Fix is located on the northern end of the boardwalk, so it's super easy to find. As its name implies it's a beer garden: beer and simple bar food. When I walked in, I instantly started smiling: there's an old retro bus, 2 fire pits, Adirondack chairs, corn hole and open space - big kid's play ground. Check out my pics for this outdoor venue. I was so tempted to try the Beer Pong Set, see my pic of what you get, I stayed with corn hole and had a great time. read more

Beer Pong is here! We didn't have anything planned for the remainder of our day in Catalina so when we walked by here, stopped cause there are two beer pong tables! We ordered a pitcher and got to play some beer pong which was fun. The rice lager is really refreshing and easy to drink. So easy that we got another pitcher of it to split between three people. The environment is super cute. Lots of umbrellas and spaces to sit. If you sit behind the beer pong table, just be aware that ping pong balls may be in your area. (So sorry, kind of, to the couple that was making out behind us. But also, take that elsewhere. Lots of "excuse me, ball is under your table, let me just grab that ) Bartenders were friendly and service was quick. They have two "fancier" portable toilets in the back. Would come back here for the vibes and beer! read more

Service fast and pleasant. Prices surprisingly affordable for a tourist town. That said, brisket moist and flavorful, pulled pork same. Not sure where their bacon jam comes from but was very good with a nice balance of bacon fat richness and sweetness. The homemade potato salad and macaroni and cheese were both amazing. Overall rates favorably to good texas bbq, meat and sides. Fact it's at the beach rocks. They also have a great selection of good beer on tap. Outside only seating that's welcoming and clean. A must try from the abundance of fish and Mexican that seems to prevail in town. Salads also available. Better selection than normally found at eateries. Water feta for example. Prices $ to $ 1/2 depending on your dollar sensibility . read more

DO NOT COME HERE! Guy who appeared at the front after I walked in stopped my group of 15 from coming in. I walked in to find a table. A large group got up and gave me the table. As my other part of the group found chairs by the fire pit at the entrance. A man came and said the area was for PAYING CUSTOMERS. It doesn't say anywhere to wait for seating. Instead of telling the group that we needed to wait for seating. My group even told the guy we got a table. We were told by the guy at the front that our group should leave for no reason. We just left the Discanso Beach Club and spent over $1000 because we were a large group and to turn us away for whatever reasoning was NOT OKAY!! The guy was rude and I hope that this is not the kind of service that is tolerated. read more

Nice decor but it was off-season and the vibe was dead because there were very few people due to the colder weather. They did have various fire pits and heat lamps that were clean and appeared fairly new which was nice. Beer price is a bit more expensive as expected... $8 for Bud and $10-12 for most other options. It would be nice to have Catalina local brewing for the pricing to support local brewers (I don't think there are any on the island). My big disappointment was the beer selection... I tried 4 and they were all big misses... pretty important for a Biergarten. read more

A great place to end the night! We spent the day at Avalon renting golf carts, seeing the deer, and eating food. Of the places we tried, FLX Biergarten was the best. I ordered the pulled pork sandwhich for $16 and it was filling and tasty. After eating, we played Bingo. In our group of 5, 2 of us won! Bingo was a great way to take the experience from a quick dinner to a memorable family evening. Michael was a charismatic host who showed us to our seats, helped us order food, and hosted the Bingo night. He made the night even better! Kai and Jack helped keep the food truck running and the dishes cleared. Overall, this was a 10/10 experience. Everyone was welcoming, the atmosphere was fun and light hearted, and the food was great. We will stop by again when we're back in Avalon! read more

Back at my favorite out door patio in Avalon. Right on the popular bay walk past all the boats on the bay. This is the walk most who visit the island travel. Lots of shops, eateries and bars. Vehs. ( Golf carts ) not allowed so popular . Flx is at the north end of this zone. For those looking for a place with the best selection of craft beers on the island, this is it. Lots of covered tables to relax under the sun of Avalon. ( 21 and up) "No kids running around here". Corn hole, ping pong, beer pong too. Great selection of music from the 80s streaming . Now they have food too. Wish the beers were a little more affordable ( 2 beers on tap from San Diego set me back $24 ) otherwise it's a must visit buisness when in Avalon. read more

This place sucks, I brought in 15 of my friends and they refused to service the party because one person broke the "cardinal rule" of not tripping on one beer. Our table hadn't even opened up at tab yet. Tip is never guaranteed especially with bad service. Right after he refused my party service they serviced other party's, but when I asked why , his excuse was that it was last call. If it was last call then why service people after refusing us? This was the only place my friends wanted to go to, and your bartender Ryan ruined it. read more
