Profile

Williamsburg’s Austro-Hungarian beer hall serves a deep selection of imported brews and Hofbräuhaus-style brats one block and half a hemisphere off the Bedford Avenue drag. Slovakian-born partners Ivan Kohut and Andy Ivanov gutted adjacent warehouses to create two distinct drinking spaces. The garden side boasts a retractable roof under which a grill man serves up sizzling meats and savory fries gobbled up at the long rows of wooden benches. Inside the "hall," patrons line the hand-hewn tables made from 150-year-old barn logs. Twelve drafts on tap or 37 beers by the bottle can be ordered at the polygonal red-oak bar or from one of the waitresses, who are occasionally cinched into full beer-wench regalia. Here, rib-clinging grub, whipped up by Ivan’s wife and executive chef Joanna, includes quail in Dunkel-beer sauce, veal schnitzel, stuffed blintzes, and a scrape-the-plate-delicious apple strudel.

Brats & beer? What more could a girl want?

EXCELLENT beer selection - my friends and I spend all night swapping beers and noshing on brats hot off the grill. We always have a great time here. Try to get there early on the weekends so you can grab a table. The food that comes from the kitchen is terrible, so I would stick with beer and whatever comes hot off the grill from the "brat stand" in the back.

Great beer and atmosphere, with grill to match

You'll find a great selection of beers at Radegast (i.e. no PBRs!), and the two large rooms provide an Oktoberfest feel, especially during the summer. The food is only so-so, but I'll admit that the hot-off-the-grill kielbasa was quite tasty after I polished off my big mug (it required two hands for lifting) of pilsner.
