Crash is what it is -- a kind-of cheap, dirty, run-down club for people who don't like nice places…read more I have had the kind-of misfortune of having to go here many times because one friend only comes here. It's filled with goths/vamps/whatever they are, the whole place reeks of smoke (and so will you when you leave), the bathrooms are disgusting, and they play alt rock from the 90s. Huh? No, doesn't make sense to me either. But they're open really late, nobody cares who you are or what you look like, drinks are pretty cheap, and if you get drunk and let yourself go you can have a good time if it's your thing. I don't really find that it is, but if I really hated it, I wouldn't come back. But for some reason I do -- at least when that one friend gets me to.

Serve up some tasty cold beers (including Waldhaus and Astra), pump in some great 60s soul and mod…read moreand r&b, make the place look at least 40 years old in 4 days, maybe add some foosball (Kicker for you Germans). And put tabletops on empty kegs... and you've got the Teng. This most-recent (I think) addition to Freiburg's bar scene has been a hole-in-one with me, and with more than a few other people around here, judging from the crowds on weekend evenings. Of course on the weekends in the evening they stop playing the great old-school stuff... but they don't sell out. Unlike other bars (El Pi... ahem ahem) which will start drowning you in mainstream pop and hip-hop as soon as it's 11 or so, The Great Rang Teng Teng's staff makes the music a bit more modern... but still palatable to us music snobs. Mostly accessible indie with some classics thrown in here and there. Also, be sure to pick up their calendar of upcoming events -- they feature live music regularly as well. And, to make sure this is an authentic old-school dive bar experience, it's in a basement... so your cell phone won't work! After just a few weeks of existence, this is already my favorite bar in Freiburg. Music listened to while writing this review: Minor Threat - Screaming at a Wall Feb 8th 2011: Still my favorite bar in Freiburg! The concerts are quite regular these days and usually quite good. Note that there's a 2EUR entry fee on Saturday nights now (mainly to keep it from being so ridiculously overflowed as before, I think).
