Meet the Royal Family of Regensburg,
With Albert Von Thurn und Taxis.
With Albert Von Thurn und Taxis.
While they have many concerts and big name stars at the Palace, they have garden shows and of course the lovely Christmas Shows that I love too much. Hope you come and have fun.
Barock Bar in Regensburg has that Classy Speakeasy feeling yet it is hidden right in front of you. Down a little alley opposite the Beautiful Cathedral of Regensburg & dripping in elegance, Barock Bar has a little something for everybody. Located at: Krauterermarkt 2
During the pandemic Thomas said he had tons of time to learn something new & he decided to learn the thought process of serious chess players. "I remembered playing Chess with my father at the age of 5. When I started to play chess during the lockdown at home, I found that there is literally 1,000s of different technical moves to bring you to just that many games.
So, I am at the beginning level of the process after 2 years, yet when my guests sit down at my new chess table in Barock Bar & they have played for many years they seem amazed that I have only learned the last 2 years. I say, yes but that is a very long intense 2 years where I had nothing to do but learn chess!"

I say, yes but that is a very long intense 2 years where I had nothing to do but learn chess!" The bar lends itself to people playing chess at night: the sophistication.
"I love my bar and I am hoping to have in the future people that come specifically to Regensburg to see me, not just to try to find a cocktail bar. I want it to have a great reputation as great cocktails, service and just a classy intimate bar. I hope people that come know cocktails and want to try mine and I appreciate people coming in a little tentatively, too, and feeling comfortable to ask me to help. I love making drinks for people that tell me what they do love in a good cocktail and the things that they don´t like," says Thomas, who along with his partner, Anne, have made Barock the classy 1930s decor bar that it is today."
O & the cocktails are beautiful, too.
WURSTKURCHL REGENSBURG
with the very Charming Andreas as the Boss is always fun.
"If people complain, I say that remember a pig died so that you could eat the sausages today!" says Andrea. So, I don't complain & I ate the 3 sausages. I love the sauerkraut, so I eat that too. 
Andreas joins the table & rolls his eyes, "Well I am not sure if Theo really wants to work on a Saturday, yet he must. His friends are of the "Green party ideaology where they find work pretentious & having never done work ever in their young lives would rather come here, sip coffee & actually eat the sausages & spew their Green theories of life around the world. The windmills & the solar panels: these seem to be okay, but using gas is not & so they spend their precious youth instead of learning a trade such as Theo, formulating high-lofty ideals which are really in dreamland & shall never take fruition." says Andrea. Aaa... we have reached the generation gap! 
PS the wine is very good, too, with me drinking the white wine, & they give you lots of white wine! You can eat the
sausages, & the sauerkraut, & drink all of that very good wine & wander around the town totally complacent, but just wait a couple of hours before venturing near the river as you might fall in & as most people are also drinking the wine they probably won't be so keen to help you as you float down the Danube.

At Hanf im Gluck CBD store in Regensburg you can weigh in the positive results of using their products such as the oil that has been known to reduce inflammation in joints, such as arthritis, the positive effects that could be associated with using the flowers in cooking to reduce stress, the calming effects that people have said they experience from drinking the tea with CBD in it. You can try all here. 
The flowers come in little jars in various flavors & scents & in quantities of 2 grams on up.
KEEP CALM & CARRY ON at HANF im GLUCK CBD Regensburg
When I first met Kilian, the very knowledgeable owner of Hanf im Gluck, I thought he seems like a very nice person, maybe a student at the local university; however, when he starts talking about his business, the promotion & selling of his CBD products, you know he is the boss. He knows all the ins & outs of his product & the regulations of the European Union that decides if Germany is allowed to "graduate" to the higher level of cannabis, which is the THC that is allowed in America, for example. "My products may be able to make you relaxed & could possibly lower anxiety & lower inflammation, such as in arthritis. TCH makes you high. It is the one that gives you the Munchies!" says Kilian when I ask the basic difference. I say that if you are from America you can use THC get the Munchies & come to Kilian's store to buy the CBD cookies.
