About

Atlantic Garden

The Atlantic Garden was a beer garden and music hall established by William Kramer in 1858 at what is now 50 Bowery in the Chinatown neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. It was next to the Bowery Theatre, on the site of the Bull's Head Tavern (formerly headquarters for New York's cattle market) and the New York Hotel. The premises extended west to a secondary frontage on Elizabeth Street.

The Bowery Theatre was built as a fashionable theater, but by the 1850s it came to cater to immigrant groups; the Germans especially patronized Atlantic Garden, which featured a theater behind the beer hall, where the new entertainment of "variety" acts were presented along with popular music concerts. In 1910, following the neighborhood's changing dynamic, Atlantic Garden switched to presenting Yiddish theatre.
