While downtown Covington has never experienced a shortage of places to buy and drink beer (liquor stores and bars were plentiful), there is a new kid in town, the Covington Beer Garden. It's a large, well-lit building with hightop tables facing a row of big windows, surrounded by landscaped grounds dotted with picnic tables.
And it's located on New Hampshire Street, in the location where Burns Furniture Store used to be for many years, and that's right across from the always active Covington Trailhead stage and covered pavilions.
Here are some pictures of its construction.
