Ape Centrale opens: Dachau's new oasis of enjoyment from July!
Dachau's old town is expecting a lively summer: From the beginning of July, “Ape Centrale”, a new pop-up restaurant, will open right in front of the Zieglerbräu, which is intended to enrich the cityscape. Loud Mercury The mobile bar “Ape Aperitivo” is run by Johannes Schwarz, who created the Aperitivo Garden to enliven the old town. The symbolic start will take place on June 23rd with Mayor Florian Hartmann and actress Brigitte Walbrun.
The whole thing is no coincidence: According to the “Dachau acts” trade association, the desire for revitalization was clearly expressed. This closes a gap that was created by the loss of the previous beer garden on the Schranne. The “Ape Centrale” not only wants to offer gastronomic delicacies, but also act as a showcase for local creativity, with collaborations with shops and artists from Dachau being planned. Johannes Schwarz will offer selected wines and aperitivi from a converted ape, although opening times will vary and depend on the weather.
Grand opening and creative offers
The opening party on July 5th from 10 a.m. promises to be a great event, with introductory prices of 5 euros for various aperitivi and Italian street food. The event will be accompanied musically by the singer Alma Civeja and the Italo-pop DJ Felicità. This creative gastronomy initiative fits perfectly into the current pop-up trend landscape.
