ummm hey Red Bank Girl,

Some of the best Organic beers around come from VERMONT, micro-brewed perfection. Most likely from some Tree Hugger's garage.

See Wolavers...

or.....

you can just have another budweiser..
if that is what does ya..

A few thoughts having been to the new "beer garden" recently:

- you're correct. a teenage girl in a bikini with a sign. they mistook low brow for lowenbrau.

- no taps. all their beer is bottled. it seems absurd that a beer garden wouldnt have draught beers.

- the markup on their bottled beer is ridiculous. about $7 to $8 a bottle. save yourself some cash and go to spirit's. while there, you will find many better german beers while saving $5 or $6 bucks a bottle.

- the food there hasnt been good in 15 years. the new menu isnt that good either.

The idea is good, but the execution leaves much to be desired. I hope they improve on the new direction, but until then, I'd reccomend taking a trip to Killmeyer's in Staten Island or to Bohemian Hall in Astoria for a better experience and a larger selection of brews.

Was i going crazy on Friday afternoon, or did someone else see this ORganic Beer Garden being advertised by a teenager in a blue bikini on the site of the abandoned gas station just after the 35 bridge? Quite odd.

I have eaten at the Little Kraut Restaurant many times . I found it to be enexcellent restaurant with superior quality authenic
German food .When I have company from out of state they always suggest eating at Dieter Boreneman's (Restaurant The Little Kraut}. Since Quality and cleanliness is very important to me and my friends , we will continue to frequent this restaurant.
We are looking forward to the changes that are coming to The Little Kraut, such as the new Organic menu and the extension of the Beer Garden.

Agree with Mark - I hope they keep some of the German items, as I've always enjoyed the food there but agree a few more "light" offerings would be a good idea. Best of luck!

T-O-M, "Oak Bridge Tavern will be bolstering its traditional tap and bottle offerings with a large array of certified-organic German, English and other brews."

I've been to the Little Kraut once to sit at the bar a few years ago and that one time has gone down in our family mythology as legend. The person tending bar was extremely charismatic, shared a bunch of stories with us and initiated us into the mysteries of Underberg. My husband and I didn't go back owing to the lack of beer on tap and few offerings that appealed to us on the menu. We look forward to enjoying it in its new incarnation.

Organic what? Unless I missed something, there is no mention of what qualifies this establishment as organic.
