This is one of the famous landmarks of Darmstadt. It might be because I'm English and my German is…read moreless than perfect, but I really didn't feel welcome here, it was a real You're not from round here are you? moment, complete with banjos, well guitars. Before we left hubby went to the loo and came back looking quite pale he warned me in a hushed voice Don't go in there! Seemingly it was pretty grim, and I warn you he's not a fussy guy. The whole place is a bit on the shabby side, beer sticky floor etc, which I don't really mind in a gig pub, but I do wonder if it isn't biding it's time before it's bought up and turned into a boutique hotel.
