While waiting to place his order, The Beerlord witnessed what has to be an all too familiar event at Bohemian Hall.  “Do you have a lite beer?” asks the short, mustached customer donning a Jet’s hat and a size 34 belt around his size 38 shorts.  The bartender doesn’t even hesitate in offering the choices of Pilsner Urquell and CzechVar.  The man looks confused, but selects a CzechVar despite the strange absence of the “lite” mark of quality and heads back outside. The Beerlord wasn’t surprised at the man’s failure to recognize the fact that the bartender was alluding to the beer’s color and not the calorie content. After all, Bohemian Hall became a New York institution based not on their beer, but on their beer garden.  Outdoor seating for hundreds, it’s the perfect place for the whole office to head right after work.  Which isn’t to say they don’t have tasty beers.  The Beerlord loves his BrauCzech and an Urquell always provides a good compliment to the brats prepared at the outdoor grilling stations.  But in the end it is about that beer garden and good times with large groups.  And for that alone it gets The Beerlord’s stamp of approval.
