TT Tuesday drinks - discussion archive

I'd definitely be up for the Hofbrauekeller.

Cocktails are optional, TBFB!!

Been out for a wander at lunchtime in sunny Ottobrunn and the weather is beautiful

I can feel my bum on a seat in the Hofbräukeller already 3 votes for that one up to now

Who's gonna decide ?

How bout another:

That Rain forest place (Spectacular) I think it was...

Not for me they aint

cant make it tonight anyway, busy week at work

Looks like its been decided, first post says Augustiner Keller

hmmm thread got closed and re opened

Where did my post go, supporting bluedave's suggestion of Hofbraeukeller?

TBFB even quoted it, and it's not on the thread anymore.

I really don't mind, Augustiner or Hofbraeu, but I'm worried about my poor post, wandering lonely and afraid in Cyberspace.

@cinzia
Its in the discussion archive dont worry it doesnt look too lonely in there with a couple of hundred other posts

Augustiner-Keller Arnulfstraße is a cool beergarden, plus, I haven't been there this year yet. Might be a problem to find people though - the place is huge.

i just heard thunder...

Me too. Or somebody dropped a load of corrugated iron off the roof they are currently renovating.

It will be sunny again!

So much for hope!

naaahhh it'll be fine, trust me

Let's finalize this. I vote for Augustiner Keller for the following reasons:

1) It's almost 14:30 and we don't have a spot.
2) It might rain it might shine -- AK gives us options for beergarden seating or indoor seating.
3) I've never been and I need a beer.

fine.
fine.
fine.

now where to find peeps cause it is huge? anyone got an inflatable woman or sheep?

Yes Elf, but that's for later on.

Usually if the weather is nice people locate in the general vicinity of the Steckerlfisch stall. If you are entering at the front of the beer garden that's over the far opposite side...near the rear entrance. It's a relatively easy place to find people and it's got closest access to beer, food and toilets.

Note: The beer garden is split into two areas, all tables near the front are a service area and so you are at the mercy of the staff. In the back area you look after yourself, if much more preferable option.

Can't comment on inside locations really as it's been a couple of years.

Mr Brain, why are you voting for Augustiner when the decision had already been made? Or were you just voicing approval rather than submitting a vote of some sort.

Didn't know it was already fixed... but now it looks like we have a plan!

sign up!

hey, i could be there at 6 p.m. sharp to score us some benches if outside is doable, then i gotta' skeedoodle cause I've got a "feel good" appointment @ 7.10.

Ok so Im confused now (yea i know it doesnt take much) where is TTT at (directions please)

I can make it for a couple of quick ones early doors and help bag some seats, but i have to be offski for around 8pm.

I can see how the name and link in the first post could be troublesome

Augustiner on Arnulfstr
Arnulfstr. 52
Tel. 089 594393

Easiest routes:
S-Bahn to Hackerbrücke and about a 2 minute walk.
Tram 16 or 17 and get off at Hopfenstrasse or Hackerbrücke .
Hauptbahnhof and a little under 10 minutes mosy up Arnulfstr.

When If it rains there's the indoors area and you'll need to come up with something creative for how to get everyone to meet up.

Having thought about it with my sensible head on ( for once), i'm prob just gonna go to my local beer garden for a couple early doors tonight and leave the boozin for footy tomoz, coz if i get in the Augustinerkeller ....

Fair play.

In my defence it wasnt there when this thread was 3 pages long before it got chopped by a mod.

But now i know which place you are talking about i will have to say im not going. I went there a couple of weeks back had a maß and one of those lumps of burnt pig thingys (with nothing else) and it cost me over 16€.

So na, think im gonna go meet bluedave and get my maß for 4.60€

Getting darker and grimmer over this way.

looks like its gonna piss it down in Ottobrunn

so what is the plan... weather really looks ... hmm not great here.

do we at least have a back up plan if it is raining?

Just as well part of the Radlwirt bier garten under cover then 4.60 a mass, warm and dry

UPDATE: is raining in Ottobrunn

Thought it was clear that if it's raining we go in the cellar of Augustiner-Keller, it's why the location was chosen.

Ok a small rant here but is anyone "in charge" of this Tuesday Drinks thing?

It seems to me it would be good if someone were so that they could organize it well in advance and more importantly work out a special with the place that is chosen. I would assume that anyone bringing a party of 25 or 30 people would be able to work something out.

