"Lock Yard has many claims to fame. Their big beer garden out back—outfitted with a retractable roof, umbrellas, and enclosed by brick walls—is one of the best hangs in Bay Ridge. Inside, the walls are plastered with stickers, flags, and cheeky memorabilia from all the beer brands they have on tap. As far as we know, they’re the only place in town where you can get fried pickles with an everything bagel seasoning crust. And they really want to sell you on their Seattle-style hot dog, with cream cheese slathered on the bun. (They also do burgers, sandwiches, and some vegan stuff.) No matter why you’re here, you’ll probably come out with a new friend and an affinity for regional hot dogs. Keep an eye on their Instagram for live music lineups and $1 wings on game nights." - Neha Talreja
