Blenko at Bahnhof WVrsthaus and Biergarten
Driving in Huntington this weekend we unexpectedly spotted Blenko glass.
Of course we stopped to check it out, and ended up having lunch at a wonderful new restaurant in the Huntington area.
Bahnhof
WVrsthaus and Biergarten, 747 7th Ave., Huntington, WV
The wood inside and out was imported from Germany, and the glass blocks are Blenko Glass.
Everything
is housemade- they grind and case their own sausages and make all the sauces and dips.
There are also more
than 30 different brews on tap.
You can read the full Huntington Herald review here:
