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 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.
