    Hush Puppies
    Hiral D.

    Awesome spot to enjoy food and drinks! And the COVID system is awesome. You add your name to a waitlist to be seated outdoors. You also place your order and pay online so they try to keep it as contact free as possible. I had the rose cider and ordered mac and cheese, hush puppies and fries...because I was trying to be healthy. I enjoyed everything! My friends ordered the burger and onion rings and enjoyed it as well. Prices are very reasonable. They also have outdoor heaters so they'll be well prepared for winter and colder weather. We were also treated to a round of the offshoot hazy ipa since the brewmaster happened to be here. He bought a round for everyone and it was really nice of him! I look forward to coming back!

    Garden District always delivers: consistently excellent food, beer, wine, service, and atmosphere. Also very dog-friendly. They serve up some of the best BBQ around. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but their fried chicken sandwich is phenomenal (a constant craving). They have a thoughtful, intriguing, well-balanced offering of beer, and perhaps unexpectedly, a delightful and unique selection of wine, and they make an effort to secure some limited releases and other special, novel, or somewhat rare items. You can also find cider, liquor (including some approachable, good bourbon), hard seltzer, and non-alcoholic beverages on the menu. GD are good people: the staff are welcoming, knowledgeable, and on top of it, and provide excellent, no-frills service that keeps the food and drink moving and the vibe laid back. They give a damn about their business and about you. Also, even at their busiest, the bathrooms are clean and stocked, which is a testament to their diligence and care. With the prime location, ample outdoor space, and wide appeal of beer garden fare, GD doesn't have to go as hard as it does. Garden District would be my go-to spot just from the dependably excellent food, drink, and convenience alone, but above all, it is their diligent and friendly staff and the easy, convivial environment they work so hard to provide that keeps me (and basically everyone I know) coming back. That, and my apparent addiction to their fried chicken. FYIs: It's outdoor patio self-seating, mostly large shared picnic tables and some smaller 2-4 tops. Usually not hard to find a spot and people are friendly and generally willing to make room for a small group/pair when it's packed. Order with QR codes at your table, but you can also order from the bar. Service is pretty quick. Self-serve water from either of the two jugs (there are sleeves of plastic cups next to them), which are constantly refilled with fresh, cool water. There are powerful, ample heaters for cool days, and huge umbrellas for mild rain. On days with heavy rain/severe storms, they may close--check their Instagram @thebeergarden for updates.

    I'm on a mission this holiday season to hit every single festive bar in the city. This weekend I went to Garden District which was beautifully decorated with all the things one needs to feel cheerful. Plus it was outdoors for ~maximum ventilation~ & had heaters for the chilly nights! That being said, I also like to leave my house a maximum of one time a week lol so i don't know how feasible this goal is but its nice to dream! I had a chicken sandwich with jalapeño coleslaw but I was so hungry & ate it too fast before taking a good picture

    Came here for a quick drink while waiting for a reservation at Le Diplomate and this place came thru! We ordered 2 different kinds of beer. I ordered the tiniest size because I was about to eat brunch so I didn't want to fill myself up with carbs haha. My boyfriend is obsessed with German beer and he really liked this place a lot! The place was a small beer garden in the Logan Circle neighborhood. It's by a corner street and there are only outside seating so don't go when it's raining. There are umbrellas covering the chairs so I guess you can still go when it's not raining as hard. We sat by the picnic tables connected to the tree and I love people watching from there. I believe you can order wine too. I also saw from other reviews that you can order a whole pigs head barbequed and eat it, LIKE WHAT?! I want to do that, I will update my review when my friends and I do that haha! But it said you have to order in advance because they only cook 2 pig's heads apparently. This place is definitely great when the weather is nice. Not sure if there are bathrooms but there are fans attached to the door walls that will provide some air during hot weather. Definitely would come back here again to try the other beers and also to try out their food menu (hint: bbq pig's head)

    Chicago dog and onion rings

    Love this place. Nice outdoor beer garden. Simple. Good service. Good beer selection with a simple food menu. Chicago dog was amazing and onion rings were great too. Definitely recommend.

    Beef brisket sandwich, I asked for BBQ sauce on the side...
    Kosar K.

    Loved their beef brisket sandwich! It was the best one i had so far! They're also very generous about the amount of beef they put in their sandwiches! Highly recommended...

    Great selection of beers - seasonal summer selection is very refreshing to enjoy outdoors on a balmy summer afternoon. The area is really busy but we don't feel pressured to eat or drink quickly. We ordered a few rounds over the course of a few hours and had a really relaxing time with some friendly service. The grilled cheese required a much longer wait compared to the drinks.

