The German Club

Quite possibly my favourite drinking establishment in Brisbane is the
Getman Club. In existence since the late nighteenth century, and
established as a meeting place for early settlers of German origin,
the GC is a fine watering hole.

Yes the beer may be on the pricey side - $8.50 for a Weihenstephaner -
but this is quality imported German brew, brewed in accordance to the
Reinheitsgeboot (Sp?) and is for half a litre.

Opposite the 'Gabba, it also offers a convenient pre game meeting
place. Shunning the decor of trendy bars, and foresaking thumping
tunes for the Bavarian influenced delights of 'Andrew', the GC is a
good venue for some like minded fellows to get together and discuss
football, bridges and 'Allo 'Allo. I for one love it!
