As I've mentioned, my crew and I celebrate all major holidays together. For Saint Patrick's Day, we decided to do a day drink. We wanted to avoid the crowds of Manhattan, and decided to meet up in Williamsburg. I suggested going to the Radegast Hall & Biergarten after seeing that they have live music on the weekend! We all met up in the afternoon and circled the bar a few times. It was completely mobbed with people looking to get their drink on in honor of Saint Patrick's Day, March Madness, and bachelor parties! I found a table of guys who were paying and I told them "shotty your table!" They left and we had half the communal table to ourselves. The other half was a couple who was on a date, seemingly annoyed that a bunch of us took over their table and were loudly talking. Their food was everywhere and it got to be kind of awkward. A beer hall with communal seating is the last place to go on a date.
After a few rounds, we decided we had enough of the crowds, and went across the street to The Levee, a dive bar with really cheap drinks, and free Twizzlers and cheese balls. The guys in our group look to go to dive bars whenever possible, and they were really in their element here. I was happy just to get a cheap drink and eat about 10 Twizzlers, and handfuls of cheese balls. After a few drinks there, we were starving and headed out for some food.
I will continue with a part 2 post since part 1 is long enough!
Matchbook verdict: Embodies the look and feel of the biergarten perfectly. I love a matchbook with a crest, as seen with Peter Luger's matchbooks. The font is perfectly old-world German. I also love the matte paper that the matchbook is printed on!
