After the success of the posting on Griesheim in bringing a group of English speakers together, I was wondering if there are any Bad Homburg residents out there?

I live in Bad Homburg but spend pretty much all of my waking time in Frankfurt. Would be good to shift to exploring some more "local" places!

When I lived there a group of us used to hang out at Null Zwo, Kurt and his wife were nice people and we used to have some good late sessions where he would pull out the guitar. No idea if there would be still English speakers hanging out there but it was a good spot!
CarolineH
Wow this place looks great, thanks Jester, I had never even heard of it...*blush*.

Just need some people to come along with me now...! smile.gif

My wife, kids and I have lived in Bad Homburg for six years. I'm American, she's German.

We've managed to assemble an eclectic group of English-speaking neighborhood expatriate acquaintances, and we go out locally for drinks and/or dinner occasionally.

Only potential downside is that we're all c. 10 years older than you appear to be, so we might all be way too boring for words :-(

I live in Friedrichsdorf - just down the road - so count me in.

I work in Bad homburg, so you can count me in for after work drinks anytime.
nad
I live in Bad Homburg and work here as well. I know a few nice places here though I also spend most of my time in Frankfurt. Let me know if you'd like to meet up for coffee :)

Add me, I have moved to BH last month from Frankfurt. So it seems that we have half a dozen people already. It'd be nice to make a date. I live not too far from the castle park, but i suppose everyone else does, except perhaps Friedrichsdorf.

nad
Sounds great. Looking forward to meeting the neighbours :)

How about meeting in the evening on Sunday 15 June?

I am keen to try out Jester's suggestion of Null Zwo (http://www.nullzwo.com/) which according to its website opens at 8pm.

Who would be interested and able to come?

Hi- I would generally be interested in a Bad Homburg meetup but Sunday nights are not ususally good for me. Any chance on moving this to a Friday night?
CarolineH
Fridays arent good for me in the near future but if this event works out and we organise a second one (or if nobody can make the Sunday), will definitely try for a Friday at a later time.

Hi, count me in as well. Great, looking forward to meeting up.

I can't make it on the 15th as I'm out of town. Will definitely like to be there for the following one.
ChantelleD
Hi all,

I am British and also live in Bad Homburg. I would love to meet up. When is the next meet?

Best regards
Chantelle
CarolineH
Hi Chantelle!
The plan is to meet up this Sunday (15 June) probably at Null Zwo (http://www.nullzwo.com/).
I will check with them that they are open on Sunday evenings and post a confirmation!
Looking forward to meeting everyone!
Caroline

We live in Oberursel about an S-Bahn stop away. I'll see if I can interest the better half into coming along.
CarolineH
I checked out Null Zwo and despite their website saying they are open "daily" from 20:00, they are in fact closed on Sundays.

Will have a think and post a meeting place today or tomorrow...

Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Welcome to Germany wink.gif
CarolineH
How about Pepper's: Louisenstrasse 53-57 (am Waisenhausplatz) 61348 Bad Homburg Tel. 06172-682800

I checked that they are open on Sundays, so how about meeting there at 7.30pm?

It's probably easiest if I reserve a table for us under the name "Caroline" rather than trying to explain how to recognise me.

So, who's in? Let me know so I can reserve us a suitably sized table.

Cheers

Caroline
Kuzzer
Thanks for organising all this, Caroline.

Me +1 on the night.

Looking forward to meeting you then.

Just thinking (a bit dangerous that), maybe we should ask the management here if they could add a Hoch Taunus or something to the member location. A lot of us aren't really Frankfurt.
CarolineH
That's a sterling idea...
CarolineH
My boyfriend and I waited at Pepper's for an hour but nobody showed...
Kuzzer
I was indeed one of the no-shoze on Sunday night sad.gif

We're having another go this Wednesday evening - 8.00pm @ Null Zwo . . . so far Caroline+1 and Me+1 - all, of course, welcome.

Natalie86
That sounds great been looking for ppl to go for a drink with for a few months so if i can get time off will definately be there! How old is everyone who will be joining the meet?
Editor Bob
Everyone who joined the meet was two and a half weeks younger then than they are now. wink.gif
Expaticus
I have time off this week, so would love to see another attempt at a meet-up in Bad Homburg so I can bike home smile.gif

Od-Odal or the Wasserweibschen are fun. If there are enough people, one can get a cut little private room at the latter.
Natalie86
Ha Ha yes i know i thought it was for 18th July! durrr! x
nad
Od-Odal and the Wasserweibschen are both really good. I'm in for the next meeting!

(was on a trip for the last 2)
Expaticus
I'll take the bull by the horns here.

How about Od-Odal at 19:00 on Tuesday?

We should sit outside. We'll just show up and pull tables together as we see fit.

Expaticus.
nad.
Natalie86?
Natalie86

Disappointingly old and married with kids. But therefore a non-threatening and (so I'm told) delightful racounteur. I'm on the second "staycation" leg of two weeks off, and am already a bit tired of grilling, and fully intend to follow up with a Frankfurt curry night as well.

I am now off to feed the ponies, flip the burgers and watch Top Gear with my son and daughter ... if that doesn't completely scare you off smile.gif
nad
I have plans for Tuesday. Is Thursday ok? We can also all go to the curry night on Wednesday and just decide then when to meet next.
Expaticus
I don't want this to turn into just Natalie86 and me, so okay, let's change it to Thursday 10 July 19:00 Od-Odal Bad Homburg.

nad
Thanks!!! See you all then smile.gif
Silly Point
I should be able to make Thursday too.
Natalie86
Hello,
Thursday also sounds good did look like it wuld just be the two of us Expaticus! unsure.gif maybe we can get some more people interested?
Expaticus
So far I have nad, Sillypoint, you and me. I sent a PM to CarolineH. I may bring my son along if we need more headcount smile.gif
Natalie86
Ok great!
ummmm... so how old is your son? lol wink.gif
Expaticus
He's a well-behaved 10. I'm not that old wink.gif

It's 50-50 I'll bring him, as it appears we have critical adult mass smile.gif
