Just in time for summer, the Bromberg brothers, owners of the Blue Ribbon Restaurants in New York and Las Vegas, opened Blue Ribbon Beer Garden at the Thompson LES hotel on the Lower East Side.
Blue Ribbon Beer Garden is open at the Thompson LES hotel on
the Lower East Side.
Located in a spacious terrace, Blue Ribbon Beer Garden is an outdoor oasis, complete with a Ping-Pong table, board games and, of course, beer.
A wide variety of imported and domestic beer, both familiar and exotic, is available ranging from Hitachino White Ale from Japan, to large-format Saison DuPont Farmhouse Ale from Belgium to small-batch Sorachi Ace by Brooklyn Brewery. Traditional brews including Brooklyn Lager, Victory Prima Pils and Duvel, are also available. Wines can be ordered by the carafe for $10, and are available in red, white or rosé.
Blue Ribbon Beer Garden serves up more than just potent potables. Their food menu features $15 plates including BBQ Cornish Hen, BBQ Ribs or Market Vegetable of the Day. All dishes are accompanied by bean salad, cole slaw and cornbread. Bar snacks such as pork rinds and boiled peanuts are available for $3.
Blue Ribbon Beer Garden features a Ping-Pong table and board
games, in addition to their wide selection of imported and
domestic beers.
The ambiance at Blue Ribbon Beer Garden is breezy and laid back. The 1,650-square-foot space offers comfortable outdoor seating for 60. Retractable side paneling is available to accommodate guests if ever it should rain. Custom artwork by New York artist Heather Corbett, colorful paper lanterns and feather ornaments give the place a bright and lively appearance.
