Schwarze Pumpe

Nice food, nice beer

A very nice place to have a beer or two and one of its delicious dishes. It's small and cosy and I totally adore the painting of sweating workers operating furnaces on one of its walls as it perfectly fits the atmosphere of this charming Lokal.

Came for the all-you-can-eat-for-4.50 breakfast, and it's pretty disappointing. A sad little spread of food and an apfelschorle that just isn't trying very hard. The scrambled eggs are okay, but I'll be leaving a little less happy than when I arrived. Though to be fair, I'm definitely less hungry. Guess I got what I paid for.

There are two outcomes when making käsespätzle:

1. A vibrant, molten, soft delight perfumed with a hint of cheese and fried onions

Or

2. Flour and water extruded and boiled combined with separated and congealed animal’s lactose heated to the point where the molecules start vibrating and spinning.

At Schwarze Pumpe you partake of the former and get winked at by Bavaria. Hey, don’t bother me, I’m eating.

On a liquid note, they serve Rosen Pils. Hey, don’t bother me, I’m drinking.

Two out of two.

Update:
If Mexico invaded Germany (It could happen) they’d sign the armistice over a bowl of Chili Con Carne here.
Excuse me, my nose is running.

great bar never too packed with a german food menu that is simple and hearty. a nice spot for a quiet drink.
