| - We came here after a (very) long day trip to the Grand Canyon... didn't walk in until close to 10 PM. The bar was fairly dead due to the U2 concert being held down the block, which was A-OK for me. Obviously with a name like Gordon Biersch, German-style beers are the mainstay, including Hefes, Schwarzbiers, and others.
For beer, I started off with the Golden Export (which went surprisingly well with my very large pulled pork sandwich) and later had a Schwarzbier. Both were pretty darn good.
The food was made pretty quickly, though I don't know how much of that had to do with the U2 concert and/or the time of night. Our server was friendly and even asked if my dad wanted only half a slice of double-fudge cake since it was so big. The pork sandwich was very flavorful and the coleslaw lining the lower bun contrasted perfectly with the tangier barbecue sauce. I wasn't sold on the chips, though. They were hot, but they were bland, even with the bit of seasoning they came with.
I'd go back, sure, but I think I prefer Four Peaks more. I'm willing to give GB the benefit of the doubt on the chips, as maybe it was an off-night or just with being so late or whatever. But even though I like the styles of beer they have, I like the wider variety the Peaks locations have.
