Studio Square

This may seem an unlikely spot for an enormous new German beer garden—in an obscure part of Queens and down the block from an Islamic center. Yet somehow plenty of young people have discovered it as a place to while away warm evenings under the stars, drinking craft beers and downing sausages, burgers, sushi and souvlaki. Outside you'll find a ton of tables and even a fire pit, but there's a range of industrially designed indoor spaces if it rains or gets chilly. If you can't decide among the more than 15 or so domestic and imported beers on tap, Studio Square is gracious about providing samples.
