    Beer brat sandwich and German potato salad
    Jillian K.

    Bier Garden Tucson was outstanding! Everything tasted fresh and clearly homemade. The beer brat sandwich was my favorite. The brat, made with dark beer, was incredibly flavorful, and the caramelized onions were the perfect topping. The bread was soft and fresh, and I'd definitely recommend adding mustard--it takes the sandwich to the next level. The chicken Jägerschnitzel was delicious, with a perfectly crispy coating while staying tender and juicy inside. It was cooked just right. The German potato salad had a wonderful tangy flavor with a great balance of pickle and mustard. It was unique, fresh, and complemented the meal perfectly. To finish, we had the Black Forest cake, and it was amazing. The chocolate cake was soft and moist, with cherry juice throughout. The cherries were plump, juicy, and burst with flavor in every bite--they weren't dry at all. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive, always making sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. One tip: make a reservation if you plan to dine here. The restaurant is very popular, and without a reservation, you'll likely need to sit outside or hope a seat is available at the bar. From start to finish, everything was fresh, homemade, and prepared with care. If you're looking for authentic German food in Tucson, Beer Garden is absolutely worth the visit. We'll definitely be back

    *Open about a month at the time of this review *Lively and busy *A Biergarten in Tucson- how fun! *indoor and outdoor seating (outdoor does get direct sun despite misters and fans) * Tried the Biergarten Plate (sampler) and the Appetizer combo *You definitely get a fair portion when you order the Biergarten Plate and the opportunity to try several menu items. Definitely shareable for 2-3 people. *The appetizer combo is tasty and can be a meal in itself * There are some kinks to be worked out as they are recently opened. But you can tell the management is actively working on this. * I would say, expect some possible long waits either for food or seating (this is a busy restaurant and I expect it will continue to be so) but I think with time, once flow and staffing needs are adjusted, wait times will reduce. * This place has the potential to be a sustaining establishment in Tucson and I look forward to repeated visits.

    Appetizer platter
    Anthony N.

    I think it's important to note at the start here, this is a new spot, and there are ALWAYS kinks with openings. I got a seat at the bar maybe 5-10 minutes after they opened on a Sunday, and the place was already packed with being fully booked for the day, an amazing thing to see for a new spot. I got a beer and the appetizer platter. The vibe was nice, Germany music was trying to play over the speaker but it was spotting after almost each song, making me wonder if maybe they had a new system they weren't entirely sure how to run yet. The staff was super friendly, checking in on me often and running around starve everyone. It did look like the way the staff was communication with each other that there were bidet roles for the staff that was leading stone confusion. I got my food after a short enough wait where I didn't notice much time going by. Everything on the platter was great. This is somewhere I can see myself stoping in after work for a beer and a snack often. The only thing that really stuck out to me as a negative was the entree prices. And look I understand food prices are constantly increasing and you pay for what you get, I spent a long time managing food costs for restaurants, but even from making food from scratch the costs feel rather high. I haven't seen a 42 dollar entree at a beer garden before today. There is a lot to love about this place and I will defiantly be back. I think after a month or two of service they should be running full speed and I'm excited to have them as a part of the Tucosn food scene.

    My daughter, husband and I have been awaiting the opening of this establishment. We were not able to get a reservation, but went anyway, knowing that we would have to wait. The hostess was friendly and accommodating. Our 1 hour wait time turned into 10 minutes! This establishment is clean, welcoming, and had an overall friendly feel. Service was fast, friendly, and we even got a bit of history on the bringing of this establishment to Tucson. Our food was, in a word...delicious! My husband's Goulosh was lukewarm. They replaced it with a new serving, and gave us free dessert for the inconvenience. My daughter, who is a Chef, stated that the flavors danced across her palate like a beautiful symphony! We will definitely be back! We enjoyed the excitement of soccer (there are several flat-screens, even on the patio), and can't wait for Octoberfest!

