Scenes from Steins Beer Garden 5-Year Anniversary Celebration

Steins Beer Garden celebrated its 5-year anniversary on March 31 with their annual pig roast BBQ menu along with special beers on tap.

We were very fortunate to be able to make it right at the start of the event.

It was wonderful, as always, to catch up with Chef Reade.

He provided an update regarding Gentry, the latest project for the folks at Steins, which is scheduled to open later this month on a soft opening basis.

Gentry will focus more as a cocktail bar and is located inside the new Residence Inn by Marriott at Main Street Cupertino (19429 Stevens Creek Blvd.), placing it very near the Steins Cupertino restaurant.

The food, beers, service and vibe were all excellent. It was another memorable visit to Steins.

I still remember the hard hat tour of Steins back in late 2012.

It’s been simply awesome to see their growth in popularity and as a business over the years. Congrats on reaching the five-year mark!

Prost! Gunbae! Cheers! to the five years and to many more!
