The Corcoran GroupNovember 6, 2010Grab a beer here during the week to escape the crowds! Definitely come here for the great beer selection, but stay for the pretzels and spatzle.
James HeadNovember 11, 2016heaven or utopia, on earth. german sausages, german beers on tap. sometimes a trio jazz band in the corner. waaaat.
UntappdJanuary 16, 2013This is a true beer garden in NYC! Enjoy live music on the weekends, great German craft beer and authentic food. Try the Pretzels!
Walk in transported to better time and place just good beer and good times they have band night which is awesome and the food is great this is not a beer Garden this is beer heaven
Brownstone Living NYCOctober 23, 2014Tasty bits and great liquor options.. A little dark inside for the spring/summer but great for the winter season.
Untapped CitiesNovember 16, 2014Radegast is a Williamsburg institution that stays packed and thankfully does not take reservations. When the summer months disappear, the beer garden (with retractable roof) is not as packed. Read more
I just found out the Radeberger is not the regular pilsner, but an unfiltered version served exclusively in the US here. Very different, yeasty like a Belgian ale. Worth trying
If you like beer & sausage, you can't go wrong. Taste every mustard with your giant pretzel.
Giant beer hall! Awesome space to grab a drink for any occasion. Perfect for groups. Good cocktails!
Monica CullenMarch 2, 2015Get there before 2pm with friends to claim a table in the main hall. Avoid being near the side entrance door in the winter, the wind is bitter!!!
Sarah TaylorFebruary 15, 2015A weird mix of kid friendly and hipster friendly due to the space and good beer selection. Nice brunch spot!
Vuk MilanovicOctober 21, 2015Mixed feelings. Bar area is kind of upscale-ish, while main area is Oktoberfest-ish. Relaxing atmosphere and music. Waiting staff can be slow. Great selection of beers though!
Lydia HammondMarch 23, 2013Weekend brunch is to die for. Gypsy Toast is hands down amazing, but you really can't go wrong with anything on the brunch menu.
Mariama RentoyAugust 17, 2014Knew how much I was drinking because beers are served in liters! 😉 Spacious place and we easily found seats on a saturday night! 😆
Andrew WisemanAugust 28, 2012Just really awesome. Inexpensive liters of good German beer and delicious German and Eastern European food. Pretzels and schnitzel recommended highly.
Marcel FelderDecember 17, 2016They have Früh Kölsch and original Hofbräu - nothing else to say ;) Try the Goulash!
Adam SchuitJune 10, 2015Favorite beer garden in NYC! Love this place and the food and beer it serves.
Lauren IanuziMarch 17, 2013On the weekends, get there early to claim a spot with games in hand. We brought Cards of Humanity on a Saturday afternoon and made a table of friends in 5 minutes.
Best pretzel and beer cheese ever - make sure you get the beer cheese, maybe even get extra beer cheese!!
Duncan PJSeptember 6, 2014Try a rauchbier if you have never tried one. They have a really nice smokey flavor
Thy DinhNovember 9, 2013One of the best beer halls in NYC. Get beers by the liter. Raderberg pilsner is pretty good and food is awesome.
Chris KarczDecember 28, 2011A little expensive, but god damn delicious- plus you get a huge glass to clink with your friends when you cheers. Plus you kind of feel like you're drinking at Hogwarts.
perfect place to get very drunk on strong beer. get a 5 liters of beer and dig in. then when you need it the most, get some food from the back.
Jess RSeptember 25, 2011Love! Love the environment very communal and makes for a great place to meet new people. Awesome beer selections and filling/yummy bratwurst sandwich with pretzel roll!
ConZergeOctober 20, 2013Want to take a break from Manhattan? Head out to this Biergarten in Williamsburg and sing along to Flock of Seagulls with pitchers of Weihenstephaner Vitus.
Trevor JohnJanuary 6, 2013Excellent selection of beer, if you aren't sure what to try just ask one of the bartenders, they are super knowledgeable about the beers on tap.
Very nice beer garden! They've many kinds of beer! And go there on a empty stomach, they've very tasty fries and sausages!
Rich KearneyNovember 18, 2012Most weekends it's packed with out-of-towners, but the food is good and the beer, while expensive, is delicious. Enjoy a week night!
Trevor HillJanuary 6, 2018Tasty pretzels, delicious sausages, and plenty of space to accommodate large groups
GNTLMNMay 7, 2012Radegast is technically not outdoors, but about 80% of the roof opens up so an actual breeze can be felt, and a nice outdoors style sunburn could be obtained. Great beer and German sausage selection.- Justin HolimanFebruary 10, 2020Live jazz was excellent. Surprisingly fast and attentive service for a crowded weekend. Order a pretzel!

Great place to grab a beer and a brat with friends. Live music
Brendan SpiegelFebruary 22, 2012This Eastern European-style beer garden offers Williamsburg partiers 55 selections of brews alongside a tasty collection of grilled meats and crispy fries. Read more
Come by on weekdays if you want to avoid the noisy B&T crowd that invade the neighborhood every weekend. Say something nice to Scott, who's behind the bar every Monday, and he may just buy you a beer! Read more
ViayraFebruary 2, 2017Huge beer selection! Bartender was really nice, and they have live music everyday. Cool place!
Men's Health MagMarch 31, 2015High blood pressure can be responsible for a range of health problems, but beer can lower your risk for hypertension, research suggests. Drink up, lower your blood pressure! Read more
Winki ChenNovember 14, 2014Good vibes. Very loud. Mostly self service. Not the best German food in town. Plenty of beers. Not cheap (well it's Williamsburg).
Samir NazirApril 18, 2017sometimes you realize beers with hundreds of years of development behind them taste better than those with a few years under their belt
Gabriel HayesSeptember 16, 2015Awesome place to go out in Williamsburg. One of the best Biergartens in NYC.
Clyde Kelly J.November 10, 2014Pretzels are the truth. Knowledgeable staff will help you find the right meal/drink combination. So much fun.- Amazing selection of beer. Get something from the grill :)
ReALTOJuly 26, 2012Make sure to try all the mustards with any pretzel or sausage. They are located in the back by the grill. They are REALLY good!
Joveem CainticMay 20, 2017Good for a big group. There is an awesome smell of sausages being cooked when you sit in the back area
AllisonDecember 5, 2014The kitchen is often overlooked once the amazing jazz bands start playing, but everything is top notch!
Adam MayMarch 28, 2016Huge place with good beer and food, but the lines can get long, there is another bar in the back!
