Get to know pub!

We have turned back the clock, the leaves have fallen, and that freak, but beautiful, snow has melted. What better to do on a grey and windy Thursday, but to drink with your AVETH friends, or make some new ones! We are going to move to a different district this month, Central is so September style anyway, and check out Devi’s Pearl Bar. With a name like that, how could we go wrong? Check it out on google maps before you head out, this one is located right by a train station, so an S-Bahn might be an awesome idea too, but don’t get the wrong idea, it is definitely not far!

See you there!