    This place is excellent despite the opening bugs to work out. Tucson is fortunate to have this restaurant. Shame on City of Tucson for not helping small businesses thrive. A German family sold their home in Germany to open a restaurant in Tucson. They ran into a TON of red tape. It's like the city wanted to kill small business and folks who drove value into the city's economy and culture. I've been in contact with the business for about a year waiting for them to open. The service needs to find its rhythm, but the folks are super gracious. I had the brat plate and it was excellent. I'm glad Tucson showed up and bought all the food they had prepared in a day. Definitely come here if you want German food. I'm excited to see what they will do in the future.

    SO busy! Make sure to have a reservation. Since this is a new restaurant, everyone is excited. The hostess informed us they have reservations for the next 4 days. We came on opening day. We made a reservation in advance but still had to wait to be seated. There's no exact waiting area, we stood hovering around the door and tables. When we were sat, our waiter was friendly and had told us that the kitchen "worked out its kinks" this morning. We received our first beers in a decent amount of time but our food took over an hour and we had to ask our server for an update. The XXL pretzel and the beer-bratwurst sandwich was good. We probably had the wurst table because we were close to the front door and had a wall of waiting butts around us. Normally I wouldn't complain but I think we were often overlooked. For opening day, there was live music and cotton candy was being hand out! I loved that. There was also an aperol spritz brand merch party thing happening. The samples seemed to just be little cup tastes of just that but not a mix of prosecco or soda water. It was a little strange of a taster. But I did like the cute free fan! Overall, opening day was a little too chaotic. I'd wait a couple weeks or a month to come back. I like this new German restaurant & bar! I hope they're able to seat guests at their reservation time and serve drink/food in better time. I recommend an enforced experience time slot of how long a groups dining experience should be considering the popularity. Some restaurants practice this such as ones in Phoenix. This could smooth the time process for all guest and staff. The Biergarten could do really well in Tucson! Perhaps after a few more days things can slow down to where it's manageable and fun for everyone to enjoy.

    Rouladen
    James C.

    The gravy made the dishes for sure. Unfortunately the strudel seems like it was not homemade. Kinda like a pork fritter. The rouladen meat was tasty but dry. The sauce made it good. It was a good experience and the beer was definitely the main attraction. The flavors of banana, clove and caramel. Definitely full bodied and delicious. We sat on the patio at 100deg it was hot and wet. The misters totally soaked those of us sitting close to them. Maybe a visit inside for lunch when the weather is cooler. All in all it was ok.

    Crowded AF

    Bulletpoint review for the 3-hour experience...and go! Came here to try the new westside hot spot. Made reservations for 4 via their website. *Food & Drink 4/5 -XX Pretzels - delicious! Crisp on the outside, soft on the inside served with obatzder, mustard, and butter - a must have! -Bienenstich (Beesting cake) - we shared this after the pretzel because we were told that our main course was going to take 45 minutes to arrive at our table because everything is made fresh. If you like a cake that's not super sugary sweet but sweetened with honey and vanilla, this will be your jam. The cake itself has a bread-y texture which was unique for my palette. -Ayinger pilsner. A nice, light beer against the hot weather. Was a little disappointed that there wasn't a Helles lager on the menu. And I get that it's Tucson, but Barrio Brewing? Really? -Biergartenplatte (XXL Sampler Plate). After much anticipation, we got to dig into the schnitzel, Fleischküchle (German meatballs), 3 types of brats, sauerkraut, spaetzle, mashed potatoes, and a cucumber salad. Great flavors. Was a little disappointed that the schnitzel wasn't beef veal, which I make in traditional style. The meatballs were probably my fave. The mushroom gravy is the way to go with the schnitzel. *Atmosphere & Ambiance 4/5 -One of the things that the owners boasted about this place was the absence of pretense. First of all, I can't think of a pretentious German restaurant that I've been to in the U.S. They're usually caricatures of what you'd expect for an American Oktoberfest, not the Old World feel of say Weinstube zur Traube. So I'd say, go ham with the German music, German greetings, a little personality. Blindfolded, I could have been anywhere. It was nice to see the one of the owners engaged with guests. *Service & Value 3/5 -It will take a minute for the staff to get their groove, especially with what seemed like some an inexperienced crew. Host cadence and the turn time need work. We were there for almost 3 hours which included a 1 hour wait on top of our reservation, an hour minimum for food to arrive, and another 45 minutes of European-paced dining. Excessive helicoptering was happening. We had nothing on our table and our server asked us if we were ok. Yeah, just waiting for our waters and beers, we're good. -The world is expensive and so is my time. I definitely want to come back when the hype settles. I don't know that I want to spend 3 hours of my life for my next meal. I just want my reservation to be honored next time. By then, I hope that the service will be competitive, but I will 100% return to try the Cordon Bleu and strudel.

