L.A.-raised Neil Kwon took a cue from the beer gardens of Berlin and Munich in bringing craft beer to Koreatown in 2010. His beer hall, Biergarten, views Germany through a Korean prism. Platters of brats are dished up alongside Korean fried chicken, kimchi short rib fried rice and burgers both American and international—try the spicy Chosun, with red chili paste aioli and pickled daikon, or a schnitzel katsu sandwich. The beer list combines Old World ales, like malty Spaten Optimator, with West Coast IPAs, like Fort Point Animal. The space also touts flat screens that draw UFC and sports fans.
