A small but powerful establishment for a proper Martini amid graffiti in a pretty city…read more I deferred to the bartender's choice of gin - locally made, an inspired selection - which delivered the juniper fix for which I traveled from a distant hotel, testing man against map in search of a just reward. Being well shaken, it arrived admirably chilled with speared olive triptych served on the side, offering full freedom of garnish choice. I chose one for the cocktail, relegating one as an hors d'oeuvre, and reserving the remainder as my entrée. Some may have disparaged me as a Martini "snob". I am not, but I admit to being deeply attentive. Not for dickish purposes, but because the human liver is a miraculous wonder, and should not be abused thoughtlessly. And if a Martini isn't as perfect as those my daughter made as an eight year old, then one desperately needs to get one's shit together. I think we can all agree. Thank you Frank. My daughter would approve.

As noted, drinks are unbelievably cheap, and for fans of Eastern German klars and kräuters, the selection is unparalleled. Go and play ping pong over 2 Euro shots of Rostocker Doppelkorn.

From the owner: Seit nun mehr 45 Jahren gibt es den Studentenclub Bärenzwinger in Dresden…read more Generationen von Studenten und Jugendlichen sind hindurchgegangen, haben getanzt und gelauscht, gefeiert und getrauert, getrunken und diskutiert sowie gelacht und geweint. Vieles hat sich im Laufe der Zeit getan. Strukturelle Veränderungen blieben nicht aus. Aus dem einstigen FDJ-Studentenclub ist einer der ältesten und schönsten Studentenclubs Dresdens geworden. Räume wurden neu erschlossen und mussten wieder abgegeben werden - 2006 wurde im Hof ein Schallschutzschirm installiert, um nun die schönste überdachte Open Air Location Dresdens zu sein. Die Schäden der Hochwasser 2002 und 2013 konnten dank zahlreicher Helfer und Spender behoben und schnell konnte der normale Betrieb wieder aufgenommen werden. Immer waren und sind es die Mitglieder des Studentenclub Bärenzwingers, die Veranstaltungen planen und durchführen und so das einzigartige Flair des Hauses prägen.

Nice atmosphere and really friend staff…read more The drinks are a bit pricey, and also a bit watery. My gin and tonic tasted weirdly of cranberry juice. But the sitting area and scene is pleasant.

Sankt Pauli is a beer garden in Neustadt with a menu of economical bar food, explained both in…read moreGerman and in English (to my happiness). And the fine folks at Sankt Pauli were nice enough to take me through the one portion of the menu which was NOT translated into English: the "Specials Section". Here we find slightly more ambitious (and pricey) selections. I assumed this was what I wanted to order. So, what I got was a cut of meat, ordered medium, with a Swiss Rosti and some salad. What came out was tasty but definitely "off". The meat, ordered medium rare came out medium-well. The rosti was very tasty but unfortunately not fresh. Clearly reheated and some of it was just damn hard to chew. The salad was fine. The sparkling water was not so much. Even my friend, who lives close by mentioned that it was not his favorite place.

And on top of that the prices were great!
