Bowery Boogie recently reported the closure of Paulaner’s Lower East Side brewpub location.

Our thoughts:

During its four years in business, we’ve visited Paulaner on several NYC pub crawls.  We enjoyed our time at Paulaner and are sad to see it go.  The beer was great, the staff was friendly and the food was solid.  We echo Bowery Boogie’s sentiments that perhaps Paulaner’s physical location on the Bowery may have not been the best.  We realize it’s difficult to find the exact right location for a bar/brewery of its size anywhere in Manhattan.  The LES location on Bowery was likely more affordable rent-wise than a spot further uptown.  Perhaps Paulaner can find another spot in Manhattan or elsewhere in the five boroughs.  Paulaner will be missed.
