The Bier Garten is a pub and restaurant in the food court of the newly-renovated Plaza Hotel in Las Vegas. It is billed as a "beercraft and foodery" place, meaning that the emphasis is on craft beers and artisan sausages. It is a hip restaurant that contrasts with the McDonalds and Subway in the food court and supplements the trendy Zaba's Mexican grill, also in the same food court.
In addition to an indoor seating area, It will have an outdoor courtyard, so you can watch downtown Las Vegas go by while you sip your beer.
There is good people watching from here. I had a Shiner's Bock, and it was interesting, to say the least, to sip it as I watched pedestrians going up and down Main Street. It's generally a less affluent crowd in these parts of Vegas, but it's good to have a change from the Strip from time to time.
