Drink a stein!

The Bierkeller is a magical place. It is a hidden jewel in Liverpool that all my friends have just discovered and shared with me. We first went there to celebrate our friend Danny's 21^st birthday. We had a total blast with live music playing and everyone singing along. Whenever the band took a break, they put on music and the audience singing continued. The Bierkeller is inspired by the German bierkellers. According to Kim, who has been to Germany, it is pretty close. According to all of us, it is awesome.

Now we had an awesome time on Thursday night at Danny's birthday, but we decided to go out again on Friday night. Laura was in London so the group consisted of Kim, Jonny (Kim's boyfriend), Leah, Nick, Danny and me. The decision to go out on Friday was made on Thursday when we saw a poster advertising an Oompah band. For those of you who don't know, this is traditional German countryside music.

When we got there on Friday night the place was packed possibly double what it was on Thursday. We got drinks, which took about 20 min, and attempted to find a place to sit down. After another 20 min we finally spotted a place to sit down and snagged it. Everyone in the place is very drunk or on their way there. This is due to the fact that the drink size choice of the night was a stein. That's about two pints in a glass. Those things are heavy and very hard to finish!

The band was absolutely on fire! We all had such a grand time and were dancing as per their instructions the whole time. One of the things you have to know about the Bierkeller is, you dance on the benches. So everyone is up off the floor stomping away and enjoying themselves immensely! I brought along my camera to document the event and see some real liederhosen! They certainly delivered. When I went up to the stage they posed for me. =]

Originally we went just to hear the band and have a few drinks. This was at 9pm. We left at 1:30. All of our feet and voices were sore from dancing and singing the night away. See, after the band finished their gig, the DJ put on a great mix of music that ranges decades and everyone knew. I know this is a really short blog, but we really did just sing and dance the night away. Probably one of the best nights out I've had a in a really long time!
