Beer Garden Will Open in Long Island City

First, there was news that LIC was getting a rooftop bar. And now, an 18,000-square-foot beer garden! When Studio Square (or S2, as the press release calls it) opens in May, it’ll serve bratwurst, burgers, pulled-pork sandwiches, and beef and chicken kebabs. Inside, there’ll be graffiti, exposed brick, and industrial fixtures; outside, picnic tables, iron fire pits, a cobblestone courtyard dotted by birch trees, and a covered patio. Fancy wooden taps will dispense over two dozen beers and house-made sangria. The cask-wine trend continues! (Sort of.)
