Steeplechase Beer Garden (CLOSED)

Inside the former home of Peggy O'Neil's, this Coney Island pavilion sports a large outdoor garden encased in hops vines, as well as a music stage. The open-air bar taps into the neighborhood's history—it's named after the Steeplechase Amusement Park, which stood on the same site from 1897 to 1964—with hyperlocal brews (Coney Island Mermaid Pilsner, Brooklyn Greenmarket Wheat), standard pub fare (sauced wings, soft pretzels, cheeseburger sliders) and vaudevillian accents like fun-house mirrors, arcade games and live entertainment.
