| - There are so very many positive aspects about Alexandraplatz that I witnessed last Friday when I met up with friends there and got liberally sauced:
1. Cocktail drinks in large pint glasses. FTW. I kept having the Hare Sake . Like a gin and tonic with sake and also ginger. Refreshing! The bourbon lemonade was also good but kinda sweet.
2. Vegan treats! When we got there around 8, they were dishing out these really cute portions of pad-thai with some thinly sliced BBQ grilled tofu and fresh coriander on top of some rice pasta. Joanne dropped her tofu on the ground and no probs, they gave her some new one. Afterwards, like around 10, these two dudes showed up with home-made (!!) vegan sausages and probably made a killing selling hot-dogs and nachos (great nutritional yeast sauce, dudes).
3. The general feel of it. Was friendly and open and sweet.
With that being said, the whole terrace thing was a bit of a shit-show and you get the sense that they're dealing with new-found popularity and don't really know how to manage. At first, someone came to tell us we could't sit in the loading area with drinks and that we had to go to the terrace even though a bunch of folks were drinking their brews right on the sidewalk. Then later on, like after 11, we were told we couldn't have our drinks on the terrace. Even though by then the whole outside thing was a bit out of control with people having their drinks whichever way. And then somehow, when Joanne asked later on, it felt like they just gave up and it became ok to drink on the terrace.
So yeah, right on that Alexandraplatz is doing good. They're awesome. They just need to tighten it up. But that's cool.
