Thursday night drinks in Berlin

man vince, what country are you from?

Yeah man.

dipling keeps telling me how Canada is the coldest place on Earth

hey marc, isn't there another hemisphere that you should be in?

You'd think with growing up in Atlantic Canada with -20 action plus windchill, this would be nothing for me, but I've gotten soft in the past few years - I've managed to avoid sub-zero since...2005.

I'll probably stop by. My first time was last week, but I was only able to say hi briefly because I had a friend in town that night. I may bring a friend with me.

I miss thursday night drinks, but eating lots of cheddar cheese and gorging on bacon sandwiches is making up for it. See you all next week.

It was great to meet all of you last night, I had so much fun! Hope to see you all next week! -Alison

hello! ive just moved to berlin this weekend and heard about your weekly meeting from an old regular attendee of yours! where are you meeting this week, i would love to come along this thursday if youre meeting again?

I've finally made it back from christmas holidays and definitely looking forward to catching up with everyone this thursday and meeting any new people that may have joined us over the holiday (or anyone who may be new this week..)

- ok, so maybe a bit depressed to have to go back to work and need something to help me get through this week..

So the non-alcoholic buzz from cheddar cheese and bacon has worn off already and reality has sunk in? Though, I'm still jealous that you got your jonesing satisfied with the quick fix.

Looking forward to knowing where you will be meeting up this week. Moved to Berlin this fall and would be happy to catch up for a drink on Thursday... Any place sunny would be great!

Fridge and freezer full of cheddar cheese and bacon, packed in rationed portions to get me through to my next fix.

I am an ultra newbie here! but I will come along to this if I get well soon enough

Do you have good "stuff"? Are you selling?

"cheese" and "bacon" I mean...

For a small fee, I will quite happily bring goodies over on my usual one monthly trips! Or for those who havent discovered it yet, Galleria Kaufhoff now sells Catherdral City Cheddar! Woo Hoo!

Any suggestions for this weeks venue?

My reply mirrors Rob's - if I can get over this exotic 'cold' I caught soon enough, I will actually try to make this one. I don't know about other regions of the world, but California never connected me with a seasonal illness that has been even remotely as debilitating as this one...haha.

Do you go back to Auld Reekie once a month? Cushy! ;-)

So unless there's any violent protests against this venue, I suggest this week we go to Trespassers this thursday.

Steinstrasse 12, 10119 Berlin-Mitte, SBhf Hackescher Markt / UBhf Weinmeisterstrasse U8

There definitely plenty of space and sounds like there's a decent selection of drinks.

I have no objections!

Don't know the place... so I have NO objections! See you on Thursday then! Cheers...

Looks cool. Also in.

Hi everyone, Ive recently moved here and know no one! Will definately try to make it this week work permitting as could do with a social life again!

Hey everyone, I just moved here last Wednesday and I just found this forum today. I will definitely try and make it tomorrow. What time does everyone normally meet there?

From 8pm till late!

Hi,

I am new to Berlin and came across this site today. Can I join in the gathering tonight? Can someone give directions and how I would be able to recognise the group when I am there?

Thanks

Jade

Just copy and paste the address into google maps and you'll find it no problem. It's in a basement bar on a road with a bunch of construction.

Steinstrasse 12, 10119 Berlin-Mitte, SBhf Hackescher Markt / UBhf Weinmeisterstrasse U8

Some of us have a picture on our profile, well I do as does globalgirl, that should help you recognise us. Otherwise will make sure we are very loud!

I'm a little confused about all of this cheddar cheese talk, but I'm going to try to come tonight.

What is confusing about the Cheddar Cheese?

obviously not a big cheddar fan then.

If one of the first few people to the bar could mention that we're the Toytown group and where we're sitting, just in case, so that if anyone asks and doesn't notice the very loud group (especially since 'some' people are back)of english speakers, they can point us out for them.

Will probably show up tonight, just need to drag myself out of the apt after getting my fix of watching the replay feed of last night's Daily Show and Colbert Report now that something new is back on. That, and it's warmer than last week.

I'll be there +2

Yeah goonergal said she was coming!!!

I may drop by!

First have another drink, maybe drop by when I am back in time

I'll probably be getting serve some cold revenge for being an ass recently, but count me in too.

You, an ass, dipling? Noooooooooo.

thanks little fish, i'll try to remember that when you're kicking me in the ...

Ass!!

I am also new and had planned on coming tonight but I will be unable to. I started German lessons today for one month so I now have to work late for this month to make up time. Enjoy hopefully I can join you all next month.

thanks ScotsLass, i can deal with a kick in the ass. i was afraid it would be somewhere else!

I'll either be there with a guest or two, or not at all. Perfectly divided odds

damn, I found this site just a couple of hours too late!

So what's the plan?

Feel free to make a suggestion MarkL!

anyone is free to suggest a place. as long as there's enough room for around 25+ people and relatively easy to get to.

OK

Here are some suggestions. Don't Shoot'em down just because of the "We've never been there" factor..
All of these places are easily reachable with public transport, Have many good reviews, and are big enough
for our needs.

Kapelle, Zionskirchstr. 22-24
Nearest Train station(s): Bernauer Str. / Senefelderplatz / Rosenthaler Platz

Strandbad Mitte, Kleine Hamburger Str. 16
Nearest Train station(s): Rosenthaler Platz

Cafe Montevideo
Viktoria-Luise-Platz 6, 10777 Berlin - Schöneberg | Tel: 213 10 20
Nearest Train station(s): U4 Viktoria-Luise-Platz

Or if your into Coffee

Café Einstein
Kurfurstenstr. 58
Nearest Train station(s): Nollendorfplatz / Kuferstenstrasse

Redneck, why dont you just pick one? If there are too many suggestions then it gets confusing.

Hi there back in Berlin this week will be great to see y'all.

Strandbad Mitte in my opinion wont work, it's always packed. Chances are half of us wouldn't even get a drink, much less enough space to talk & lounge.
Kapelle - lovely place but think too small for us or do they have an extra basement room like August Fengler or Intersoup?

Dont know Montevideo. Café Einstein, havent been there for ages so don't know if that'd work.

Cheers
