DC has been long overdue a good biergarten, especially since New York City has had a few for awhile. Finally the District is catching up! So I was really excited to try this place, and I was very pleased. Both the inside and the outside give off that warm, Bavarian vibe and their selection of beers is amazing, much much longer than the food menu (as it should be). The waiters are pretty good at giving suggestions according to what kind of beer you generally like. There seemed to be quite a bit of open space indoors that I felt could be filled with more seating, but the outdoor area has plenty of space - the hosts and waiters encourage you to share tables with strangers which works when most seating is taken. You'll get pretty friendly after a couple of beers anyways.
Pros: great selection of beers, good German food
Cons: limited seating inside, outside gets very crowded