"People buy the flowers, the most, & the oils for therapy. We have a very high-quality product, which Hanf is known for. The 5 grams is around 61 euros & depending on how much you use, you can purchase 1-2 per month. If it has the lemony scent to it, it has a higher dose of CBD. The higher the percentage, the higher the cost. The seeds can be sprinkled on salads, for instance & don't have any CBD in them at all. They are purely for health reasons. As the lollipops, the same. Yet people love the lollipops. Or the cookies. They do have CBD. Just ask, I am always here to help you decide & to educate you. I have around 8 people who work with me, & they can help you with your questions, too. Everybody always asks, ""what is the difference between THC & CBD." Always,"" laughs Kilian.
"In 9 out of 10 people, the oils reduce inflammation on a long-term basis if used consistently," says Kilian. "However, if you use it a couple of times, you will feel the effect immediately. It is theorized that if you do use it long-term, that it can permanently reduce the inflammation associated with arthritis, for example.
When you reduce the inflammation, you reduce the pain. It is that simple." I say that I want to buy some oil for my mom to try. He says that I should buy her some of the oil, & I tell her that my sister has done that in America. She doesn't use the oil because she thinks it will harm her. It is because she is uneducated about the product & now that I am educated about it, I can perhaps convince her to try.

It is because she is uneducated about the product & now that I am educated about it, I can perhaps convince her to try. That is all it takes: knowledge to reduce fear of "marijuana". So, try the Hanf im Gluck Cookies instead. 
Kilian has cooking products, too. Such as Hanf pesto or spreads. These are the fun products, very inexpensive to try. They have tea, which I totally love & tea relaxes & soothes you anyway, so that coupled with the CBD, Kilian says, helps you even more to feel calm. He has many different forms of the tea such as mild or the full flower, which has more CBD in it. Yet again, just ask Kilian & his team & they can help you. A great gift basket of HANF pesto, some tea & some dessert cookies will run you about 25 to 30 euros & is a very fun gift for that cook or lover of hosting parties to try.
I loved my Cats, Juliette & Augustus, & know how important pets are to people. So, if your pet is in any discomfort there may be positive results from using Hanf im Gluck's CBD products for pets. 
Hanf im Gluck Cookies for the young & older!

Jasmine here says that she only works on Saturday, yet loves the store!
BURGER HEART of Regensburg
Schwarze-Bären-Straße 10
0941 46627330 
The very cool funky BurgerHeart in Regensburg is one of my favorite places to chill with friends, have a great burger(or Canadian fries like my Canadian Friends always insist we try) & a couple of very tall beers! https://www.facebook.com/burgerheart.regensburg/
I know that the 2 brothers that own the
Regensburg location are some of the very nicest & most sincere people that
you will ever meet & I should have known that the person that they chose as
their director from the last 1-1/2 years, Michael Huber, would of course been
the same. Very funny & very cool. He said that it is on his bucket list to
visit America in the very near future & I told him I would write a list of
the must cities to visit on his trip.
“Is 4 weeks a long enough trip to America,
do you think?” he asked me & I said that yes if I am the co-captain. So,
now I must plan a trip for him to visit my country of America & of course
include some very cool Burger places so that he can compare his with ours! Here is the Golden Gomez. 
BurgerHeart is very special, though, with its warm tall wooden tables & comfortable tall stools, its tall 2 story ceilings in its multi-level historical architectural brick space of modern lighting & chrome with 300 year old brick walls. Regensburg is a gorgeous city. Absolutely stunning as it is a Unesco Heritage site for a reason. Yet the food is pretty good here too! When I asked Michael why he thinks they have thrived when some others were not so lucky, he said matter-of-factly, “The products. We have great burgers. Great products, that’s it!”
So, there you have it. Just the very best
burgers that you could possibly hope for! And of course they have very good
German beer & some wild crazy mixtures of the type of Canadian French Fries such as the FRYAN GRETZKY: with different gravies & cheeses & toppings that are definitely not for
the healthy only eating grass types of foodies.
The food here is hearty; hence the name,yet coming a couple days on your vacation to Regensburg while enjoying the German dishes at the traditional restaurants is alright even if at home you stick pretty close to your strict vegetarian, fish & chicken fare. As for the students, they’re very happy to chow down on the 100% beef burgers & drink some beers with friends. The word LOVE is on the walls everywhere at the BurgerHeart & even the name is Heart to Love.
