1. An extremely festive beer garden in Lower Manhattan: Loreley Beer Garden

Lower East Side, NYC

With enough decorations to make Buddy the Elf proud, Loreley Beer Garden certainly knows the best way to spread holiday cheer. This venue goes all out for every holiday and even some holidays we think they might have made up - still trying to figure out what day the start of Pumpkin Keg Season falls on this year.


While they might be taking some liberties with the Biergarten theme, Loreley does serve a menu of traditional German dishes, like schnitzel and bratwurst. However, the drinks menu is as festive as the ceilings covered in Christmas garland. Depending on the time of the year, you can order everything from a pumpkin spice cold brew martini to a bourbon hot chocolate. If alcohol isn't your thing, they even celebrate Dry January with non-alcoholic beers and mocktails.


Loreley Beer Garden offers six separate event spaces accommodating parties of 15 to 65 guests.
