Steins started with one guy, a trip to Germany, and a simple question: why doesn't something like this exist back home? Eleven years later, it's Mountain View's gathering place.
Steins Beer Garden | Our Story
The Spark: Germany, 2006
Ted Kim had never run a restaurant when he flew to Germany. What he found there — beer under chestnut trees, strangers at communal tables — became the blueprint for Steins.

It took seven hard-won years to bring that vision to life. In March 2013, Steins opened on Villa Street in downtown Mountain View — and the taps have been flowing ever since.

Tucked behind the main dining room is one of Mountain View's best-kept secrets — a hidden patio strung with lights, built for long evenings and easy conversation.
Made From Scratch, Every Day
Our kitchen starts everything from scratch — burgers, pretzels, and a NEVER EVER meat program that goes alongside 31 rotating craft pours. We cook the way we host: with pride.
