A biergarten or beer garden is an open-air area with benches where beer (and other beverages) is served. Food may be served, or you are allowed to bring your own food. They originate in Bavaria (Southern Germany).
To be clear, a biergarten is not the same as (what is known in the UK as) a "beer garden", i.e., an outside area associated with a pub. These are not biergartens in the Bavarian sense and may be tagged as a beer_garden or by adding outdoor_seating=* to the pub, cafe or restaurant.
