TT Tuesday drinks - discussion archive

madame roots and I were gonna go for a walk to EG anyway so we might stop by to say hello.

that'll be a first! Roots turning up to a TT event with his wife!

What the hell are you talking about? She had been to many.

AS I sit in my office drinking a beer, I toast poots! Get well soon buddy, we love you! good idea Canuk.

I'll see you kids at Murphy's for some Karoke.

Roots did turn up with his lovely wife, as he has done on many an occasion.
Canuck did dedicate his beer to Pootle.
Many people were there as I left, but 2 hours and 2 Maß is enough when I have to get up at 6am.

The first beer garden TTT of the season that I could have made and I had to go to the dentist instead. AND they will almost certainly have the cheek to charge me for the pleasure
A beer will be raised in dedication to Poots tomorrow, good idea Canuck.

OG You just haven't been watching the right space me old son.

With weather like this its nearly a crime not to go out of doors to a biergarten. My vote goes for the Chinese Turm again.

Oh! I can go this time!! It's really embarassing to admit this in Munich, but I have not been to a beergarden yet this summer!

I would like to suggest the Augustiner for a change.

May I suggest the Hofbräukeller in Haidhausen just off Max-Weber-Platz? It is a Biergarten come bar (run by Barfly, a place in Lehel). Great atmosphere, trees, benches, bring your own food or buy it there, on streetcar line 18 with U4 and U5 at Max-Weber-Platz.

and those who prefer cocktails can get drinks at Sausalitos.

Ooh, could be tempting if it's gonna be at the Hofbräukeller - it's on the way home and the cocktails are great and cheap (EUR 3.50 for normal size and EUR 5 for jumbo - happy hour is 5-8p.m.). I'm not a beer fan so it's perfect - you can take the drinks over to the beer benches too.

I can go this time and my vote would be for anything outside! (if the weather looks like its going to hold until tomorrow night)

Sausalitos is a great place, and you can sit outside. Cocktails are perfect (huge_ and also the food is pretty good. Suggest going there

Some clarification might be in order. Which Sausalitos is being referred to here?

1. The one on Türkenstr which has the garden out back.
2. The one in Tal which is long, narrow and always cramped.
3. The place in the Höfbrau beer garden which doesn't serve food (I think).

Also, there have been about 4 suggestions of beer garden to attend. Probably best to just pick one, set a time and stick with it. Otherwise it tends to descend into endless discussion and confusion.

Well seeing as the beer garden in question is the Hofbraukeller, logic would dictate that I was referring to the Sausalitos in (beside) the Hofbraukeller beer garden.

My apologies for the confusion.

Further, you are correct they do not serve food in the Sausalitos part of the beer garden.

to me it looks like its between the Hofbräukeller and Sausalitos...I could do either so someone else has to decide...

If we sit close to the border between the two we can have the best of both worlds and won't have to decide between the two.

Now that I've threadjacked I guess I had better come. See you there.

Ok...Im going to plan on doing the beer garden (Hofbräukeller) tomorrow and I will be there around 8 or so. (but Ill keep checking for changes )

@Silva
You don't have to worry about being in the middle - if you read my post you can see you are able to take the drinks over to the beergarden area. So, food, beer or cocktails you can all sit together!

It is true - no food from the Sausalitos part.

TTers, with the Hofbräukeller a rather large beergarden with tons of tables, where are we meeting up this evening? (if it's crowded we may not have much choice anyway, but I just thought I'd bring it up

I'm quite new to Munich and would love to join all of you for a drink. I'll be on the lookout for a big group of ex-pats...

Yeah, was wondering myself how we'll meet up - so many newbies/people I don't know! What about somewhere in the first row of beer benches after the "gedeckte Tische"?? Then we're not too far away from the Sausalitos part,

What time is everyone going? Doubt most people will be as early as the 6.23p.m. quoted but I could make it that early - anyone else?

I won't make it quite that early but the location sounds fine to me.

Am very new to Munich. So it would be great if I could have the exact address of the place. Will be there by around 7PM

info/address

it's wicked big though. is someone bringing the flower/guitar/something so others can locate?

[can't go and no, haven't read previous posts]

Trying to think of something I could bring along that will be spot-able in a big crowded Biergarten...
How about I bring my (battery-driven) camping lantern? It's not big, but how many other tables will have a lit camping lantern on them?

Where do you guys normally meet there? How do we fimd each other?

Kat will have a lamp on the table.

I have a big umbrella with pictures of Munich on it in my cupboard at work - would that be better to spot than Kat's lamp?

I should get there at 18.30. If anyone wants my handy number PM me before 18.00!

Madgibson just asked me to post this:

They hava a table 3 rows behind a large 'Stammtisch' sign (I guess that's behind the service section). Kat's also got her lamp on the table.

Thanks @Keydeck, I didn't read what others posted as I read it on my Pocket PC and the screen is too small and was too tedious! :}

@Kat, you left your camping lamp... instead of stealing it in typical English drunken style I took it home and looked after it for you... PM me to arrange to collect it...

HL

Had a great time everyone! Glad to meet so many new people! Excellent night for a beer garden

Darn, sounds like I missed a great night out. Being new to Munich (and hating it for many reasons) I decided to empty a few bottles at 'home' instead. Will make every effort to join you lot next Tuesday though. Someone just make sure I manage to get to work the next morning please.

Yeah, was great weather for the beer garden and we had a big turnout.

@Kat
Oops, we should have taken the lamp back on our table after all - at least it's in good hands though

Ugh that was fun but I feel well ropey this morning. Probably due to not going directly home after the beer garden, not passing Go and most certainly not collecting 200 quid. We were in the service area with the grumpy arsed waitress. We even picked up a couple of stragglers at about 10 who'd been there since about 7 or so and not found the group. Carly (I think) and a bloke who's name escapes me but who loves football. Good evening and as usual a pleasure to meet everyone (or at least everyone I got a chance to speak to).

Hey guys. Had a great time yesterday. Was a pleasure to meet all of you. Hopefulliy will be easier to spot you guys next time around.

was another good nite out with the TT gang, dunno how you do it Keydeck me just "walked" into office
was good to meet newbies
till next time.

Anyone know Alejandro's TT handle? This is Alejandro from Boston, who was at Tuesday's drinks for the first time this week.

I wanna send him a PM about German classes.

Thanks,
Paddie

hey everyone, i just moved to munich and i dont know anybody, looks like there is some people to meet here ... when how where who, i'm bored out of my mind, i hope to find something to do soon!! thanks ciao

Suggestion for Tuesday drinks: Cafe Blue.
I know we went recently but it's my last chance to go there before I fly off to Blighty on Thursday. Takers?

ahhh I will try to go if I know that your going...its your last TT drinks
anywhere is good with me and Cafe Blue is fairly close so

So, where is this being held tomorrow night?

KFC ?

Suggestion is for Cafe Blue.

Its Treehuggers & judders last TT tuesday before they head off back to blighty.

I think its a good choice. Service is good there and the waitress was well on the ball last time, surprisingly there were no drinks left on the bill at the end of the night.

I'd definitely vote for Cafe Blue as well - enjoyed it a couple of weeks ago, and as weather is looking nasty I think we're best advised to avoid anything outdoorsy.

hey guys,
did cafe blue win or what ... ?
+ i ve never been to one of these meetings ... how do i recognize the TT people ... and do i just show up there?

Café Blue sounds good to me...if I can make it out.

3 Loins, I suggest you make a reservation for that section with the raised tables. It's perfect for a group. Previously I've just reserved for about 10-15 people and then just called them back if it looks like there'll be more.
