No other places to drink in New York offer as authentically Bavarian an experience as you are going to find in this much-loved indoor-outdoor beer garden, owned and operated by the multi-generational Schneider family, pours a superb selection of lagers, Pilsners, wheat beers, and dark brews to an appreciative, pleasure-seeking crowd of low-frills locals, off-the-boat Germans, and – as logic would dictate – urbanized frat boys. Freshly baked Bavarian pretzels, baked Camembert with lingonberry jam, and, yes, weiner schnitzel, are satisfying and authentic. There is sidewalk seating during sunnier months, while wood communal tables keep things chummy indoors.
