Victory Beer Garden Open In Battery Park

Springtime? What springtime? It's summer already! That means that the ever awesome Victory Brewing Beer Garden is OPEN in Battery Park! This surprisingly under utilized and fairly obscure gem is nestled away behind bushy greenery, as if they were trying to keep it secret. It's next to the Battery Gardens restaurant and the Coast Guard station's parking lot (just west of the Staten Island Ferry terminal).

We plan on hitting the beer garden tonight (Friday May 27, 2011) at 6:30pm with some pals. Feel free to join us for a nice Victory Witbier, or whatever else suits you.

 The nearby Castle Gardens, originally named Castle Clinton, used to be a popular beer garden back in the 1800s. Victory plans a proper launch in June. In the meantime, the NY Times reports on the beer garden explosion in NYC these days!
