Love the outdoor, casual vibe of Biergarten. It's been a downtown staple for years and years. We had to stop in when we took a shelter dog out for the day since they're dog-friendly. I always go for a big pour of the Starburst beer. It's so smooth and refreshing. But this was my first time trying the food, so we ordered a some hot dogs and garlic fries. The food came out quickly, and the staff was on top of it, clearing dishes and keeping everything moving. The garlic fries were honestly some of the best I've had; super craggy and garlicky. The dogs were good too. I loved the toppings and the spicy mustard, though the sausages themselves were a little bland. Still, for the price and a quick bite in a fun setting, I'm not complaining.
The service is always excellent at this place! Of course the establishment is small, so there was no seating available on a Saturday evening. My two friends and I had to awkwardly stand to the side until a spot opened up about 10 minutes after we got out drinks. The starburst beer is very yummy and sweet and priced well for 1L. The Lila Geist is very yummy, refreshing and cheap for the ABV!
It's a fun place to hangout with a number of beers on tap that aren't as readily available on tap at other locations. Kudos to the team for that. Additionally, they have Jenga style blocks on the table, making it a great place for a fun date or groups to get together. It was very much used for both purposes while we were there, so vibes were great. Got a beverage and it was delicious. When asked, staff will also provide recommendations. For the food, I really wish it had hit the same. Each time I go to Germany, there is a non-negotiable for me. I've got to have some currywurst; it's one of my favorite things in the world. Even the lesser ones I've had in Germany have made me happy. I was hoping that the one here would transport me back to Germany. They make an effort, but there's something that just doesn't hit the same. The sauce here is really sweet. Almost BBQ sauce tasting because of the sweetness. There was a bit lack of curry element. It made for a different pairing with the sausage itself. I really wish the currywurst reached the level I was hoping for. Just a note for those sensitive: garlic fries were heavy on the garlic. Heavy.
The food here is phenomenal and immediately made me miss being in Munich during Oktoberfest! The gentleman that was taking orders and outing beers was super nice! It was pretty packed when my friends and I arrived but were still able to find seating. They have a great selection of beers and again the food was incredible, especially the pretzel with beer cheese.
We absolutely loved our experience at the Midtown BierGarten! This outdoor BierGarten had lots of seating and such a pretty atmosphere with the fall leaves. There was even cornhole and other games to play. The service was great! The bartender was "in character" with the German accent and lingo, he was super awesome. We tried the Starburst beer SO YUMMY! If you stop by you also have to try the pretzel, fries, and Belgian waffle!
: Yesterday was my first time here. First, the good: The staff was very friendly. Service was fast. Great atmosphere, tasty beer (at least the one I tried), and they let you sample before choosing. They also have their own kitchen. Now, what I didn't like: The tables were not wiped down. Currywurst: the sausage seemed almost raw to me not grilled and not even browned -- and the portion was quite small. The fries, however, were pretty good. Schnitzel: not bad, but not good either. The schnitzel came with two lemon slices, one of which was moldy. The sauerkraut however was good. I wouldn't call the prices affordable, but if the portions were larger, that could be overlooked. Overall, guys, we left hungry and if it weren't for the beer and the staff, this would have been a one-star review.
Love it! Staff was super friendly and helpful! Terrific outdoor seating. (Only outdoor seating) beer was terrific! And I had the sausage plate with the cucumber salad. Loved it! Definitely will be back!
Great spot for a drink! Me and a coworker came here after work to catch up. We both ordered the Starburst beer. It is fruity and refreshing and delicious! Just an FYI, they only have an outdoor seating area
Solid food for a solid price. Decent selection of beers and good service. Misters and shade kept it decently cool for the Sacramento summer!
Walked in off the street, an it was so nice after every other place had a line to not have to deal with that. The kitchen was closed, but the bartender was quick to let us know. I tried a grapefruit Hefeweizen mixed with a pomegranate cider which they call a starburst there and it was delicious!
Midtown Biergarten is one of my partner's favorite places to go for a bite to eat and a drink. This authentic charming beer garden is open air with tables and benches straight from Germany. Whenever possible, co-owner Sean Derfield makes sure that many of the beers on tap are from Germany as well. There's a limited menu featuring German sausages, salads, pretzels and Belgian Waffle sandwiches. On our latest visit, for Valentine's Day, we enjoyed the Starburst, a signature blend of rattler and cider, with a refreshing light and sweet taste. We also tried the belgie of the month, which featured pastrami and andouille sauce. We love Biergarten for the range of people it attracts, the fun ambiance and casual nature. If it's not raining, stop in for a taste of the old country in Midtown.
Service is great, employees are so friendly and helpful my favorite beer is their starburst. The food is good to snack on the fries are delicious as well as the platter. You also can't go wrong with the pretzel.
Midtown Biergarten is such a fun, laid-back spot to hang out in Sacramento. Big communal tables, all outdoor seating, and a friendly, neighborhood vibe. Highlights: - Awesome selection of German and craft beers--lots to explore. - Pretzels and garlic fries are the perfect snack. - Super dog-friendly and great for groups. - They were running a fun contest where whoever holds a 5-lb beer mug the longest over three weekends wins a ticket to Oktoberfest in NYC. Such a unique idea that added to the lively atmosphere! Just a heads up: it gets crowded on weekends, and there's no indoor seating, so check the weather. Overall, one of my favorite places to relax with friends over good beer and a bit of friendly competition.

