Der Schwarze Kolner To Open By End of Month
At this rate, we should all be sipping pilsners and wolfing down bratwurst before July 4th weekend rolls around. According to a guy we spoke to in the doorway of Der Schwarze Kolner, the German-style beer garden should be open by the end of the month. Bring it on! Rumor: Biergarten Coming to Seven Corners…

BrooklynGreene, I don’t have a keyboard that types EUROTRASH.
Hopefully they have litre steins of spaten optimator.
BA was amazing as always, DeLepp. Thanks for asking. It’s the only other city besides New York where there is the perfect storm of food, culture, architecture and energy, in my opinion. And as we’ve already discussed, the people are beyond stunning. I’m a big people watcher anyway, but it’s craziness down there. I think I’m going on a veggie diet for a couple weeks though…I had enough steak to least me a while!
Goodness gracious Dave,
It’s “Kölner” (with an umlaut over the o). There’s no rocket science involved. There’s a typo on the title of the blurb but your friend should have figured out that “Kolner” is simply a mistake of the umlauted version of “Koelner”. You see it spelled both ways. And it’s hardly dialect, indeed…which considering, is kind of funny.
As I’ve said before, I’m glad Martin et al are finally opening something.
Robs comment about heaven was hilarious, 11217 how was BA?
Actually, the owner is a German of African descent, hence “black Cologner”:

Wow, I sure was in a mood on that “rumor” thread.
Must’ve been around the holidays…
Can’t wait for the beer garden however.
tybur6…see my post in the “Rumor:” thread…
OK everyone listen up, especially you altervoce. I emailed an ex-colleague who is german and born in Cologne. Here’s what he said…
“That spelling makes no sense to me. If the word is Koelner, it would be a black or dark-haired person from Cologne; if it is spelled Kellner, it would be a black or dark-haired waiter. In the Cologne dialect it would be called “Dae Schwatte Koelner”,or better yet “Dae Schwatte Jung vun Koelle.” Aren’t you sorry you asked?”

Yikes… scary name. “The Black Cologner” Do we have to wear knee-high boots to eat snausages there?
