Nowadays, I get in less than once a year, so I was excited to drop in for brunch prior to an event in the area. How nice to slip into the calm, dark wood restaurant and settle into one of the stools at the bar. The aromas of German food and beers have long since seeped into every nook and cranny of the 60+ year-old dining room and bar, making it very easy to leave Los Angeles outside while feeling thoroughly transported to Europe. There were only a few of us in the quiet, downstairs main room, as most of the Sunday Brunchers were upstairs in the outdoor beer garden -- so it was calm and relaxing, and bartender Sari took very good care of us all. While perusing the menu, I ordered one of their brunch cocktails: Jägermeister Cold Brew with cream... The unmistakable taste of Jäeger was tamped down quite a bit by the coffee favoring, and the addition of cream gave the drink very similar qualities to a white Russian. Maybe odd as you read the description, but really quite tasty for a morning drink. Once that was done, I switched to a cold and satisfying Warsteiner Dunkel, dark and chocolatey, and easy to drink with a meal. As for that meal, while there were many excellent options, I chose a simple, German plate: Käsekrainer sausage (beef & pork, studded with Emmenthaler cheese). The amply-sized link was peppery to the taste and smooth in consistency, with loads of flavor. The accompanying sauerkraut was warm and vinegary, and properly matched with spicy German mustard to round out the perfect bite. Mashed potatoes and gravy would be the usual side with this sausage, but I substituted the German fried potatoes, which really satisfied with a pop of bacon and fried onions. This was a VERY GOOD way to start a Sunday. Will need to come back with a couple of other folks so we can order a larger selection of foods to share, but in the meantime I was very happy to be back at my old haunt, and to see that everything has remained as top-tier as always.

    This gem is one of our favorite German/European eateries. Cozy, old world style dining downstairs and "ein fantastisch biergarten" up top (usually very busy). The beer, food, and service are always good, but parking is limited. If you live anywhere nearby, consider using a ride sharing service. The ambiance is fun, they had a pianist/singer downstairs on our visit, and lots of TVs in the beer garden usually with sports on (great place to watch the World Cup). DRINK: Great selection of German beers (on tap and in bottle), as well as liquors/schnapps, sodas, and coffee. Dessert drinks, like Asbach Coffee, Irish Coffee and Liberty Bell ($12.50), which my wife tried. It's labeled as "Dessert in a Martini Glass" and consists of Crème de Menthe, Kahlua, Baileys, and milk...delicious! FOOD: We started by sharing a bowl of Goulash Soup ($9), which has plenty of stewed beef in a rich, well-seasoned brown broth. Next, we shared a large German Pretzel ($12), served warm and comes with German or sweet mustard, or add Obazda (+$1.50) which is a delicious Bavarian cheese spread with onions and paprika. The Sausage Platter ($19) which includes 3 large German sausages (bratwurst, knackwurst, and smoked bockwurst) cut into bite size pieces and served with pickles, peppers, and mustard is one of my favorites. They also have items on the menu like Fish & Chips, Burgers (beef and veggie), Chicken Fingers, but it is primarily European cuisine. They'll provide complimentary bread/butter, but sometimes you must ask for it. Between the goulash, the two large appetizers, and the beers, we had more than enough to eat for the three of us. It's authentic and delicious! TIP: Check Groupon for a deal including a Sausage Platter and two beers. We bring all our out-of-town guests here and I'd highly recommend the Red Lion Tavern to anyone looking for a good meal and a fun time. Prost!

    Red Lion hit the spot as always but was extra special this time because I tried the Jaegerschnitzel for the first time. YUM. I also got the fried pickles for the first time. WOW. You definitely have to come with an empty stomach to finish the schnitzel. The fried pickles are the perfect little snack / app if you're needing something to snack on while drinking beer. Had a couple of Hefeweizens too.

    If you're into German beers and food - or even just into cool old school bars, you'll be into Red Lion! My boyfriend brought me here as this is a spot he loves and we were in the area and we had a great meal that left me stuffed even though it wasn't even a crazy amount - just that hearty German food! My beer was refreshing and a decent size, and the upstairs patio is the place to be for sports, vibes, and a European feel. The inside of the bar also has a few areas that are more dark and tavern-like if you're looking for a different type of experience. I really don't think you can go wrong no matter where you sit. Now onto the food, the potato pancakes are super yummy and come with apple sauce, cranberry sauce, and sour cream - all of which I love. I got the sausage with some cheese in it and it was super tasty, I even decided to forgo my roll as I was getting full so I could eat at least half of the sausage before I felt I was going to burst. I'm also a sauerkraut fan, and it had great taste. There's a great selection, good service, and awesome vibes. I look forward to coming back!

    we had my husband's birthday here and it was so infuse, uncomplicated and the staff were so accommodating- i was able to order a few things for the table, but still have separate drink tabs... you can bring a cake in for $15 but they bring you all these paper plates and utensils- could not have been any easier- we were outside and there was no rush for us to leave the table we reserved. thank you red lion!

