May I take the opotunity to point out that Deeba is only 1400meters away, their food usually gets a 10/10 or a not rated depending on who is being served.

Oh boy, cheap beer and 3 curry houses in the nähe, I foresee massive decision problems! tongue.gif
Carm
oh no, curry wars moved to Fridays (check your local listings for a channel near you).

Start time is 1900 and the Reservation is under the name Toytown.. As always whoever gets there early, guards the tables.. wink.gif
Captain Ridiculous!
It's all quite simple. Get there early and eat something small straight away. You know, the old stomach liner. Stops you getting pissed!
Then have a skin full of the cheap beer they selling. Then, later, when folks want to go on for that late night spicy murg, you're ready! Not too hungry, not too pissed. Easy!

Decision? Easy! After a few beers, there will always be one person who really, really wants to go to a particular place! Just follow the pack.

I like to think of it as friendly fire, unless the MadMaxMurderer has spoilt it by telling the curry lads we all want it extra extra spicy. . . then it doesn't sound so frendly to me.
Captain Ridiculous!
Anyone thristy yet? ... Early start? ... Tempting?

Remember. Cheap beer! ~~~cheeeeep~~~~beeeer!

Woooo!

And of course cocktails!
..

woo.
ian
Food: Rubbish
Drinks: Excellent! Beer Very cheap! Large Mineral Water with a lemon in 1Euro!

Funny, we tried the Koelsch Beer for a laugh. Not quite the Bavarian thing. But good for a change. It comes in 0.2 mini glasses for 1Euro. We all odered at leat 2 at a time!

Conclusion: Good for drinks, then go on somewhere else for food.

Has anyone been to the Chicago Express in Westendstr lately?
And anyone got the telephone number?
Darkknight
Chicago Express
Westendstr. 117
80339 München
Telefon: 08951919751
Fax: 08951919753
ian
Thanks DK. But I already tried that number from Kneipensuche and it doesnt ring and isn't assigned!
Darkknight
Then stop by on your bike ride home and see if their still even around...

PS: I just tried both #'s and their Busy... So they are either having Phone probs. or are out of business.
Carm
never heard of them, sorry for the lack of help.

if you are looking for something out that way, what about Spektakal in Pfeuferstr (spelling?) in the bar area. I have only ate at the restaurant, so I don't know how busy the bar area gets.
ian
Thanks. Spektakel is an old favourite of the Beergardeners. They give us the an area at the back that has lots of space.
Olivesaxer
any word yet on tommorow's place of debauchery?

i need to make a ton of bad decisions this weekend to make up for all the good ones i made during the week.

FYI, I occasionally walk past this place, and I noticed it changed its name a couple of times in the last year. It's currently a pizzeria/cafe/restaurant/bar called "Antonio". Don't have a phone number though.
ian
Ok, thanks. We won't go there then! Someone said the new Wassermann in Baaderstr. is good! How about it?

They havn't reviewed it yet on Toytown. Perhaps we can do a full Toytown test?: Prices. Coolness. How easy it is to annoy the waiter...
CitizenSmith
To all you thirsty winter mode-ers,

After an exhaustive search a decision has been made:

To offer a mix of beer, food and cocktails we will meet at the The (New) Wassermann, Fraunhoferstr. 39 at 7pm. Tel.13937710.
The table is booked in the name Phillips.
This is the place previously known as Baaders, not to confused with Douglas Baader who had a Spit (or is that Douglas Baader who Spat). Not to be further confused with the famous Munich Hurricane, you have to count the propeller blades.
Consequently we expect you all to be legless by the end of the evening.
Tally ho.

QUOTE
The new Wassermann still looks like the old Baader's. Prices and cocktail hours seem to be the same.

Oops yes. I got it wrong again!

Hey Kids!

Just a reminder that the storm has now passed and we are all off to try out the NEW Wassermann tonight! Turn up if you feel like a few beers, a laugh and the answer to the golden question!!

burmp!

Wow, that is not cheap, hope they are jumbos unsure.gif
Jeeves
Oh shit. Right, I'd better stop listening to AC/DC and get moving then. rolleyes.gif
ian
Jeeves: very sensible. You cant have AC/DC on your headphones on the U-bahn. In case you have to do air-guitar when the inspectors come along.

I've still got that Oh happy day song going round my brain!
Jeeves
Also zee headbanging ees not allowed!

