biergarten

German drinking yard

A biergarten is an outdoor area, typically attached to a bar or brewery, where beer is served at communal tables.

The German word literally means "beer garden." The setting is casual and convivial, often featuring long wooden benches and simple food: We spent the afternoon at a biergarten in Munich.

The term appears in English contexts for German-style outdoor drinking establishments.
