DRINKS FROM THE ZINC... Throughout the early and mid-century, traditional French cafés, bistros, & neighborhood taverns had a zinc topped bar where the patrons could enjoy conversation, camaraderie and refreshment or a meal. In the forties and fifties the drinking crowds would say "let's hit the zinc" on their way out to the local zinc bar for the evening. Less common today in France, and even more rare in the states, is the deep lustrous tone and solid cool touch of bars like the Café Continental Zinc. Ours comes from the Rhineland just across the French-German Border. It was brought in pieces to the U.S. from a Canadian importer and then retro-fitted for Café Continental by local German master metal fabricator Louis Albrecht. We hope you'll enjoy the same communal pleasures found at the zinc in the small cafés, bistros & taverns of France and Germany .
