Tawandang German Brewery




























For Halloween night, we went to Tawandang German Brewery in Bangkok. The wait staff was generally dressed up (witches, vampires, ghosts, and the Joker seemed to be the themes), which fit right in to the general eclectic nature of the place. It's a brewpub shaped like a barrel that seats 1000+ serving German style beers brewed on the premises and catering mostly Thai food and a few Thai style German dishes to constant entertainment (gamelan orchestra, dixiland jazz, lounge acts) and karaoke. The staff behind the bar spent the whole time filling tube shaped towers of beer and carrying them like rifles to the various tables.

The food pictured - Thai spiced pork knuckle, deep fried morning glory, extra long crab-filled spring rolls.

Here's a link to their site - a quick internet search will also give you some youtube videos and such - you sort of have to see it to believe it.

Oh, and the beer was good (the lager was actually the most notable of the three - I prefer more hops than these sweeter German styles), but man did the atmosphere work.
