DTLA LIFE MAG #20 | AUGUST 2015 | Page 19

And now for something completely different. The young but storied chef, Bernhard Mairinger, is serving modern Austrian street food in a far more casual setting than his former Beverly Hills restaurant – becoming the newest offering on the Spring Arcade roster of eateries. Imbiss means snack but also refers to the small food stands found in Austrian villages. BierBeisl Imbiss is small and casual, but first rate. Whether you want to start your day with some Viennese coffee (known for being beautifully balanced) and freshly baked Austrian pastries, grab a $4 sandwich as you breeze through the arcade, finish a night out with friends with $15 sausage sampler and Austrian beer, or just catch up over some glasses of wine, BierBeisl Imbiss aims to be a both a great place to grab and go or linger. Mairinger clearly recalls late nights after working at Patina and being hard pressed to find more than a taco truck open after midnight in DTLA. By being open from 8a.m.-2a.m., 7 days a week, BeirBeisl is a relaxed setting for friends to gather throughout the day and into the night.
