Overview

At nearly one hundred years old this beer hall and enormous outdoor garden is the spiritual home of New York's Czech and Slovak community. On any given summer weekend dozens of picnic tables fill to capacity thanks to the timeless lure of crisp cold Czech lager, giant kolbasa, and the summer sun.

Why You Should Go

  • Czech lager is world reknowned and the BBHG has the best selection on tap in New York City.
  • It's like a backyard BBQ 7 days a week
  • Sharing picnic tables over beers can be a great way to make new friends or at least friends for the day.

What You Should Know

  • Queue up early for food. The line can suddenly go from a few minutes wait to hours between 6-7pm.
  • Outside you can get cheap and decent kilbosa and hamburgers, but inside the tradition Czech dishes are outstanding.
