| TEXT | Newark's Atlantic Garden is well known to all lovers of the amberhued beverage and is daily and nightly patronized by immense throngs of people, representing all nationalities and conditions of life. The saloon was established more than twenty years ago, but not until 1872 did the present firm of Koenig & Hohweiler take charge. They enlarged the premises and established an amusement or theatrical garden, which at once sprung into popularity and has made the Atlantic Garden famous as a place of resort. The building is centrally located at Nos. 162 and 164 Market Street, is built of brick and is 50x150 feet in dimensions. The saloon occupies the front of the premises, is 44x50 feet in size, and here is provided beer, wines, liquors, cigars, etc. The amusement garden, or theatre, is divided from the saloon by means of a screen, and is 50x100 feet in size, seated with chairs, accommodating at least five hundred persons, and is provided with a stage, boxes, drop curtain, an orchestra, and all the paraphernalia of a regular theatre. Tip-top variety entertainments are given nightly and many of New York's shining theatrical stars appear before the foot-lights at Atlantic Garden. An admission of ten cents is charged to the amusement hall. On the second floor of the building are the rooms for parties, etc. A large force of clerks, performers, bartenders, and waiters are employed and an immense trade is done. The indi\idual members of the firm are Gustave A. Koenig and George Hohweiler. Both are natives of Germany, live and progressive business men, and give personal attention to the various departments of their garden. |
