A beer garden (a loan translation from the German Biergarten) is an outdoor area in which beer, other drinks, and local food are served (see German cuisine).
Beer gardens originated in Southern Germany (especially Bavaria) and are most common there. They are usually attached to a beer hall, pub, or restaurant.[1]
Beer gardens are still very popular in Germany. The Hirschgarten restaurant in Munich is noted for its beer garden, which is possibly the largest in the world. It has seating for over 8000 people.[
