The Standard Biergarten

After a great lunch at Stone Street Tavern, my cousin and I went looking for a new bar and found this great happy hour spot. Connected to The Standard Hotel, right under The High Line, is a cute and ivy covered outdoor bar.

When you arrive at the Biergarten, you purchase tickets from an outside booth. One ticket is good for a small beer and two tickets get you a larger sized, das boot styled beer chalice. Two tickets also get you a larger-than-your-face pretzel, which I truly regret not ordering. We chose to go with the smaller beers to try and pace ourselves.

.​We walked up to the bar and asked for the best beer they had. My cousin got their homebrew pale ale, and I got the lighter, fruitier styled beer. We drank our beers while watching men in suits get extremely into their ping pong games. It was quite a scene to watch with the giant mugs of beer everyone around them was holding.

​We finished our beers and walked around the High Line to let the beer settle. It was a great ending to a day with my cousin who I don’t get to see nearly enough.
