    Great place to sit outside and have some wine or beer (reasonably priced, too!) and snacks...the boiled peanuts were awesome and apparently it doesn't get too crowded during the week.

    One of our favorite hot new spots to drink outdoors. Best part - they have board games to keep you busy while you sip a beer.

    Climb up to this new rooftop oasis where you can nom on “numb chips” – aptly named Szechuan pepper chips – whilst swigging a Japanese or German beer. Winner’s circle worthy indeed.

    The Frozen Kirin Ichiban is pretty interesting here, it's 90% regular beer with a frozen beer head. Refreshing for the summer.

    Head to the second floor balcony of the Thomson Hotel, where you'll find a summer oasis with board games and a very generous Rosé pour.

    A great place with a great view to grab a beer on a warm night, but watch out: there's limited seating and it gets crowded early.

    Great outdoor space on summer nights! Closes at 10, but sometimes the bartenders are nice to let you stay longer ;)

    Hooray for board games but the pong table (& the bros surrounding it) will make you feel like you're still at your first frat party.

    It's a nice spot to gather with some friends or co-workers after a long day, however the bar menu options are very disappointing compared to what is available inside.

    Fun atmosphere. You can eat, play board games, and have one of many drinks to help you relax.

    All the games are missing pieces but I'd still recommend this pretty chill outdoor spot.

    $10 wine carafes, a sun drenched deck, ping ping and board games. There's nothing wrong with this place.

    This place gets the late day sun; sunglasses are a happy hour must.

    Not really a beer garden so much as a bar with long tables. Only one beer on tap, and the rest is bottled! Skip it for sure!

    This is far from a beer garden, a poor excuse for a Blue Ribbon brand. Go elsewhere.
