Best Beer Gardens in Oklahoma!
The modern beer garden is a German cultural export. The word is derived from “biergarten,” which is an outdoor space for drinking beer, usually on benches in a communal area. Although the custom includes German food, like spaetzle and wurst, of course we’ve Americanized it to mean any food you can enjoy in the great outdoors! For a laid-back experience, check out the best beer gardens in Oklahoma.
The Patriarch, Edmond, OK
You’ll find plenty of craft beers at this unique bar. Known as “The Hunt House” by locals, it’s a three-story, 110+-year-old home that has been renovated into a public space with an outdoor patio to enjoy games and drinks. It features food trucks and a Yakitori restaurant.
Fassler Hall, Oklahoma City and Tulsa, OK
Fassler Hall takes inspiration from the German Beer Halls in Europe. Make sure to get an order of duck fat fries. The pretzels are pretty amazing, too, especially when served up with a side of smoked gouda cheese sauce. You’ll want to check out their entertainment schedule and specials. On Mondays, sausages are half-price all day.
Royal Bavaria, Moore, OK
The beer garden at Royal Bavaria is open Spring through Fall. You’ll often find special music or other events. It can also be rented for private parties. It features classic German food and handcrafted brews, served by staff wearing traditional German dirndls.
Grateful Head Pizza Oven & Tap Room, Broken Bow, OK
Although the cuisine is Italian, the outdoor stage and garden is more German in nature. They’ve spent a lot of time remodeling the outside to make it customer-friendly. It also serves local craft beers, some are seasonal, so you’ll want to go every month to see what changes.