“The people here all pretty much can converse in English,” says Michael, “All of my team can greet you & seat you in English & can make some pretty good hand gestures to guess what you want. The funny thing is that my entire kitchen staff is 100% English fluent, but the wait staff is ½ & ½ with everybody speaking German, of course. I am not sure why all the cooks speak English, though!”
That is pretty funny considering you would
think it would be the other way around! Maybe that feeling of a little bit
silly, a little bit quirky is what makes people feel comfortable & welcome
at BurgerHeart.
Or maybe it is what Michael says, “It’s the burgers. We have really good burgers! During the lockdown & the on again off again closures, we were very lucky in that everybody ordered burgers & fries for delivery. So we had the perfect food for that. Everybody loves ordering burgers.” Of course Suf & Turf is kinda cool.
Yes, I said, yet it certainly helped that they had built such a good reputation before the lockdown so that people already trusted them & knew them. It just shows how well they took care of their guests & how their food was received. The bartenders make very special drinks, too, & I saw quite a few cocktails being brought back & forth from the bar to the tables while I interviewed Michael, in addition to the beers. I asked Michael if he saw many American tourists & he said that yes they had many Americans here & American students which surprised him. He said that they have many Germans, too, which is surprising to me because it isn’t their traditional German Regensburgers or Bratwursts. “Yes, but everybody loves the American culture of cheeseburgers & hamburgers & we have gourmet burgers & that has been a big item in Germany the last 10 years, so it is becoming a adoptive part of the culture.”
It’s very much of interest to me to see
the way we love to try new foods, as Americans, & we find the schnitzels
& the different Nuremburgers & Regensburgers(all of which are long
sausages & small sausages)very cool & eat way too many of these &
the Germans love the burgers. So, it’s a cultural fascination. 
Yeah Dudes has survived the Pandemic & is now a little snack sandwich bar & Western tunes...WAIT! WHAT!? "Yes that is right, you have to do what you have to do to open- If you had a kitchen & you served food you could open, so I made sandwiches & opened & now when it is super busy in here & people start asking for 5 beers & sandwiches & it is only me as the bartender, I say, oops we're out of sandwiches!" Okay. Now it is a cool bar & low time you can have a ham sandwich. Mostly it is a very cool bar with a very friendly vibe. Whiskey & Beer!~
Wow just amazing. Probably the nicest person I have ever met, along with Albert, is Markus of DUDES4, the cool warm and friendly bar on Unter den Schwibbogen 21. I´ve interviewed him 5 times, three years & 3 years later after the pandemic now on a very lovely quiet Thursday, with the Christmas Markets in the background & a young guest at the bar right when he opened I had a very funny time for 1-1/2 hours catching up & trading what did you do the last 3 years. "Well, I learned to love Whiskey & beer together, which is a weird combination, yet I drank a lot of whiskey sitting outside on my house steps with my 2 dogs & girlfriend. My mom would call & ask what are you doing today. You know we're all in lockdown & the police asked for your papers if you went in the streets, so I am like, okay, what am I doing? I am drinking whiskey sitting on my steps. She got very worried that I drank too much Whiskey. Are you drinking too much whiskey again? Yes, mom that is all there is to do." We start laughing. 
I tell him that my big sister, Toni, joined the wine of the month club, received 5 wines, drank a glass from each & would give these to me. I bought 2 bottles of wine a week at my local farm town where my mom lives & my mom would tell me that the people in the farm town would start talking about me if I kept it up. I was like, okay, mom, they're farmers. They probably make their own moonshine in home stills, I'm sure that I am just a light weight. Although with my sister's contributions & my own, I had 7 bottles at once sometimes in my refrigerator. So, she was right a little bit.
And now that he is working all the time, Markus doesn't sit on the steps all day.
As a matter of fact,the kind unassuming boss, Markus says, "The first couple of months starting the day we opened the doors to April, were so busy I couldn't keep up. We had only a couple people helping out because there just isn't any staff anywhere in Europe, so I had to do bartending, bouncer, server-it all. It is alright because we are a casual easy-going bar. 
