I would like to introduce you to Vito, the bartender. I'm American. My grasp of German is not perfect, but I try. I did my best to explain to Vito that I would like a Jack Daniels mixed with soda and Coke. Vito, instead of trying to understand what I wanted, goes into a tirade explaining to me how that soda water is not the same as sparkling water. Do I care? I just wanted a Jack and Coke thinned down by sparkling water. Thank you Vito.

After a thorough and extended vacation in Europe I ended in Germany, my last night was concluded…read morewith a drink at this place. I was exhausted and sick of sightseeing. Europe definitely has its fair share of churches and castles. Oh look!!! Another landmark. Spectacular. On this particular day, it was just my luck that a heat wave was rolling through Deutschland (just like me, twinsies). It was legit 96 degrees. I needed a beer to cool off. And also, what the fuck else was I going to do? Bc I'm female and hot, all I have to do for some attention is sit at a bar. This place was close to my hotel and open and had alcohol. On approach to the entrance, the music pleasantly spooned with my eardrums (edm). The neon lights inside caught my ADD-brain's attention. I am particularly keen on shiny and bright things. I sit at the bar and peruse the menu. The bartender with thick-framed glasses and buff frame contained by a tight polo switched to English immediately and apologized after hearing my German. I literally lost my shit half way through my hefeweizen pint when my FAVORITE REMIX OF ROCKABYE started playing!!!!! I have legitimately never heard this except for on my own iTunes. Their music selection was almost like an exact replica of my "neutrophils" playlist. Yes I am a nerd and name playlists after biology terms. Get over it. After the "OMG I forgot to check in on yelp" the description of this establishment hit me like a brick in the face. Gay bar. It all makes sense now. Good thing I chose the perfect place for someone to come talk to me. (How embarrassing is it that I needed yelp to tell me that? Fml). Anyways it was fun and cheap. Bye. Ps-sorry I keep posting the same photo over and over. I'm dumb as a rock apparently.

When asked what Flip-flop size a needed I said 12 and the white guy laughed and said I was a size screen. He said with 13 work I said no. How about 11 1/2, I said oh yes perfect. Then he said I was exaggerating about my foot size. And spoke in German to the other guys and everyone started laughing. Needless to say I felt pretty put off by the whole experience. I did walk around the facility which looked nice. It was a Sunday night. There are no good the game people there but I would have stayed for a while but I was just so put off by the front staff that I just left. I was there about seven minutes. Definitely not going back to pay to be offended again.

As my sweetie was in the hospital for some renal problems, I decided to spend my 53rd birthday in…read morethe city of my birth, Frankfurt. I have often visited the Amsterdam Sauna in Sachsenhausen. I love the friendly familiar atmosphere in the pub area and the somewhat older clientele, many regulars who obviously know each other. A similar ambiance can be found in the Atlantis Sauna in Ludwigshafen across the Rhine River from Mannheim. I was planning to try something new. My eyes were on the Metropol, right downtown where it all happens. I researched reviews and saw a few that recommended Saunawerk instead. I teetered between the two until I saw that on this particular day it was FKK. As a closet nudist, I jumped and decided to go here. A little out of downtown, this establishment lies along the first German subway/metro line. I used to take it as a 2nd grader to school. Nostalgia! The entrance is clearly marked. A pleasant entrance with a super friendly gentleman to check you in. (Of note is that when the aforementioned Atlantis Sauna has FKK days, the staff complies with the dress code.) The venue is very nice, clean, well kept. It was early afternoon, so not all facilities were open. Multiple shower areas, a dry sauna, a steam room, a jacuzzi/hot tub (not quite hot enough), a small swimming pool, a hammam like room. The tepidarium and the "foam party" room were not yet in service till later in the evening. There is also a covered outdoor area with beach chairs. There smoking is allowed. Upstairs there are first come first serve rooms for privacy. I saw at least one private room. Common in US bath houses, these are not common in Germany. The entrance area is the hospitality area. Bar/restaurant is not comparable to either the Amsterdam which has a huge food and drink space, or the Atlantis which does BBQs in the warm months. Now to the biggest reason for the only three star rating. The clientele. Normally you have either the young crowd where 52 year olds are invisible despite adequate endowment. Or you have an older set of men, some of which are quite social. (The latter is indicative of the Amsterdam and the Atlantis. The former reminds me of a gorgeous bath house in Karlsruhe). Here, unfortunately, you had mostly older guys with little to show who were quite standoffish and antisocial. So facility fantastic, clientele not.

Tastes like a blend of exotic fruit flavors and is a touch sweet - but not syrupy. Bartenders were friendly and served our party of four very quickly. For groups I recommend getting there early to snag the big seating area near the window. This way you can be inside but people watch the whole time. Would definitely come back again.
