"A lazy journey on the river wouldn’t be complete without a cold beer or two. Metropolitan Brewing, highly regarded for German-style lagers, keeps folks refreshed with pints of Krankshaft Kölsch and more at its Avondale taproom. The space is popular for wedding, and the floor-to-ceiling windows provide a view of the waterfront. There’s outdoor seating, too, just above the kayak rental dock." - aimee.levitt, Eater Staff
