Etiquette Guidelines for Beer Gardens, Cafes, and Co.: What You Should and Shouldn't Do - Guidelines for Enjoying Your Visit at Beer Garden, Café & Co.
Let's Chat about Food and Fun: The Ins and Outs of Socializing in Beer Gardens, Cafes, and More
- *
As the weather warms up, city streets are filled with folks lounging in cafes, beer gardens, and restaurants. But what are the rules to play by? Here's some friendly advice.
Sunshine Dilemma
Luisa Hahn, director of the "Deidesheimer Hof," stresses the importance of tolerance. "It's all about understanding that some people prefer sunbathing, while others crave the shade," she explains. Be mindful of the sun umbrellas, as they can only move up or down one at a time. And remember, these places are cozy spots with limited space, so everyone may not get exactly what they want when it comes to seating arrangements.
Comedian Christian "Chako" Habekost urges everyone to pack an umbrella – for sun protection. "When the temperature soars, even the shadiest spots can get taken. Nobody wants to deal with a heatstroke during their alfresco dining experience!" he adds.
Mind Your Manners, but Don't Be Buzzed
"The main issue is always the condition of the patrons when they arrive at the restaurant," says Gereon Haumann, president of Dehoga Rhineland-Palatinate. Often, hiking groups or bachelor parties rock up, "in high spirits and already quite buzzed." However, most people are generally well-behaved.
Chako Habekost encourages patrons to suppress any grudge-bearing tendencies. "Communication with your fellow humans is essential – especially in these outdoor settings," he grins.
Embrace the Elements, Stay Patient
Adopting a bit of empathy goes a long way, according to Luisa Hahn. "Just a tad of patience – considering the staff need to cover more ground for the outdoor area – ensures that every visit will be an enjoyable one." She also acknowledges that cranky babies or boisterous kids can throw a wrench in the experience. But she urges guests to keep in mind that many cafes and restaurants are kid-friendly, and everyone – young and old – is vital to the establishments’ future.
Obnoxious secondhand smoke can swiftly souresp the joy of outdoor dining. "Smoking rules vary by venue, but always aim to make others feel at ease by considering their comfort," advises Haumann.
Sunnies, Cash, and Fun
Chako Habekost advises bringing sunnies to avoid the German sun-blinded look. He also suggests being cautious about ordering drinks based on their appearance rather than your taste preferences. "You never know who's mixing the drinks behind the bar," he jokes.
