Just wait for the beer exchange to crash! 3rd May 2008

This great pub located right outside Friedrichstrasse S-Bahn station (you need to cross the river) offers pretty much everything you need: beer, sports and varying prices.

Though it definitely isn't the cheapest place in town, prices are reasonable. Especially since the main reason you go here is in order have some fun playing against the beer exchange system. Depending on the current demand the different beer prices will rise or fall. Everything is announced live on screen and every time you order something the bartender gives you a receipt with the current price (as the price of your beer may change within a few minutes). For those who don't like taking risks, just wait for the exchange to crash every 30 minutes or so. The crash is announced by a bell and all beer prices fall back to their minimum. It's a fun little place to go to with your friends although it tends to be rather empty during weekdays.

I strongly recommend ordering the Koelsch Meter (=15 200ml glasses of fresh beer from Cologne)

Enjoy ;-)
