Lowry Beer Garden

Set inside a 1940s aircraft hangar, this decommissioned Air Force hangar now hosts a sprawling beer garden with an indoor-outdoor layout, communal tables, and board games. The string lights and greenery set the mood, and heaters extend the season on chilly evenings. The tap list leans local, with a solid selection of beers and specialty drinks; bartenders like Spencer are happy to walk you through them. While the food gets mixed reviews—brats and other bites can be hit or miss—the friendly staff and board games, trivia nights, and lunch specials make it an easy weekday hangout. Visitors often stop by before heading to the adjacent museum, and free parking is a bonus.
