Manne's Biergarten is an excellent diversion regardless of your ethnic background. They welcome everyone there, even us lame Americans! Although I mainly drank bier while I was there, I did try a few shots of their unbranded brown bottled tequila, which I thought was excellent. We'll have to get some tequila connoisseurs over there to give us their take. When I do my bar crawl on March 1st, 2006, it'll be one of the places on the list.

Although I missed the anniversary party, my traveling partner managed to attend and said it was terrific. According to him, the crowd spilled out into the street, which is my idea of a successful party.
