If I had a bar named after a seminal work of post-war German literature

then it would be in Brighton, near Seven Dials....

....I would serve amazing moscow mules and cherry coke martinis (don't knock them til you've tried them....)

...and lovely beers....

Maybe I would call it 'Billard um halb zehn' and have a massive billiard table, or 'Kindheitsmuster' and decorate it in tedium, or perhaps 'Jakob der Luegner' and go with a film theme. No, I would call it THE TIN DRUM, but there would not be an onion or any fizzy sherbet in sight.

(For those of you that don't understand this post, I am afraid the only thing you can do is read some Grass. You'll like it.)

  2. That is a big lie. I do not like Grass at all.

    Do they serve eels?

  3. Slightly embarrassingly, I've never read Der Blechtrommel (or at least, never finished it), and so I don't really know what you're talking about, but I'm totally going there next time I'm in Brighton.

  4. Katie, I wish I could read your deleted post. They do not serve eels, as far as I am aware.

  5. Oh, that was just because of a typo. I didn't realise it would stay there forever. Shame about the eels, though probably for the best.