    I used to come here back in the day and decided to pop in for old times' sake. Red Lion opened in 1959, and it's a cozy neighborhood tavern with a lively biergarten upstairs. There is also a secret hidden bar where you'll occasionally find guest bartenders serving up specials. I met up here with a friend to celebrate National Margarita Day. The weather was perfect for sitting outside. I only intended to have one, but my friend and I were enjoying our conversation and the gal behind the bar was delightful, so I had another. I forgot how fun this place is. It's a great spot to hang with friends, and if you are craving traditional German eats, you'll find it here. *Metered street parking

    There's always a good time had whenever we're in the area. Originally we were was at an event that…read morewasn't far from here but before heading home, a pit stop is needed. Plus it's alway nice to pop in to see friends and of course a meet up spot. This past weekend, the weather was perfect in Santa Monica. It was quite nice to have a table along the patio and perfect for people watching. We were meeting up a friend for a catch up and a meal to end the day with. The staffs are alway so friendly and welcoming each and every time we're here. If you haven't been, it's broken down to a few different areas but all connected. There's the British shop on one comer. If you continue on, you have the restaurant which has two different bars. On the left, that's more of a mellow smaller bar but does get fun. The main bar is on the other end of the building. That's where you get the full bar experience with darts and where all the games are shown. It does get quite busy whenever there's a game on so be advised. There's also an outdoor seating area as well. Then you have the main dining area right when you walk in. There's two main seating area which are both nice. One seems more like the dining room while the other is more of a casual dining area. Regardless, the food will always be the same. As it was Sunday, the roast is alway a good choice. Nothing elaborate but your classic roast. There was beef or lamb available with roasted potatoes, Yorkshire pudding served with your mixed veggies of cheesy carrots, peas, broccoli and cauliflower with gravy. Vegetarian options also available. Of course you cannot come here and not get fries (chips). Thick cut of goodness. Besides that, there's loads of traditional dishes available. I've had loads and they're all very good. Even if you just pop in for a pint, the place is quite fun. Bar area is fun and pretty lively. The place is quite casual which is nice for a stroll in. Can't leave out afternoon tea which is also offered. A fun time is alway had here each visit. Everyone is so friendly and sweet.

    Gets busy later at night but my friends and I managed to beat the rush! Dark ambience inside,…read moretypical night bar vibes. Rose tteokbokki (rice cake): 5/5 we swapped the udon for ramen and it was really good. Not too spicy and the rice cakes were perfectly chewy and soft. Has some fishcake and sausages and corn too which I liked for some diversity 420 fries: 3/5 very cheesy and saucy, got overwhelmed by the end and the hot cheetos get soggy Chicken wings: 4/5 super crispy and the meat wasn't dry on the inside! Loved the cabbage salad Hangover ramen: 4/5 very basic ramen but still hit the spot when I needed soup to wash down the other dishes. Love the crunchy bean sprouts too and comes with an egg as well Would love to come back and try their other dishes or even drinks. All this food fed 3 people but we were really hungry after a concert and had some leftovers :)

    Tried this place for the first time and it's a tiny little spot (with a parking lot though!). The…read morewait for 3 on a Friday night around 10 was about 15 minutes, which wasn't too bad. I really wanted to try the ice beer they had and to my surprise, there were 3 types of ice beer - reg, apple, and stout! Something for everyone. My friend recommended the rose tteokbokki so we order that too. It was bomb, a must order. I wasn't even hungry but I ate it uppppp. The sauce was nice and thick, not too spicy. The rice cakes were plump and soft and chewy (but not too chewy). There were noodles, fish cake, sausages... ugh I think I need to eat it again. Servers were really friendly and quick. They did give us a broken shot glass though and we took a shot out of it, and there were shards of glass in my bfriend's mouth... but they were apologetic and gave us a bottle of soju on the house lol. Anyways, would come back just for the rose tteokbokki!!
