Your “local” doesn’t necessarily mean the pub nearest you. It also means the pub you frequent. You might pass half a dozen other pubs to get to your “local”.
@@jackmclane1826 It might be more fitting but that’s not what people say. If two next door neighbours go to two different, one is 200m down the street and the other is 600m up the street, they will each call the pub they go to as their local, regardless of one being 3x as far away.
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.
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.
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 🙂
Some say that the Swedish alcohol policy with a monopoly retailer saves lives by restricting sales and keep people from abusing. But people with problems can still buy at the monopoly retailer and get drunk at a bench or att home. It is all about earning money on taxes and to keep the problems out of people’s view.
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.
define most other? it is down to the municipalities to order a curfew. Mostly the curfew is from 5:00 to 6:00 o`clock,... exception is baden-würtemmberg is 3-6 am and bremen 2-6 am...
@@thestonegateroadrunner7305 in most of them there is no us-style ridicoulous curfew at 1 o`clock. the harshest i found was 2 o`clock for some Kurorte in Baden-Würrtemberg. on weekdays in baden-würrtemberg its 3 o`clock in all states there is a Sperrstunde a.k.a. a curfew between 5 and 6 o`clock.
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.
@@dweuromaxx Irish pub times are stricter but they changed that is going to change much to the chagrin of Father Matthew returned Professor Frank Murray. While smaller independent breweries tend to brew a wide array of beers pubs tend to be Lager pubs or Stout and by proxy also Ale pubs. My favourite draught stouts are O’ Hara’s single stout, White Hag black pig and the Porterhouse stouts.
ooh Belgian beer, my fave along w/good German beer (funny how the 2 countries w/best beer in world are right next to each other), i love Belgium, have spent many times in Antwerp, wonderful city... Belgium has a way of making high alcohol beer (even above 10%!!!) that is absolutely delicious (ooh, Leffe Beer, how do i love you?)
I am german, but my uncle was belgian. I loved and still love to hang around in Belgian Pubs. Great beer culture, different in style but definitely as good as home! Cheers to our neighbours! 🍻
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.
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!"
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.
It’s not really a thing anywhere in Europe but some people seem intent on changing that. Makes them feel rich throwing a few coins to the people serving them. Pay your staff properly and they don’t need tips to survive like in America.
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.
Tipping is still not expected though most will round up to avoid small change. Smoking highly depends on the state, here in NRW it is banned indoors, in the next village from my town which is is Rhineland Palatinate you can still smoke inside
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?
A traditional Kneipe also has a certain look with a lot of wood panels. Though a British pub sometimes could resemble a living room with fireplace, a sofa or even carpet, carpet would be considered yucky for a German Kneipe and the furniture like chairs and table would rather remind of a French bistro.
That would be a old german Eckkneipe. (corner Pub) You find plenty of pictures on the web. But those are the ones that dying out a little bit and are no longer much visited, having not changed much since decades. And they have competition by Pubs, Student Bars, Cocktail Bars, Wine Bars, etc etc.
Not sure about Berlin but yes, usually they have dark wood paneling, green tinted lead windows and some hunting trophies (or nowadays often also a mock replacement) on the wall. They also usually have dim lighting and feel very sturdy and cozy Also there is usually a ship-bell somewhere around the counter which you can ring to announce that you are buying a round for everyone
In America bar food is excellent. Best bars in America are the sport and college bars. You can order cheese burgers, pizza, chicken wings, BBQ, submarine sandwiches (subs), seafood, ice cream with brownies, cheesecake, etc and have like 20-30 different versions of each. Bars are kind of like restaurants here in the states.
@@CzechtoU I’m not saying you can’t get great food in a pub. I’m just saying the best pubs are not gastro pubs or restaurants. They’re primarily for drinking and socialising.
"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.
Several mistakes here - most importantly, it is not neccessary, or even normal to tip 5 or 10% in a Kneipe (as opposed to a fancy cocktail bar). Most people simply round up, so if the bill is 15.60 they pay 16.00. Saying "Gut so" when you hand over the cash is like saying "Keep the change".
Yes, that is very individual, you are right. But the recommendation is 5 to 10%, even if that doesn't always apply in reality. So it's not really a wrong fact. Which other parts do you think are incorrect?
@@dweuromaxx "Recommendation"? Whose recommendation? The waiter's! People just round up - nobody tips 10%. Well, this is shot in Berlin, so maybe the Berliner schicky-mickeys do...and all the tourists who don't know how things are done.
@@rodjones117 Well, as we said: everyone can choose how much they want to tip. But the recommendation of 5 to 10 % is not wrong. For example, if a beer costs €4.50 and you pay €5 - that's even more than ten percent.
@@dweuromaxx Yes, it is, but that not really the point. My point was, and is, that nobody in Germany calculates 10% and gives the waiter that exact sum of money, they just round up. In your example, if you wanted to tip 10%, that would be .45 cent, and so you would pay the waiter 4.95, expecting .05 cents change. That is not something anybody does. My point was about the German *method* of tipping, not the amount tipped. Also, you keep talking about a "recommendation" - as I asked above, whose recommendation?
As a German I would round up to the full Euro - but 10 % max when I'm served by a waiter at my table. Just having a beer across the bar counter I would leave the change but rather 5% or less.
Since that was a nick n nora glass + she‘s in a rather fancy bar, i‘d assume (!) it‘s a „Bee‘s Knees“ Or to put it in other words: it‘s nothing typically german

Erm, not entirely sure@@dweuromaxx - you're much more qualified to identify the sound issues than myself. Good use of an East Coast Scottish accent BTW. Intelligent but clearly good for a laugh.
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. .
Means nearly the same. But "Lokal“ often serves food and can have a bar area too. Kneipe often only serves beer and drinks and sometimes a few snacks but no real cooked food.
Lokal itself comes from the same roots as "local". You can have an Esslokal (other word for restaurant), a Tanzlokal (Dance Bar), a Ladenlokal (a shop)...
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. . .
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.
That is the same thing I thought: They just had a Berlin or big city perspective with old pubs closing down and new bars popping up. But the reality in rural areas and small villages looks much different. There has been a pub dying over decades and corona shut downs even added to it. In the good old times every village had one or even several pubs, a bakery, a corner shop, maybe a butcher... Most of it is gone nowadays and these village don't have a place wher people could meet up and gather. Therefore you can notice that many villagres install a village hall aka Dorfgemeinschaftshaus.
Join a club, that's how most Germans build their social circle as adults and there are tons around for pretty much any hobby or interest you can think of
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
In Berlin you will find they put something a little extra in their handmade cigarettes, if you catch my drift 😵💫. I have a friend from Munich who's the biggest potthead I ever met, he smokes it for his espergers
It depends on the particular bar or pub. Some serve proper dishes, others only a few snacks, and still others serve no food at all. It all comes down to concept of each single bar.
"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.
Slang yes, but dialect? Which dialect? Brothers Grimm are dead for over 150 years, if it was dialect back then, it doesn't have to be dialect nowadays.
