tza, is that the royal "we"?

Washington Commons = Good. Great selection of beers on tap, more bottles coming soon according to the bartendress. Backyard is huge, still being put together, but huge. I drank an old speckled hen & some barleywine that was rich but delicious, can't remember the name. Prices are reasonable, happy hours 'til 8 during the week = -$2 off all beers.

also popped into the new bar "Manhattans" owned by Tracy of s1ber1a fame. Awful place. Bottles only, cigarette smoke, glasses & bottles from the night before still out everywhere, no atmosphere to speak of.

no sign out front, newspapers pasted in the windows. in the spot formerly occupied by Ripple iirc.

woulda gone to wash. bar with you but we were up in queens

is this place open yet?

Der Schwarze Kölner Manchester, England, native and former Cologne resident Dale Hall, along with his girlfriend, Randi Lockemann, gives Fort Greene its first German beer garden. Eighteen Deutsch brews will be on tap, along with another 20 by the bottle. In keeping with Hall’s Cologne pedigree, three breweries from that city will represent. In addition to the beers, the space—which features communal tables indoors and both sidewalk and garden seating—will serve traditional foods. Cold items like wurst and cheese plates will be coming first, and hot dishes, including schnitzel and even more sausage, a couple months later. 710 Fulton St at South Oxford St, Fort Greene, Brooklyn (no phone yet)

mmm schnitzel.

not open but looks close

it's open now. i heard it's good. i'm going to go soon -- i really want to try the pretzels.

i've now been to The Box twice. it's kind of fun.

ooh lemme know how it is! am definitely gonna go once i get back

good! when are you getting back?

31st

wonderful

went to the biergarten - was not feeling it - why beer gardens always got to have a fratty vibe - also strangely laid out and super loud - the service felt a lil inattentive and chaotic - it is new tho - would prob be fine on a slow afternoon to sit by the window - theyve got good beer

was the garden open yet?

nope - mightve just been cause it was late tho

i did hear that it wasn't ready to open yet. hopefully that'll be nice, when it does happen.

yeah i wonder what its like back there - cant be v big can it

i don't know, that's kinda what i'm wondering!

it doesnt even seem like there should be an outdoor space there!

need recommendations for bar around murray hill that wont be filled with horrible people right after work

There's an Irish bar right around 31st & 2nd that I remember not being bad.

Rolf's on 3rd Ave is a cool old german place with free sandwiches at the bar during happy hour. at least it was, haven't been there for many years, can't comment on the clientele.

I guess it's this one I meant:

it's probably a crowded spot, and it's not huge, but i love molly's on third & 24th (i think?)--is that murray hill, really?

cheapest bar les/east village?

I mean it doesn't have to be the *single cheapest* that is probably dependent on a lot of factors but what place would be a bargain at 6 pm today? also would have seats.

blue and gold, international, cherry tavern, welcome to the johnson's

but i haven't been to any of those in a few years

mona's on ave B

where to go near fort greene? recently moved to lafayette & st. james

more interested in drinking with 'locals' than with pratt students

burger/wings a +

Those little ones on Avenue B. Yeah.

Monas or Music Box or that other one...there are multiple places with like $2 Budweisers during happy hour. Or whatever, but dirt cheap. Boxcar is 2-for-1 for HH.

h8 to break it to you bro but pratt students are "the locals"

in order of preference

• the alibi
• hot bird
• frankies (havent been in a while tho)
• fulton grand
• moe's (have only been once)

you should just come down to washington commons and drink with me, though

moe's closed, and then reopened as mo's
what's frankies?

or do you mean frank's?
