Drinks meet up in Kaiserslautern

I was just wondering if there is anyone in the Kaiserslaughtern-Darmstadt area that would like to meet up for drinks..and does anyone know of a good place to go?
I am new to the area and would love to meet some Yanks or any other English speaking folks for a friendly chat and a brew!

I moved here to Kaiserslautern from Sweden two weeks ago. Don't know much german yet and I'd love to meet some new people since I don't know anyone here. I'm up for some drinks or beers! =)

Wow! A response!
I here I was thinking that I was the last of my kind in this area..(the english speaking kind that is..lol)
I have yet to find a club/bar/pub that looks like a good spot...but I suppose I'd have to leave the house for that. Are you a "desparate housfrau" too?
My husband and I moved here for his work, we have been here since August. Jobs are scarce, but my house is verrrry clean..lol. I am actually learning how to ugh...cook.
take care, talk to you soon!

At approx. 100 km distance between the two, I would hardly consider Darmstadt and Kaiserslautern as being in the same "area"

I hear English-speaking people everwhere... it's like.. unreal..
Anyway, I moved to Germany because I have a German boyfriend. He lives a bit further away tho so we only meet in the weekends. I'm working here in K-town, in the computer software industry. Tend to stay late at the office, so my tiny apartment is not so clean, and there is definitely not being any cooking done =D
What kind of jobs are you looking for?

Cheers!

@martina lol..yes I know. But I used to live in Seeheim-Jugenheim and I am very familiar with Darmstadt. I am quite fond of the place and have no problem making the drive!

I was thinking of going to the weihnachts market around the weekend of the 15th in Kaiserslaughtern. I must have my designated driver (husband) with me because I always collect a few gluhwein cups.

As for work...I have gobs of office and banking experience from back in the states and left a very good job to come here. Sadly I speak just a bit of german..(well enough to say "ich sprechen ein bissen deutsch") ((I don't spell it very well either!))
So that's the story...the things we do for love!

Howdy all !

There is another thread similar to this one, but for Darmstadt/Griesheim. So far, we're working on something at the Darmstadter Brewery (since it's right next to the main train station). I'm not sure if it will work out or not, but here's the link if you want to take a look: English-speakers in Griesheim (near Darmstadt)

Hey all,

So I live in Kaiserslautern, but I usually attend the the Mannheim or Heidelberg meetups... I haven´t yet found anyone doing anything similar here (in K-town... that is... ) If there´s some interest to put together a weekly meetup or drinks night or some such, let me know. Perhaps then we can actually put up a Rheinland-Pfalz section in TT instead of being relegated to the "elsewhere" section... Cheers.

Hey there,

We live in Trier. Where is Kaiserlautern in relation to Trier? Love to meet a few people for a chat.

Hey Turasteanga,

Trier is about an hour north-west of Kaiserslautern, if you drive... I think it takes much longer by train since you will almost always have a connection at Saarbrücken. Let me know if you´re planning to come out here... maybe we can find a few more people in the area to join up for drinks or conversation or something like that. Cheers.

Cool! That sounds like a plan! We drive. Well the other half does, I'm still trying to overcome driving on the right side of the road! But an hour from Trier would certainly be good practice for me and it would nice to meet a few new people

I'll be in touch! And that's not a threat, that's a promise!

Cool! Keep me posted, I'll watch out for this thread then, and maybe a few others who've posted on here will too See ya!

I'll put my two cents in on this one as I'm moving to Griesheim to work in Darmstadt end of the month. Hope to speak to you all again about this soon.

Hi guys!

As I live 30 min from Kaiserslautern and used to live in Darmstadt (Seeheim-Jugenheim to be exact!) I am always going to either. (Or Mannheim..or Heidelberg...Or Frankfurt for meet-ups!!!)

We like to visit the "big cities" to get out of our little village on the edge of nowhere!

Just a little FYI: Darmstadt is about an hour away from Kaiserslautern, Trier is about an hour from Kaiserslautern in the opposite direction. So if you are like us and like to drive or take a train trip we can always meet!

I don't know too much about Kaiserslautern, restaurants..bars...etc. So if someone else knows a good spot let me know!

Darmstadt has a couple of good dance clubs..Nachtcafe and there is a new one that we have been wanting to try out.

Cheers!!

Well, I don't have a car, so I take the train everywhere but anyway, I'm always up for meeting up in Kaiserslautern, or during the week, at any place that doesn't need me to take a connection.

So, Mannheim, HD is okay during the week. Saarbruecken, Darmstadt, Frankfurt, Mainz, Stuttgart, Karlsruhe, etc. only on the weekends. But I expect all these places aren't close to Trier except Saarbruecken...

Kaiserslautern is pretty small compared to the big cities, but nice enough for an occasional meet-up. There're a couple of spots for salsa dancing that I know of and a few dance-clubs but I've not been to those, yet.

So let's all keep each other posted and maybe we'll have a meet up... Wot say?
