Thursday night drinks in Berlin

Yeh i´ve been to Lunas Strand Bar, it´s pretty good. You can be close to the music/band and dance, or sit a bit further away and still be able to talk to each other. And it´s not too expensive either. It´s got my vote!

It´s got my vote!

Last time I was in Berlin, it was winter. So now I am certainly in favor of going to a Strand Bar.

Friedrichshain twice in as many weeks? My word! Make it so.

Ahhh no dissenting opinions... Can editor bob or someone else with edit privileges include Luna's Strand Bar in the header now please?
Weather also seems to play along. CU all tomorrow.

Sounds great! I try to be there!!

I'll try and get there a bit earlier, with my cowboy hat if I remember (if not, myself and a couple people actually look like our profile photos, although my hair is really short now). If the first people to the bar could mention where we're sitting so that the bar staff can point us out to any new people.

I'll try and remember to bring along a paper that says 'Toytown' on it for the table too just in case as some times it gets a bit hard to find people at beachbar/beer gardens.

See you all tomorrow!

Quick introduction... I've been lurking on TT for a few weeks. I'm a Londoner arrived in Berlin last month for a few months. Planning to come down tonight around 8.30-9pm, work permitting, you certainly all sound like an entertaining crowd.

As some of you might already know, this Thursday will be my last Thursday Night Drinks before I leave this wonderful city and as well as this, it will also be my birthday fairly soon. As it happens, I also found the 'baton' again which seems to have been lost for some time..

Anyways, as a result of all this, I hope nobody minds if I suggest this weeks venue for a "Final Thursday Night Drinks/Going Away Party/Birthday Party" all in one at:

Hairy Mary's
Diedenhoferstrasse 5, Prenzlauer Berg (Am Wasserturm)
U-Bahn: Senefelderplatz

Will be sad to see another one of our founding Thirsty Thursday members leaving us. I can see friday being a bit messy. thankfully not working in the morning.

UUhh, gotta go to work early on friday, but I definetely will be there!!!

I will be there...blissfully puppy-free for one night as well. Sad to see you go, you were the first person I met from Toytown!

I'll be there

I'm there, mate...seeya Thurs.

I'll just end up flirting with Laura.

Be Careful Mark is back!!!

KäptnKnitterbart I am looking foreword to meeting you in the flesh.

Hey I'm a newbie,
Couldn't find it last week (I am navigationaly challenged, you see...)
But I'm going to come tonight and I can't wait to meet you all!
See ya soon!
Nat

I will try and Remember to put a sign on the door of the Bar!!! Just incase newbies cant find it! But a little hint its one of the streets bordering the Wasser Turm in Prenzlauer Berg. The Water Tower for those who dont speak/understand German...like me!!!

navigationaly challenged, bite my tongue.

Also so new people know, Hairy Mary's is the unofficial Toytown club house, so basically everyone in there will be part of the group so no need to worry about finding us.

See you all in a bit.

Any suggestions for this week? Newbies feel free to post suggestions.

Not a newbie, but I'd like to make a suggestion: Zwiebelfisch on Savignyplatz. It's very down-to-earth, not too expensive, and I think it can hold all of us! The website is here. Close to public transport as well.

Que pasa

Are you just going to keep suggesting Que Pasa on both Thursday Night Drinks and Alternative Thursday Night Drinks? Is it that good?

Around Savignyplatz there is also Zillemarkt on Bleibtreustr. Went there last night for a quick beer and it seemed ok. It has a beer garden out the back if it's nice weather and some tables on the pavement. Also has a British red phonebox inside.

Its that good..but obviously you've not been there yet, so why dont you give it a try?

Hi I am new here but I would suggest "Magnet" in Prenzlauer Berg.
Decently priced, depending on who is doing the bar you can smoke inside, and they have fussball tables.
And they sometimes negotiate prices for shots ;-)

How about this pool place I know in Sophien str. The Sophien club is just downstairs. Mind you I think its time that TT shared a venue with our alternative brothers. But maybe not in Que Pasa.

We usually end up going with the first suitable suggestion and I kinda like the the thought of getting out of the k-berg, p-berg, f-shain triangle for once. Any objections to Zwiebelfisch?

Boo - I'll miss it this week as I'm in Turkey - see you all next week!

As a relative new comer I was wondering how often do TT drinks get out of F'shain and K'berg?

Where is Savignyplatz? The only one the address finder links me to is in Charlottenburg, but that CAN'T be right...

We try not to have drinks in the same neighborhood more than 3 weeks in a row. They do normally happen more in the East as we get more suggestions for places there than in the West, probably cause that larger majority live there. But if there are locations that aren't overly expensive or too hard to get to a lot of us are willing to try them out, we just need someone to suggest them.

And yes paulbb, you are reading that correctly. I suggest we all grab our passports and overnight bags and make the trek into the unknown... Charlottenburg!!

YAY! i'm so excited! this is actually kind of close to me!!! You all need to stop complaining... it's a great area!

I'll be there no matter what. It has been too long for me. Yes, I am alive and yes, I will be there Thursday with a big ol' smile.

I couldn't believe my eyes either when I saw the location!

If there is not too much work, I might try to sneak off to the drinks for a couple of hours.

Jade

By hook or by crook I'll be there. Its a easy to get to easy to get out of great chose.

Something tells me that little devil in my head is called lolo.

Jade

So where's it gonna be? Zwiebelfisch, am Savignyplatz? That's firm?

It's in the topic description line, so I'd say it's firm.

So how about Cafe Dachkammer, Simon-Dach-Str. 39, 10245 Berlin. I can't seem to find a website, but there is a description on this page

It has outdoor seating as well.

Back from my mini hols and looking forward to seeing y'all.
Dachkammer looks like a cool place, if it's indeed big enough for our noisy bunch it definitely has my vote.

They didnt like us last time, and the 2 times we went there, they had problems with the bills!

Plus we went to a bar on Simon Dach a few weeks ago and they made us move inside at 11pm, where space is limited for a large group like us.

But this is just my opinion!

Taking this into account, possibly the Prater or Pfefferberg, perhaps?

Ooh yes. I vote Pfefferberg or Prater. I've been craving a proper biergarten.

The weather looks like it will hold up too, it would cater for a large group, parfectly located and tthe former do a mean Leberkäse im Brötschen

I definetely would like an outside venue if the weather will hold up...:-) Prater sounds really good to me :-)

ah well if you guys insist on coming round to what's practically my doorstep I shall not resist even if I'm sure this will once again bring the wrath of the anti Prenzberg league upon us

Ok, lets go to Xberg then..
