Get ready for pretzels! Werkstatt, the new Austrian restaurant at 509 Coney Island Avenue is officially opening on Thursday, September 3.

We first took a peek inside the space back in July and we love all of the old signs and reclaimed wood.

If you are curious about what they’ll be offering, we got a sneak peek at their menu earlier this month. We can’t wait to try the beef goulash and the homemade bratwurst and the chicken schnitzel — okay, there are a lot of things we are looking forward to trying.

To wash it all down, there’s plenty of beer and Austrian wine, as well as a combo that mixes lemon sorbet with a Belgian beer that we’re certainly curious about.

And if anyone with experience as a server is looking for a new gig, owner Robin Wertheimer says they are also looking for more help! Email her for more information at robinita13@hotmail.com.