    A Heff at the Standard

    14th street continues to rise from obscurity into the next "go to" neighborhood in NW with the addition of it's own Beer Garden. Just in time for amazing temperatures, the Standard gives German and American beer staples in a no frills out door location on the corner of 14th and S street, a location that used to be a Garden District store (now across the street in a larger space). Thier beer menu is short, about 10 beers, 5-6 on tap but with Heffs, lagers and IPAs from microbrews both domestic and international, they have everything you'd want, taste wise, for a good price (between $5-10 for a liter)! There is some inside seating at bar stools but the best part of the garden is to snuggle up to their large wooden tables with some friends (or make new friends). They have wall mounted heaters for cooler evenings, and they are building additional seating along side the building. The menu has some sausages, BBQ, pretzels and fries for nosh, but the very small upstairs kitchen was quickly overwhelmed and they stopped taking orders when we arrived! Fast and friendly service and the dire need for more outdoor seating spaces on 14th street guarantees this place a strong client base through the fall! I can't wait to return! I just hope they add a few more bathrooms!

This restaurant is exclusively for the second version. I don't come here often because I respect myself. But when I do? Oh, it's a whole event. The smoked wings are everything, the ribs hold up every single time, the smoked chicken is to die for, and that potato salad has absolutely no business being that good. Bonus: one order feeds me for like three days. Three. Days. The portion sizes alone deserve a five-star review. This is my naughty place and I am at peace with that.

The wings were seasoned just right and honestly didn't need sauce. If you want one though, go with the cilantro ranch. The BBQ sauce wasn't sweet or smoky, I'm still trying to figure out what the flavor was. Also, I got 9 drums and 3 flats, which was a little off, I'd prefer a 6/6 split. Online you cannot do all flats or all drums The spicy greens are meat-free and I even called both to make sure. had good flavor, but they were more sweet and spicy to me not just spicy. Service / Timing: The cashier wasn't very welcoming. No hello, no thank you, nothing. That definitely stood out for these prices. Value: Pretty pricey for what I got. My total was $27.55 for 12 wings and greens. HIGH Highlight: WINGS. Wrap-Up: Despite the service and the price, the food was good. I will be back for the wings!

The brisket was pretty good. Not the best I ever had. However, it had great texture and was thick cut. Dipped in their bbq sauce- it was even better. The grilled wings were great. Fat juicy drums! *I gave my aunt the flats, and she enjoyed them too. The brussels and esquites were great. Im not a big parmesan guy, but on the brussels it surprised me. The cornbread had a great texture as it was moist and held up nice; it wasn't dry and crumbly. I prefer my cornbread sweet though. Id pass on it next time. Upon request, the pickles were great, but the pickled onions not so much. They were more bitter and "onion'y" if you know what I mean (it tastes like they used white onions, the ones that go on hotdogs). Im used to them being a little sweet when I get them from bbq places and even Mediterranean spots. And lastly, I didn't like the blue cheese too much it was more bitter (im used to sweeter blue cheese similar to Ken's). Another thing I'd pass on in the future. Overall, the main courses and sides were good. I recommend and would go back again to get the same things and even try the white meat chicken.

I love how they have comfy sofas for you to wait for the rest foe your party to show up. It's a fun spot, friendly for couples, groups, or even on your own! From the appetizers, you gotta try the fried dumplings, seafood pancake, corn cheese, steamed egg, fish cake, japchae, and all the pickled items. Actually, just get 1 of everything! The honey pig sauce is my #1 although their yum yum sauce is much improved and don't forget the simple sesame oil with salt or the ssamjang. Other kbbq spots have tried to make their own HP sauce but it's just not the same. Be prepared to cook for yourself although it is kinda fun and communal. Our favorite meats are the hanger steak, beef brisket, bulgogi, and thinly sliced pork belly. Honorable mention is the spicy pork bulgogi.

The brisket is the true star of the show: slow-cooked over an open flame, it's fall-apart tender with just the right amount of bark and smoke. Each bite melts in your mouth, rich with flavor that can only come from hours in the pit and a whole lot of BBQ love. This spot isn't just about the meat (though, let's be honest, you could stop there and leave happy). They've also turned part of the space into a mini market that sells fresh local produce, prime cuts of meat, a curated wine selection, and even small-batch ice cream. It's like a one-stop shop for food lovers, whether you're dining in or taking a piece of the experience home. The atmosphere still nods to its past life--exposed beams, condiment stations, and vintage signage add to its cool, industrial vibe. It's the kind of place that feels both laid-back and unforgettable, perfect for a casual lunch or impressing out-of-town guests. If you're looking for a truly unique dining experience where the food is as memorable as the setting, this place delivers.
