Two "must visit" pubs in Berlin!

Belfry (Bell Tower)
A tower containing one or more bells, typically part of a church, is a bell tower; attached to a city hall or other civic building, it is usually named belfry; the occasional free standing one may be referred to by its Italian name, campanile. Such towers are now rarely constructed but are kept primarily for their historic value. 

The word belfry comes from Old French berfrei which is derived from Germanic bergan "to protect" and frithuz "peace"; that is, it was originally a watch tower providing protection against hostile incursions. These towers usually contained an alarm bell or bells, thus Middle English speakers thought berfrei had something to do with bells: they altered it to belfry, an interesting example of the process of folk etymology. Today's Dutch belfort seems to combine the bell with the stronghold.

Welcome to a little piece of Britain in the heart of Oslo!

With it's warm athmosphere, Belfry is the place where Brits come to relax and basically be - you guessed it - Brits

As explained by Wikipedia: "International perceptions of the British broadly revolve around their politeness and reserved nature. The British are a diverse, multicultural society, with strong regional accents, expressions and identities".

The description above doesn't necessarily apply to "our" Brits. Politeness? Yes, definitely! Sort of.... At the bar, a "please" and a "thank you" go a long way. Reserved? Well, not so sure. If you've been in on a Friday night, you'll know what I mean.

Apart from the occasional sing-along, we can offer a variety of activities, such as quiz nights and sporting events. You can watch football, rugby, cricket and other major events on two big screens and additional TV's throughout the facilities.

Thursday nights are quiznights. Kick-off at 20.00. A few simple rules apply; no more than 4 to a team (i.e. you can be as many as you want, but only 4 prizes will be handed out to the winning team), no mobile phones and no cheating. 50 questions ranging from anagrams to music, sports and general knowledge. Best seats go first, so gather your friends and grab a table. Have a bite to eat while you wait and the evening's a success!
