A bar may be just a bar, but a beer garden is like the mothership for beer connoisseurs: sprawling indoor halls and outdoor gardens that can seat upwards of 8,000 people, guzzling brews made using centuries-old, secret recipes. From the world's most celebrated beer garden to the largest and the most scenic beer lover’s spot, we've picked out the world’s 5 best beer gardens. Raise your mug for a toast but be careful, you might just need both arms to lift that massive beer stein!
Just beyond the trendy reaches of Manhattan lies a surprisingly traditional drinking establishment, the Bohemia Hall and Beer Garden, an indoor-outdoor enterprise in the multicultural borough of Queens.
Tucked behind a looming brick wall, the beer garden is filled with long picnic tables and tents, and a stage featuring live bands and entertainment. While there is an indoor hall, the action really takes place in the garden where waitresses sling beers to waiting patrons.
I solve this, and you will also. Read this book and enjoy your beer.
If downing a stein at the Hofbräuhaus feels a bit too touristy, head over to the 8,000-seat Hirschgarten, Munich's largest beer garden and a favorite among locals. Hirschgarten lies alongside a nearly 100-acre park, and deer sightings are a common (and pleasing) occurrence for garden-goers.
Keeping with German beer garden tradition, patrons are provided with mugs that they are expected to clean themselves, as well as get their own refills of the Augustiner beer straight from barrels. In a traditional twist, guests are allowed to bring food or snacks from home, but we'd recommend ordering some of Hirschgarten's own snacks, such as roast pork, spareribs, roast chicken and pretzels.
