Aaron Brashear of the Concerned Citizens of Greenwood Heights is saying it might be a good idea for Ted Mann to meet with the community prior to the opening of the beer hall he’s building out on 7th Avenue between 19th and 20th streets. Brashear says the wood palate wall Mann is constructing might not be structurally sound given the winds coming off the expressway, and some in the community might not welcome the noise from the live music that’s planned. The beer hall is supposed to open in October.

  1. The raising kid comment is too funny. Apparently you haven’t been to W’burg lately. It is full of kids, moms (not nannies) pushing strollers, good schools (>321 at least).
    And read the times article about Robertas. not saying the beer hall would rival that place, but the SS/greenwood needs all the help it can get.
    The “I enjoy the quiet” types probably didn’t move there for that reason. 10 to one, anyone who moved there in the last decade, did so for economic based reasons.

  2. I live close by and I prefer a giant eyesore that’s likely full of rats to an amenity my family and I can enjoy. And wood is indeed a notoriously weak building material – a huff and a puff and the wolf has blown down your family friendly, hipster inflected, eco beer-hall.