    Schnitzel Sandwich ($16.99)
    Robyn Y.

    I visited Biergarten in Tucson on 6/19 after making a reservation a few days earlier. Before our visit, I spoke with Leah on the phone, and she was an absolute dream, kind, helpful, and welcoming. Her customer service left a great first impression and made us excited to visit. There are several German food lovers in my household, so we were looking forward to trying Biergarten. Despite arriving to find a completely full parking lot and a line out the door, we were seated immediately thanks to our reservation, which was very impressive. Our server came over promptly, took our drink orders, and returned with them quickly. We started with the XXL Pretzel ($12.99), which arrived fast and was served with a ramekin of cheese and another of mustard. The pretzel tasted exactly as expected, warm, soft, and enjoyable. I wasn't brave enough to try either dipping sauce, but the pretzel itself was good. My mom ordered the Schnitzel ($16.99), my son ordered the Sausage Plate ($32.99), and I originally planned to order the Rouladen Stuffed Beef Rolls ($34.99). Unfortunately, I was informed that the Rouladen wasn't available, nor was the Sauerbraten (Sour Roast), along with several beers. I wish we had been informed of these unavailable items when we first sat down, as it would have given me more time to review the menu and choose an alternative. Instead, I quickly settled on the Biergarten Burger ($22.99). There was also some confusion regarding the menu. The printed menu we were handed clearly stated that French fries were included with meals Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. When I asked about substituting the fries, I was told the promotion had ended the previous week. I pointed out that the promotion was still printed on the menu sitting in front of me. It took a little over an hour for our food to arrive. Honestly, this didn't bother us much because the restaurant had just opened and was obviously extremely busy. We understood there would be some growing pains and were willing to be patient. What did disappoint me was the presentation and value of some of the dishes given the prices. The Sausage Plate included three different sausages, mashed potatoes, gravy, and sauerkraut. My son enjoyed one of the sausages but wasn't a fan of the other two. The Schnitzel was served by itself, accompanied only by a small bowl of red onions and cucumber salad. My Biergarten Burger and the cucumber salad ($7.99) were both good, but at nearly $31 combined, I'd hesitate to order them again. To make matters worse, we were told we had to order fries separately for $7.99. We did so, but when our to go boxes were brought out after we paid, the fries still weren't ready. We ended up waiting about another 10 minutes for them before taking everything to go. In the end, our bill came to just over $105 for one appetizer, three lunches, one with a side and one without, and two soft drinks. That's a very expensive lunch, especially considering some menu items were unavailable and portions felt underwhelming for the price. I also noticed that the online menu doesn't list prices, which makes it difficult for customers to know what to expect before visiting. Overall, Biergarten has some positives. Leah was wonderful, our reservation experience was smooth, seating was immediate despite the crowds, and the service itself was friendly and prompt. However, menu availability, outdated printed menu information, pricing, and perceived value left us with mixed feelings. I understand they're newly opened and dealing with heavy demand, so I'm willing to give them some grace. Hopefully, as they settle into operations, some of these issues will improve.

