Verein saves Waller Kult pub Karo: A new chapter begins!

Reuterstraße 9, 28217 Bremen, Deutschland - In Walle something is stirring! The legendary music pub Karo has received a new chance thanks to its loyal fan base and a committed team. After the unexpected death of Michael "Thielo" Thiel, the operator of the Karo, on New Year's Eve in 2023, the future of the popular pub remained uncertain. But friends, employees and guests joined together and founded an association to continue the cane. This reports the Weser-Kurier .

founded the caro was originally "Kafé Karo" in 1983, and was one of the first punk and wave pubs in the west of Bremen. For over 40 years, the restaurant has been a important common room for guests between the ages of 20 and 70. What started as a simple pub project has developed over the years into a meeting point for many who are not only looking for a glass of beer, but also good music and exciting events. It now offers opening times, concerts, Sunday crime scene broadcasts and monthly blues events every day from 7 p.m.

a revival of the caro

Already 17 days after Thiel's death, the Karo resumed its business on January 18, 2024. With a new club that runs the business, bureaucratic hurdles are mastered to secure the restaurant's concession. Katja Kähler and Britta Surhoff, long -time employees, are closely connected to the caro and bring a breath of fresh air to the tradition of the house.

The success story of the caro is not only thanks to the good food and concerts, but also the unique atmosphere. The walls are decorated with decorations and concert posters that preserve the punk character of the restaurant. The caro remains true to its roots, while it develops at the same time and adapts to the needs of today's guests.

a meeting point for the neighborhood

The caro is not only characterized by its music, but also by the possibility of renting the restaurant for private occasions such as weddings. This type of flexibility shows that the caro is not only a place for spontaneous pub evenings, but also a central component of social life in Walle. The operators receive consistently positive feedback and want to receive the caro not only as a pub for others, but also for themselves.

What makes the caro unique is the varied story that goes back until the late 1970s when a collective acquired the house at Reuterstrasse 9 and founded the Technoopoop. This cooperative community was the only alternative pub in the west of Bremen and made the caro a popular meeting place for many. The career from Kafé Karo to today's music pub is reflected in the lively culture that lives on here.

Speaking of cultural diversity: In addition to the Karo, there are numerous alternative pubs in Bremen, such as Connection, Gondi and the guest field, all of which have their own special offers. This enriches social life in the city and consolidates the role of the Karo as one of the most important places in Bremen's nightlife.

For everyone who has not yet been in the caro or who want to remember the good old days, there is now another reason to stop by there. The pub lives and hits a new chapter that will certainly bring many surprises!
