Plattduetsche Park — music venue
Plattduetsche Park has been Long Island and the surrounding area’s top destination for traditional German specialties and continental cuisine since 1901. On our eight-acre property, we are home to a restaurant, Biergarten, catering facilities, festivals, more than two dozen German clubs and so much more. Plattduetsche traces it roots back to 1883 when Plattduetsche Volksfest Vereen of Brooklyn (PVV) formed as a society for German immigrants from the flatlands of northern Germany. The group was dedicated to upholding German culture and tradition and supporting injured, sick and needy individuals and families within their local immigrant community. In order to fund their mission, the group held many festivals and events. These gatherings also helped PVV to celebrate and promote the culture and traditions of their homeland in a new country. Eventually, the group raised enough money to create the hospital that is today known as Wyckoff Heights Medical Center. Eventually, during the early 1900s real estate boom, the group was forced out of Brooklyn. Expanding to Long Island, they bought property from a German farmer in Franklin Square. Part of the land was to be used as an elderly home, and the other was designated as a building and beer garden for the society. And the rest is history! The Main Restaurant: Our main building restaurant is open for lunch and dinner from Wednesday through Sunday, beginning at noon. It features an expanded menu of both authentic German specialties and continental cuisine. Reservations are accepted by phone and highly recommended. Our main restaurant is also home to our bar, which has a juke box, big-screen HDTVs for sporting events like soccer and a large variety of German beers on tap and in bottles. The Beer Hall at the Plattduetsche Biergarten: The Beer Hall at the Plattduetsche Biergarten is both a family-friendly venue and a different, fun choice for a day or night out. The expanded Beer Hall menu includes everything that one might find in a Munich biergarten, along with traditional German favorites and some continental choices to accommodate everyone. It is open year-round on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but the hours depend on the time of year and the weather. During the warmer months, the Biergarten opens at 3 p.m. on Fridays and 12 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. In the winter, the Biergarten opens at 5 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and 12 p.m. on Sundays.
