is this place open yet?
Der Schwarze Kölner Manchester, England, native and former Cologne resident Dale Hall, along with his girlfriend, Randi Lockemann, gives Fort Greene its first German beer garden. Eighteen Deutsch brews will be on tap, along with another 20 by the bottle. In keeping with Hall’s Cologne pedigree, three breweries from that city will represent. In addition to the beers, the space—which features communal tables indoors and both sidewalk and garden seating—will serve traditional foods. Cold items like wurst and cheese plates will be coming first, and hot dishes, including schnitzel and even more sausage, a couple months later. 710 Fulton St at South Oxford St, Fort Greene, Brooklyn (no phone yet)

went to the biergarten - was not feeling it - why beer gardens always got to have a fratty vibe - also strangely laid out and super loud - the service felt a lil inattentive and chaotic - it is new tho - would prob be fine on a slow afternoon to sit by the window - theyve got good beer
― ice cr?m, Wednesday, 19 August 2009 16:58 (fourteen years ago) link
was the garden open yet?
― I love rainbow cookies (surm), Wednesday, 19 August 2009 16:59 (fourteen years ago) link

― ice cr?m, Wednesday, 19 August 2009 17:44 (fourteen years ago) link

― I love rainbow cookies (surm), Wednesday, 19 August 2009 17:45 (fourteen years ago) link

― ice cr?m, Wednesday, 19 August 2009 17:46 (fourteen years ago) link

Rolf's on 3rd Ave is a cool old german place with free sandwiches at the bar during happy hour. at least it was, haven't been there for many years, can't comment on the clientele.

cheapest bar les/east village?
― iatee, Tuesday, 16 August 2011 19:58 (twelve years ago) link
I mean it doesn't have to be the *single cheapest* that is probably dependent on a lot of factors but what place would be a bargain at 6 pm today? also would have seats.

Monas or Music Box or that other one...there are multiple places with like $2 Budweisers during happy hour. Or whatever, but dirt cheap. Boxcar is 2-for-1 for HH.

Are there any non-awful bars in midtown east? I just want something that isn't 100% divey/old-man but doesn't have that "Ooh, happy hour, let's get appletinis" vibe

does Kips Bay count? this place was Ok as of a few years ago.

I went there recently. It's Irishy. Also there's liable to be music a lot of nights, since that place is "the home of Irish music in NYC." Which is a draw for me, but not for all.
― how did I get here? why am I in the whiskey aisle? this is all so (Laurel), Monday, 23 April 2012 16:15 (twelve years ago) link
like what streets in Midtown East? I'm at 44th around Grand Central and most everything around here blows. generic Irish bars with $8 pints. best one is probably O'Neill's at 45th and 3rd, decent happy hour. Perfect Pint around the corner on 45th is ok, multi-level with an open air roof bar, always mobbed though. those are my usual picks if I go out after work around here but like I said the prices are ridic. I'm hoping someone has a good answer for you actually.
there's also a relatively new german beer garden upstairs on 3rd Ave but I haven't tried it yet. Hofbrau Bierhaus.
― dmr, Monday, 23 April 2012 16:15 (twelve years ago) link
Hurting, 3rd Ave is chock-a-block with Irish bars?? Molly's is a good one.
xp dmr otm
― how did I get here? why am I in the whiskey aisle? this is all so (Laurel), Monday, 23 April 2012 16:16 (twelve years ago) link
yeah I don't mind Irish bars, it's the Midtown prices that blow
― dmr, Monday, 23 April 2012 16:16 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah I guess Irish bars are ok. I'm near that Hofbrau Bierhaus, want to try.

I'm in the low 50s on third. Every work happy hour I've ever gone to in this area has been in a miserable place.
