A friend of mine and Jerry’s was celebrating her 25th birthday at a place called The Biergarten at The Standard in NYC. It was pretty neat to have my sister with me. I haven’t actually gone out to a bar with her before. The place had its pluses and minuses but overall we had a good time.
If you are ever in the NYC area looking for a beer garden in the Lower East Side, then, well, this is one. My biggest complaint was the odd ticket system they employ. You have to wait in line to get tickets to then wait in line to get any food or drink. This is after waiting in line to actually get in, of course.
But regardless the food wasn’t bad and the atmosphere was pretty interesting. Having a nice big table with all our friends was neat too. There were even foosball and ping pong tables if you like playing games while you drink.
