Desche Otto turns Honky Tonk (February 2024)

Desche Otto of Louie und Claudia is "ma cantine" (as the Frensch would say), when I am in Frankfurt, Germany. 

See: Mainlust “Desche Otto” – an Ultra Traditional Apple Wine Tavern, with an Innovative Twist, off the Beaten Track in Schwanheim, Frankfurt am Main, Germany 

 

From time to time, the place rocks and rolls. Claudia and Louie like music and have a concert series there.

On Saturday February 16, 2024, Desche Otto turned Honky Tonk, with the Texa House Band playing American country musis. As good as on Lower Broadway in Nashville, Tennessee. In fact, the fiddle-player is an American from Louisiana.

In terms of food, Annette and I liked Willy's Down Home Heringssalat.

In terms of drinks, it was "melange" of House "Apfelwein" in a "Bembel, a German Spätburgunder from Weingut Matthias Gaul and Champagne (Annette).
