Sacramento’s first bar built from repurposed shipping containers, Der Biergarten brought something genuinely new to Midtown when it opened on the corner of 24th and K Streets. The concept is straightforward and unapologetic: an authentic, 100% outdoor German beer garden with communal wooden tables imported from Germany, a massive draft selection, and an atmosphere built around actually talking to the people around you. No TVs, no loud music — just good beer and good company.

The communal table setup isn’t just aesthetic — it’s intentional. You’re as likely to end up sharing a stein with a stranger as with the friends you came with, which is exactly the point. The open space accommodates cornhole, foosball, and ping pong, and the crowd skews dog-friendly and family-friendly during the afternoon before transitioning to a more grown-up vibe as the evening picks up. Being an outdoor-only venue, they close on rainy days — but on a warm Sacramento afternoon, there may not be a better patio in Midtown.

Thirty-two taps, with the emphasis firmly on German imports — Hofbräu, Paulaner, Radeberger, and their kin — alongside a rotating selection of local craft breweries. Order by the half-liter or go full stein. The Weihenstephaner Vitus is a standout worth seeking out, and specialty pours like the Schofferhofer Starburst (grapefruit hefeweizen and pomegranate cider) have developed their own following.

The menu sticks to light German-inspired fare and does it well. Giant soft pretzels served with specialty mustard and beer cheese are the obvious call, but the authentic sausages — sourced from a local German butcher — belgies, and old fashioned dogs round out a menu that pairs well with pretty much everything on tap.

Der Biergarten hosts a block-closing Midtown Oktoberfest Street Party each year — live music, outdoor stalls, the works. Throughout the year expect community events like trivia nights and fun runs woven into the weekly calendar. Check their socials for what’s coming up.
