Off-season GTG at Mecklenburg Gardens

[Jim_75Sahara]

Last January we got together at Mecklenburg Gardens Restaurant near the University of Cincinnati campus. This event will be repeated due to popular demand. In one form or another, MG has been around since Deutsch was the most common language in Zinzinnati.... If you'd like to talk BMWs, dine on German food and have a beer or three, you should join us on January 7th, 2017 at 6:30 PM. The address is:  302 E. University Avenue, Cincinnati, OH 45219. We had great luck last year, the weather was unseasonably warm that evening.

Can't wait! Last year was a blast.

REMINDER:  This event is coming up in less than a month. Let me know if you will be attending, so I can make our reservation.  I'll post a reminder on the RGB Facebook page also.

I will make a reservation for 12 - 15 people. Looking forward to seeing everyone! - - - - - - The reservation is under the Rivertown Gearbusters name, NOT Rivertown Beer Bastards... Ha!  (6:30PM)  I made a reservation for 16 people.... we shall see how many show up, but that's a good guess right now....

See the post on Facebook. I am polling folks to see where we should hold next January's off-season dinner gtg. I have always liked MG, but this year we ran into a few issues. There were too many beers AWOL from the beer list, the menu had been changed. Quite a few menu items weren't available for some reason. The food was delivered to the table in a rush and not even hot. For a Saturday night, the place was not very busy. (Sinking ship?) We like having he Highland Coffee House catty-corner to the place, but an alternate location is being considered... I welcome your ideas.

 

Hey, Larry Gray, I didn't see you there. What happened?

[Jim_75Sahara]

So far, I am leaning toward either The Amber Rose restaurant in Dayton or Moerlein Lager House in Cincinnati. I would also like to check out Kreimer's Bier Haus on the western side of Cincinnati.  KBH is the only one that I've never been to yet. I should be able to check out KBH tomorrow (Friday, 1-27). I talked to Erin, the banquet manager of the restaurant on the phone already.

Jim, et. al.,

 

Sorry I could not make it, after promising I would be there.  Missed you guys.  I was roped into teaching a 3-day non-car-related workshop which had to take priority.  Thanks for missing me!  

 

Good to see you at The Museum, Jim.

 

Larry

 

PS:  Got it back!

Kreimer's Bier Haus  will be the site of our next Off-Season Dinner/GTG. There is a private banquet room on the lower level that I have reserved for 1-13-18. Just off of that room is a patio with a fire pit. The banquet room is large and includes a fire place and a big screen TV. I had lunch at KBH last Friday. I was impressed with their energy level and the food was good. It would also be fun to gather there during warmer weather since they have a lot of space outside with at least two outdoor bars and various spots with tables and chairs from which to watch the river pass by... 

It is located in Cleves which is on the west side of Cincinnati. KBH is along route 128 just off of I-74.
