TT Tuesday drinks - discussion archive

Just in case anyone's interested, there's going to be a band on tonight doing an accoustic set (so you should still be able to chat). It'll be a mix of rock, reggae and African music.

They're starting at around 9pm

Woohoo, I decided to make tonight my first TT tuesday too, (apart from the Oktoberfest special edition TT Tuesdays). Free beer and the band sounds like the icing on the cake! I will get there around 7:45 though so probably miss out on the free beer.

Well, I just had my first German lesson, and I think I need a beer to soften the confusion... what time will anyone else be getting there, and where do people generally sit? I found the gang at the well last week -- will there be any of the same faces tonight?

O.K. 7 people (ish) thats enough for me. I will probably end up there about 6:30

ok... well you can see my uber-cheesy photo on my profile. Look for someone a few years older, fatter and slighty more dishevelled than that and pretty tall... I hope I'll be there in time for the free beer!

@benpanter - Are you aware that it is not GM's this week but the The Arc!
You will have no problem finding TT'ers there!

Something's come up. Fraid I can't make it tonight afterall. Sorry. Have fun.

Personal record. First free beer from a TT tuesday gathering. C U there circa 7pm.

can't make it!

would love to come but the hobble from the U-Bahn is simply too far for me.

the Tram #21 i think goes pretty close to the Arc.

Please- for the record- Pablo has no clue, sorry dude. If you take the Tram 21 you end up at a cemetery or the Bondi. Take the tram 27 to Schellingstr.

well I was right about the tram bit [img]http://www.novell.com/documentation/gw65/gw65_userwin/graphics/emot_embarrassed.gif[/img]

Again a lovely night in the Arc! So many new people, welcome to TT
The Band was good and really added to the atmosphere, which was good anyway.

Yeah band was cool, heaps of Bob Marley covers which was nice. Get them back again Hazza. Shame I had to leave so early.

It was a fun evening with a few too many beers for me. Nice to have met everyone.

Simon.

What about the Nippler bar for TT? I have always had a great time there and find it to be a very cozy place to meet

can u set the dates for Murphys and the arc and put it in the calendar?

Ooh. I'd like to check this place out if for no other reason that its close proximity to my abode.

What aboot Outland in Haidhausen for this Tuesdays meetup? Just a suggestion...

Outland great idea. Lovely Haidhausen. ..
T

Outland sounds good !

I like the outland too.

I could do Nippler. It's close to my gym. Only wish they would change their cringe inspiring name. I could never tell someone in public that I am "off to Nippler".

S.

Do Outland serve Helles? Last time I was there I am sure it was only Fosters?

True, I think you're right

Yep. They've got Späten Helles for 2.80€. I know from experience and their website also says the same:

Outland

Hey so where is it tonight? I was thinking about coming in, I think we should decide on a place soon.

So outland it is then?

Nice food too...
T

I guess the consensus is for the Outland then tonight...??

@Tartan: You mean the Bush Burger with Razorbacks...MMMmm

After going to a TT event every day last week I am taking this week off (well until friday night anyway)

See ya there then. Well it is only 20m from my flat...
T

I'm a newbie. What time do these things usually kick off?

Myself and Petal will be making our way there around 7:30

me too 'an all!

Just one beer. Just one beer. Just one beer. Honest.

Outland is here...in Weißenburgerplatz. 2min walk from SBahn:

See you all there. They do a really large portion of chips from what I gathered.

Had a nice time with the TT´rs at Outland´s last night, The food was great, prices good. Service was good also. But why was the tabasco diluted with Branntweinessig? Is it to tone it down? Save bucks? What´s with that?

take care,

Vinegar is a normal ingredient of tabasco sauce.

I doubt Outland put extra in.
I just had an idea though. Perhaps the german version of it has more vinegar, less hot peppers for the german taste? I know most domestic brands of sauce that have "hot" or "feurig sharf!!" on the label are an absolute joke.

no it bloody wasn't! they refused to bring a crippled guy a beer to his table. Instead he had to send his manservant Jeeves to go get them.

Yeah that was a shocker! It wasnt as if they were particularly busy. What was her excuse? I was about to say that was my first example of terrible german service that everyone keeps mentioning, but it wasnt a german bar and I dont think the waitress was german either was she?

I'm not sure if she was german...but she was pretty good looking. That's all I noticed.

Nice evening people, thanks. I thought the service was OK - but then I did have space as my personal waiter!

FYI - The outland has never had table service.

Maybe they don't have table service for drinks but OW was stuck behind the table with crutches and it seemed like a reasonable request to me. Not that I minded doing the fetching of course.

Methinks the waitress was German (deduced from listening to her talk German whilst I was sitting at the bar waiting for the someone else to turn up).

Wish I'd gone for the food though, it looked good and I was starving this morning.

@ Owain Glyndwr, The service I meant that was good, was from the TTr´s themselves, Jeeves the "table shifter" rocked!

@ Kza, Tabasco that soaks into the bread and leaves a pink stain that tastes like wine vinegar with Tabasco hints aint Tabasco it should not be in a bottle that is labeled as Tabasco. Tabasco is always the same no matter the country. It´s wrong I tellya! , BTW, I am an expert. and amazingly Moko is also and she will back me up on this.

@ mothbola, Table service for drinks or food? She was passin out burgers tableside like a mean sexy machine designed for the task. He was on crutches FCS (though one could not see it if he was sitting on them), She actually stated that if she brought him one then we would all want the same. She was out of touch. I don´t think any of us would break a leg just to get tableside service even if was for Bier.

@ Moko, back me up please, Next is on me.

@ Outland, I thank ya for the nice evening, great food, but don´t mess with the Tabasco, I sit here with a 20+ bottles of a variety of hot sauces from around the world. and this verges on criminal to the pepper sauce connoisseur. I like your food and will bring my own hotsauce next time or even better i can intro you to the dynamic, tasty world of Hot sauces (connoisseurship), I do have reputable references on this at your (or anybody´s) request. Compliments with criticisms alway suck. I hate when that happens (especially to me).

Take care all,

Wasnt saying you are wrong about the tabasco Space, If outland poured extra vinegar into it that is indeed sacrilige, and could perhaps even be illegal (food labelling laws etc). We should investigate. (Drifting slightly off topic. Just bought a bottle of Kimball Hot Sauce, made in Saudi Arabia yesterday, I like it. Rather similar to tabasco, and costs only 95c for a 88ml bottle. Perhaps if Outland are tampering with their tabasco to save money, we could suggest them something cheaper)

My favourite hot sauce is from Tabasco but is not just ordinary Tabasco.

TABASCO HABANERO SAUCE

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm but

Having it with your breakfast, are you Kza? Having trouble picturing you cooking up a hot breakfast on a Thursday. Perhaps you just spread it over bread.

It was a hot Wednesday dinner (chicken and rice, bought the chicken from the kiosk over the road, but cooked the rice all by myself!) , now its a cold Thursday breakfast. And yes, I am having it with that sauce. Yummmm