"It is a select menu, not so big, and definitely French with the entire card being my signature. I would love to think that the guests come because of me, and that is true since sometimes they say, "Where is the chef, Stephane?" Although my team can make any item on my menu and present it the way that I do since I have trained each of the chefs, the guests still complain! "We want Stephane as the chef. So, I try not to show my face in the kitchen!" he laughs at that. "My team is very good." 
"The range of beef we have is of the highest quality in the world, such as U.S. Beef from Nebraska(Omaha), Wagyu, Fassona, Irish Hereford, Mittelmeerfische und Krustentiere. The prices reflect that too!" laughs the Master Chef and owner, Mattia. "I am always surprised when people make reservations and say that they are driving 70 kilometers or more just to eat dinner here. The guests know the beef type that they want and the weight in grams every time. They are very educated when it comes to my menu. I guess when you pay that much you probably know what you are eating!" ps...Kobe Wagyu Beef can come to 1,000 euros per kilo! Enjoy! 
Kreutzer´s is to Regensburg as Mortons is to New York and Chicago along with the famous Chop House in Chicago, or Smith & Wollensky in London. The highest quality of beef available in a elegant beautiful restaurant.
Does Mattia eat Wagyu Kobe steak everyday? He laughs, "About once in a while, I love it, yet it is a very deep rich meat, so if you have it one day the next you can choose something different since we have lobster and prawns and great seafood, too, that we grill over the charcoal grills, that is what we are famous for. There is only about 10 places in Germany that have the charcoal grills. Kreutzer´s is famous for the charcoal grill and the best meat. And I hope that they are entertained with me as I prepare it for the guests!""You know it takes many years to earn a respected reputation such as we have at Kreutzers," starts the funny interview with the head Boss, Mattia. "I have had my restaurant in Regensburg 30 years and of the last 8 here at the location at Prinz-Ludwig-Strasse 15. Every year I strive for perfection and to find around the world the rarest and the best meat. I believe the website shows the quality that we have and you can judge for yourself." 
"My brewery is a local one named, Eichhofener with lager helles, pils, hopfengarten(craft bier), dunkles, festbier and leichtes helles. It is a good beer, one of the best local ones and here you can have from 2.80 to 3.40. I think that is a very good price and although I don´t´do fancy cocktails, it is a bar, I have good Gin, Rum and Whiskey." he says. And by the way, you can do Jack Daniels on the rocks for only 5.00euros!
As we chat, Christoph takes a huge bag of peanuts and pours the peanuts in a big silver bucket, and he just puts huge piles right on the bar. "Food!" he says laughing. I try a couple of peanuts and he says, "just throw the peanuts on the floor!" Okay!
LOCATED AT
RED ROOSTER ALLEY 8 aka Roter Hahn 8 https://www.facebook.com/.../Bar/Apotheke-348835588525848/
"I have peanuts. If you want food, there is pizza and kabob and traditional Bavarian food within 3 minutes right outside the door. People come here to drink and throw the peanuts on the floor!"
The charming cafe is open to the Public and situated right opposite the lovely Palace of the Thurn und Taxis and as you can see they have real great sweets! 
In the 1980s, Princess Gloria thew a ball for her husband, the Prince,the likes that had never been seen before or since, and rumor has it when she descended the grand stairway in the Palace with a 2 foot high powered white wig of Marie Antionette, the 500 guests had a moment of silenced awe...the real story of Marie Antionette is Archduchess Marie Antoinette was the 15th child and the last child of Holy Roman Emperor Francis I and the powerful Habsburg Empress Maria Theresa. At the time of the marriage Marie Antionette was only 14 years old when she married the futuer King Louis XVI, and the real reason was for political aspirations of forming a alliance between the enemies Austria and France from the 7 years war.
With the offer of the hand of the littlest child from the reigning French King, Dauphin Louis-Auguste, the alliance is formed! 
If it is the first day of you trying German Food in Regensburg, I hope you come here.
German food is always known as Bratwurst or sauerkraut , yet here at the Cafe you can try some items that are not associated with making sour faces! 
