| - This place is really not what it used to be. I went here last Saturday for a friends birthday and was seriously unimpressed with every single element of the evening.
The line up was RIDICULOUS! Despite arriving at 10:00, we were still made to wait for 45 minutes. Fourty-freaking-five MINUTES! If it hadn't been my friends birthday, there is no way I would have waited that long - it is NOT worth it and there are much better places in this city to spend your Saturday night where you will not be made to wait for eons.
Once we finally got in, we entered the massive line up for coat check. Thankfully, by this point, we were total pros at standing in hopelessly long unmoving queues. By the time we got to the front of the line, we were informed that coat check was full, but that we could try again in 15 minutes. Wonderful.
By that point, I felt exhausted, deflated and, most of all, annoyed. Time for booze (oooo, so that's how they make their money - piss you off so badly that you NEED a drink the second they allow you to get your hands on one...well played...)!
Decided that I deserved a double with the evening I was having - when I finally made it through the sea of people across the sticky floor (movie theatres have NOTHING on this place) I was rewarded by having to pay $15 for my drink. Hooray! You better believe I switched to beer after that.
The music was DATED - if I walked into the Bier Markt last year, I swear I would have been listening to the same crap. Even though I wasn't a fan of what they were playing, the band was pretty decent.
The verdict for the Bier Markt? Don't do it. Do yourself a huge favour, and go ANYWHERE else.
