"Most people are at the Fifth Ward beer garden Saint Arnold Brewing Company for the massive patio. Maybe it’s the covered awning, twinkling string lights, and manicured greenery that give Saint Arnold’s the vibe of a giant backyard barbecue. Conveniently, anything from the menu, including loaded golden french fries topped with sweet pulled pork, can be ordered directly from your picnic table. The ten-foot projector is usually set to the most intense sports game, and if you need a refill on one of their dozens of pale ales, stouts, and sours, the outdoor bar is waiting for you. Plus, the unofficial playground is perfect for kids (or grown folks who are still in touch with their inner child)." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