    My excitement for this restaurant to open has been big. My husband made reservations the moment they opened for reservations and we got 6pm Saturday night; day two after their opening date June 5th 2026. I was aware they ran out of food the opening day, since the owner Andre has posted updates on social media asking customers to be patient. We arrived early for our 6 o'clock reservation and had a hard time even checking in since a lot of people with no reservations were blocking the entrance and standing outside just waiting to check on wait times. I know somebody who is working behind the bar and so we checked in and waited by the bar and absorbed the atmosphere. There was live music and a lot of customers. When we were seated, we were at table for 4 and told the hostess that we were happy to have any other party of two sit with us because there were so many people who were walking ins getting told outside only available. There's inside seating with air-conditioning where and live music and there's an outside patio area that has a canvas covering. Walk-ins could be in the outside beer garden area without reservations when I arrived. It took a while for us to get water, and to get our order placed. Our food came out quickly. My husband got the pork schnitzel because they were out of quite a number of dishes by 6 o'clock, and so no chicken schnitzel was left. We ordered pretzel bites, which were fun and freshly made. I got the Rouladen which is a beef rollup/ stuffed with pickles and bacon with a tomato sauce on top served with breadballs; sauté stuffing balls. My food was excellent. I was fully aware before coming that it was going to be very busy and unlikely to have the full menu available, but I was really happy with what I ordered and I liked my food. They had a Jagermeister orange cocktail/spritzer that was refreshing. We sat with another couple who shared the beer garden platter, which had a little bit of everything, and they ordered the extra large pretzel that came with the special dipping sauce as we were just finishing our food and ordered the only dessert left. There was an announcement that there was no more food; they'd completely sold out of everything except for pretzels at 8pm. This was a first for me, to be at a restaurant that announces they're out of food. This morning I learned they sold out of certain varieties of beer also. Wow! As I was leaving I briefly chatted with another Tucson YELP community member, who sadly wasn't able to order any entrees. I'm not a beer drinker and yet every 30 minutes or so the musician was getting the crowd cheering together lifting their glasses. I would love to come back and try their other things soon. I think I'll sit at the bar, and enjoy the frenzy. I loved my food, and the chaos. If you plan on going realize they likely will run out of food by dinner time, get reservations , and enjoy the experience as it was good vibes the two and a half hours I was there.

    XXL Pretzel
    Melinda S.

    Made a reservation for 5pm on 6/28. Our table was ready when we got there. We viewed the menu online before arriving so we knew what we wanted prior to being seated. One of the owners took our order she was so sweet. At 5:08pm our food was brought out and was delicious! I had the schnitzel it was a solid 11/10. My husband had the wurstplatte he gave 10/10. The XXL pretzel is a must! While we didn't finish it we did take the rest of it to go. The homemade sauces with it are amazing! Seating is what I would consider a family style seating no different than other German restaurants we have been to. Biergarten is now on our rotation of date night places we will go to. Thank you for amazing food and service.

    Tucson's first authentic German food restaurant is here! With handcrafted dishes made from old family recipes, and a carefully curated selection of imported German beers and wines. German family owned and operated.

    We've been waiting to try the new Biergarten since it opened. Made a reservation last week for Sunday lunch. We arrived and checked in at the hostess desk. We were told there was some glitch with scheduling and our table was not available but they could seat us outside. It was hot and I knew I wouldn't last long being out in the heat even though they had misters going. I saw some spots at the bar and asked if we could sit there, they said that was fine. We were a bit bummed we didn't get our table but it actually worked out well being at the bar. The inside is super cute with lots of greenery and pictures from around Germany. Our server was very friendly as were all the other staff we encountered. We had multiple opportunities to chat with the owner about Germany and her food. We probably wouldn't have done this if we sat at the table. It was tough deciding what to get. We ended up getting the appetizer combo and two different schnitzels. We loved the onion cheese twisters the most. The pretzel was also very good. The potato pancakes were good too but we enjoyed the other items on the combo more. The chicken in the Zigeuner schnitzel was so crispy. The sauce was also delicious. The fries were good and crispy especially dipped in a side of curry sauce. I had had Jager Schnitzel before in Germany, which I loved so they had a high bar to meet. The bar was meet and more! The pork was cooked perfectly and crispy and the sauce had wonderful flavor. The spatzle was wonderful as well. We were sad they didn't have the black forest cake (hopefully next time), but the cheery strudel was delicious. We are already discussing what menu items we will try next time we return.

