I enjoy craft beer and brewpubs, when on vacation we stay away from chain restaurants. This place was great. Know problem getting seats and the service was very help full, bring samples of different beer for us to try.

After a long day walking at the Zoo, we rewarded ourselves with a trip to Karl Strauss and we weren't disappointed. The beers are so tasty.

They were very knowledgeable about the selection. And if the beer and food doesn't interest you, go for the people watching.
