Nicole FormicaMay 31, 2016Favorite bar in Brooklyn. Be sure to pair your liter of beer with a bratwurst from the back grill. Order a giant pretzel! Get the beer cheese! Celebrate, because now your life is complete!

Rebecca BalnisDecember 20, 2016Affordable. Dependable. A go to stop after a night of drinking in Williamsburg.Upvoted Sep 26
İpek A.April 24, 2016I love this Biergarten which is in Williamsburg. It's moderately cheap, live music on weekends, delicious sausages & good variety of beers. Don't forget to order Munich Pretzel
S. O.August 14, 2018Williamsburg is a must see in NYC. Radegast has a wide selection of beer&sprits. Traditional beer garten, Munchen style. Beer prices OK. Food expensive. Weihenstephaner & Köstritzer tap recommended.
Ashley ChanJuly 23, 2017Always a fun time here with a group. They offer a sweet happy hour deal on weekdays for a liter of beer and sausage for 16 bucks. There's live music on top of the great food and drinks too.
Mathias MaciossekJuly 11, 2016This is what German dad (73yo) said: The atmosphere is 9/10, beer selection 7/10 (no beer from Baden-Württemberg!). It's definitely worth it to visit this place!
CITY GRITAugust 8, 2014One of our friends made the joke that this is the perfect spot if you’re part hipster and part Viking. While we’re neither, we still love the Radegast vibe, as well as the pretzels and the live jazz!
Village VoiceAugust 15, 2014The terrine mixing the livers of rabbits and chickens is superb, served with a plethora of toasts; while the roast quail in demi glace is the equal of any found in a fancy French restaurant. Read more- Solène MaîtreNovember 24, 2014My favorite Biergarten in Brooklyn. Get the Sünner Kölsch beer and a bratwurst from the grill. it's not on the Food menu but the grill is hidden at the back and you have to get there to order!
Dushyant BalasubramaniJuly 8, 2018Besides the HB on draft this is one of the 2-3 places in New York which offers Pilsner Urquell on draft. Lovely open space for an evening out with friends
The coolest beer place in the town. Very European style and every beer is so tasty. The venue is so cosy and grilled sausages are so tasty. My favorite in Williamsburg.
Lia D'AmicoMay 13, 2013One of the best places I've been to in NY. Sharing the huge tables with groups of strangers make it even more interesting. Order the Weihenstephan, it's the oldest operating brewery (1.040).
Simply the best beer garden in all of NYC. Dare to take the L train to find German beer & grilled food goodness in this authentic, unassuming environment. Perfect for Sunday Fundays.
CompassJuly 24, 2013The beer hall has a come-one-come-all, communal atmosphere. Wash down your heavy schnitzels and blintzes with a hearty glass of the best beers that Belgium and Germany have to offer.
Come on a Saturday afternoon with some friends and a deck of cards for a better version of day-drinking :)
Such a fun beer hall, with an inside bar and seating. Get a kielbasa from the grill with French fries and a giant pretzel! Live music almost every night.
Lauren HansenJanuary 8, 2016Fun atmosphere on a casual weeknight (stay away on weekends). Band was playing, great food. Only complaint was that the bartender put all 3 bills together and left w/out letting us ask to split 3 ways
Brian ChaAugust 7, 2014Love getting beer, pretzels and all the different sausages here. Great atmosphere with a retractable roof in one section. Great for large groups.
loran jonakNovember 25, 2015Lots of German beers and a few others from around Europe. Beers you've probably never heard of for $7-$45. Fun place with live music. Bar seating plus in side room long bench seating
Nisa GOctober 14, 2014Oktoberfest feeling in Brooklyn! Very good selection of beer and great grills cooked just next to you. Both sausages and burgers arw great accompanies to great beer.
Lisa GruneauDecember 7, 2014Amazing live band! A nice German atmosphere in the dining area, and sausages with sour cabbage made the entire experience very authentic
Radegast HallJuly 14, 2013Every Tuesday night we open the Bier Haus for beer tastings and flights. We have 9 taps that are devoted to Specialty & Seasonal European Craft Beers that rotate weekly. Tuesdays 7pm in the back!
