Memories and hints of a travelling IT professional.
It is an institution at the city quarter Vorderer Westen of Kassel, Germany. The Ulenspiegel is a nice little beer and wine bar at the intersection of Goethestraße and Querallee. Inside it has a quite dark and relaxing atmosphere, you can get good drinks and listen to rock music. In summer there are also seats outside and it is much easier to find a place than in winter.

The Fiasko (‘fizzle‘) is a nice alternative bar at the city quarter Wehlheiden of Kassel, Germany. They serve good drinks (even if they put strange fruits into the Altbierbowle), you can play pool billiard and listen to rock music. In addition, they offer meals from Hesse but also international standards.

The Lolita Bar is a lovely and iconic bar at Kassel, Germany. It is cosy, good music is played and they serve a nice selection of drinks. If you show on social media that you are there and most of your friends are not from Kassel you might have to explain that this is not a red-light venue. 😉 Get there on a Wednesday, Friday or Saturday.

My currently favorite pub at London, United Kingdom is a special one: it is floating on river Thames between Lambeth and Vauxhall bridge. Tamesis Dock was once a Dutch barge from the 1930s but is now permanently moored and used as a relaxed bar on the water. Continue reading “Tamesis Dock”
The Freibad Weende at the city quarter Weende belonging to Göttingen, Germany was the outdoor swimming pool of my childhood. Our garden was nearby, for many years I had a season ticket and went here many times. Then it came to age and had to be refurbished – and it changed its character during this process.

If you need a bistro or bar in the north of Hamburg, Germany near the airport the BRABAND Bistro & Wein might be your choice – it is located directly at a bridge leading over the Alster. We went there because it was located between our hotel and the Sporthalle Hamburg. Continue reading “Alster bar”
I was at London, United Kingdom during the football world championship and the next match was England vs. Colombia. A not so nice match that ended with a historical event: England won a penalty shoot-out for the first time ever. And of course I had to find a pub to watch the match. Continue reading “The Zeitgeist”

The Stupido is a funny bar in Lisboa, Portugal. It is painted in many colors, they offer a long list of good cocktails and serve some slices of pizza now and then. I wouldn’t cross the whole city for it but was the right bar for our needs. Continue reading “Stupido”
