Loreley the popular Rivington Street beer garden opens its large BQE adjacent Williamsburg outpost tonight in a former gas station on Frost and Meeker. And to celebrate getting through all the city red tape, the owner Michael Momm is giving away a free glass of Gaffel Koelsch beer to the first 100 guests tonight.
What else to expect in the new digs? The indoor/outdoor space fits a total 150 people, serves dishes like pretzels with mustard, pork meatballs, pork chops, sauerbraten, and other heavy German specialties, and offers an all German beer list—12 on tap, five by the bottle—as well as cocktails. Check out the full menus below and on their website and send all early reports this way.
