"The Loreley transforms into a Winter Wonderland through January 5 . Expect a festive indoor area as well as a heated outdoor biergarten. There’s no admission charge and no cover to enjoy the decorations while sipping seasonal craft beer, spiked egg nog, mulled mine, bourbon hot chocolate, and other sips of the season." - Eater Staff
"Founded in 2003, and taking its inspiration from Cologne rather than Munich, Loreley claims to be the largest heated outdoor beer garden in the city. Food includes freshly baked giant pretzels studded with rock salt and a sausage platter more extensive than most. There’s a selection of eight or nine German drafts, including Hofbrau Oktoberfest and the restaurant’s own Oktoberfest." - Robert Sietsema
"For this year’s Olympic Games, the beer garden is featuring novelty drinks like Frosé, White & Blue that comes with patriotic rubber duckies (featuring fresh strawberries on the bottom, classic frozen margarita in the middle, and blue frozen margarita on top; with a red, white, or blue duck). The Olympics will be on all the TVs inside." - Eater Staff
"Head out back at this Lower East Side bar for an outdoor beer garden vibe with plenty of room to spread out. The backyard’s picnic tables are great for groups, as are the restaurant’s doctrinaire German fare like oversized pretzels served with mustard, bratwurst, schnitzel, and beer (available by the half liter and liter in most cases)." - Eater Staff
