Gambrinus in Bielefeld

Today I wanted to give my wife a break and took my one-year-old son in the car to go for a drive. While driving, I got a call from the hookah accessories store where I had placed an order and already paid. Since the goods were ready for pickup and tomorrow is Sunday, I drove there spontaneously. Since my son was sleeping in the car, I wanted to pick up the order quickly without taking him to the hookah shop. I briefly parked part of the car on the curb directly in front of the store to complete the process as quickly as possible - it would have taken a maximum of 10 seconds. Four people, three men and one woman, were standing outside the adjacent bar smoking. One of the men immediately made a snide comment: “Just drive in!” Instead of calmly clarifying the situation, an unnecessary, aggressive discussion began. Even though I explained that I would be leaving soon, I continued to be lectured in a rude tone. It was obvious that the man was just looking for a fight, especially since he still had support from the other guests behind him. The bar owner also got involved and took his guest's side without really understanding the situation. Some statements were made that made it clear that probably only German guests are welcome here. I have the feeling that the anger of the bar-goers was also due to the fact that the shisha shop is right next door and the clientele is obviously different. Although I certainly understand that I was in the wrong traffic-wise, that still doesn't justify the disrespectful tone and behavior of those present. Instead of remaining objective, the situation was exaggerated and dramatized. It wasn't just a matter of me standing on the curb for a moment - there were obviously prejudices and reservations in the room. My advice: Maybe drink less next time and don't pigeonhole people straight away. A little more understanding and less aggression would certainly be good for the atmosphere.

Super nice landlady, great draft beer.

Unfortunately closed until August 20, 2024.

If you like watching people and cars, there are good places to sit outside with large tables. Of course there is a certain amount of noise outside, depending on the time of day. Inside, guests are greeted by warm light and a long counter with comfortable chairs. Prices are local and service is quick and very polite. People with walking difficulties have enough space to maneuver with any aids.

You can have a good meal in this restaurant! Price performance is right.
