"Don’t let the lederhosen fool you—this beer garden has a solid lineup of sausages to soak up your beer. And with picnic tables aplenty, Banger’s makes group dining easy. Try the bratwurst or drunk chicken for the classic stuff, or the duck, bacon, and fig if you’re ready for less traditional encased meats. Also, the poutine works well for sharing and having a focused conversation about how underrated cheese curds are. Weekends can get crowded, so come during the off-hours to secure a spot for everybody and their dog. Speaking of, there’s a dog playpen that keeps them contained to a dedicated area, so dog moms and dads can get a break from all that aggressive squirrel chasing." - adele hazan, nicolai mccrary
