The Standard Biergarten: Meatpacking HH

The Standard Biergarten sprawls under The Standard Hotel at the intersection of the High Line and the Meatpacking District — a massive outdoor beer hall with picnic tables, ping pong, and views toward the Hudson River. The weekday happy hour from 4 to 7pm drops German drafts to $8 and adds $5 soft pretzels. The crowd is a mix of tourists discovering the High Line and Meatpacking locals who've been coming for a decade.
