Visited the Standard Biergarten (848 Washington Street bw Little W 12th & 13th) for the first time for a friend's birthday and I'm sure this will not be my last time. For the Meatpacking District, this place was laid back, not super stuffy and situated away from "the scene". Although they only offer 3 beers on tap, there's a full service bar in the middle of the space. High ceilings and an open floor plan make you feel less like you're in a stuffy bar. Get there early if you want a seat at one of the many picnic tables or get your hands on one of the paddles to play a little ping pong. My favorite part of this place were the bathrooms. They're clean & air conditioned. The Biergarten offers food as well. Expect to pay $8 for your drink ticket which will also get you an $8 pretzel, various types of German sausage (bratwurst & such) as well as dipping sauces. The crowd had some older businessmen, a few stick figure models, some rocker dudes but mainly your average single New Yorker in their late 20's to mid 30's. Go check it out!!
