Bierhaus NYC
Guests pile onto long benches at communal tables at this German beer hall, as costumed barmaids serve imported German beers, pretzels, and shot-skis (a ski with shot glasses attached). Live music almost daily, a 50-foot balcony, and a glass ceiling that retracts in the summer ensure that a stop here is always a good time. Appetizers are large, and beer can be ordered in a two-liter (glass) boot if you wish.
