A solid day drinking spot to spend the day. Brightly decorated with fun colors. Have 2 food trucks on site. Plenty of seating. We went on a rainy evening and they had enough covered areas to seat everyone.Cocktails are all fairly sweet and about $14. I asked the bartender to half the simple syrup and they were very friendly and accompanying.

Crystal and Katrina put on the best Sunday drag show in the DC area. It’s hands down the best part of this establishment. Sad to hear they are only once a month instead of every Sunday this summer. 10/10 recommend.

Sunday’s Kiki at Wundergarten with Crystal Edge and Katrina "The Hurricane" Colby is my FAVORITE drag show in DC! This outdoor beer garden is a gorgeous event venue that's typically empty unless there's a soccer game or Drag Queens. Even during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Kiki provided a safe space for lip sync numbers, sense of community, love, sass, and bingo! (Super clean new bathrooms too)

Went on a Saturday afternoon, and it was packed! We were able to find seating after a few laps around the place. We had a great time and even a plus is that they are dog friendly. The brats from CaliBurger were amazing as well.

As my first time to a biergarten, this was impressive though a bit haphazard owing to its pop-up origins. Drinks were varied and good, service was prompt, food was excellent. Try and reserve a cabana ahead of time for the best experience.

Great outdoor space with really great food truck options rotating through! And So. Many. Dogs!

I've been here multiple times and still love coming! It's a great place to meet up with friends or a date, especially if you plan on staying for a while. The selection is great and the option of your beer coming in a liter stein adds to the vibe!

It was a hidden gem. The private cabanas with outside heaters are super cool. the ability to svan a QR Code and have your drinks brought to you in just a min or two as well as Cali Burger and another food truck to choose from. I went on a Tbursday to play Drag Queen Bingo and had the best time. The show was fantastic and the Bingo games were hilarious. The prizes were shots and flare the girls brought for everyone.

So my feelings about this establishment is very conflicted. I wanted to get a cabana for my family as part of our Christmas festivities. From the very start this was a difficult process, because the website doesn't make choosing the cabana that you want easy at all. We had never been there and didn't know the names of each cabana. And they are all designed differently, so we just had to blindly choose one. Then the website has a specified time that you'll get the cabana for, but right before we came in, our alloted time was decreased. They tried to fix this by giving a simple explanation and decreasing the fee, but I wasn't really happy with this because a little over an hour is not enough time.Next, we get there and the actual cabana is already prepped with someone else's name on a sheet of paper plastered to the furniture. My family of course had questions, because why would you do that making us feel like we're using someone else's cabana? Next we try to order food, which is totally online. Unfortunately, the system was down. So now we're wasting the little time we have waiting for the system to come back up. Then we're told the food truck is not taking orders because they're restocking food. Ultimately, all we ordered were drinks and empanadas because that's all that was available the whole time we were there.I did reach out to the business about our experience and they never responded.This establishment is not completely awful as you'll see from the experiences that others had, but there are some issues. Customer service is no help when there's an issue. One lady tried to help us a lot, but she wasn't able to do much as a greeter. No one else that we spoke to that day really cared. Also keep in mind that this is not a restaurant or even comparable to a diner. It's real an outdoor bar. They have food trucks and either the food trucks are there or they aren't. Getting a cabana is only a good idea IF you know you'll be satisfied with just drinks in the event that no food trucks are working.We'd come back again but definitely only for drinks and we'd never pay for another cabana.

Disappointed to say the least. Children's party going on with screaming kids in the tent area. Staff was not friendly, or helpful. Positives: dog friendly and the burgers at the food truck were the best part.
