It is believed to be the first Capital Region bar or restaurant to screen for vaccination status. It s so small I didn t want to open it back up until it felt safe to do so, said owner Matt Baumgartner, who also owns the 3-week-old Troy Beer Garden, located on the ground floor of 2 King St., below The Berlin. Baumgartner reimagined the street-level bar into a plant-bedecked space complete with its own florist after earlier this year selling the Wolff s Biergarten brand, which had one of its locations at 2 King St.
