Well, some would say the the Gowanus Yacht Club is a mini-beer garden, but does this neighborhood really need more watering holes?

Carroll (Beer) Gardens?
An interesting suggestion from Realty Collective:
"Just think of how nice it would be on a Summer night to get all of your friends together for some live music, bar b q and night air. From a business standpoint I honestly believe it could be quite a lucrative venture for the right group of folks."

The Post really needs to quit while they're behind...
The anti-Landmarks group called CALM has found a friendly ear in the New York Post. A conservative newspaper run by Rupert Murdoch, which also came out against Superfund Designation? Color me surprised. Well, they really went off the deep end this time. Let's break this down, shall we?
"A move is on to expand the entire nabe into a historic district, which gives landmark status to all houses, and magically turns a window replacement into a $2,000 job. Some folks, whose families go back here a century, are mad as hell."
And some want landmarking. We just don't go barking to the Post.
""We don't need Big Brother to protect us," said Michael Di Meglio, 63, a member of Citizens Against Landmarking."
So, the 76th Precinct should be wiped out as well? You've got guns in your house to protect yourself?
"Yet, newcomers want the city to make it the law. A neighbor puts in a cheap Home Depot door and it becomes such an eyesore," said Katia Kelly, 49, who's lived there a mere 25 years."
Since when does living in a neighborhood a "mere" 25 years make one a newcomer?
Weak, CALM and Post. Come strong or don't come at all.
