Killmeyer's Old Bavarian Inn

STATEN ISLAND. On Staten Island and in the mood for some good, old-fashioned German cooking? Killmeyer's has just what you need. The one-time inn has changed very little since first opening around 1890, boasting an original mahogany bar, period furnishings, and a unique wrought-iron Spaten sign. The menu features authentic German dishes such as veal shanks and saurbraten. Of course, beer is "kaiser," and the mini-kegs of Kostritzer, Schwarzbier or any of the inn's on-tap Weiss beers are favorites. To get to Killmyers's, take the Staten Island Ferry then Bus S74 to Sharrotts Road.
