Thursday night drinks in Berlin

Won't be there AGAIN this week as I will be spending 10EUR on a beer in Paris instead!!

And not only will Gooner Gal be paying 10EUR on her beer, she will be complaining about it too. ; )

Well OF COURSE! One of my most endearing traits

Endearing??!!! Whatever!!!

Charming...and after I brought you BILTONG too...tut tut Lassie

Man that was good BILTONG! I love you for that...You are utterly charming and Generous! I seriously cant thank you enough...its amazing!

Enjoy Gay Paris! Have a beer on me!!!

You paying??

(And you're more than welcome!)

i'll be there.

ok...i am going to try to come...I keep pomising to make an appearance and flaking out...so this time...maybe I'll be vague and actually show!

hello well this is actually very close to where i live so ill most likeely join you all! any rsvp required?

No RSVP required! Just show up and find the very loud English speaking group!

I`m going to be about an hour late. So please start drinking without me. No, no. I insist.

Well if you insist!

what around time does this roughly get started?

about 8

I'll be a bit late but I will of course be there!... but I've been up since 6am this morning which for me is an hour I didn't know existed except for on late nights at Hairy Mary's - so I hope you'll all keep me awake & entertained! Cya later!

Ok, so I was more like 3 hours late... But I still made it! if not mentally, at least physically...

So I didn't personally pass on the baton.. Was there any discussion on who's choosing next weeks venue? It basically goes that the first person to name a bar and its location gets to choose.

Seriously no one knows of any pub in Berlin that they'd like to share with us? Will take a look around myself tonight, but it would be lovely if someone could take hold of the baton for this week...

Then I shall require you all to join me in Xberg... Hannibal Bar. I have reserved an area for 15-20 people from 20:00.

Adress

Hannibal
Wiener Straße 69
10999 Berlin-Kreuzberg

Subway Station: Görlitzer Bahnhof
Subway No: U1
Bus M29

sounds fantastic. See you all thursday!

Last time I went to Kreuzberg on a Thursday night, I stayed til the wee hours and got home using a bastard combination of bus, tram, and taxi. So, count me in.

(But Jen, there's no proper bourbon there. Shall I bring a bit of my own?)

Nate, I think you know the answer to that one. And now I have to show up! Way to step up to the plate, Gooner Gal. See everyone there.

I don't do that part of Kreuzberg :S

Gorlitzer Banhof is not hard to get to and if everyone just remembers to check the time for their last trains home, it should be no problem at all. So expect to see everyone there, plus any newbies to Toytown thursday nights.

mumsy's and aunt(sie's[?]) last night in berlin on thursday. i'm afraid i'll be partying with them. weekends are always good though, HINT.

Is there any part of Kreuzberg you do do?

well i will show up to this one as its so close to my house it would be rude not to
as i dont do princelovieburg
so any other local people on here?

If you lot ever do the west I'll come and join you!

ok...I know FOR SURE...that I can't make it this week...
sorry I keep flaking...I always fall asleep...!

Plus it's not that far a walk to Kotbusser Tor, whence you can take the N8 bus to Hackescher Markt.

You could have suggested something this week in Charlottenburg. It was wide open to suggestions. I just jumped in as no one else did...how about you suggesting somewhere for next week?

That's a kind offer but I'll pass for a couple of weeks, I will join though when I'm not as skint and busy, definitely!

hi guys - I've wanted to join the thursday group for a while now - esp after doing a few crafty treffs and meeting cool TT people. If next thursday eve is warm, enough can we do the schleusenkrug biergarten? It's in the tiergarten and really super duper in my humble opinion...
www.schleusenkrug.de

Might be a bit tricky as we tend to meet at 20:00 and the place closes at 18:00!!!

hmmmm...I have sat there well into the night I will confirm and post again!

ok, I just called the place.
"summer hours" start on 1st of April and then the biergarten closes at 1am.
If the weather is bad next Thursday there is also indoor seating...

The website now also says open until 01:00.

Sooo..

Is it safe to say that we meet next week at The Schleusenkrug?
www.schleusenkrug.de

The Schleusenkrug is a 10 minute walk from the SBahn Zoo station. Upon exiting the station make a left heading into the Tiergarden.
About 150 meters down you'll see the beergarden with a bunch of bike racks+bikes outside.

where the name comes from...
"Schleuse" means "lock" (a devise for lowering or raising boats) and the beergarden is located right near the canal's lock.

ok, maybe 100...?
I was a little distracted!
A 5 to 10 minute walk TOPS

Isn't it actually closer to the Tiergarten S-Bahn station?

I think I may have had a beer and a snack there on the way to Love Parade last year.

I've posted those annoying photos I kept snapping the other night:

good work detective JTW.

looks like Sbahn Tiergarten is slightly closer.

here is a MAP to the Schleusenkrug...

Looking at your pictures made me realize how long it's been since I attended one of those meetings! GAH! Once my choir stress is over and my family visitors are gone, I will DEFINITELY stop by again!

So thanks to a team effort we're taking Thursday night drinks outdoors this week!

Just thought I'd start a new thread to make it easier to see...


Thanks sunny

looks like it's going to be a bit nippy this thursday. is there a plan b? public holiday on friday so i'll definitely try to make it.

possible plan b: we could go to a very german place underneath the s-bahn station at bellevue (i think). dont know what it's called, but it's ok (for the west). i'll try to bit more vague next time. god forbid people understand what i say.

The Schleusenkrug has indoor seating. I just made us a reservation for inside at 20uhr under "wolf".
I'll be there a little before 8 and will have paddington bear on the table for identification. If the weather is on our side we can move to the beergarden. end transmission.

fair nuff

and here I was starting to look forward to randomly wandering around an S-bahn station for some "german bar" and probably ending up drinking a couple beers on the station platform/steps...

is that Brewbaker?...i thought somebody told me that place was under the bellevue station, but maybe i'm wrong.

Afraid I am not going to be able to make it this time, kids. A bevy of out-of-towners to prepare for this weekend. Have fun and see you next week.
