The Bamberg Sandkerwa is in full swing, and one of the city's most popular establishments, "Sand & Anders" at Untere Sandstraße 16, is participating in the festivities. The restaurant, known for its lively atmosphere and delicious food, is offering a unique experience this year.

As you walk by, you might notice a sign in the window that asks, "Is Radler Alcohol?" Two cups, one labelled "Yes!" and the other "No!", are placed beside the sign. This playful setup is intended to encourage tipping, according to the bartender, Tom, who initiated this concept.

Tom, a seasoned professional in the industry, has been known to engage in such activities to encourage tipping. He shared that more coins have landed in the "No" cup so far, but he welcomes customers to tip as they please.

The cost of a Seidla at "Sand & Anders" during the Sandkerwa this year is reported by the Franconian Tag (plus). However, if a customer thinks their Radler has too little beer, they can complain in some cases.

In addition to the playful tipping setup, "Sand & Anders" is offering a variety of food options. "Oma's Futterluke" rolls with Leberkäse, Pulled Pork, Klößteigpommes, Obatzder bread to go, and a party in the beer garden are all on the menu.

Before the Sandkerwa, a Bamberg local shared secret tips for party locations with inFranken.de. Among these hidden gems is "Sand & Anders", with its cozy backyards offering drinks and food.

"Sand & Anders" is open every day of the Sandkerwa from 11 am, so be sure to drop by and experience their unique atmosphere. The Bamberg Sandkerwa is taking place on Untere Sandstraße 16, and "Sand & Anders" is just one of the many exciting locations to visit.

An interesting anecdote shared by an employee is that an older lady prefers to add a shot of Schnapps to her beer instead of Limo. It seems that every establishment has its regulars with their own unique quirks!

So, whether you're a local or a visitor, make sure to check out "Sand & Anders" during the Bamberg Sandkerwa. It's a must-visit for a lively atmosphere, delicious food, and a playful take on tipping. Prost!
