I think it's called a Rauchkneipe, which is like the smoking bar.

You can do that in the UK.

A German described it to me that in Berlin there's one in every neighbourhood.

There's always something as well.

It's a smoking bar, but also you can get a haircut or something.

There's a strange combination of, yeah, uptight communist might be the best way to describe people in Berlin.

very easy going but they're all shouting at me because one of their rules that I didn't know put my washing machine on on Sunday I'm sorry we're all the same except be more like me I went to a bar whilst on tour with Sam from the Anfield Raps band Married to the Sea Sam who does the video for this by the way so me and him lived in a flat on Smithdown Road for a long time and I drove their van around Germany we went to a bar in Weimar

which I don't remember what it looked like on the outside, but I remember drinking for a really, really long time.

In fact, it was the night Barack Obama got elected for the first time to give it some context.

I think one of the other things I like and the Edinburgh off Picton Road is another one where it's like there's a mysterious lock-in happening here.

It's happening all around us and it has been for a while and with drunkenness I didn't realise.

The Edinburgh's one is fantastic.

It used to be anyway.

I don't know if it's illegal now.

It's under new ownership.

So they may not be doing it.

Who knows?

Probably not but it was years ago anyway that you'd know the lock-in had started because they'd put an ashtray on the table.
