Die AUSGABE.
Tucked into a century-old kiosk on Porzellangasse, Die AUSGABE breaks every convention. Here, unpretentious stand-up culture meets natural wine, public discourse, and urban zeitgeist.
„Die AUSGABE versteht sich als Insel inmitten des städtischen Treibens, als Oase des zwischenmenschlichen Ausnahmezustandes, als neutraler Ort, an dem debattiert werden kann. Und gustiert. Deshalb reichen wir gepflegte Achterl, kühles Bier und allerlei Schmankerl aus vornehmlich Regionalem über die Budel. Teils traditionell, teils unkonventionell und experimentell.“