    Ready to try some authentic German food!

My first impression is the outdoor-friendly design, with a bar that is half al fresco and the other half inside. Shutters can close the al fresco section out during inclement weather. It was a quiet evening, with a few diehard clients at the bar. I walked in, studied the rotating menu, and settled for the one wheat beer on the list: #18 Enegren Schoener Tag Hefeweizen (5%ABV) from Moorpark, CA. It was quite flavorful with good mouth feel. I sat al fresco at the bar looking in. I enjoyed the ambiance. The inside is designed for groups to sit together and talk while sampling beer or wine. Four TVs were on the wall as an afterthought. The beertender was busy cleaning equipment before closing, but he explained to me that while the beer list rotates, the first five are staples, dominated by sours and IPAs although several lagers are also available. There is plenty of parking in the rear although I noticed that lighting is only toward the strip mall. The rear spaces are dark. I asked about dogs. Only service dogs are allowed.

It's a fun and also elegant atmosphere with the zebra theme clearly exemplified across the space. I would have to say this is one of the coziest bars I've been to, the furniture and seating is really supportive of a long-term visit. There are other levels, lower and an upper level besides the main space, but be aware that if there are parties, they can typically take up different areas. Our bartender, Sarah was fantastic! The way that she handled all of the guests and the busy field was incredible, so calm and collected, and furthermore making some really incredible drinks. Heads up that the online drink menu is not the current drink menu, I couldn't remember all the names of our drinks and put those in the photo captions, so when I checked on the website, the menu was showing something different other than what I saw at the bar.

We'd heard good things about this place and have been trying to support local downtown bars this summer, so we stopped in around 11 on a Friday night before heading home. As we sat down, we watched the bartender be pretty dismissive toward another group at the bar, so we were already a little unsure. We started talking about the decor because we liked the eclectic vibe. We jokingly pointed out that one of the pictures had a joint instead of a cigarette because someone in our group hadn't noticed. One of the bartender's first comments back, completely seriously, was, "I'm from San Diego. Have you never seen art before?" Honestly... what? It was such a weird, unnecessarily condescending response. I brushed it off at first as awkward banter, but it was a really strange first impression. The drinks were decent. The Loverlist was really good, and the Unicorn Fluff and Old Fashioned were fine. The bartender was quick to talk up their whiskey selection, but when we asked for a recommendation, she mostly gave reasons why she couldn't recommend anything and just kept saying they had "over 90 different options." Without a whiskey menu to look through, that wasn't especially helpful. We also asked for a shooter and were offered half of a cocktail instead. That would've been totally fine on its own, but combined with everything else, the service just never felt welcoming. We ended up leaving pretty quickly. I'd give the place another shot because the atmosphere is fun and has a lot of potential, but hopefully with a different bartender behind the bar.