Emmeramspl. 6, 93047 Regensburg, Allemagne
The Cafe is named Antionette, as in Marie Antionette, and since my sister happens to be named that I love the cafe and the family of Thurn und Taxis. That is when I am not falling over concrete posts near the Christmas Mercatos as I run to chase Albert aka Austin Powers, or trip down the stairs or fall flat on my face on the cobblestones. Yet he is real cute and thus far worth it! 
ORANGE BAR REGENSBURG Daniel Jacobs, the architect who says, "the Orange bar is my love and my hobby you could say." owns the funky Orange Bar in Regensburg Germany. "I have had it since 2006 and rarely am here at night now since I work in the day, yet a couple of times a month I come and have fun in my bar and actually work here. Everyday when I open the doors of the Orange Bar, I smile. I love the Austin Powers and flower child era and that is totally the Orange Bar." located at Keplerstraße 3
http://www.orange-bar-regensburg.de/
When we chatted on the December 22, a young college aged crowd soon wandered in. "It is usually that way on a Friday and Saturday, as the students seem to love the bar and either stay at home drinking til midnight and then go to a Dance Club in Regensburg, or come here and talk a couple of hours, listening to the music and just being in a casual atmosphere. The bar is supposed to be a place where you can feel comfortable. My drinks are cheap compared to most places and it is really about the feeling of the Orange Bar, I guess that brings the people here. I have people of all ages, too. From 18 to 65!" laughs Daniel. 
About 15 minutes and here come two gorgeous 40 year old women with coiffed hair and dressed to the nines sitting at the bar ordering more exotic sophisticated drinks! About 5 minutes later, here come 4 business men laughing and ordering mojitos at their table. Very eclectic and very cozy with just the right touch of cool Austin Powers decor and light soft modern music.

"We have the highest quality of local products. That is a must for me. I try to promote and use the local farmers and I insist on the highest quality. Good quality does not come cheap. We do have a student menu and a special tester menu at lunch everyday for only 7.20 euros. That is to introduce the slow cooking food to the guests. At night it is known at Leerer Beutel as being a elegant and romantic restaurant with lighted candles everywhere.
"It is a good combination of the fun of the jazz," says Winny, the owner of the coolest restaurant and jazz studio in Regensburg. Bertoldstraße 9 located at.

Rehorik Coffee "I have a new store right opposite the Rehorik Cafe where I give espresso lessons," sazs Heiko on December 13. "And we teach people how to use the coffee machines that we have in the store. They can be very expensive coffee making machines, for instance they start about $3,000.00 to $16,000.00. That is the big one!" he laughs and shows me the cool espresso makers. "We give lessons how to make each type of coffee and we give you lessons on how to make the flowers and the fancy pictures that you see barristers do. We sometimes have from 20 to 24 people in the classes. They love it."
My father is the cheese guy," says Heiko laughing. "I know it sounds funny, yet that is his love. And me, I take after my Great Grandfather since I truly love the roaster process of the beans. I love the therapy, the smell of the beans, the sound and the entire process and it is me that travels around the world meeting with the coffee farmers."

"O yes, my fellow at the Rehorik Store on
Gesandtenstraße 16 is like family to me. He is the only one that works at that store," laughs Heiko, who after 4 generations is the one and only Rehorik that is still actively working.
"The legend is that in the early 1500s, the circus came to town. The innkeeper of the restaurant, The Brandl Bear, had to protect his restaurant. The bear owner came and tried to steal the restaurant owner's money and had the bear with him. The bear reared up and attacked the bear owner and chased the robber away! The Innkeeper and owner of the Brandl Bear decided to chain the bear outside the restaurant to scare away robbers. I guess it worked and hence the name." says Muk. I ask if it is true and he gives a mischievious smile, "It is as the legend says it is."
UM....THE PIG DIDN'T FARE SO WELL
"Of course I love my job. I get to work with the most precious gems in the world and usually I can create my own vision of the gem´s best fitting. It is real fun to work with Mr. Mulbacher and I would definitely say that we are a great team here, " says the Master Goldsmith of Mulbachers! 
And I especially love the Kasper Bar one and two, although honestly with 150 specialty bars hidden and tucked down cobblestoned alleys, some with live music every night, you are sure to find a favorite! 
With young bartenders, cool music and great cocktails, Kasper has been a favorite of the youth of Germany in Regensburg many years. Hope you love it.!
