Beer and picnic @ Chinese Tower beer garden

Seeing as how Friday is a holiday and the weather is supposed to pick up, let's meet up at the Chinesischer Turm for a few Maß, Brezn and a picnic - pot luck style, bring enough to feed yourself and a couple others. I volunteer garlic butter and potato salad!
PM me for my cell phone number so you can find TT at the Turm.
How to get there:
MVG: Bus 54 + 154 stop Chinesischer Turm (in the middle of the Garden, you can't miss it), streetcar 17 Tivolistrasse (you should see the entrance to the garden from the stop), U-Bahn 3/6 Giselastrasse (follow the crowd)

Sounds a great idea.

Hmm that sounds like an idea, especially as I've just seen this:

Hmmm does 2pm give me enough recovery time from the Escobar on thurs night ?

Yeah, probably

I am in as well, just where is Chinesischer Turm ?

I could be in, mal sehen.

I could be persuaded to pop in for a swift half.

please come lassboy, I haven't seen you in ages.


Is that enough? If not I'll ask more later, but I'm off to the bookshop... anyone want some 2005 New Yorkers, I have to get rid of them Saturday as we've read them all. But I could bring them to the beergarden Friday instead.

Sounds a good idea. Can't confirm right now but I hope I can make it.

See here. Chinese Tower.

PM me for my cell phone number, not to sign up! Thanks.

You have herewith been persuaded.

I am heading out to Otterfing for brunch, so, I will, what time I get back.

count me in! well, not really since i'm not in Munich, but i REALLY wish i could join you! i'll be sitting at work-blah! and it's crap weather here too. so, i'm there in spirit. have Brezn and Beer for me please!

plenty!


i most certainly have

My visitor for the weekend arrives just after 2pm, so this could be a good start to Munich for him

Sounds like an excellent plan. See you there.



It's like an automated response, lad. "Can't say for definite" or "I'll probably be late if I can make it at all". Yea or nah or say nowt, tis easier that way.

Well, I'm guilty of it too sometimes. It bumps threads and shows support... not that this one needs it! Can be a good thing though.

Yea?

For the one who wants to move their booty after the picnic, you can join for a volleyball game !

Volleyball game during the Easter break

Ok, now that we have a crowd and a half, let's organize food. As I said, I will bring garlic butter and potato salad. And I am sure I have tons of paper plates and plastic forks and knives somewhere so that's taken care of. Anyone else bringing goodies?

What can a no cooking, must go to a shop and buy something to bring to said event lass like myself bring?

cheese?

I'll bring some sandwiches

Obatzda, cold cuts, cheese (thanks, moni).

I'll bring some Ham/Cheese Semmels and maybe some Tzatziki and sliced up paprika, only shop bought though! I may have some paper plates and plastic knives and forks, I'll have a look at home this evening.

I've got some tortilla chips and pringles plus dips.

I can also bring a french stick if the bakeries are open tomorrow morning.

if i show up, I will contribute something, not sure yet, but will have to see... maybe chocolate.

i am confused now with being it good friday. we can buy drinks and brezn at the beergarden?

Are you allowed to eat your own food at the beergarden, or are you eating in the park first ?

Could bring an Easter Egg

MMMMMMMmmm, was just at the Tower for lunch. The chicken wings were excellent!

@ Beer-monster: no you cannot slag off your old eggs on us by dyeing them and saying Happy Easter!

Yes you can eat your own food, just not your own drinks, this is the case for all Munich Beergardens.

I'm sure they were, but you bought them there. Can you bring your own food and eat it at the beergarden?

yes. food only.

Thats good. May just have a liquid lunch of just beer anyway

People are freaking me out by saying that the beer-gardens will be closed tomorrow in addition to the no dancing-singing crap. I don't remember this being the case, but it's not always beer-garden weather in April, so I may have just failed to notice? I asked my (German) colleague, but he's a smart-ass and would only chide me for my lack of an appropriately somber mood on the day Jesus was crucified.

Beer-gardens will be open, no dancing though Dunno why it's called good friday though if everyone has to be miserable.

You should of said you wanted to toast his memory, that's going to be my excuse!

I'll bring some Semmeln and things to put on/in them.

I'm in!

Gotta go if Fran's going . . .

you slut BD

Am I the only person who hates the chinese tower with a passion? It's the most over-priced crap beer garden in the region...

So, um...I guess what I'm trying to say is...I'm not going...*cough*

Probably not, otherwise it would even be busier than it is on a regular sunny day...


I think the Seehaus not even a mile away is more expensive...

So its just the price that puts you off? It really is not a BAD beergarden. A bit tarmacky in the middle. But at the fringes its quite normal. And it attracts some quite interesting people.
It is open when other beergardens did not get organised in time. It has a kids play area. Although that has a back exit (to let toddlers out!) And the pfand (deposit) is a bit stupid. But you can still have a great time there.

Incidentally, whichever beergarden is your favourite, you will always find someone on Toytown that HATES it!

Me? I hate them all. But I will still TEST them regularly to see if they are improving!

i'm out, stuck working.

have fun kids

Hmmm,. Will I? Should I?

We're planning a spontaneous game of Ultimate Frisbee in the English Gardens near the Chinese Tower at 2pm if anyone fancies joining in before heading to the beer garden.

Will probably stick my head in for half an hour.. but wont be stopping long.

Garlic butter and potato salad up to usual standard. Gratuitous creamed cheese with horseradish and spring onions thrown in. Lots of knives, forks and plates plus normal mustard and hot mustard.
