Disgusting or not, it is a very common concoction poured in the local German Gahsthaus like Zum Herrin Ghiest (The Man's Ghost) which was about 1/2 a mile (stumbling home distance) from my off-base house in Germany!!!  The Teens seemed to favor it!

Hello All,

I am headed to Vegas for the week and wanted to track down a German restaurant that I used to frequent. Unfortunately I can't remember the name but I do remember that it was in a little strip mall behind a Marie Callanders restaurant.

Anyone have any idea of the place I am looking for? Name? Location?

Thanks

Steve

PS: May, I look forward to meeting you :)

Thanks for the info. Sad to hear they are closed. They had much better food than Hofbrauhause.

Hofbrauhause is definitely a fun place though.

Thanks again.

Yes, the Heidelberg Cafe.  It was small, but a favorite place of mine.

I believe they are closed for good, not just temporarily.

I was stationed in Germany for a few years and loved the cooking there.  It is always unbelieveable to me that there are no good German Restaurants in Vegas.   The Hofbrauhaus is better than nothing now and then but, really, its just a Tourist Trap and the food isn't that good.  For a city that has EVERYTHING, I just don't get it.

The closing of Heidelberg Cafe is the second really good German restaurant to have closed in the last 10 years or so.  There was one, I believe it was The Alpine Haus, located across from the LVH on Paradise that was really awesome.

The Hofbrau is more of a party place.  I have had fun there.

.... if you look close you get a look at it (and a good look at Jill St John) in the 007 Flic 'Diamonds Are Forever' filmed mostly in Vegas.

That's right.  I noticed that.  When they were stopped at that gas station.

there's a new one called Cafe Berlin on Decatur just north of 215.  I have not been there so I can't say how it is but the website makes it look decent at least.

That's a shame. I loved the food there. One of the best German restaurants I have found.

I agree about Hoffbrauhaus. Fun to go once or twice but the food is not stellar.

Thanks Everyone for the response.

I have not been to the Cafe Berlin.  I checked out their website and looked at the beer selection.  There is a rather poor variety.  They also offer a drink of beer mixed with coke.  No self respecting German would desecrate beer like that.

except thats exactly what Germans do.  Per the ole Wiki...usually they use sprite or 7up but coke too...

In Germany, lager beer mixed with cola is called a Diesel, Colabier, or Gespritzter, with several regional differences in name and composition:
Hefeweizen mixed with cola is called a Colaweizen.
Weißbier mixed with cola is called a Flieger (Aviator), Neger (Negro), or Turbo.
Pilsner or Altbier and cola is a Diesel or Krefelder.
A Brummbär (grouch) is stout or porter mixed with cola.
An Altbier Cola is made with Altbier, cola, and a shot of Kirsch.
A Greifswalder, a popular shandy in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, is made with Köstritzer (a type of dark lager) mixed with cola.