With their second location/expansion venue opening at the Old Sacramento waterfront very soon, they didn't run any Pride Month deals this year at the Midtown Biergarten. However, through their Facebook page you can sign up for "VIP Loyalty" and get a couple of cool offers. The ones I could claim were a FREE Pretzel or a FREE One Sausage Platter. Older offers included FREE Custom Dog or FREE French Fries. These are available Sunday through Friday only, one offer per visit, not valid with any other offers, dine-in only. Show in person to staff and get a special code to redeem. I love their giant pretzels and sausage platters, and the fruity Starburst grapefruit radler beer with pom cider is such a summer vibe. Most recent visit was also able to catch the Argentina World Cup game on the projector. For my FREE offer I went with the one sausage platter (picked bratwurst and potato salad), then also got a 500mL Starburst and a pretzel with added bier cheese. Judi got the Berliner dog (curry and fries) and a cucumber salad, and we shared an order of the S'mores Belgie dessert! I will be back soon for my FREE pretzel, and I must remember to try the Starburst as a slushie/frozen! read more

WOW, what a great review and with links. Thanks so much and glad we…
Atmosphere + beer 4/5 Food 3.2.5 It's been years since my last visit and it's a good as I remember. You enter without truly knowing where to go or what to do, so be observant as there may be an actual line to order drinks and food, just don't cut someone off. Ordering was easy. Same window for beer and food. If you order food you're given a number that people deliver food. Came here for happy hour. I got myself a pretzel with add-on cheese, a pulled pork (seasonal) Belgie with fries, and I sampled other food that my friends ordered. Firstly, the 1L beer is worth it. Not happy hour prices., but well worth the volume. It definitely transported me back to my visit to Munich and the beer halls. Oh, I do miss the drunken singing of the Germans lol Secondly, the food was just okay. Pretzels were thankfully cheaper since it was happy hour but i paid $1 for the add-on cheese. The mustard combo sauce was great. I wish the pretzel was a bit bigger. I appreciated the warmth and the salt ratio; not overpowering. The Belgie (waffle sandwich) was also on happy hour. The texture of the waffle was great. Crisp exterior, soft interior. I ordered the seasonal pulled pork which was great in texture and decently portioned. It is a thick boy, so biting into it was a bit of a challenge. Ended up deconstructing the sandwich and used utensils. Sauce maybe would've been better on the side. Fries always win. No complaints though I wish I ordered the garlic fries... the smell was good. One thing I didn't get to try was their famous, Starbust drink which is a mix of beer, cider and some frosty, maybe. The color was intriguing and everyone seemed to order it around me. The misters were on, which was a blessing and a curse. Definitely helped cool me down, but also became a nuisance as the table and all my belongings got wet. Excited for their new location in Old Sac. Maybe a revised review in the future. Stay tuned. read more

5 stars for the staff. 5 stars for the beer. 2 stars for the food and prices. The sausage wasn't grilled properly, and the curry sauce seemed to be just ketchup with turmeric sprinkled on the fries. The portion was small. Overall, the food was disappointing. read more

Thanks for attending a Stein holding night. We are glad you enjoyed.
Have been here a few times with friends and will definitely keep coming back. Great lowkey spot to hang out and have some drinks outdoors. A good amount of seating considering how busy it gets, they have some games like hack sack, heaters for when it's cold and shade covers for when it's hot or drizzling. The staff have always been nice and friendly when I've been. They answer questions about the drinks on tap and will give samples so you can get a drink you like. The food is also tasty, I've had the pretzel and garlic fries. The garlic fries are a must! Their pomegranate cider is my favorite currently but I'll be trying more from their extensive menu. Super nice Biergarten in a really convenient area, right in midtown near a bunch of other food and drink spots and small shops. read more
Forever in love with this spot. It is the perfect casual spot to enjoy a great beer. I'm not super into beer but the starburst is delicious! Highly recommend to anyone looking to try something new. The service is great and food comes out quickly. read more

Went early on a Thursday, was able to find free parking easily despite being in the busy center of midtown. There are long community tables, a cornhole row, and small patio. Dogs and smoking allowed, but all furry friends were well behaved. As it was early it wasn't packed, but there were at least four other small groups there. The gentleman behind the counter was enthusiastic and enjoyed talking to regulars, making the place feel very "local" in a nice way. I had the Derfinator Dog, without barbecue sauce, and a stein of Stiegl Raspberry Radler. The staff/kitchen was super accommodating, I was able to get a veggie dog wrapped in bacon to substitute the usual beef dog. The Derfinator was very good. Whatever brand of veggie dog they use has the exact same texture as a meat one, and was well seasoned by itself. The produce was fresh and not overwhelming, I was able to consistently take bites without losing any toppings which was preferred. The cream cheese went well with the hot sauce, and the homemade secret garlic sauce was great--going to ask for a side of it with the fries next time. The Radler was great. Refreshing, fruity, and low ABV make it a very easy drink to put away. The raspberry is the most prominent flavor, without much beer vibe. Absolutely recommend. Not tried but offered by the bartender: Radler Moscow Mule, which I'll definitely be having next time. read more

