WARNING: Lost coat check ticket = hours in freezing cold with no alternatives…read moreI lost my coat check ticket at Cassiopeia last night. My jacket contained my wallet, ID, and house keys - everything I needed to get home. I immediately went to coat check and explained the situation. I offered to: Describe my jacket in detail Describe everything inside it (including my ID) Show identification through other means Wait inside the venue until 5 AM when they do returns The staff refused all of these options. Their only response: "Come back at 5 AM" or "Come back Monday." When I explained I literally could not go home without my keys and had no money without my wallet, they called security and forced me to leave the club entirely. I was not aggressive, not drunk, not causing any problems - I was a paying customer calmly trying to solve a problem. I was forced to wait outside in 0°C temperatures for hours without a jacket, unable to go anywhere else because all my belongings were locked inside. The issue: Lost coat check tickets happen constantly at every venue. Most clubs have reasonable procedures: verification through ID, jacket description, security deposit, or at minimum letting you wait inside until closing. Cassiopeia's policy is: lose your ticket = you're ejected into the cold with zero alternatives, even if your house keys and wallet are in there. This isn't just bad customer service - it's a safety issue. If you're going here, photograph your coat check ticket or you may end up locked out in freezing temperatures.

Cassiopeia is a very cool beer garden. I was in the area and came in during an afternoon to watch…read morethe boulderers climb. The beer garden is quite literally in a blown up building area where trees provide shade and during the evening are lit up with colored mood lighting. The graffiti gives the area's walls character and are sometimes nice to look at and admire. They have several beers on tap or in the fridge. They use a deposit/return glass scheme where they hand you a button/pin for a euro that you'll have returned once you come back with your empty glass. In my case it's normally exchanged right back for another beer. The spot has themed nights such as disco events and fun international music. As an American, the open consumption laws are very freeing and makes for a very relaxed experience. The staff speaks fluent English but will bear with your as you struggle in broken German.

I have only been here for when they have had concerts, which seems ridiculous if you have been to…read morethe place, just because it is so small. But yes, I have been here for two concerts. One time the band played in the bar and everyone had to sit/stand/jump/dance outside. This of course was during the summer. The second time around, it was an acoustic set by one of my favorite bands. I couldn't complain. Except about the general layout of the place....I always hate it when you enter and the bar is just standing RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF THE DOOR. If there is a line for some drinks, then the first thing you do is run into people. It's quite annoying. Also annoying are the drunkards that stumble in and out. That one night that I was there in particular, there were a few smelly ones. However, that is not really the establishment's fault, is it? At the same time, I like the glowing letters they have set against the brick walls and the giant bull hanging from the ceiling. Flying male cows are cool, and so is exposed brick. I would come here again, if it isn't full in front of the tresen, if it were summer, or if another decent music act was going on. The service was decent and they do speak English as well. Its more of a punk place too (mohawk punk types) I should mention, but they also play a lot of pop punk (ie Green Day friendly). Typical XBerg non-electro scene shindig.

He didn't seem to think the notice was ambiguous. Actually this is a place of notices and behaviour policing. Written on the front door is a warning,' no racism,no sexism, no homophobia, no anti-Semitism, no Nazis'. Laudable indeed, but what should be added is 'no humour'. Be careful what you wear, it could be misconstrued in the myriad of forbiddens. Anything that fits in the list of no-no's will be ejected! Having said that the clientele are an affable bunch and it's worth a visit.
