Family-Friendly Beer Gardens in North Jersey

1. Alementary – ​Hackensack

The biergarten at Alementary is a great place to try some local beers. Be sure to make a reservation for a seated table, and bring your own food and snacks (they don't serve food). Come early; kid-friendly hours end at 4pm.

2. Cricket Hill Brewery – ​Fairfield

This kid-friendly establishment offers an expansive array of brew styles, including IPAs, ales, sours, lagers, stouts, porters, and bourbon barrel-aged beers. There's an indoor taproom, plus a small outdoor seating area. Come early to snag a spot.

3. Hudson Hall – ​Jersey City

Hudson Hall Smokehouse and Biergarten is just the place for you to eat, drink, and be merry. There’s a large rotating menu of craft beers, cocktails, wine, and others drinks to imbibe, while food choices range from sliders and egg rolls to smoked meats and burgers. Save room for dessert: Hot donuts and donut ice cream sandwiches are made to order. Brunch is served on the weekends, and a children's menu is available.

4. RockBottom Morris Patio & Beer Garden – Morristown

This beer garden is open daily for lunch (except Mondays), but becomes a party scene at night, so you’ll want to visit early with kids. There’s a large outdoor patio, and kids can order off the children’s menu or try a bar pizza, burger, or sandwich.

5. Skylands Craft Beer and Wine Garden – Wantage

6. Zeppelin Hall – Jersey City

Zeppelin Hall is an authentic European-style biergarten with 30-foot community bench-style seating on the outdoor patio or inside. Oktoberfest beers are brewed year-round and local beers are on tap along with a ton of Belgian beers, IPAs, lagers, and more. Unlike other beer gardens, the kids’ menu (burgers, chicken tenders, and mac & cheese) is available on the later side, until 8pm. But, note: Kids must leave the hall by 9pm.
