Der Biergarten: Authentic German Beer Garden in Downtown Atlanta

Great place for German food and drinks. We sat at the bar and got awesome service from T.L. The food menu has a large selection

#42 of 52 (weeks of trying a new restaurant at least once a week) In ATL for business and this was just a few blocks from my hotel. I lived in Germany for 16 years so always eager to get a taste of home. It's set up like a biergarten which I liked. We were seated right away. I ordered a dark beer (can't recall which one) which was really good. For dinner I got the bratwurst plate. You can choose if you want the same two wurst's or one of each. I got one of each and it came with saurkraut and kartoffelsalat (potato salad). I also ordered a side of spatzle as I couldn't pass that up. The food came out pretty quickly. I really enjoyed everything but of course not fully authentic to what I ate when living there. I did enjoy that there was a selection of 3 mustards on the table and they were all pretty flavorful. Not bad if craving a taste of Germany.

Der Biergarten sticks with the classic "German biergarten in America" formula - German beers and food. No crazy fusion stuff, becoming a modern tap room, etc. Beers here are ~$11 for .5L & ~$16 for 1L. You see the usual suspects, like Weistephaner, Hofbrau, and Paulaner. Food options include large pretzel, misc wurst, kartofel (potato salad, but German and better), schnitzel, spatzel, etc.

This was a wonderful time. We were not doing well in Atlanta and definitely needed a pick up. As I suspected the food was authentic and pleasingly welcome. Of course I over ate. It's a Biergarten. Right? The atmosphere is very reminiscent of a German Biergarten. It's dark with strategic lighting for that intimate experience. Many of our people are overweight and unattractive, so best to dim the lights. lol. The service was excellent. I even taught the server how to cuss in German. I can't discuss the topping-off-of-the-steins; you can trust me when I say they'll take good care of you. Pro Tip: if you have 5 or 6 folks in your party, consider the König Ludwig Platte. For $135 you'll get bratwurst, jägerschnitzel, wiener schnitzel, knackwurst, sauerbraten and a whole roasted chicken. It also includes sauerkraut, potato salad, red cabbage and spätzle (a German pasta). It's the best way to sample all the different flavours and there is something for everyone. Lecker! They have over a dozen drafts. I recommend the Gaffel, Kölsch or the Rothhaus Tanen Zapple, relax, it's a mild Pilsner that you're goona love. 11/24

Located smack in downtown, the e restaurant is attractive and large. There is no parking and parking nearby runs at $20. We were a large group so we practically got all the dishes in the menu. The large platter meant for 4 to 6 people can actually feed a lot more and it was good. Not a huge fan of the sides but I think it is more due to having an acquired taste than them tasting bad.

We came here before a show at State Farm Arena. We are a fan of German food and this did not disappoint. The location is up a legit flight of outdoor stairs. This is not terribly handicapped friendly. The decor inside was fantastic and festive, centered around a large bar. The selection of beers was pretty extensive and authentic. We ordered a nice dark beer. We ordered goulash, weinerschnitzel, and Jaegerschnitzel. Most entrees come with potato salad. They also offer spaetzle with Gruyère which was like a German Mac and cheese. The food was very tasty and the portions were quite generous. The service is okay, considering the customer service dessert that is downtown Atlanta. I would definitely return if coming to the area for an event.

Great German feels. Food was great. Not a long wait at all. Enjoyed the mustard variety. Service was right in target.

We stopped by for a drink and each ordered a whole liter of beer! They have a variety of German beers available. The service was rather slow at the bar, as we waited to order our drinks and pay. There were two benches outside the restaurant that you'll pass by when walking in. This was where you could hang out and drink, if you're not planning to eat. It felt a bit awkward, like an area where people pass by rather than a place to hang out.

I recently visited Der Biergarten in Downtown Atlanta, Georgia. We stopped by for a beer and had a good time. We each ordered a liter of the Hacker-Pschorr Weisse, which was very flavorful. It's a nice spot for tourists to grab a drink.
