You fancy having a little lederhosen-slapping fun? No problem! Enjoy Bavarian dishes such as bratwurst, weisswurst and stein's of Erdinger in one of London's Bavarian Beer Houses/Gardens
Dave did:
This Thing was actually completed last summer when my friend Nelson was visiting from America (see Thing #81 where I mention our previous evening's activities which ticked off this Thing!)
So I found the Bavarian Beerhouse on Old Street about a year ago and fell in love with the place almost immediately! Not only do they serve some of the best German beers, not only do they serve them in Stein glasses, and not only do they serve the best shot I've ever heard of and had the good fortune to try out (Porno-Bruase anyone?), but they've also got barmaids in full Bavarian costume providing table service and good fun chat!
Yes you could say the Bavarian Beerhouse is probably one of my favourite spots in London for a night out. Unfortunately on this occassion it also proved to be my most expensive nights! i won't got into details, but our barmaid for the evening, Pati, was very good at her job and made sure I was always topped up with a good beer.
Other recollections of the night include the shot mentioned above - Porno Brause - where you are served a shot of vodka and specially imported packet of sherbert. As Pati demonstrated a number of times - you take the shot of vodka, hold it in your mouth and then pour in the sherbert into your mouth. Next you shake your head side to side before swallowing it all. It is honestly the best and easiest way to down a straight shot of vodka, and the tingling sensation afterwards is very surreal (as are the uncontrollable spasms you get for a few minutes afterwards).
All in all, a very enjoyable evening and one that has been revisited on a number of occassions since...
