Editorial Review for Zeitgeist – by Patrick Heig
Stepping into Zeitgeist, you can imagine what a dime-a-dozen dive it would be--a few pinball machines, a pool table, signs like "The place for warm beer and cold women," and "Hangovers installed and serviced" above the bar--without its glorious beer garden. A quarter-acre of sun baked picnic tables, the dappled shade of a willow tree, and rock music blasting while everyone from bike messengers with neck-tats to bond-traders with Bluetooths order pitcher after pitcher. There are over 30 Euro and micro varieties on tap, served by the glass or by the pitcher, and the with plenty of 'tude (especially towards the Bluetoothified) but that's part of the charm of this all-city, outdoor-drinking classic. there's also a full bar; try the famous bloody marys, appropriately spicy and anchored with green beans and olives, good for both curing hangovers and causing them.

Great Burgers - great patio - the only thing i dont dig about ZG is they have an issue with folks taking pictures back there that they defend rather rdiculously - whats the deal with that?
Pros: Great beers, great prices, great people
Cons: cant take a picture of my peeps

I love this place the atmosphere is always fun and lively. I always have a great time here, the staff is fun, the crowd is low-key and the atmosphere is a tad grimy but welcoming. There are benches scattered outside for strangers to sit together and find some common ground. The pitchers of beer are cheap and if you get tired to being out in the cold, go inside for a game of pool and some food. What could be better?
Pros: Drinks and place
Cons: only two bathrooms in the entire bar!