Decided to drop by Midtown Biergarten and it was exactly what I needed. It's an extremely relaxing spot with good vibes, and perfect for just chilling with some food and a beer. I decided to grab a pretzel and the sausage platter with garlic fries. Pretzel was warm, soft, salt. Came with mustard, ranch and other sauces which were a plus that had a nice little kick. Nothing fancy, just done right. The sausage platter was tasty. Couple of different kinds of their most popular sausage, all good, fries were crispy and hit the spot. Great pairing with any drink they have to offer honestly. Staff were cool, food was great. I'd definitely drop in again soon. read more

Wow I felt like I was back in Germany from my Army days. I came here on a super pleasant August Saturday noon for lunch takeout. The Biergarten is open aired with cool artwork everywhere. Ordering was very easy at the cashier station. The server had spent a couple college semesters in Germany and was very friendly. The jagerschnitzel with traditional hunter gravy and sauerkraut were very well prepared and savory. The potato salad was vinegar based which was very light and tasty. The apple strudel was the highlight of my meal and was the best I've ever had period! I look forward to coming back to try the sausages. read more

5/5 alone just for the Starburst Beer, not to mention the Starburst slushie during the hot months! I love that there is security before you even enter. They check for IDs. Where you order your drinks and food is pretty straightforward and easy. The bartenders are usually very nice. There's plenty of bench seating and table picnic seating areas. There's also cornhole, which is pretty fun. I've walked in, I've stopped here on Sac Brew Bike and I've come here to meet up with friends. All of these experiences have been extremely fun and I highly recommend coming here for their drinks and they're delicious bites. read more
I keep coming back for more! Midtown BierGarten is a gem in Midtown. With their outdoor space, communal tables and delicious food and drinks they are the perfect spot for groups, singles, date nights or a chill hang out. We often stop here for a beer and some food on the weekends, and when friends visit from out of town this is at the top of our lists to bring them to. They offer typical German menu items as well as some fun ones that you won't find anywhere else. Our favorites to order are the pretzel with obatzda cheese, currywurst, and schnitzel. Their fries are also great and all the food is perfect with a nice cold beer. Depending on when you stop by it can get busy and seats are first come first sit, but typically everyone is nice and it's a great way to meet new people. They're also dog friendly and have water bowls available for your dogs as well as treats. Just make sure your dog plays well with others. In the back are some games and the bathrooms. Staff is great at coming around to pick up empty plates and glasses. There is plenty of street parking in the neighborhood that makes this an easy stop. Keep an eye on their social media for special events and offerings as well. read more

First time here. Lovely spot to spend spring outdoors in Sac. Margarita was yummy and beer was good. Food was very good- garlic fries were fresh, crunchy outside and soft inside. Sausage was nice and crispy. Curry sauce a bit sweet for me and would have liked something spicy to go with it (my preference) but did ask to add dill pickles to counter the sweetness of the curry and have something acidic. Place was nice and clean, bathrooms too. Service was kind when I asked for recommendations. Kids ok to enter and enjoy jenga, ping pong or corn hole. read more

This place is a great place to have drinks outdoors with family and fur babies . That starburst drink was AWESOME! A little on the sweet side but still worth it. I also had the waffle and it was kind of gummy inside . Will most likely not be back for that. It was an order first type of service and more chill vibes. There is also misters for that awful 2024 summer heat read more
We got the Starburst and Watermelon Margarita. I really enjoyed the Watermelon Margarita! On hot summer days, the misters are on. If you're planning to stay for a while beware, you might get wet! The staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the drinks! read more

It's in the name: an outdoor beer garden! This is a fun outdoor social spot with great beer and good eats. Ping pong, corn hole, and boots of beer. Oh my! I personally love the radlers, but there is a wide range of German beer to enjoy. The beer battered fries and belgies are delish! Belgie= Belgian waffle sandwich I love a good patio, but when it's hot in Sac, there is little they can do to cool this area off. So you better just order another cold one.... read more

I LOVE this place! This is one of our go to spots in Sacramento. Especially in this Sacramento heat! We always get the Starburst beer and during the summer time you can order it frozen which means it's topped off with the starburst in slushy form. We usually get food to snack on while we are there as well. Dog friendly and just an overall chill place to talk and hang out. read more

Well we finally got around to hanging out in Der Biergarten in midtown. Super cute and cozy with a little cornhole to help you pass the time on a beautiful afternoon. When doesn't a good German beer hit the spot!?!?! We ordered the pretzel, jagerschnitzel, and some strudel to round it all out. Tasty food was delivered after placing our order at the counter. The communal tables are a nice way to get to know people. All in all a great space with some darn good food that we would go back for. That beer though!!! read more
