If you're not familiar with The Golden Pigeon yet, it's the east end's favorite (and only) German beer hall, a big community space fueled by incredible beer, fantastic food, and games. The owners, Matias Ludevid and Julian Altrows, also the proprietors of The Black Pony Café and Snack Bar, worked with Black Pony chef Chris Mentier to create the amazing menu. They walked into the space and immediately felt "beer hall" in their bones. Inspired by communal family-style beer halls in Germany, places that provide easy social interaction over hearty food and drinks, they wanted to create that same atmosphere of bringing strangers and friends together in a multi-purpose space.
