Zum Schneider Zum Schneider was a German restaurant and beer garden located on Avenue C in New York City. It first opened its doors in 2000, offering a traditional Bavarian-German menu along with 12 German beers on tap. The restaurant quickly became popular and played a key role in starting the NYC Biergarten craze. Zum Schneider was also known for its seasonal specialties and festive events such as Karneval, Oktoberfest, Adventsingen, and New Year's Eve. The owner Sylvester Schneider, originally from Weßling am Weßlinger See, Bavaria, created the restaurant to recreate the beergarden atmosphere he missed from his homeland. Zum Schneider has been permanently closed.

Well… we almost pulled off a German fairy tale yesterday. 🥲⚽️

Our Zum Schneider FC03 team played in the Final Qualifying Round of the U.S. Open Cup - FIFA-registered players, US Soccer–sanctioned… the real deal.

It had all the drama of a proper DFB Pokal match.
Just… without the happy ending. 😅

Still mega proud of the boys. 🍻
Onward, ZSFC03!

…and we’re working on making it a permanent one and hope to see you again soon!

What people say

German restaurants are known for their hearty and flavorful dishes, as well as their extensive beer selections. Zum Schneider, located on Avenue C in New York, is a prime example of a German restaurant that excels in both areas.

One of the standout features of Zum Schneider is their impressive selection of 12 German beers on tap. Whether you're a fan of light lagers or dark stouts, there's something for everyone to enjoy. And with a traditional Bavarian-German menu to match, you can indulge in classic dishes like schnitzel and bratwurst while sipping on your favorite brew.

But Zum Schneider isn't just a great spot for food and drinks - it's also a hub for community events throughout the year. From Karneval to Oktoberfest to New Year's Eve celebrations, there's always something happening at this lively establishment.

And if you're planning a group outing, Zum Schneider makes it easy with their reservation system. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just looking for an excuse to gather with friends and family, this Bavarian indoor biergarten is the perfect spot.
