About Der Biergarten Waterfront
Der Biergarten Waterfront is the Sacramento Waterfront location of Der Biergarten, an outdoor German-style beer garden on Front Street. Open-air seating gives it a setting along the river. The brewery says it is the city's first and only authentic beer garden.
The draft list runs to about 30 taps of German, Belgian and craft beer, with cocktails now on the menu too. Beer comes in classic half and full liter steins. The tables are traditional communal Biergarten tables imported from Germany.
The kitchen serves the German staples common in European beer gardens, plus a rotating selection of American beer garden food. Families are welcome. Well-behaved dogs on a leash are welcome across the outdoor area.