    UPDATE: I originally had a negative experience due to service from one staff member, but I want to…read moreupdate this after speaking with the owner, Rebecca, and the manager, Ashley. They were both incredibly kind, took the time to really listen, and genuinely understood my concerns. That meant a lot to me, and it's clear they truly care about their guests and their business. I also appreciated how personable Rebecca was, she was very present, empathetic, kind, and understanding, acknowledging that the situation had been handled very poorly. I've always loved the food here, you can taste the quality, creativity, and mindfulness in everything. Every other staff member I've encountered has been wonderful as well. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and honestly a great little getaway. Because of how this was handled and the consistency in everything else, I'm updating this to 5 stars. It's the kind of place where you can slow down, unwind from life's demands, share an impressive bite, and enjoy a glass of rosé while taking in the ambiance. I definitely recommend supporting this local business. Rebecca is a genuine, savvy businesswoman, and I really respect the care and intention behind what she has built. Cheers to letting the sunshine in and the dark cloud fade away. (Original review below for context) Very disappointing experience. Our server, Bryce, was dismissive, rude and inattentive from the start. He wasn't checking on our table at all, and we had to flag him down just to get drinks. We were still eating and planning to order more food and drinks, but service never improved. After waiting with empty glasses, I went inside to order another glass of rosé for myself and a second gin and tonic for my friend. That's when he told me he was "closing us out" and that we needed to leave. This was completely unprovoked and said in front of the bartender and other staff, which made the situation uncomfortable and unprofessional. We were not intoxicated or disruptive in any way. I had only had two glasses of rosé and was trying to order a third, and my friend had one cocktail and was ordering her second. The third glass I did receive appeared under-poured, which added to the overall discomfort, but at that point we were just trying to enjoy our time and catch up. It was surprising that a server would take it upon himself to cut off and remove guests under these circumstances, especially when basic service had not even been provided. Because of this, we chose not to order additional food or drinks. I've been here before with friends and clients and had good experiences, which makes this even more disappointing. This experience completely changed my impression, and I will not be returning

    Our friend highly recomended we go to Sunshine Wine last night, and the location was lovely and the…read moreservice was fine. My concern is with the food--none of the dishes we ordered tasted good, and the price was high for the portions we received. The ceasar salad, for example, was bland, and the dressing was salty and bitter. When compared to the salad at a restaurant just down to road, I found this one inedible. I rarely write reviews and I don't do this in a mean-spirited way--I would love to see a local restaurant and bar succeed. It is just that we paid $83 for two drinks and 4 small plates, and couldn't eat two of them and left hungry. I hope the food can improve!

Between the impeccable outstanding service, amazing friendly staff and the quality of the food 'Why Not' give them your business? We just cannot say enough about this small quaint Italian Restaurant. Reservations are a must as this is a very small establishment and fills up very fast each and every day. The food is so ' FLAVOR-TOWN' that your mouth explodes with pleasure with every last bite! The Shrimp Scampi Style is a special request and is not even on the menu but they will gladly make it your way. The Butternut Squash Ravioli is to die for and the Beef Rib Tortellini just simply melts in your happy mouth! And as to the freshly daily made desserts...try the Tiramisu and Pistachio Ricotta Cake as they are both over the top with deliciousness! Your water glass never gets below 'half fun' as the attention to detail and friendly service is simply impeccable! Cheers to your visit to Perche' No.....Why Not! :)

We waited a minute to be seated in a small corner table next to the kitchen We waited quite a long time to have our server acknowledge us we had already picked out food by the time they came. She made us aware of specials they had. They don't have a mocktail menu but the server said she would be able to come up with something for me which was very fruity and sweet definitely not my taste. I wish they would incorporate a mocktail menu or better NA options. The appetizer we had was calamari which was decent- my husband wasn't a fan of the breading texture it has a lumpiness to it maybe like a crushed cornflake feel. Not our favorite but overall it was cooked great not overdone. Love the roasted lemon on the side. I had the short rib ravioli which the ravioli itself was good. The sauce was interesting it had a sweetness to it that I wasn't a fan of. I've had short rib ravioli at wildflower which they also did a white sauce which I preferred due to it being savory. I can tell it was a wine based sauce which had a nice depth of flavor but the sweetness really killed it for me. My husband had the baked ravioli which was a lasagna style which was great! Robust sauce and large portion. If you're in Tucson the sauce seems very similar to Nate's. We did get a free cheesecake for our anniversary which was very nice, my husband loved this and he's super picky about cheesecake. Overall not bad- I think I'd maybe come to try some other dishes but service felt very slow, I wasn't blown away with anything and it was very pricey, mocktail options definitely lacked if you're sober.

