Dusseldorf Germany. Anyone been?

Off there next Friday for a long weekend with my Mrs.
Any recommendations?
It is the city where Auf Wiedershen Pet was set in, my favourite ever TV series 🙂

Wander through the old town pedestrian zone and, if the weather is fine, get a seat outside one of the pubs. Good for people watching and beer drinking.

Alt beer is darker than Lager beer.

Blimey 3 thumbs down for that!

I guess I’m even less popular here than I’d feared.

The truth shall set you free.

And those people would be idiots.

You’re already over the line without the ball.

It was a bit of a twatish comment.

I know that!

I was there a couple of weeks ago but I'm afraid I can't tell you anything about it, so my post is just a gratuitous display of been-there done-nothing-with-it.

Redeem yourself, give the man a recommendation, since you were just there.

Then maybe the thumbs down parade will cease.

That’s interesting, is it one of them infinite refill glasses or do you pay for each refill?

See it for yourself https://www.eater.com/2016/6/5/11852318/anthony-bourdain-parts-unknown-cologne-germany-recap "5. On how waiters keep track of beers poured by tabulating them on customers' coasters: "I don't like this custom, this [pointing to his coaster]. I don't want to know how many beers I've had."

D’dorf has an interesting clock tower. See if you can figure out what time it is by observing the blinking lights. It is visible from the promenade along the river, best seen at night.

you pay each refill. Tough there are places wehre you can pay once and consume as much as you want to.

Cheers (pardon the pun) it’s the latter one for me then.

Think of the fun you could have swapping coasters with the lightweights in the bar when they visit the John or are distracted by you trying to wipe your beer off their suede jacket.
