Treats for Tall Folks: Anyone Over 6'7" Eats Free at Bierbeisl During June

Chef Bernhard Mairinger's comforting Austrian fare is almost as much of a wow factor as his height. Mairinger, who has recently hosted dinners with the city's smallest chef Flynn McGarry, stands at a whopping 6 feet 7 inches tall (plus 2/3 of an inch if you're getting nitpicky). He's re-launched a challenge that he did last year for the month of June, offering anyone taller than him a free meal.
Most folks in L.A. that stand that tall are likely on the Clippers or the Lakers, which is fine because it's not like they have any ball to be playing in the finals or anything. Might as well head over to Beverly Hills for a free meal.
In order to redeem your prize, you have to be measured without shoes in the restaurant. If you are indeed past the mark, you'll get an entree and dessert. (Booze and beer are not included in your winnings.)
Of course, if you're not a beanpole, there are ways to get a cheap deal, like their sensational happy hour, which offers $7 sausages and 10 oz. draft beers.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
