Killmeyer's • 1859

Since before the Civil War, this German tavern has poured beer and served schnitzels on Staten Island, tracing its lineage to 1859 when Balthazar Kreischer sold the property to Nicolas Killmeyer. The mahogany bar, installed in 1890, still anchors the room where patrons gather for sauerbraten, wursts, and steins in the shade of the outdoor beer garden. Come for the history, stay for the Wiener schnitzel and the kind of Old World hospitality that's survived three centuries.
