Qype: Café de Barron in Arnhem

Arnhem

Excellent bar for live music, tasty beer and cocktails. Beautiful, friendly people a-plenty, and you you can munch on peanuts, throwing the shells on the floor. I have never been disappointed with a night out in Arnhem that included a visit to de Barron.

Qype: Luba Luft in Hamburg

Hamburg - Pubs & Bars - Bars - Cocktail Bars

Hard to add what has not already been said... right down to the 'aLii-told-me-so' part... but I'll throw in my two cents.

HOW CAN I HAVE LIVED IN ST. PAULI 1 YEAR AND ONLY NOW VISIT LUBA LUFT?!

I mean really. You walk into the joint, and BAM... it's like a drinkers version of the Moon Lounge from 2001. All 70's orange and rounded corners and sphere-things in plentiful abundance. Behind the bar... some bottles even a drinker's drinker may not recognize.

Seating falls into three basic categories: Old and obviously comfortable, modern and surprising comfortable and über-cool retro egg-glass chair-like things that are more for decor than a body.

Before ordering, came a (get this) White Russian _shot_. Maybe it's just my inner Dude here, but I just love it when a German bar not only has Kahlúa... but knows how to mix it with vodka and a dairy product.

My recommendation for this kind of place is to put your drink order in the hands of the professionals that take it. I had the distinct feeling that there is a good reason the drink menus look like they are meant to be ignored.

Qype: A Secret Bar in Hamburg

Hamburg - Virtual Places

After the afore mentioned cocktail, in this place that I shall simply call 'heaven'... came what can only be described as a near religious experience.

The Dude is dead.
Long live the Gentledude.
