Maybe a stupid question but the last entry on their blog is from Nov 1st and all I can find here is that the dry run was cancelled last week.
Are they open now ?

The Twisted Bavarian - Latest updates
Nov. 17 2004: pre-opening thing 11:30 am
Hey Marka!
We found a Monster in our basement. A pump we named Seymour must be replaced, we found a leak in the back bar, ice machine is kaput AND a leaky dishwasher in the back kitchen must be reprimanded and repaired. It's best to get all this fixed now while it's covered by our contract. It is my hope, we can host a private breakfast for our neighbors to apologize for the loud music when staff party went on too long and too loud. We will launch our menu by ballot program on a Monday. 8 weeks after our opening we'll be hosting the a party to announce the winners of the election which made it on the menu. the general public will be selecting our core menu based upon popular votes. fun, never been done before, stressful, exciting.
Graham has not been on the blog as of late as he's been working closely with staff. We set up our service tray obstacle course on Friday. The cast and crew will be racing for prizes while cleaning the floors with their spills (we practice with water, drink beer afterwards).
We're still here, just not open for business yet.

@TTornado what happened in the end, and what licence do you have? Thinking christmas party, is there a problem with noise and times?
We do not have a live music license and have no intentions of obtaining one.
The Library (back room) would be nice to have acoustical guitar, but we are a restaurant not a live music venue so we'll never have jam sessions so to speak.

I didn't mean live... you had trouble because of the noise from the stereo, right? is it a problem for the xmas party?
@TexasTornado
THANK GOD! I cannot overstress how annoying it is that every bar has to have live music. It's bad enough having to put up with crappy canned music, but some local band caterwauling over amps turned to 11 in a closet-sized bar is unbearable.
Please, good food and a place for relative grown-ups to talk at a reasonable volume while drinking themselves stupid is a blessing. If you promise never to have live music, I promise to eat a shitload of burritos there.

do NOT go to Crapolitos on Tal, or any of their other locations. There is no Tex Mex to be had there.
But if you are 20 and want to pick up, you might do okay.

There is almost no live music in Munich anyway, so I don't know what you are complaining about.
JoolyBooly & IceBergSlim - Pao sent me a message yesterday with some great background sound ideas to fit the vibe of our place. I am open and receptive.
Tim - I can assure you the quality of food in flavor and freshness is what you would expect to find in Houston, Texas. Ask DrivinWest, 3 Lions, Pootle, JohnnyWho, Showem or Gen. The Tex Mex is sound. I promise.

ask me too, it's FAB!!!
agree!! some of the best i had so far!!
@ TexasTornado
Whatever pao recommends, I'll agree with music-wise. Good background is important to the mood, but shouldn't overpower the conversation aspect. And should build the mood over the night as one gets more innebriated. The perfection of the playlist, imho, is a deciding factor between a good place to go and a home away from home.
@ Bludger
Yeah, I know there's not much of a music scene here. But what there is tends to be crap. I have a general complaint about live-music for live-music's sake. If the venue isn't about live bands, then they should be doled out in measured portions with forewarning to regulars.
Overall point - A good eats and drinks place takes very seriously the vibe they are building and the clientele they are marketing to. I think that the TW seems to be taking careful steps to craft a particular sort of place and I am hopeful that it works out to be a winning idea - with no crap live rock acts.

Good luck on the concept, the food at Bondi's was really swell. By the way, what concept is "Twisted Bavarian"? Makes me think of shiny black lederhosen and whips...
If you're up for suggestions, find a good projectionist. Went to a theme bar/restaurant which had a guy who did silent "16mm film rarities: vintage propagandistic mind-control, stunt drivers, demented home movies, cute animals, some naughty stuff, etc". Was a nice touch.
