Wurst in Park Slope: Der Kommissar is in Town

APRIL 29, 2011

A new Brooklyn sausage joint adds Austrian-style sausages, cheese spreads, beer and schnapps to South Slope choices.

Sausage stands in Vienna are the nexus of food culture. Der Kommissar offers a Brooklyn twist on this Austrian institution, featuring a menu of artisanal Austrian-style sausages, eight draft beers, and an extensive selection of schnapps.

Owners Gary Baldwin and wife Monika Wuhrer, an Austrian native, and their partner Alex Darsey, all longtime Slope residents and arts supporters, have set out to build a spot for good beer, tasty sausages, and great hospitality. The 20-seat room is good for a bite and a beer (or several) at the bar, but you can get a bite to go at the walk-up window.
