If you’re seeking some sauerkraut and Hoegaarden-induced debauchery during this Oktoberfest season, look no further than these five beer gardens in and around NYC.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Bohemian Hall & Beer Garden
\nWhat\u2019s the Pint:<\/strong> <\/strong>This true biergarten’s got more than enough space for schmoozing or Schuhplattler-ing<\/em>. Consider ordering Staropramen, Hoegaarden, or Krusovice Dark, which all pair nicely with a grilled kielbasa.
\nWhere to Chug:<\/strong> Take the N or W train to Astoria Boulevard. (Bohemian Hall & Beer Garden, 29-19 24th Ave., Astoria, bohemianhall.com)<\/em>
\nWhen to Celebrate Oktoberfest: <\/strong>September 29 – October 7
\nHow Much: <\/strong>$16 for a (four pint) pitcher, $6 for a pint<\/p>\n

\"Biergarten

3. Berry Park
\nWhat\u2019s the Pint: <\/strong>Take a seat under a blue Hofbr\u00e4u umbrella with a Belhaven Twisted Thistle IPA or another one of the 15 German and Belgian 15 imports on tap. Enjoy the views of Manhattan or a great game, be it Liverpool vs. Manchester United or NY Jets vs. Miami, projected on a big screen.
\nWhere to Chug: <\/strong><\/strong>Take the G to Nassau Avenue. (4 Berry St at N. 14th St, Williamsburg, 718.782.2829, berryparkbk.com<\/a>)<\/em>
\nWhen to Celebrate Oktoberfest: <\/strong><\/strong>September 22
\nHow Much: <\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>$5-$9 for a pint<\/p>\n

5. Studio Square
\nWhat\u2019s the Pint: <\/strong>A modern chic twist on a classic biergarten, this Long Island City newbie had chutzpah<\/em> trying to compete with Queens favorite Bohemian Hall. But the birch trees, perfectly crisp, salty fries, 17 beers on tap, and chill urban setting make this 18,000 square foot space well worth leaving Manhattan for on a Saturday afternoon.
\nWhere to Chug: <\/strong><\/strong>Take the N or W to 36th Ave. (35-33 36th St, Astoria, 718.383.1001, studiosquarenyc.com)<\/em>
\nWhen to Celebrate Oktoberfest:<\/strong><\/strong> September 29 – 30
\nHow Much: <\/strong><\/strong>$7 for a pint, $18 for a pitcher<\/p>\n

*Please note: Each place has a toasty and festive indoor hall, for those who chill easily even after a pint of beer. Prost!<\/em><\/p>\n
