"A craft-beer garden offering a Sweet Honey Buckin' cocktail (tequila, honey, grapefruit, and lime) for about $12 alongside an extensive list of craft beers." - Jesse Sparks
"Known for its spacious back patio with the neon-lit tree, this popular Midtown hangout and watering hole is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year with live music events and a vinyl compilation of its greatest jazz nights, called Live at Axelrad, Jazz Wednesdays. Stop by on Wednesdays for jazz, between 7 p.m. and 11 p.m., and don’t forget to grab a beer and a slice of pizza from Luigi’s Pizzeria. Axelrad will also host some free live music events on Friday, April 18, and Saturday, April 19, and an album release party at Cactus Music in Montrose at 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 19. Check out its schedule for all forms of entertainment here." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Spanning 12,000 square feet, Axelrad’s eclectic open-air patio is a hub of outdoor entertainment — or relaxation, should you choose. The local watering hole is outfitted with a beer garden with sculptures and art installations and a community event space that showcases live music and film screenings. There’s plenty of seating at its patio picnic tables, but things get extra cozy in the colorful hammock grove. Take advantage of its extra-long happy hour, which runs from noon to 7 p.m. on weekdays and features $4 wells, $5 frozen drinks, and $5 Michel-Rad-As, house wines, and margaritas." - Brittany Britto Garley
"This Midtown beer garden is 90% patio. That's not great when it's 105 degrees, but the good news is that you can experience Axelrad in several ways. Find a few seats at the indoor bar area with over 25 beers on tap, hop into a swinging chair with a frozen drink or land at a picnic table knocking back a few beers. There isn’t really a bad seat on the sprawling lawn. But come early on the weekends because seats are highly coveted, especially the hammocks." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi
"When it comes to its drinks, this Midtown beer garden keeps its happy hour simple, straightforward, and inexpensive. Head to Axelrad for its lengthy happy hour, which runs from open to 7 p.m. on weekdays, with $3.50 for the beer of the day, $3 mimosas, $2 off frozens, $4 wells, $5 margaritas, and $5 Michel-Rad-As — the bar’s answer to Micheladas. Check the calendar to see what food trucks will be on site if hunger hits while catching live entertainment in Axelrad’s expansive garden." - Brianna Griff
