When Hazelwood grew too loud, we retreated to Lass uns Freunde bleiben ("Let's stay friends") across the street. The cafe/bar was perfect before it became overrun with what Max tipped to be a Swabian youth group and we had to retreat again.

What I liked? Its battered western wall, its prices, its barkeep, its cryptic name, its URL (with an automatic redirect to Ruf mich nie wieder an ("Never call me again")), and I liked sitting slumped in one of the red upholstered chairs, watching the people, drinking Tempranillo, talking to Max.

Lass uns Freunde bleiben, Chorinerstr. 12 (map)
