Pilsener Haus & Biergarten

"In the obscure — and not easy to get to — northwestern corner of Hoboken lies what may be the metropolitan area’s most perfect German beer garden. The sprawling 19th century factory that houses it is full of hulking brick-lined rooms with appropriate signage, but even more glorious is the paved outdoor area, where smoke curls up from a barbecue grill. The list of beers on tap, in bottles, and in cans will satisfy any beer fan. The food is also spot on, from schnitzels and wurste to things you might not expect, like a lamb burger and a pudding made of pretzels." - Robert Sietsema
