Radegast Beer Hall & Garden (Williamsburg) Review

It's become somewhat of a bro bar, but good beer nonetheless.

I came to NY for my 30th birthday from London and I didn't have my passport on me as it was the only ID I had and didn't want to risk losing it. Manager didn't even listen to what I had to say and refused to let us in.
Absolutely appalling service. Their loss... spent our money elsewhere. I think NYC is missing a trick and I'm still to experience this good old hospitality that Americans are supposed to portray...

Good service, lots of beers and surprisingly good food!

This place is so fun!! Get the German IPA and their soft pretzel. The pretzel is $10 and can feed two people! It's huge and sooo amazing. Their sausage is good too, but seriously, try the pretzel.

Woman restroom is the most dirty even seen in my life!!!!!

A bit noisy but great beer and food. Get the soft pretzel

You'll find everything you love (and hate) about beer halls here. Large selection on tap, good pretzels. Live music on certain days ups the atmosphere.

Takes itself too seriously as a Biergarten to be enjoyable in it s own right. I m sure with the right crowd this place would be a good amount of fun, but not worth the trip for day drinking.

The place is great. The Burgers are the best. The band was a little louder to my own taste. Other than that...this place is 'rad'.

Cool place to hang out during the day and drink. I came for an alumni mixer and it's great for groups.

Service, drinks, and ambiance never disappoint. I highly recommend for the live music.

Pretty cool joint in Brooklyn for drinks in a relaxed atmosphere. I can imagine that it can be hard to get a beer here at times and food is good, but not as good as perhaps more authentic German food joints.

Good German beer selection, packed! Great atmosphere with live music

Absolutely one of my favorite places in new york. Open late, good food till late, and lots of space

It's got Augustiner, so you know it's going to be a winner. Fantastic atmosphere and great food. You'll have a tough time finding something better outside of Bavaria.

The music was excellent and the vibe was inviting. Everyone was very polite as well.

Delicious German beer selection, but seemed to be out of quite a few selections we tried to make. Great indoor/outdoor space for large groups and the live music was good too. The pretzel I have to admit was disappointing, it didn't taste very fresh and was kind of burned. Friendly staff - will definitely be back!

Awesome place and great bratwurst! Guy on the grill was really fast......impressive skills on the grill!

Gets crowded on weekends, but come in the earlier evening and it's a great place to hang out with friends.

Went for Oktoberfest and this was a lot of fun... Price was what you'd expect to pay at a German beer house

Good bierhall with yummy sausages and German biers.

Excellent German beer garden, Can get very crowded but it is part of its charm. Plenty of beers to go around. I usually never order of the menu and go directly to the back where they have a grill with amazing burgers and some good sausages.

This restaurant is my favored. I go to plenty of restaurants but to this one I go the most. The stuff is very chummy and the cuisine they cook is so flavorful. I never decline to have a nice meal in this restaurant. I highly recommend this place.

This place has become our new favorite beer garden! Our server (Jonah) was fabulous! He treated a group of 7 of us so great! We got the pretzel and it was delicious. We arrived at around 1:00 on a Sunday and it wasn t packed so we were seated right away. By 2:30 it was packed and people had to stand in some areas so maybe arrive a little earlier than that if you want to sit. But definitely a great experience and I know I ll be back

Yes, it's a beer hall, but I think it has a lot more character than most other beer halls. Maybe I've grown attached to this place due to this being my first here, but it's still pretty great. You can find this place split up into about three sections.

The first, which is where you might find yourself when you enter the place from the front (after being carded), is a nice quaint place where it might seem a bit more appropriate for a "first date". The bar has a nice setup and adds to the decor. The second area is off to the side and has the look and feel of a traditional beer hall with long wooden benches and tables. The third section is in the back and is more of an extension of the beer hall, but is closed off sometimes if it's not packed. There is a traditional menu with a great cheese plate and a fantastic pretzel and then there is grill (cash only) with all the sausage, burgers and fries you might be hankering for after a long stay.

Just a side note, if you are a mustard lover, like myself, this place is going to be for you. They have several different mustards for your tasting pleasure and you might even find yourself bringing a small jar on your next trip.

me and my Bf were there on last sunday sitting right next to the grill bar. / the waitress with redskirt was not so nice. she was worst ever waitress I ve ever seen. wont go to Radegst Hall & Biergarten any more.

They had beer, sausage, and music...it was good times

I have fun here all the time, great selection of beer and food, good vibe and excellent service.

Brunch wasn t bad but it wasn t really worth the price. We only went because Egg (next door) had an hour long wait. The fritatta was nothing special, though the bread for the curried chicken sandwiches was good.

Great selection of beer and excellent german food make this a favorite especially for large groups (Seating is rarely an issue). Main concern for me has been that the staff is consistently a bit slow to take orders. I'm used to bierhalls that have tons of staff bringing beer consistently and checking in on people reliably. At Radegast that has not been my experience.

