catching up with schmidt’s brauhaus, south park’s new german restaurant
The last time angelenic checked in with Eugenia Chung and Klaus Schmidt about their new German restaurant — then called Brauhaus — back in March, a lease had just been signed for a 7,600 square-foot space at the corner of Olympic and Olive. The storefront was formerly occupied by Discount Tire Centers.
Since then, details have emerged and a new name has been chosen: Schmidt’s Brauhaus. Plans call for an indoor beer garden on one side of the space and “cozy German-style restaurant” on the other, said Chung.
Traditional German fare will be offered — sausage, pretzels, schnitzel and roasts — along with salads and vegetarian entrees. Chung and Schmidt hope to create a lively venue for watching soccer games and celebrating German cultural festivals such as Oktoberfest, Karneval and Maifest. For those dying to know, yes, that does include a selection of German beers.
The restaurant is slated to debut later this year, and more details should be forthcoming.

can’t wait for that. will there be an outdoor patio?
I hope they’re successful, not only to enliven that corner of downtown but also to give a more far-reaching international tone to Los Angeles. Right now the city has far more great examples of cultural influences originating from Asia and Central-South America than from Europe or a few other parts of the world. In fact, one of the region’s few famous classical French restaurants, L’Orangerie in Beverly Hills, closed not long ago and was replaced by a business that features Japanese cuisine.
Of course, excellent cuisine, no matter its style or background, is ultimately what counts more than anything else. However, all things being equal, I still like the idea that variety is the spice of life.
DAS IST GUT!
hurray! a local place for good German food. Will be looking forward to it.
There are a lack of good German restaurants in Los Angeles and this will be a great addition to Downtown. Red Lyon will have a little friendly competition now.
isnt there another sausage/beer place slated for lil tokyo/arts district?
Yes, that’s Wurstkuche, slated to open in August.
You know what’s odd? People of German ancestory make up the largest non-hispanic white group in Southern California… and not ONE decent German restaurant in LA.
Ed, it is called assimilation. That’s the way it works.
