pub
A simple, cozy establishment where you can mainly order alcoholic drinks, especially beer, and where small dishes are often also offered.
Lass uns heute Abend auf ein Bier in unsere Stammkneipe gehen.
Let's go to our regular pub for a beer tonight.
Pay attention to the correct preposition and case. If you are going toward a pub, you use 'in die Kneipe' (accusative). If you are already there, you say 'in der Kneipe' (dative).
Wir gehen heute Abend in die Kneipe an der Ecke.
We're going to the pub on the corner tonight.
Common verbs are 'in die Kneipe gehen' (to go to the pub) or 'sich in der Kneipe treffen' (to meet at the pub). A very common word is also 'die Stammkneipe' (regular pub), which describes the pub you visit regularly.
Jeden Freitag treffen wir uns in unserer Stammkneipe.
Every Friday we meet at our regular pub.
The word 'Kneipe' is used for more traditional, simple, and cozy establishments. The atmosphere is usually informal, and the focus is on drinks like beer.
