most other places charge you either a fee for the room (up to couple hundred euros), or alternatively require you to pay the difference to a minimum amount of money that your guests have to consume, which again can go up in the hundreds of euros.

benno is different in that you tell them how many people you expect, and then have to give them an equal amount of euros - so for 20 guests, you give them 20 euros - and this money you get back if a decent amount of people actually do come.

if the event is even more short notice, e.g. on the same day, they don't care about the money at all anymore.

i could always get enough tables for a big party, even extremely short term, even for up to 60 people - something that's impossible with the bigger breweries of the town.

downsides:
- food is nothing special, maybe even bland
- if you have your party there, remember you can't choose your music. it's all just one music system, and they choose the songs.

i haven't eaten a better salad *evar*.

so in the summer days, when i was really hungry, i used to first go to zanoni-zanoni to get some icecream, and then head over to figlmueller (just 20 meters away) to eat the vogerlsalat mit kartoffelsalat. don't ask why it always was this order, and not icecream as dessert - i guess i like the salad better than the icecream.

another important note for vegetarians: there is a soup mentioned in the menu, something like "kartoffelsuppe", which has ham in it - don't order it ;)

been living next to this place for 7 years and been there only 3 or 4 times.. but if you like goth or metal you can get really lucky there..

in that spirit, beer (at least on some evenings) is only 2e..

order one, and make your whole family happy. yay!

i hate how long it takes them to cook their stuff :D

actually, this is the right place to go to if you really need to get your belly filled up..

You can always go there and get yummy icecream; as far as i remember, the opening hours are from 7:30 am to midnight. yay!
