Very cool bar in the back of a German grocery store. They have both German and US/California taps running, with a pretty interesting selection. Small but high impact bottle list, with a surprisingly small markup. I would go back here any time.

Been visting here since my family moved to CA in the mid 90s. Only started drinking here 5 years ago.

The setup has changed quite a bit over the years. Now about half the floor space is dedicated to the restaurant and bar and the other half is the shop. No more upstairs seating, but that’s probably for the best. They’ve recently expanded the bar to wrap around the corner and include a few more taps.

Service is good and they let you pretty much do what ever you want. The family that runs the place is really nice. The son took over a few years ago but the parents still come in a couple times a week and help out. Many of the German customers have been replaced with younger non-Germans, but that’s alright.

There are always at least half a dozen German taps and bottles but they’ve been putting in more and more American and experimental beers. Aweesome place but it does get really crowded on the weekends.

Prices can be a bit steep on the non beer stuff but it’s also the only place around to find most of that stuff.

Honestly, one of my favorite beer places, period. The Staudts are super nice and generous people and very accommodating. Always a great selection of German beers in bottles and on tap, many of which are rarely seen in the US. An awesome bierstube in the back with a market/store up front. The food is very good, too. I spend way too much time here every time I make it back to the Bay Area.

German grocery store in the front and an expanding seating area in the back. Covered outside seating area that is a great place to hang on a warm afternoon. Great service! Fresh German beers and a few local gems on tap. I think they have 13 taps. Great German food.

Great German beer bar with real German food cooked by a real German. Has a German store in front.

Wow, what a great beer bar to pop up in Redwood City of all places. This is sort of a German "speakeasy" in that if you don’t know, now you know, nig- (sorry, got too into the Biggie Smalls). It’s back in a back alley just steps from the Redwood City Caltrain station. I hope it doesn’t get more crowded than it is, as the guy losing the iPhone 4G there has already caused the place to be packed. The bar has a great German tap list. Beers like Uerige Alt, Alllgauer Cambonator, Weltenburger Asam Bock, and the like are likely to be found. On top of that, there are two guest taps, featuring beers from the likes of Moonlight, Jolly Pumpkin, Valley Brew, Mikkeller, Grand Teton, Russian River, you name it. Good stuff, no doubt. The food, if you can get in when the kitchen is open, is excellent. Very traditional German fare. Very tasty plates of meat and potatoes, pretzels, pickles, and cheese will be prepared for you. Don’t tell my fiancee this, but they also have some attractive girls working there, and this is a serious cougar spot on the weekend. The prices are very reasonable for what you get, and the ambiance is a typical beer garden, the way you want it to be. This is really an amazing place, even if it doesn’t cater to beer geeks in the extreme. Go here if you can, but don’t tell too many people.
