This must be a huge mistake. “Beerfest” at the Kyoto Hotel Garden is
nothing like “Beerfest” the movie or Oktoberfest. There is no polka music,
or beer steins…actually they have only 6 types of beer and the scene wasn’t
very festive.

Despite being bamboozled into attending Beerfest, it was still a pretty good
time. The Japanese Garden is on the top of the Kyoto Hotel and is a serene
escape from the skid row crackheads skittering around below. Along with some
views of downtown, there was a chill jazz trio. Of course they didn’t really agree with
the “Beerfest” theme, but they still added to the relaxed atmosphere in the garden.

The real draw here is the garden; NOT the stale chips and the Applebees variety
 of Beer… so just skip the event and head to the garden if you are in the area.

But just in case, you want to go to the event:

(let’s just start calling it Jazz in the Garden)

It goes until September 20th 2008. Tuesday-Friday 5:00-9:00pm
(10:00pm on Fridays).