I am not trying to be a smart ass here but just really wondering who is running this thing?

fletch

You go Fletch!

TTT tends to be much more free than Curry nights cos no bookings are req'd, can be decided up to last minute afaik

However, if you are volunteering a la Darknight on TTF ....

@ BlueDave

I do remember a time when it was scheduled out weeks in advance.

My question is did that person die or something?

Please, not a la Darknight.

@ Fletch I know what you mean, i think nobody sure what's happening yet, ie if beer gardens are open or not cos of uncertain weather etc

@ Keydeck My tongue was firmly in cheek on that one

@bluedave, would that be the Radlwirt on Balanstrasse, then?

I just think things have gone to rat shit over the last few weeks because TTT no longer has the regular meets at the Arc and GM's and making more than two decisions a month is a bit difficult.

No, that's not true as such. Here's a quick history...

TT Tuesday was always held in Günther Murphy's. Every Tuesday, same time same bat channel.
Then a period happened whereby it was at a different place every week. I organised a number of these.
The Arc came on the scene and it was decided to split it up between there, Murphy's and alternate locations. So every second week it would alternate between GMs & the Arc.

In Summer the preference is usually for a beergarden, but you are at the mercy of the weather. See: Out window.

Generally speaking if someone makes a suggestion which isn't completely dumb and sets it up then this becomes the location for that week. The problems arise through indecision and excessive faffing. You get 4 or 5 people suggesting their favourite location, but nobody willing to make a stand and say, "This is what's happening.". Either through not wishing to offend or through plain laziness you generally get nobody taking charge. I'm a big fan of benevolent dictatorships.

@ Cinzia, Yup on corner of Balanstr and St Cajetanstr. Not looking to create a Curry Wars situation here though

I hear that TT is currently searching for a full time "Tuesday Drinks Night" organiser. This person will be responsible for:
- checking out the locations
- making sure there are no private parties on the nights we choose
- sleeping with the owners of the establishments (I believe they call it "Getting into bed" with them or something)
- ensuring a variety of drinks specials are arranged for the between 10 and 30 people who may show up
- taking a roll call to ensure those that signed up are there
- ejecting any "latecomers" who did not sign up
- performing a review of each location based on a set of fixed criteria
- issuing warnings and banning orders to those who sign up and then fail to show without giving the obligatory 24 hours notice of cancellation

Should be up and running shortly...

But I do enjoy the discussions on where it is going to be held. Makes the day less boring

Ha. I'm currently planning on turning my desk into a boat if this weather keeps up.

@bluedave, would never accuse you of such devious behavior. Just gathering info for future.

I don't think anyone really wants to go to the Augustiner Keller if there's no chance of the beer garden though, am I right?

I understand about today... When the schedule is made in advance and it is an outside event and it is raining on that day then a post by the HNC (sorry if I offend) of the alternate locale is all that would be necessary.

My question is still does anyone know who used to plan these TTT things?

"Bueller... Bueller... Bueller... "

Read what I wrote Tuesday drinks at a local bar or beer garden in response to your question.

@ Keydeck

Sorry am in a meeting and they suddenly looked at me and wanted an answer...

Damn this German meeting thing sucks for not really paying attention to the subject at hand.

My reply was well after the whistle blew.

Thunder and lightning here at the other side of the Hackerbrücke from the Augustinerkeller. If you are going inside, it may be an idea to post it up here as the cellar is too deep for mobile reception.

Indeed. 95% of the meeting is totally irrelevant so how on earth anyone can expect normal people to actually pay attention is beyond me. The Germans love their meetings

Looks like some going to Augustinerkeller from that side of town and some going to Radlwirt fom Ostbahnhof side, whichever way the beer will be colder and wetter than the rain

Let's hope next week weather is clear and we can just pick one or do we decide now so no faffing about next week ?

Please I know that someone wants to be the TT T HNC

Right so, am going to Kilians tonight. Will be there from 7:30/8:00 or thereabouts. Fancy a couple of bottles of Augie and a meat-feast pizza. Obviously as with anywhere else, anyone is welcome to come on down and join in for a few.

Kilian's Irish Pub
Frauenplatz 11
(directly at the back of the Frauenkirche near Marienplatz)
