Mission Dolores Beer Garden
Looking for a local watering hole where the beer selection and fresh air is abundant? Mission accomplished at Mission Dolores, the new beer garden in Park Slope that recently opened its doors and the roof. What was once a run down auto repair shop, has since gone through its own renovation from the two brothers behind Cobble Hill’s Bar Great Harry. The simplicity of the cement floors and small wood tables and stools, makes it easy to focus on the main draw of the 21-tap beer selection — everything from premium local brews to a number of well-known international selections {two of my favorites: Aventinus and Hitachino made the list}.
Full Range of Beer Selections from 21 Taps
If you plan on settling in for the long haul from dusk to star-gazing late night, you can also order food in from a number of local restaurants {book of menus is conveniently available at the bar} that are all too willing to drop off a bite to eat. Might I suggest the taquería, Oaxaca, across the street? For under $10 you can get a selection of 3 fresh tacos, rice and beans — what a deal!
Take Out from Oaxaca Taco Shop
The Skim: It’s smaller than some of the well-known beer gardens around New York, but Mission Dolores delivers a large selection of premium beers at very reasonable prices {$4-$7}. With two pinball machines along the wall and plenty of mini tables and stools, this beer garden has the makings of a good night out and is definitely worth the trip to Brooklyn. {249 4th Ave. Brooklyn}
