100 BEERS ON TAP LOS ANGELES

“For the most part the atmosphere at the Los Angeles Biergarten is a very pleasant and comfortable one - No Rush… because beer is better enjoyed in each and every sip. To us, beer is one of those “Great Equalizers” in life, everyone can sit and enjoy it as a community,” owner Sergio Vazquez.

ith the temperature rising, The Los Angeles Biergarten is the ideal spot to watch a game, grab some of Downtown’s favorite beers, and catch up with some old friends and make some new friends at the bar or at their main dining room.

ocated at 750 South Broadway, the Los Angeles Biergarten opened in September of 2015 with the goal of serving the residents of the Jewelry District, and visitors to the Downtown area. The space it occupies is nearly 4,000 sq. ft. and it’s situated right along with many bustling theaters, retail stores, and emerging new businesses along Broadway on the ground floor of the historic Chapman Building.

The Chapman, a 13-story beaux arts building, was constructed in 1912, more than a decade before Broadway became downtown’s jazziest entertainment district, lined with motion picture palaces.

The Los Angeles Investment Co. built it at a cost of $1 million. Designed by architect Ernest McConnell, the building was said to be fireproof. It has mahogany doorways, sweeping marble stairways and wroughtiron letters “LA” marking each stair railing.

In 1920, Charles Clarke Chapman -Fullerton’s first mayor and the chief benefactor of Chapman University -bought the building for $1.6 million.

The so-called Orange King of California -- who built his fortune on citrus and real estate -- made it his headquarters.

He added bronze elevator doors ornately embossed with the letter “C”.

Steps away from L.A. Biergarten, is the iconic Globe Theater, it boasts the title; First Legitimate Broadway Theater, predating the Big Apple!

The luminous marquee, with its bold block letters, draws in crowds like moths into a bug zapper. Once in the Broadway Downtown Theater District, why not kick back and enjoy a cold frosty one at the Los Angeles Biergarten.

Dodgers “Slam” The Padres On Opening Day

T

The post-Vin Scully era started with a close game until the third inning. The Los Angeles Dodgers season started with a resounding win over the visiting San Diego Padres 14-3, as they flexed their muscles hitting four home runs.

The post-Vin Scully era started with a close game until the third inning.

Then our Boys in Blue broke the game open with a grand slam by Joc Pederson, followed by another dinger hit in almost the same location by catcher Yasmani Grandal. Grandal would add another home run from the right side as the home run assault continued. A 6-1 lead at that point and more than enough runs for Dodger pitcher Clayton Kershaw.

The Dodgers ace improved to 5-0 on opening day, and his 0.93 ERA is the best of all time.

“If we keep scoring in double-digit runs, I think I’ll have a good year,” Kershaw joked. Wally Moon and legendary Skipper Tommy Lasorda threw out the first pitch. The backdrop resembled a postcard, the palm trees gently swaying as the sun set. It’s time for Dodgers Baseball!
