Bowery Beer Garden

It's good but not perfect. Feels German and nice (I personally prefer harder pretzels not cakey but to each its own). Lots of good beer. Dark dimly lit inside, great outdoor (not really outdoor but an open roof kinda situation) seating.

My boyfriend and I came here for the ramen and sat in the beer garden because we got here too late. The ramen location is tucked into the back upstairs corner but you can get the ramen downstairs at the beer garden! My boyfriend and I shared the beef gyoza which tasted like a burger dumpling in a cool way. I got a lychee drink and it was amazing. We also both got the spicy tonkotsu ramen and as my boyfriend puts it - the pork in the ramen was life-altering. The fat in the pork just melts in your mouth and it has the BEST flavor ever. I almost cried. My bf has high standards and he loved it. The atmosphere of the bar part is pretty loud and sports-y but the food made it all worth the overstimulation. They also have heaters inside which was really nice for the winter.

Didn't get to try the food yet, but plenty of beers on tap, $18 dozen oysters on weekends and happy hour specials M-F. Large space and tons of TVs everywhere. Playlist was a good mix of a bit of everything on a random Sunday. Manager seems super helpful as well. Definitely worth a visit if in the area and seeking an elevated bar experience with food options. There's a healthy mix of traditional Asian fare, good old fashioned pub foods, and authentic remixes of hood classics like a chopped cheese egg roll 👀🤯 Definitely try the Spicy Tonkotsu if you ramen, with whatever your heart desires if not that egg roll.

Extensive beer list with some of the funniest beer names in the market. Two kitchens with different food options: Japanese (e.g., ramen) and American. The restaurant is very slender with two floors of seating options. Bottom floor has 2-6 people table options and bar seating and the top floor has bench table seating. TV view is better from the top floor imo and there's variability on the bottom floor (closer to the front is slightly better). Regardless of where you sit, you will be able to see a TV. Great sports bar on that front. In the winter, you will see space heaters decorate the restaurant. The space is not well insulated (enclosed patio vibes) which means that there's a cool air that seeps through. The space heaters work, but expect to feel slightly cool. We had some issues with our space heaters, but we were eventually able to resolve with the staff. Staff is generally very kind and helpful. I will say though that there were several occasions where we had to stare down / flag down our servers to get service. So, you're more or less left alone which can be a pro/con depending on the person. My group and I were there to watch two NFL games. We were happy overall with the 6ish hours spent here.

Pretty big bar spot with large selection of draft and bottled beer. The happy hour deal is decent too (see pic). You can also order ramen here from Shinka menu. Located in Chinatown and good spot to grab a drink before dinner. Lots of TVs too for sports.
