As a visitor, how should I find y'all -- will you be in a particular spot inside? Thanks!

Also you can call my number when you get there or tell the waitress you want Bender.
As the tables are booked in that name.

thanks Ian! Happy beer drinking wishes from Frankfurt !
Perhaps an exchange program could be offered for our members !

Thanks. We can sell you some of our members if you like!
For those of who dont read Frankfurt posts, action organises the Frankfurt Friday Night Drinks.
Paul-75214
Great - I'll be there if I can just get a flight out of Frankfurt...
madgibson
Probably just as quick to take the ICE train...only takes ca. three and a half hours now!
ian
ICE? Now you got me thinking about cocktails again!

helena
I'll be there for Happy Hour ;-)
coolerking

sea-king

CitizenSmith

the_eagle
Yes it was a fierce night...ended up with a crowd of lesbians in the Die Bank...5am job.Brutal hangover now just lifting !!!

Topper night.
ian
So where to next week? It ought to be:
    in a different part of town not too far out
    somewhere we havn't been for a while
    somwhere that can cope with a group of 30 or more people
    somewhere that serves food and beer. Cocktails are a bonus
Thats all! We're not fussy! We just wanna party!
the_eagle
Yeah this Friday Eve Beer Treff is all the rage man. I love it as I have 2 days to recover !! And boy o boy do I need em after last nights Shenanigans !!

as for where we go next week, from my side no issue...NO BAR TOO FAR !!!
sea-king
Zar Bar! Or however you spell it!
ian
Have you been there? Is it not too shicky-micky? Can they handle us? I've just found the website. It doesnt look our type of place from the pictures. Napkins made into little cones standing on the tables alongside emptly wine and water glasses! But maybe you meant a different part of the place. I didnt see any tall standing tables either. Which seems to be important these days. Fill me in!
madgibson
Only been there once for TT Tues. drinks...didn't appear to be shicky-micky at all...not sure where those pics were taken but it didn't look like that when I was there! There are tall tables inside to the left (for mingling) and after that at the end is a "lounge" area - big leather sofas but miles apart so you can't have a conversation.

I reckon it's a good choice for Fri. drinks - Karl-Preis-Platz is the nearest U-Bahn so not too far out.
ian
Actually, we're now on the lookout for pleasant pubs that have an area of tall tables that allow mingling you see. So if anyone knows of anywhere that can compete with last nights Zoozies atmosphere. Please let us know. It doesn't have to have all the dark wood and a church pulpit! Although the 80's music did help in my air guitar solos!

CitizenSmith
Hello m' harties,

This week we have a large table in the heart of the Unions Bräu cellar, I booked it in the name of Cap'n Jack Sparra', Arr!
Start some time about 7pm although Allershausen has a tendancy to get a bit thirsty around 5:30 which usually gets the ball rolling for an early start.

Unionsbräu is at MaxWeberPlatz, U4/5 here is a google map

If you can't find us don't bother to call me, Gwyn on 01733510658 because there is no reception in the cellar.
I wouldn't bother to call Ian on 01728227752 either if I were you.
bluedave
Cracking keller this place.
belgianpraline
Mmmm, I do like cellars...Sound-proof as well?

The things we could get up to and no-one can call for help!

I won't be there this week, I'm off skiing, so you'll have to start without me!

Unionsbräu, besides being another highschool favorite of mine, has a brewery with excellent beer! Good choice, I am looking forward to it!

If my memory does not fail me, this is one of the few places in Munich that still have those handy basins in the toilet called Papst extra for puking

Interesting preferences! I think you will like the place!
ian
Pirates? Sound proof cellars? Manacles? Where is all this leading?

Could it be the Starkbier?
deco
Is the cellar the same thing as the "Malzboden" section? Just asking because there's live music in the Malzboden on Friday from 8pm, and according to the Unions-Bräu website there's a €7 entrance fee.

Edit: OK, I'm guessing it's not, as the website has entries for both the Braukeller and the Malzboden.
CitizenSmith
No the Malzboden is down on the left in a separate "Chamber", its the Steamboat Stompers a strangely nautically themed Jazz band.

By the way my link to the Unionsbräu didn't escape the killer robot so here it is again.
sea-king
Do we have to listen to Jazz all night long or is this optional? I like a bit sometimes but lets not over do it! See you there!
ian
Last time we were there we could only faintly hear it from the room next to the jazz room. But this time we are in the middle of the main keller and will not hear a peep from the Back Bottom Stonkers or whatever they are called! (Sorry Eddie!)
Did I mention Starkbier?
ian
Who is up for an early start?
Does anyone know if they do Starkbier in a cocktail glass?
CitizenSmith
Name Your Time, I could start any time. I'll bring Dylan, although this will involve sitting in the sun.
CitizenSmith
Ok. I withdraw my last post, (just been outside).

I'm up for an early start.
GreenTea
If there is curry later on, will it be at Surbahar? (only 5 mins walk up the road)

OK, I know - at the Friday Beer Garden, anything can and often does happen, and making predictions several hours in advance is impossible without a crystal ball, but who knows, maybe someone out there has such a device.

Don't know yet if I'll even be there, cos I might have to drag myself away from somewhere else, but for Surbahar I might be tempted.
Geeper
New to the board. Found it while researching things to do in Munich. Here on business few times a year and happen to be in town this weekend. Will try to stop by.

Jack Sparra? Seriously who I shoudl ask for biggrin.gif

Geep
bluedave
He means it. Just look around for a load of English speakers mate.
Geeper
Sounds like a plan. Hope to come meet everybody. Do people eat here as well or should I eat early...
GreenTea
Geeper: I'm not too familiar with the Unionsbraeu, so can't say what the food is like, but I'm sure you'll find something to eat there if you're hungry. If you like Indian food, the Munich High Priest of Curry usually shows up later in the evening, around 9-10 pm, and tries to abduct people to the nearest curry establishment.

Oh, and if CitizenSmith says to ask for Cap'n Jack Sparra', he means it. Although what he actually wrote was "Cap'n Jack Sparra', Arr!" Does that mean we have to go "Arrr!" to the waiter? unsure.gif

Yeah, we're all crazy! Come and join the fun!
Allershausen
A lot of us have something to eat there...and then go out for a curry afterwards as well!
CitizenSmith
Looks like tonight there will be two groups, the first being several individuals sitting alone and isolated by themselves probably in the corner, and the ones who asked for "Cap'n Jack Sparra', Arr!".
belgianpraline
Come on! Tell us! I'm dying to know! smile.gif
CitizenSmith
What's that Belgianpralinelinechen?
belgianpraline
Isn't it an anagramchen?
CitizenSmith
you are just "Re-labeling Pain". Or are you (a) "Pliable Grannie"?

Sorry to disappoint you GT but the Munich High Priest of Curry (I'm sure he'll like his new title) is out of town so all the rest of you curry followers will have to make do without your leader tonight biggrin.gif

P.S. They were just at Surbahar on Wed. for curry night! Saffran is also nearby though so plenty of options for the "addicts"!
GreenTea

Yeah, "They" were, but I wasn't sad.gif . And it's so close to Unionsbraeu - too good an opportunity to miss. Then again, never been to Safran, so would be a good opportunity to try something new.

Anyway, all of this is hypothetical, as I don't yet know if I'll be there.
