Hard wood floors, raw pine tables and wooden beams across the ceiling. But each of the times I've had to sit with others, that fact has been almost imperceptible. The other parties are seated as far away at the bench as is physically possible, and the place is loud enough that you don't feel as though you're actually sharing space and conversation with the other parties. Now I can see how someone can live on nothing but beer and bread. German bread is a lunch unto itself.
German beer is a tasty and filling dinner.
So that's two of your daily meals right there. Never having been to Germany, I can't vouch for this stuff, but the beer and bread they have at Suppenkuche are both pretty damn good. They've got about a dozen or so real German beers on tap. None of them are Heineken. The bread comes in two or three varieties.
