Several months ago, Bill and I were in the charming city of Nagold when I noticed what looked like a fake German beach. It had sand, beach chairs, umbrellas, tables, and a large bar area.
Summer was coming and obviously this was meant to resemble a beach bar for landlocked beach loving southern Germans. At the time I noticed it, I made a mental note to come back and try the fake beach bar. We finally made it to Anker Beach yesterday afternoon. From what I could tell on their Facebook page, though Anker Beach has been in Nagold for four summers, it will not be back next year.
I wonder how many people have actually paid attention to these directions helpfully laid out in diagrams. It was kind of an overcast afternoon and the temperatures were a bit cooler than they have been recently.
Bill and I took a seat on cushionless outdoor couches and started enjoying the last day of the Anker Beach Bar in Nagold…. There were lots of dirty ashtrays, too. This was the drink menu. You could order whole bottles of vodka or gin if you wanted, albeit at steep prices. After some time, more people started showing up. I finally tried an Aperol spritz. It reminded me of fizzy orange Kool-Aid. This next drink was very good… and very, very potent.
All in all, though, the strandbar was a bit sad yesterday. We finally left as the sun was starting to sink. It was called Burg. The food turned out to be very good. Bill checks out the menu… He had salmon and I had trout. My trout came with this salad, which was very fresh and delicious. Bill and I shared it. This trout was sinfully delicious. It tasted like it had come straight from the river and was cooked in butter.
