But the kitchen was backed up a lot that food was taking too long to come out so we left still hungry. To put it in perspective, we had a reservation at 6pm. Our shared appetizers didn't even arrive until 6:45p. At 7:15p we asked if the kitchen even started on our main dishes and unfortunately they did not so we canceled our order because we had to leave soon for concert. Idk if this was a one off situation or common experience when they get busy on the weekends but this was not an ideal experience to say the least.

It ended up being Trivia Night on Thursdays at 7:30pm, so we decided to stay for it until 9:30pm. Thus, we ended up drinking many more rounds here. I had the cider while he had Guinness on tap, which was solid. The space started during the Pandemic in a garage, thus the name. It's cozy, but able to fit a good amount of people in a 2-car garage space. Nice, local spot for drinks and hanging out. They also have video games, darts, etc. for your entertainment too.

Vegans can enjoy this Biergarten with a full spread of four vegan sausage options and extra…read moretoppings with dozens of beers as well. I'm not vegan, but I like places I can enjoy with vegans. I had the not-for-vegans Cheddar Brat with Carmelized Onions and side of fries. The brat is on the small side but very flavorful and satisfying with the bretzel bun and stone ground mustard. The Carmelized onions were nice, but not neccessary for flavor. If I were to come back, I would just go for two brats on Bretzel buns and skip the side fries. The fries are natural cut, but likely frozen or double fried, which makes them taste more like oily starch than fried potato. The draft cider was cold and did well outside on the wood slat table with the help of the sturdy coaster. Bonus- dogs can hang with you outside, but need to stay outside while you step inside to order at the bar. Food took about 15min for prep and delivery around 5pm on a Wednesday. Outside seating is sidewalk adjacent without an awning for rain, but a tree can offer some shade.

There is a trailer set up, like a legit RV in the back that folks can go into with seating. It's dog friendly and the margaritas were strong with the right amount of sweet. The food comes from a food truck located outside within the outdoor area. I liked it a lot. It felt like a secret garden type of bar. Definitely a chill neighbor gem.

I also got the chance to meet one of the owners, Taylor, who was friendly & very knowledgeable on the beers. Thank you for a great conversation. Overall, this is a great spot that I can definitely see becoming one of my regular go-to places. Looking forward to many more visits. Thank you Maddie & Taylor See you soon.

They've got a food menu and other drinks besides beer, including nonalcoholic options, but I was especially impressed with their tap selection and cans available in the fridge. Bartenders were awesome, and this place is great for having way more space than you'd expect when you first walk in! There's more seating past the bar in the back. The big differentiator is an outdoor patio area that's perfect for the nice weather. If I lived nearby I'd be out there pretty much all summer.

Like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, I tapped my ruby red Crocs and landed in the Red Hook waterfront on a HHH day. NY Mag offered a free 7 ounce beer of my choice. I was also going to order food. However, Truman explained that " on weekends the pop up food markets are here or patrons bring food to picnic". He suggested Red Hook Kitchenette to purchase sandwiches and bring it back and dine here. ( which I did, see separate review for RHK). I asked for suggestions on an IPA that is citrusy and he suggested the Hazy IPA Wolf in the Garden. WITG has hints of tropical fruit, stone fruit and orange peels. An IPA Fawn approved. They serve beer, cider, wine and spirits. The interior is rustic with wood tables, soft lighting and just a chill beer. The outside picnic tables face the waterfront and Lady Liberty, what a view! Sipping my beer in the sweet sunshine. I am falling in love with NY crafted beer and IPA. Strong Rope will become a Fawn fave fast. Many thanks to Truman who is friendly, has extensive beer knowledge and made a great lunch suggestion. Cheers!

You only need 1-2 to feel relaxed. :) The beer prices are great too. The vibe here is great, with a lot of seating options and card + board games to keep you occupied. Dog friendly as well! I was able to get a bowl of water for my little one. Nice views of the water too if you prefer to sit outside. I like how it is bring your own food. I saw a small group having a little birthday party and they had pizza and a cake that they brought. I went to the Food Bazaar grocery a block or two away and got a sandwich from their deli to bring to the brewery. Next door is a cidery, I think a different owner. Outrageously expensive ($17 for a small glass of cider? lol). Stick to strong rope! They do have a cider or two on their menu normally. 2 minutes away is Steve's Key Lime Pie - recommend if you like frozen key lime pies on a stick dipped in chocolate ;)
