Earlier this month, John and I decided to spend an afternoon at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zeppelinhall.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Zeppelin Hall<\/a> biergarten. It&#8217;s conveniently located along the light rail line, and riding the light rail is much nicer than riding the PATH as it&#8217;s on street level. I&#8217;m surprised it&#8217;s been over a year since our <a href=\"http:\/\/wazwu.com\/blog\/2014\/07\/09\/zeppelin-hall-biergarten-jersey-city\/\" target=\"_blank\">first visit<\/a> as we really enjoyed it last time around.<\/p>\n<p>Even in the early afternoon, Zeppelin Hall was pretty crowded. There was even a children&#8217;s birthday party in one of the rooms off to the side. Beer for the adults, a princess party for the kids. That sounds pretty perfect to me.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wazwu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/img_7506.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-9303\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wazwu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/img_7506.jpg?w=660\" alt=\"Zeppelin Hall, Jersey City\" width=\"660\" height=\"660\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wazwu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/img_7506.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.wazwu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/img_7506-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.wazwu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/img_7506-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.wazwu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/img_7506-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wazwu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/img_7506-1140x1140.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.wazwu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/img_7506-520x520.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Every bar has different beers on tap, so you should rotate from bar to bar for the full selection.
