So Hudson, how much is the "new member bullshit fee"?

Karaoke? On no. That's sucks.

"that being said, i can not wait for zeppelin to open"

Why bother going? Based on your superficial standards of what constitutes a "real" beer garden, its a sure bet you'll be disappointed.

"thats not really a beer garden with only roughly 20 beers on tap"

Wahnsinn. Nonsense.

Okay, I'll defer to Otnemem on this as my memory could be a little sudsy.

"Eh, you might be right. Last time I was there was late 06."

Yeah, makes sense. That's about the time the attendance started to explode. They had to hire security guards on weekend nights to control access once the garden became filled to capacity.

"At Bohmeian Hall, the crowd is a tad on the older side (late 30's to late 50's)"

That hasn't been the case for years. Much younger crowd now that the"secret" is out. But still a decent place.

Could go either way with Zeppelin Hall, but I'm leaning toward it being a decent place too since most morons won't revisit a place where they can't appreciate the quality of the beer that's being offered.

As proof I offer the following converation that I overheard numerous times between various morons and the bartender at Zum Schneider which is located on LES of Manhattan:

Moron: "I'll take a Bud light"

Bartender: "Sorry, we only carry good beers."

Moron: "Huh?"

Outdoor beer garden looks ready to go. Wooden fence up, trees planted, and picnic benches already in place. Looks nice. Indoor restaurant looks like it has a ways to go though.
