Huge Beer Garden Coming to the South Slope?
Yesterday Brooklyn Based ran an interview with restaurateur Ted Mann—of Williamsburg’s Cubana Social and Greenpoint’s No Name Bar, among others—in which Mann said he’s “building out a beer garden on 19th Street and Seventh Avenue that he’s hoping to have open by July.” There have been rumors on Brooklynian about an eating and drinking establishment…
Yesterday Brooklyn Based ran an interview with restaurateur Ted Mann—of Williamsburg’s Cubana Social and Greenpoint’s No Name Bar, among others—in which Mann said he’s “building out a beer garden on 19th Street and Seventh Avenue that he’s hoping to have open by July.” There have been rumors on Brooklynian about an eating and drinking establishment moving into the big lot at 555 7th Avenue, at 19th Street, where a permit for a one-story extension and renovation for an eating and drinking establishment was approved last September. If this is the location where Mann intends to put the beer garden, he’s thinking big, according to Brooklyn Based: “The as-of-yet unnamed spot will be able to seat 700-800 in the 10,000 square-foot outdoor garden alone, and another 100-150 in the 3,000-square-foot interior.” A Greenwood Heights resident heard from a contractor the beer garden is indeed planned but doubted it would be open when the nearby school is in session. The plans haven’t gone through the community yet so we’ll see how it plays out.

That’s it, I’m officially declaring 15th the border.”
um – noooo -Park Slope to many original inhabitants stretched into the 20’s as there was no such neighborhood as “greenwood Hts”
> i bet in 1910 there were more important things to worry about than bars.
I hear the battles over velocipede lanes were EPIC!
SWEET!!!
This is even better than Spumoni!!
@denton, agreed, better than those old bays, but just not understanding the biz model to the location other than “if we build, they will come…and drink!”
interesting snark. yeah, i bet in 1910 there were more important things to worry about than bars.
ah, how times have changed.
AJ, surely you’d agree that a beer hall/restaurant will be better for the nabe than a bunch of abandoned service bays!
I’m loving what’s happening in my nabe, and I was betting that it would when I moved here.
I don’t get what’s wrong with a proximate school anyway. Last time I checked it was OK to drink if you’re over 21.
@gman
Yep. As I understand it the applications are on file for public review. The only time I have head of hearings (and there are those) is when an establishment has had issues and are reapplying for their license. But CB7 is advisory, regardless. I’d say if there are folks concerned, they should reach out to the local council member and assemblyman as well as CB7.
AJ, are you saying that it is the policy of CB7 not to review liquor license applications unless they trigger the 500-foot rule? That’s how I am reading your last post. Thanks.
> it was prolly there first though, right?
That was a google-worthy question, so here is what I found:
“Since 1910, Bohemian Hall has been a part of New York City history. Ours is the last original remaining Beer Garden in all of NYC.”
“Erected in 1907, the school celebrated its 100 year anniversary, June 2007.”
So, the school was there first, but I’m guessing folks were a little less worried about such proximities a century ago.
