Anyway, Rosi's trivia: the girl with the dreads from Zoe 2 DJ's here at the weekends sometimes. It's always packed Thursday till Sunday morning. It doesn't look anything like the photo, cause you have to imagine the mass of people sprawled on the pavement. All good fun, and probably better than the Reeperbahn

It was initially an emergency back-up if there was no beer in the fridge. Well, now it's a favorite after having been in town for two months. It's pretty much what we call in the States a "dive-bar". This can have both a negative and a positive connotation. In regards to Dreyer, it's positive. I love this place because it's everything a bar should be where you want to hang out and grab a beer. I don't need all the designer crap most new bars add to their "Innenausstattung". I want some comfortable chairs, a long "Theke" and interesting people. The bartender here (and owner I presume) as well as his wife (I presume) look like they've worked here their whole lives (maybe after short stints working at the docks). BUT, they are the two nicest people you could meet (even though the bartendar is huge and looks like he'd kick your a$$ if you met him in a dark alley). Plus, the people sitting around the bar (who seem to be there every night) sure are characters. One cool feauture is that the owner seems to collect clocks and there's something like 110 of them spread throughout the bar. A nice litte touch which you don't figure out the first night you're there. Anyway, this place is great and definately not your run of the mill watering hole. Check it out if you're up for something different which doesn't remind you of every other bar you've sat in the last couple of beers.
