Steingarten LA (CLOSED)

Near Fox Studios in Rancho Park, Abraham Berookhim planted a "California beer garden," with craft beer featured in a communal dining hall with a retractable skylight. The space also incorporates a back patio with a fire pit—a 20-foot wide art piece crafted from 360 tiles—and a full bar. Sausages fall into three categories: Old Country (bockwurst), New Country (lamb spicy sausage) and Game ("Alaska grade" elk). They’ve also got burgers, bar bites, and a top-notch craft beer program. Look out for brewery events, pairing dinners and special beer tastings scheduled by the bar’s hop-fueled beer maven David Watrous.