It was absolutely delicious and all the flavors compliment one another perfectly. The batter stayed crispy even with the slaw on top and the orange-chili jam balanced it nicely. I love that the entire dinner menu is 20% off for happy hour 4pm-6pm. The regular price seemed high to me for the serving size but I could definitely tell that they put effort and creativity into the dish. The menu changes seasonally and the food tasted very fresh and interesting. I hope to see them add some plant-based items to their breakfast and lunch menus the next time the menu shifts with the season. Vegan, vegetarian and GF items are clearly marked. They have nice outdoor seating with sprinklers. I will mention that the food took about 40 minutes to come out even when they didn't seem busy, it was not a problem for me but just noting that it might not be a good spot to come to in a rush. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite!

He obliged ;D so TY both. Bob also makes a mean Sazerac , a $6 upcharge on the rye, but good quality drinks with inventive menus will cost you here, so save up, it's worthy. Ever heard of a beer press? Ingredients to flavor your draft mixed in a French Press. Oh and the house made old fashioned bitters are tell tale cocktail elevaters that really shine. Bob also took time to read over sugar content/Cals on NA drinks in fridge with me, tiny writing and low lighting, he was very understanding and patient in helping to make a selection. The pizza? It's Jaime's from next door but no app or running there needed, the bar takes the order, delivers when ready and has the extra condiments behind the bar to parm red chili flakes or black pepper up your slices. The bottom is crisp and 72-hr cold fermented dough has great flavor as does the sauce which has slight tang and zestiness, and now my go to over Empire Pizza, my previous downtown fave. Got the Gorgonzola bacon salad with house croutons, heirloom tomatoes and for $7 small, it was plenty for both of us pre-pizza. It's large, nice and proper cold, so delicious and had the hubby singing it's praises, we can't wait to try another salad as the quality of ingredients and house made dressing was tops! Good Oak has a dark speakeasy vibe with long velvety drapes to greet you on entry, a photo booth to capture your pre and post giggly highs from what the gorgeous wood bar will provide, along a long counter with wood booths to hide away in and sip the night away. Music is on blast, metal last 2 visits and spooky Halloween decor currently, adds to the mood.Games are stashed behind the fridge and exciting art nights, Sunday spin your own Vinyl, movie projections a-coming on the shared back patio with Jaime's and corner Art Bar give you more reasons to search Good Oak out, if you ever needed one! And there is a Happy Hr with discounted drinks ..ck Insta.

But at the end of the day, they're just too simple to be memorable. Really, these are cocktails for people who don't know much about cocktails. Just about everything on the menu is safe. Too safe. A few classics, and a few originals with like three ingredients. My Sonoran Old Fashioned (Tequila, honey, lemon) was OK but it didn't add any sort of bitters or house-made syrups for pizzazz, nor did it employ an agave spirit with any depth. What a snooze. Same for the admittedly cute drink featuring prickly pear--just straightforward and unimaginative. Nothing really appealed to me, so I went with my personal top-shelf staple--a Hendrick's and tonic. But they didn't even have Hendricks! Guess they were too busy using the limited space for a bunch of whiskeys. Spoiler alert: They don't even have the biggest (or most curated) whiskey list within a couple hundred meters. They used to have a kitchen too, and I wanted to try that, but it looks like they simply gave up on that in favor of outsourcing food to the adjacent pizzeria. I don't mean any disrespect, but there's nothing Good Oak can do that isn't done better by someone else on Congress. A charming and quiet reprieve from an otherwise loud and partygoing district, but if you want to be wowed by premium beverages, just keep walking.
