There is nothing modern about Kilmeyer’s.  It dates back over 150 years (under different names and ownership) and the mahogany bar on the inside has been the same since the 1890s.  Serving traditional German food and mostly German beers, this is as straightforward of a German beer garden as there is in New York City.  While the great outdoor area makes for a perfect summer evening, the indoor bar and restaurant is pleasant all year round.  Only problem for most NYC residents is its location.  On the very southern tip of Staten Island, it is the only Beerlord bar not reachable by subway.  But Staten is part of NYC and Kilmeyer’s has its place because of that.  So if you live in the area or are coming back from Atlantic City, make sure you check it out.
