biergartens
German drinking gardens
Biergartens is the plural of biergarten, a German word for an outdoor space where beer is served.
The term often appears in English to evoke traditional German drinking culture—long communal tables, pretzels, and liter steins.
The city's biergartens fill up on summer evenings.
Also spelled beer gardens.
