Great spot for cold beer and good food in an outside atmosphere. Umbrellas and benches provide cool seating arrangement much like a beer garden. The service was great! Beer selection was perfect. Really loved that there was a fantastic radler on draft! Radlers make hot days beautiful. Giant pretzel was perfectly done and went well with the delicious lagers and pilsner they had on the menu. And woah! Ice cold watermelon was available, too! Recommend!

We dined at the Garden District and liked the atmosphere. The tables are outdoor, but they also have heaters for the cooler weather. The brisket is very good and their fries are great. They serve “Coke” in glass bottles :). My husband said the Bratwurst wasn’t that great, that you could get better Brats at the grocery store. The fried pickles were very, very hot. Almost burn your mouth hot, but the Server warned us that they were hot. The breading doesn’t really stay on the pickle it kind of slides off. I wouldn’t recommend them. It’s a great place to go with a group of people. There was a large group outside of the fence. There were several tables outside of the fence on the right side of the restaurant. They do have a bathroom inside, which is nice to have, see photos. It’s small but serves its purpose. The photo of the inside with barstools shown on google maps isn’t how it looks now, see my photo. The inside doesn’t seem to be utilized for patrons. It seems to be used as a kitchen space to prepare food or drinks. I added photos to show wheel chair access with the ramps from the street up the curb, so it is accessible. All in all, we would go back there, if we were in the area. The staff was friendly. There’s a bike rack on the right side of the fencing.

Trendy/ hipster cozy local garden pub, ideal for sunny days. Prices a bit expensive. Staff nice and polite. Atmosphere amazing. The place is small outside, even smaller inside, but you can easily share the table with someone else. Nice music. A vivid place to enjoy your beer. I will go again. 👍

Garden District always delivers: consistently excellent food, beer, wine, service, and atmosphere. Also very dog-friendly. They serve up some of the best BBQ around. You really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, but their fried chicken sandwich is phenomenal (a constant craving). They have a thoughtful, intriguing, well-balanced offering of beer, and perhaps unexpectedly, a delightful and unique selection of wine, and they make an effort to secure some limited releases and other special, novel, or somewhat rare items. You can also find cider, liquor (including some approachable, good bourbon), hard seltzer, and non-alcoholic beverages on the menu. GD are good people: the staff are welcoming, knowledgeable, and on top of it, and provide excellent, no-frills service that keeps the food and drink moving and the vibe laid back. They give a damn about their business and about you. Also, even at their busiest, the bathrooms are clean and stocked, which is a testament to their diligence and care. With the prime location, ample outdoor space, and wide appeal of beer garden fare, GD doesn’t have to go as hard as it does. Garden District would be my go-to spot just from the dependably excellent food, drink, and convenience alone, but above all, it is their diligent and friendly staff and the easy, convivial environment they work so hard to provide that keeps me (and basically everyone I know) coming back. That, and my apparent addiction to their fried chicken.

I got take away from this place because I was craving bbq brisket. I got the brisket burger and it is really very impressive. It is moist, perfect meat to bun ratio, and perfect sauce to meat ratio. The french fries are also well seasoned and crispy. Very fair price too. Top pick for me
