Description:
DOWNTOWN. Eclectic Gordon Biersch Brewery is a popular chain brewpub known as much for its flavor-packed menu (great garlic mashed potatoes!) as for its fine selection of German ales and lagers. On weekends, it tends to get fairly loud and crowded and makes for a fun place to hang out, especially for folks between the ages of 21 and 35. During the summer, you'll probably happen upon a little live music when you stop in. |

The whole chicken fried in duck fat and served with truffled mac and cheese wins raves, and desserts are worth a splurge. |
