Historic Astoria beer garden w/ massive outdoor space, perfect for groups & day drinking. Classic Czech & German fare + tons of beer.
Molly Fitzpatrick reviews Bohemian Hall & Beer Garden, a historic Astoria beer garden ideal for large groups and day drinking, offering a vast outdoor space and a variety of beers and classic bar food.
Step into a piece of history at this century-old beer hall and garden, a sprawling Astoria destination perfect for large groups and leisurely day drinking. With over 100 outdoor picnic tables and a lively atmosphere often enhanced by live music, it's an ideal spot to soak up the sun with a stein. Pair your drinks with classic bar fare like bratwurst and pretzels.
The food here focuses on classic Czech and German fare, with popular items like sausages, pretzels, and schnitzel being frequently mentioned. While many enjoy these traditional offerings, one negative review cited a poor experience with schnitzel. The beer selection is a major highlight, with many praising the variety of Czech beers on tap.
"The bratwurst and pretzels are highlighted as classic bar food accompaniments to the extensive beer selection. The Czech beer on tap is also a strong point of praise for satisfying Central European beer cravings."
Customers generally have positive experiences, enjoying the beer garden atmosphere, extensive beer selection, and classic food offerings. However, some have noted instances of slow service and past negative interactions.
