The steady stream of hipsters moving into Ridgewood has actually been a lifesaver for Gottscheer Hall, a 90-year-old German beer bar on Fairview Avenue. The bar came close to closing in recent years, but started turning a profit again in 2012 thanks to a new clientele of twenty-somethings. One of those hipsters tells the Queens Courier: "I like the history of the bar, the kitschiness. The beer is good and cheap." [QC via Brokelyn]