Paulo del ValleNovember 6, 2016The sausage platter is very good! We tried the Bratwurst, Kielbasa and Argetinian sausages. There were all delicious!
Lauren NavarroMarch 17, 2014Great beer hall in Williamsburg with some great grilled food. Don't forget to go next door for your chocolate dose at Mast Brothers.
Amar BMarch 5, 2015Great beer selection and food, especially the pretzels. Great atmosphere also. The only knock is that I would like to see German style roasty potatoes instead of fries.
Mariana BernasconiMay 16, 2013As a vegetarian I can't vouch for the sausages but as an Austrian I can say they looked really authentic. ;) The fries were delicious. Wish they had more veggie options! Great atmosphere!
Kelly PJanuary 3, 2016Ask for the grill menu and the sides are massive so be careful with the amount of food you order. The beer menu is awesome!!
Paola GuerreroDecember 13, 2016$27 pitchers are cool, love the live music on Friday nights (Hudson Horns rocked it last time). Mixed crowd. Minimal assholes.
TiffanyMarch 21, 2016Huge beer garden/hall for you to come with a big group. Music is a little overwhelming but get the dry cider or the sunner kolsh if you prefer something lighter and crisp.
Geoffroy BablonJuly 17, 2014Come here on a weeknight for great, none-too-crowded beer or three. There might be some like folk music (or there might not). If that's too calm for you, head across the street to The Levee.
Best social gathering spot in North Brooklyn--great atmosphere, great beer selection--and to add to it--incredible food; best cooked pork chop you can get anywhere.
Serious EatsSeptember 15, 2013Surprisingly civilized beer garden with a great draft and bottle list, reliable sausages, and pricey but delicious pretzels.
Urban OysterJuly 29, 2011In addition to a great beer selection and delicious food, this place often hosts jazz and swing bands that give it a great atmosphere - like a real music-filled biergarten from Williamsburg's past!
Keir HamiltonMay 9, 2013If you are looking for answers at the bottom of your glass, get one of the 0.5L beers as you probably forget what you were looking for if you get a 1L! Ohhh, this beer is gooood!
My usual: Schneider Weisse (1L) and anything from the grille. Perfect spot for out of town guests or a fun date. A guys guys spot that girls will love too.- Everyone comes here because it has great beer, great food and a great vibe. I reckon it's not possible to not enjoy oneself here.
As far as bier halles are concerned, this place hits it out of the park with a large indoor space, live oompa bands, a winding bar, dozens of beers and a pretty solid grill offering in the back corner Read more
Caitlin LJune 23, 2016Giant German beer hall in Williamsburg. The food is pretty tasty and good beer selection!
Muhammed BulutJune 2, 2015They've very tasty fries and sandwiches with sausages. I had tried lamb and beef ones. Place is very otantic. Highly highly requested.- SukiSeptember 20, 2020Giant mug of beer on a picnic table with a loud brass band, best way to spend a Sunday afternoon
Would recommend getting there before the invasion of frat bros...but if you can and are lucky enough to see the High and Mighty Brass Band its the best.
Becca BlazedellNovember 12, 2017If you love a bunch of knee boot girls screaming anytime anything happens and a bunch of dudes that are self proclaimed “weekend warriors then this is your spot p.s. if your waitress is Kim, good luck
Gi EdgingtonAugust 2, 2015I was very impressed by this beer garden. Best one I've seen in NY so far. Good food, good drinks, a lot of fun!
Lauren MacMarch 14, 2016Great beer, great selection, great diversity of customers. Perfect for a weekend day to chill and enjoy each other's company.
Alper BahçekapılıSeptember 20, 2016They do have a huge selection of beers. Place and atmosphere is unbeatable. And the jazz bands playing in here are very talented.
Jan JongeneelJanuary 2, 2019Great selection of German and other beers. Great currywurst. All in an Oktoberfest type setting.
