PARK SLOPE, NEW YORK –
With its polished tables, exposed brick walls, and caged lighting, Korzo seems to have all the trappings of a standard Park Slope cocktail lounge, but its menu of Central European comfort food and hard-to-find German brews actually makes it a welcome Bavarian oasis in the middle of Brooklyn.
Once known as Eurotrip, this two-room bar and restaurant plays host to a chill crowd of twenty- and thirty-somethings who feast on imported sausages and televised soccer, washing down the headers with European hops and veggie burgers encased in fried dough.
Young couples and after-work office dwellers fill up tables in the adjoining room, sipping on Hungarian wines and devouring Slav Burgers under expressionist paintings and the ominous gaze of a painted bull’s head, which serves as the restaurant’s trademark.
By day, the venue offers a mellow scene with older European regulars stopping in for a pint or three, but after dark the tavern fills with younger diners and drinkers looking to enjoy an ever-changing selection of food specials and weekly live jazz.
Weekend brunches often include tantalizing treats like polenta, bottomless mimosas, and traditional halušky hash.
Offering a beer list that ranges from Staropramen to Bitburger Pilsner, and a selection of hearty culinary specialties, Korzo sends guests off in true Central European fashion – stuffed, sloshed, and ready to come back soon.
Local young professionals, laid-back beer aficionados, collegiate burger lovers, Eastern Europeans, and soccer fans, 20s through 40s.
