What you need to know before heading to a proper German pub night | Germany In A Nutshell

Your body language is most disgusting and very loud try to change

In Berlin there is no curfew, in most other federal states pubs close at 1:00 am and longer opening hours require an exception to be applied for.
It is true that you can independently order a beer or a wine from the age of 16 on.
However, if the parents are present and agree, there is no lower age limit.

Germany is awesome!

Don't start a bier hall putsch!!!!

And you can buy beer at the service station ! What an advanced culture, unlike Australia .

Stammkneipe isn't just your local pub, it's the pub you always (or most of the time) go to

If die Kneipe means bar what does das Lokal mean?

Dat pepppp nicht vergessen ihr lappen, dann könnt ihr mehr trinken.

The British pub has a distinctive look (made to look inviting a home, with wood panel, wallpaper and fabrics). It there a traditional decor for this type of Berlin Stammkneipe?

Das Kneipensterben ist real. Wenn ich daran denke das fast jedes Dorf im Baunschweiger Raum mal wenigstens eine hatte. Oder Helmstedt, einst die Stadt mit den meisten Kneipen pro Einwohner. Alles weg. Das ist schon traurig, dieser Kulturwandel.

Do you like a big German sausage

IDK, I know this series shows the best side of Germany, but I feel like this is too Berlin centric. Most of the pubs/bars/Trinkhallen in my town just look like bland functional rooms where a few people can be seen drinking

Also be aware that there are dodgy practices ie serving fizzy coloured drink for champagne , watered down spirits this happens a lot

I barely understand what was said at the bar :(

Beer gardens!

Isn’t she smiling extra for nothing?

We don't have a pub culture in Sweden - there are few local pubs. Some say that going out to hang out and drink is not in our DNA... but I think it is a result of restrictive drinking policies in the past killing this culture. Now alcohol is expensive due to hight taxes. You might just buy at the state monopoly retailer chain and bring home to drink instead. Or go to Germany to buy loads of cheaper beer, spirits, and wine to drink at home 🙂

Don't forget to tip? WHAT!? Have you never been to a Kneipe before? Tipping is NOT the norm, and certainly not a percentage of anything. What passes for tipping in German pubs is to round up the bill to the nearest euro and tell the waiter to give you change for that (e.g. with a €22.15 bill, you may hand them €30.00 and say "23" - that means they give you €7.00 in change, rather than €7.85.

I wonder how non-connected Germans are about what's going in the other side of the world...soon Pakistani terrorism will reach them just like it reached US and UK .. enjoy while you can...

Germans are like Brits minus the sense of humour.

Beers are very local in Berlin, we brought my father back to Berlin for a visit (We had been stationed there with the British Army during the era of "Die Mauer" when we we told him that we would be staying in Mitte, he said "But they have Berliner Kindle there and I don't like that! I prefer Schulthaus!"

Germans are so full of themselves

A German tipping? Good one 😂

Theres no strict Smoking ban in german Pubs, it absolutely depends on the Bundesland.

You forgot one very important rule for visiting Cologne pubs. If you are finished drinking, put your coaster on your glas. Otherwise the beer won't stop coming.

I find that being in any nation where you can't communicate fluently actually sucks.

"Kneipe" is not even a proper Standard German word, it is local dialect. The Brothers Grimm wrote: the only supraregional word is "Wirtshaus", whereas Kneipe is slang and should be avoided in the official language.

I wonder what would happen if you ordered a brandy Old Fashioned sweet with olives?

Awesome job Hannah. I love to visit Germany and I visit often. Thanks for sharing the history:).

SEX IS GOOD FOR YOU , YET BOOZE I WOULD NEVER GO NEAR .
THIS APPLIES TO GERMAN PEOPLE WHO WERE RAISED ON BE4ER IN THE HOME AS WELL.
IT IS JUST AS DANGEROUS .

"Ein großes Pils, bitte."

Mehr braucht es am Anfang wahrscheinlich nicht, damit kommt ihr denke ich gut über den Abend.

Hannah Hummel is such a cutie and always in high spirits. I really like her work and the reporting is always better with her.

Things have changed since I lived in Germany in the 1980s. There was no expectation of tipping, although I tipped, and smoking in kneipen or bars or gasthausen was rampant.

Destille kneipe in Berlin. Muss ich überhaupt dort hingehen wenn ich nach Deutschland fliege

I love Germany. But i dont smoke and i barely drink... any advice for my chances of a great social life remain intact? 😅

What you need to know before heading to a proper German pub night | Germany In A Nutshell 0829am 17.823 i need to go to Germany and have a decent night out drinking. proper night. not rowdy night as drinking to me doesnt mean being rowdy.. just proper drink. as in the good old days. the Germans used to own al the pubs in UK once over...

"what's it like in your country ? " well , in my country the Pub (Public House) is part of the social fabric and traditional culture. I refer to England the cradle of Pub culture worldwide.

Why don't they call a tavern a. Bierstube?

What happened with the audio? I'll come over and work for you, but be warned, I'm not cheap!

Darling, you need a dress designer …

If I had a pile of money to invest in something fun, opening a German-style pub in my area (Seattle/Puget Sound) would be near the top of the list. We have lots of British and Irish pubs, but very few German pubs. That's a niche waiting to be tapped.

Fantastische Nachtbar, die ich genossen habe

My dad got stationed there in 72 and later retired there. Best years of my life. Moved stateside in 96. Went home every year since. Legally started drinking at 16. So much fun.

I started going to Tony's pizza at 16. Went there so long that if anyone spilled their drinks Tony or Inge would say you know where the mop is. Lol.

Canadian pub culture varies widely across the country. Highly regulated, highly taxed, it's difficult to support a pub culture similar to the UK or Germany. Although you might have a "local" to go to, the cost alone will keep you from being a regular. The attendance at pubs seems to drop off considerably once people reach the age of 30, but as I recall from living in the Freiburg area, many pubs were busy with patrons of all ages. I miss that.

Leicht zu sagen

I don't see any beer. Where have you hidden the Diebels or Hannen Alt. . .

10% tip? Not if I drink two or three beers. Then I round up the bill and that's it. . .

In the 1960s, women were not yet welcome as guests. Pubs often had a window at the entrance where children could fetch beer for their father.

And the drink, which had to be cheaper than beer, was firstly smaller and secondly something like orange juice. Or something similar, which nobody could drink more than once an evening. In other words, a joke. .

Seems cool I guess still can’t believe you can’t ask for tap water and they don’t have food though😮
