Thursday night drinks in Berlin

Let me find the old posting.

[quote]Golgatha beer garden in Viktoria Park. The address is Dudenstrasse 48 - 64 and the nearest transport is U-Bahn: Yorckstrasse (U7) and Platz der Luftbrücke (U6); S-Bahn: Yorckstrasse (S1, S2); Bus: M19 Yorckstrasse, 140 Katzbachstrasse or 104 Dudenstrasse. The 140 bus is, in my opinon, the closest stop and the bus stops at Mehringdamm.[quote]

This were the instructions the last time we went there.

See you all later

Tonight will be my first night too! See you there.

Look out for the sign at the edge of the park for the bar!

Any idea's for this weeks venue? The first person to post a suitable venue get's to choose, so if you're like to pick a bar near you..

Doesn't look like the weather is going to be fantastic this week so probably an indoor venue, with enough space for up to 40 to squeeze in un-announced, would be best.

Well seeings it is my last TT drinks I would like to suggest my favourite venue and the place it all started for me... Erdbeer.

Any objections?

I have no objections!!

None at all! Good choice

i'll drink anything this week. see you there.

Erbeer it is then. See you all thursday!

Erdbeer Bar...ahhhh, memories.. I'll be there.

I'll be there and possibly bringing a few people along as well!

Hey, I am new here in Berlin. Where is the Erdbeer bar exactly ? I would like to come.

Right by Rosa-Lux Platz

Hello everyone.

Look forward to seeing you all.

All the best

I found out yesterday that my thesis has been accepted (so now I'm Dr Mary)...so in a big, happy, celebratory mood. Will be there, with bells on! Mebbe with an astronomer or two in tow...

Hi
I am moving to Berlin from Orkney, Scotland at the end of August to teach. I know no-one so if you will have me, I would like to come along to the first night in September to get to know some bodies.
I'm hoping to end up living in either Charlottenburg or Wilmersdorf. So suggestions would be very grateful!
Hope to see you all soon

The more the merrier. We usually have a group of at least 30 to 50 people (was a really large crowd last Thursday and ended up taking over most of the bar) with around half the group being newbies. It's a great way to mix and meet new people.

There's also tons of other events during the week or weekends to check out, for example a few people were talking about organizing a meet up in the park. maybe piggy backing onto the football in the park meetups on saturdays.

Where to this week? The first person to suggest a suitable location to hold 30+ random English speakers gets to choose. So if you want it near you this week..

I think The Irish Pub in the Europa Centre meets all the requirements. What does everybody think?

OIRISH BARS ARE BAD
Oh lord save us not that fucking place its so grim and its a Irish bar it must be a unwritten rule but TT as far as I know has never gone to and irish bar ..that place is so bad, NO no no.But i do have a alternative suggestion if your stuck on the whole irish thing (I know I am not) but the harp in c.burg is nice.

"The Oscar wilde" ...don't ever go there. Its full every night of the week of drunken Brits watching football and its expensive.
and "The Kilkenny" ... just as grim but with the added disadvantage of being under a train station. They do buckets of Redbull and Vodka!!!

Last time we went to the Harp we got told to be quiet. Plus the beer is too expensive! What about Graffiti at Adenauerplatz?

The TT wiki says rumour has it as a laundering establishment for the Russian Mob..)

kommentarlos I'll gladly go to an OIRISH bar if I finally get to meet kommentarlos .

_{*giggles and blushes*}

Logistically I can only do west berlin proper on a school night. I am not hung up on an OIRISH bar either - but money laundering is always good for a laugh though

OIRISH BAR is a commonly used term look it up.

So not Graffiti then?

yes Graffiti at Adenauerplatz? for now but leave it open to others to make a suggestion. I mean your school night activities are not that important to the greater good.

Svea (my girlfriend) would like to suggest another place, if it's alright, as part of her birthday celebrations which being at midnight Thursday night...

What do you all think of this cocktail bar right at Hackescher Markt?

1a Lauschgift

Absolutely

The first Thursday night drinks was actually held in the Oscar Wilde. We've also been to the overpriced/terrible service (actually can't tell if it was terrible cause there really wasn't any service at all) one in Charlottenburg (was it the Harp?) But I have to agree on the slim grim-ness of an irish bar in a run down shopping complex at zoo station.

Birthday people do tend to get priority in picking around here. The place looks decent, and we'll bring down the over yuppie-ness of the place with our jumbled group. But is there enough space? Looks a little full according to the photos, or was that just for an event? Would it maybe be possible to reserve a corner for our group?

Yeah we'll call the bar and let them know. It's usually pretty empty when we go there, I think the photos are from special parties they have on occasion.

So does this mean that the venue is decided then?

1a Lauschgift easy to get to easy to get home from...1a Lauschgift has my vote .

If you can get home easy enough - then that's all right then

ugh, hackescher markt. i think i'll be skipping this week's tt.

wonder what the alternatives are doing?

Was wondering the same thing myself.

To be honest, it's a pretty easy place to get to from most areas - east-west S-Bahn, U8 to Xberg and one stop away from Friedrichshain for trains running north-south...

But convienent mainly for the Princelovieberg lot!

Not really! Only "convienent" (sic) if you happen to live on the M1 tram route and not too many people do!
If you feel that way fuck off to alternative drinks because Kreuzberg is just so easy to get to(!)

^ um, oops, that was me!

sheesh. it's just one thursday out of many people. no need to get so edgy people.

since we've got a couple suggestions on the table how bout we get a couple more votes. It's between an Irish bar at zoo station in the Europa center, or a coctail'ish bar (1a Lauschgift) at hackesher markt.

Then count 2 votes for Svea and I (for 1a Lauschgift, of course).

I vote for 1a Lauschgift.

Since it Svea's birthday 1a Lauschgift has my vote.

Obviously, I will be voting for the birthday girls venue

I will try and suggest somewhere westwards another week then.

Have fun.

I am new to this group and thus do not know if my vote will count for anything:
in case it does I vote for Lauschgift, which is conveniently close to where I live

Hoping to make it this week. Irish bars are too expensive and not at all Irish!!!

seems we have our pick for this week. it's the birthday girls choice of course. We'll try for something more westerly next week.

Hi all,

just moved to Berlin from Malmö working as a photographer and i don't know anyone. Looking for some friendly people for a drink and a laugh. I found this forum today and hope you don't mind another joining in. Look forward to meeting you.