Edit: AC/DC did Oh happy day? huh.gif
winsoc
That place looks well cool, Im on my way now, long friday at work still in suit order but a couple of drinks and chat in English would be perfect start to unwind.

See you there smile.gif

Er... Yes! It was in their early gospel days. When they were back in black!
helena
yes, it does look nice and there's cocktails biggrin.gif , so I'm on my way..sort of...
ian
Hey, wait for me!
Jeeves
We did. But you had to catch the last U-Bahn...
ian
So there you all were standing outside the door of the bar, probably discussing where to go far a quick last beer. (Or a curry im some cases) and I had to miss it to get the stupid U-Bahn cos my scheiss armourded bike tyre let me down.

Still, we had a good night out. I met some more Toytown "names" and fell foul of the German law "last to pay gets to pay for missing taquilas". I failed to give the waitress the tip I wanted to give her. My warning that if she tries to bully me she loses the tip, went unheeded. How can I save her next time?

Cheers and TTFN!
(Toytown Friday Nights)

Now get to bed Jeeves!
Allershausen
Did you actually have to pay for the Tequilas? Because I only saw two people drinking them and you could probably get your money back from them. Although one of them might not remember actually drinking them, due too a slight over indulgence causing him to leave early! tongue.gif
Jeeves
I thought you didn't pay for the tequilas and in the end payed exactly what you'd worked out you should pay. But no tip was certainly the way to go.

I'm 100% sure that the one who over indulged and left early has no recall of Tequila smile.gif and would be more than happy to get them in next time.

Had a great time in Wassermann, very friendly bunch of people.
ian
Have no fear. As a seasoned payer of bills and all round argumentative chap I paid only for what I had had. Sadly I was unable to give a tip. Which she was going to get. Right up until the very last moments of the evening.
That sort of argument used to spoil or taint my evening a bit. But these days I keep an exact log of what I consume and somehow feel that I am "helping them" do the right thing by sticking to my principles. Or so my logic goes at that time of night.
Allershausen
Well done, I'd hate to think that you'd compromised your principles purely because the waitresses were friendly and attractive! biggrin.gif It's a shame that they screw up like that, because it was a good place, good service and good food. You need to add a note to the start page reminding everyone to bring a pen!
Jeeves
Aye, then pen and beermat tactic seems to defeat them every time. Still, it was entertaining to watch a waitress who at the start of the evening was causing a nudge-nudge-wink-wink to go through the male ranks become a "stupid bitch" (if not in so many words) by the end of the same evening. Oh how fickle we are rolleyes.gif
Otherwise good place, good service until the end. Food - don't know because I didn't eat, but it didn't look too special. It was worth holding out for the curry that we still managed to find.
ian
Hello snow queens! (Narnia)

Welcome to winter at last! Some hate it Some love it! Me? As long as I can drink it, I'm happy!

Friday we are in the "Der Pschorr" in the Schrannenhalle at the Viktualienmarkt from 19:00 tomorrow!

For those of you who have not yet been to the Der Pschorr or the Schrannenhalle, the Der Pschorr is like a respectable beer hall, connected to the Schrannenhalle. Which is a type of indoor market with various food stalls and some culture thrown in! (But not too much!)

We have tables booked in the name of "Mister Bogart" (whoever he is!)

Isn't this the same place we had problems with before? I thought you said you'd never go there again after the last whoohaa...
CitizenSmith
A bit oh whoohaa on a Friday Night is good for the sole
Jeeves
and walking home afterwards is good for the soul
ian
We are only going there to give the waiter a hard time and not give him a tip for being so cheeky! It was him that didn't want us back. The problem was they did not have beermats to mark! i shall have to bring my own. How anal is that?
ian
Ah! i get it now. Soal Soul Sole!

What is whoohaa anyway? We are going to have some Yeehaa! a bit of Yahoo! and hooray Henry!
Darkknight
WhooHaa = Brouhaha = Trouble/Argument - Trust the Urban Dictionary
ian
Thanks. It also said "A brouhaha is larger than a kerfuffle" educational stuff!

Aged butler: What's all this brouhaha?
Nick Danger: Brouhaha? Hahaha.
Aged butler: Hahahaha...
Nick Danger: HAHAHAHAHAHA...
Aged butler: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Nick Danger: Wait... wait a minute!
