German "Beer Hall"

edit

Does anyone remember the name and dates of operation of the German beer hall restaurant that operated in the corner across from Godiva (closer to Guess and shared the west wall of Frost Bros.)? I think it closed during one of the renovations, perhaps around the time of the Saks addition. Clipper471 02:22, 6 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

I do remember this place, but never was a patron. If I recall correctly there was an entrance to the mall at this location and the beer hall was down that corridor, but I think it went away when Frost Bros. closed. Maybe it was actually a part of Frost Bros.? I remeber the Gucci boutique in Frost relocating next to Sak's when it closed.IceBRG 18:08, 15 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Mrs. Kuru, who is apparently a little more knowledgeable about beer halls than I would have thought, says it was something along the line of "Dunderbachs". Kuru talk 01:32, 18 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

The name of this establishment was Mr. Dunderbach's. It was a german-style deli that was located in various malls across the country. I ate quite often at the one in North Star Mall, as well as one located in a mall in Austin, TX.

Timeline

edit

I added a timeline with major milestones in the mall's history based on research I did at the San Antonio Public Library during a recent trip to the city. Nearly all of the information in the timeline is taken from 'Express-News' archives, mainly the September 23, 1960 and September 22, 1985 editions.IceBRG 18:08, 15 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Does anyone have any photographs of this area back when it was occupied (or current photos from mall employees if it's still accessible)? --Zorbonkingofpants 21:43, 16 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
