Gottscheer Hall is a German social hall, bar and restaurant on Fairview Avenue in Ridgewood, founded in 1924 by the Gottscheers, ethnic Germans from what is now Slovenia.
Eater New York says the hall is full of neighborhood memories, and that the downstairs bar has become a secret local hangout for bratwurst or pierogies with a German draft beer.
