Profile

This cheery indoor beer garden may not quite conjure the Bavarian Alps, but it's still a welcome respite from the claustrophobic Sturm und Drang of so many East Village booze parlors. The long tables and bench seating are especially suited to large groups; bowls of big pretzels are regularly refreshed; and the menu, though limited, nevertheless offers all three of the German dishes you've heard of. And of course, the beer: 13 tasty Teutonic brews are on tap, served in sturdy steins that encourage enthusiastic toasts (and you'll know you're in the full spirit of the place when you find yourself making them often). — Andrew Yamato

Brunch

Sat.–Sun., 1 p.m.–5 p.m.

Came for a friend's birthday with a party of 6 and sat at a table. Waitress with glasses gave us a difficult time because we weren't buying meals. She kicked 3 people off the table next to us because they were only drinking, and not eating. We bought finger food and beers that came out to a $200 tab. She gave us a dirty look and was absolutely rude to us the whole time. She ended up adding gratuity to our check of course given her lousy attitude. I have no idea how this lady is employed as a waitress at a bar in NYC. On the plus side, the beer was good as you would expect from German beer but never coming here ever again. If you want a good beer garden experience, I'd recommend Astoria.

Great place to grab a drink with friends!

I had a group of friends in town for a big football match and we made our way over here sometime in the afternoon (1 or 2). We got a seated on the sidewalk, which was great for relaxing and doing some people watching. The service was great (especially for dealing with eight guys who'd been drinking since 7am) and the beer selection was not the standard you see at most bars. It was nice to try some different brews and get to drink them in proper glasses. I'll be going back for sure.
