Axelrad Beer Garden

"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 $3 mimosas and featured beers, $4 wells, $5 frozen drinks, and $6 Michel-Rad-As." - 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

"One of Houston’s favorite watering holes shows its versatility with its assortment of mocktails, non-alcohol beers, and hopped seltzers. Bargoers can score $7 mocktails, like La Mariposa, a hopped-up mix of homemade lemonade, butterfly pea tea, and Lagunitas Passionfruit Hoppy Refresher; Not Toddys made with a warming mix of homemade apple, cinnamon, and brown sugar syrup, lemon juice, and hot water, and a variety of non-alcoholic canned and bottled beverages. For the month of Dry January, Axelrad will also offer its non-alcohol drinks with a buy-one, get-one-free deal for every user who presents the code: RAD 2025." - Brittany Britto Garley
