Construction Begins on Paulaner’s Bowery Brewery

Posted on: July 25th, 2012 by

The decades-old Attias Oven Corp./Cannon Co. restaurant supply businesses relocated to Brooklyn in mid-June, two months after we first broke news that Paulaner was planning a flagship Bowery brewery. Building owner (and industry veteran) Simon Attias is leasing both stores to the German-based beer company for its first stateside brauhaus.

Change is now happening on the regular over at 265-267 Bowery, where groundbreak activities are now officially underway. For the last week or so, the gates were up, advertising an interior presently amidst absolute gutting. By yesterday evening, white-painted plywood arrived at the project site.

With regard to local politics, a license is all but in the bag for Paulaner Brauhaus. Despite some last-minute community outreach and neighborhood concerns about possible noise issues, ownership secured the green light from Community Board 3 for wine and beer privileges. Rudy Tauscher, former General Manger of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, is heading up this most ambitious venture. No doubt another game-changer on the Bowery midsection.

    Hey guys! Since you’re keeping abreast of the Paulaner happenings, you should use the most current front elevation. That one you have is an old one that we’re not using. The most current one’s on our FB page: http://goo.gl/W91Fc

    Many people in the community have expressed cautious reservations and concerns about this establishment, and it turns out many of the problems have gotten worse rather than better. The city has posted a “Stop Work” order on construction due to hazardous, unsafe practice on-site, which has apparently caused noxious dust to spew into the neighboring apartments of families and other residents. In general this operation has failed to listen to any of the community’s concerns and has avoided engaging in any dialogue. Some say this is completely different from how Keith McNally operated in developing Pulino’s across the street, as he spoke with neighbors regularly from the early planning stages until the present. These “big time” corporate business folks are evidently much less willing to care about what’s actually happening on the ground. And it looks like this attitude is already biting them in the ass.

    You would think that “corporate business folks” would at least be competent. But from the beginning they showed every sign that they don’t know how to run a business effectively at the most rudimentary level. Now we see a sign of the real damage this incompetence can cause.
