Bier Garten

Mazatlán


This friendly back yard, strewn with picnic tables and cushions for lounging on, is a must for beer connoisseurs. Owner Brian sources over 100 – from the US, Mexico, various parts of Europe and further afield, with five types of authentic wurst (German sausage) sizzling on the grill as a worthy accompaniment. Burgers and ribs also receive high accolades.
