I'm willing to pay a little extra for a beer when it comes with such a lovely view! We enjoyed our first experience here - we regularly go to Olbrich beach and just finally decided to check out the Biergarten. $6 will get you just about any beer, and they had okay options. I had myself an old trustie (fantasy factory all the way) and we ordered a large pretzel that was tasty. You know, it's a pretzel. :) You can't go wrong! What I was pleasantly surprised about was how kid friendly it was. They had a HUGE sandbox and I would say there were more folks there toting around little ones than not. My daughter was thoroughly entertained for the period of time we were there, and that makes any trip out of the house just way more pleasant. This will probably be a top pick when we're craving a beer out somewhere and the kid will be in tow!