Huge indoor beer garden with a lot of energy and drinks

Really enjoyed my pretzel and liter of pilsner. The smoked pork chop was amazing!

overpriced and putting up warmongering emperor wilhelm II. on the walls would be unheard of in germany. just tacky.

Great for watching games and live music on the weekends is awesome

Sat next to the biggest grump and reclusive couple... despite this, bartenders and everyone else around made the vibe warm. Not quite a German beer hall, but it has it in spirit

A great place with a fantastic beer selection. Beers are a little pricey but worth it.

Great place. They have an outdoor seating area too.

Lot of fun, service good and band was excellent. Lot's of fun

so much fun! gets really crowded on a nice spring day

Food was decent. Service wasnt great. Staff seemed uninterested in our experience. 1 server didn't have a mask on while interacting with our table which made us uncomfortable.

"german beer hall" and food with live music and a lot of space.
Please, enjoy!

Great beer and location. Slow to serve, and they make it impossible to know what they have - the menus are like a trade secret, the staff grab them away as soon as you order if you manage to find a laminated one and the board is unreadable. Very confusing what their goal is with this. Also, very slow. More showy than anything.

Not much to add this place stands up to it's name. It is by far the best European Beer selection, properly cooled not ice cold so you can actually enjoy it. Food is amazing here as well. Aesthetics are fantastic and atmosphere and people always at its best. Not many place like it.

Large selection of beers and good food (pretzel, sausages). Communal tables, so you kinda have to fight for a spot when it's busy. And it's crazy busy on the weekend. Very very loud, so if that's not your thing, don't go there.

Very good burger and sausage. Good place to hangout.

Great place with German flavour. Nice selection of German beer and also have a grill which serves German food. Highly recommended!

German style beer place with a huge variety of beer. Killer grilled sausages

If you go to NY and you like #beer, you can't go to this bar. It is giant and has everything a good beer hedonist wants.

Possibly my favorite place in all the Five Boros. It was like nirvana when I discovered this place. When friends come in from out of town or abroad this is where I bring them. Sometimes the entertainment can be mind blowing. The atmosphere is friendly and cozy. Long, communal wooden tables ala real beir kellers so you can get to make new friends. Highly, highly recommended

Everything was perfect: food, atmosphere and service.

Good service even tho it was super packed. Look for a spot in the back. Keep walking. Hefeweisen is EXACTLY like it was in Germany. Yum yum.

Really enjoyed this place good atmosphere and outside good for covid era

Food was super delicious, beer amazing and we had a blast dancing all night long... In addition our waitress was super helpful, professional and nice. Place was crowded and noisy but we had a wonderful experience. Highly recommend.

Noisy, crowded, questionable quality of food.
Bad service, they asked us if we wanted to order multiple times but they had trouble with serving water, at the end we had to share one mug of water in two.
During my visit the place was dominated by a mix of rude bros and hipsters. Just not my cup of tea, but probably great for people who love beer, big tables and a certain kind of biergarten aesthetics.

A tue othentic beergarden in Brooklyn. Staff is cool especially when shoes/live music is on...a fun experience and the food is great! great selection of alcohol of course...

Great beer and food but crowed is not very friendly.

Grab a beer here during the week to escape the crowds! On Monday nights, say hi to Scott the bartender, an old high school pal, who might buy you a beer!

Good German style beers with some interesting flavors. Beautiful brick interior. Loud music and noise level can make it difficult to have a conversation.

Free and noisy atmosphere. I went to dinner only and ate mainly on snacks. The taste of tempura was not bad. There are many types of beer, so it would be good to taste them one by one. It seems to be a great place to play as a group.

One of the best beer places in williamsburg I know of. Great german beer selection

One of the best places in Williamsburg. You will get awesome German craft beer, tasty food and great environment with live music!

Our server had some great suggestions for those in our party with dietary restrictions. Tasty brats, good beer, and friendly vibes

Local spot. Love it every weekend, jazz band, kid friendly during earlier hours. Great atmosphere, love our fave server. She knows who she is

Great food and classic beer hall feel, definitely recommended for a good time with friends!

Excellent draught beers from europe (Czech republic, Germany, Belgium, UK) and very good sausages ! Not to mention an always perfect service.

So much fun!

Go early if you're going on a weekend.

Fav place for a beer with friends. Come order wurst and pretzel

Dope place to go with a friend or group of freidns/family. They offer a nice variety of Polish food and sausages ! Their selection of beers and other drinks are good too. Great mood and vibes to this place. Definitely recommend if you're out in Williamsburg sometime.

Great German and Belgian beers. Good scene. Clean. Big crowds. Awesome live music. Try to eat a seat in the indoor, sunlit courtyard area.
