In anticipation of the (finally) warm and sunny weekend forecast a friend organized some day drinking fun at Studio Square in Astoria. Part outdoor beer garden with large communal picnic tables, part indoor bar with multiple TV’s playing sports, live music in the summer and part event space there’s something for everyone here. Aside from the nearly two dozens beer on tap there’s also pitchers of Sangria and vodka lemonade along with a small wine list and full bar. The grill menu features brats, hot dogs, burgers, chicken and pulled pork, but oddly enough there’s also a sushi menu. It’s a bit of a trip from lower Manhattan but the outdoor space and beer selection makes up for waiting on the weekend N train. As an extra treat someone brought a fruit tart from Martha’s Country Bakery, which proved to be a nice twist on beer and food pairing…
