Well what can I say this place is FANTASTIC !

We went there on Thursday 3 of us courtesy of Tenerife Marketing Visions.

We arrived at 7.30 and were welcomed by the very friendly staff all dressed in ladyhozen and buxom wench outfits. They were ALL smiling, welcoming and upbeat which put an instant satisfaction to the evening. We had our photos taken with the staff with their amusing, flamboyant personalitites and mock German accent.

We then moved on through where I believe the owner took our tickets and again was very friendly!!

The tables are laid out in lines and the drinks are already set out ready. A member of staff greeted us and asked us where we would like to sit, she then went on to suggest we sat in a certain spot in "Leichmistein" which was the centre of the 'Alpine Hut'......

She then (still smiling) brought us our 2 pint stein which is a giggle in itself as they are so heavy to hold and give the evening a real 'unique' german theme!

We had a choice of white wine, red wine, beer (Reina which is one of the best Canarian beers !), orange, lemonade, water... all to hand on the table and we did not ONCE need to ask for our drinks to be topped up or replenished as the staff were so efficient they almost help you drink it !!

Then the show starts when everyone is settled....... WOW ! The main lead Yohan is hilarious, his facial expressions, mock German accent, subtle risque humour has you in sitches but it is not over the top and is more than suitable for families !

The girls are dressed and look impecable and seemed to have a constant smile on their faces. The main singer is Heidi has the most amazing voice and it send shivers down your spine!

The other girls are also fantastic singers and they all manage to keep their German accents even when they serve you drinks and food.

The show flows well and they work with the audience without forcing themselves on you too much.

You leave with your mouth aching as if your not laughing at Yohan you are amazed with the singing, show, dancing and then to forget the excellent knife throwing show.

I think they were called Destiny and they look great along with being very entertaining and cringeworthy...... I had to cover my eyes a few times !! They also add humour to the show asking a willing contestant to take to the stage ..... but I won't spoil it for you as to what they do!

They have a "Yodel Idol" theme mixed in with the show and it i very funny when people get involved in the Yodel competition.

One of the main features of the show is the area in which you sit... you have a choice between "Leichmistein" "Spankasse" "Butzfeld". Which people find humorous!! They then generate a sense of competition between your areas and the rivalry gets the place buzzing with people cheering, chanting, booing and boozing away for their area.

One of Yohans main laugh is he gets everyone to always answer 'Ja' to him which the more you have to drink the more you answer to everything 'JA!' The more you drink the more sway your glasses in the air in beat to the music and they there is the food !

We did not get sausages but we were not disappointed the manager was helping to serve the food with his staff and was happy to tell you what was in the home made food.

We had a choice between Beef Ale Stew, Chicken in garlic and mushroom, or just plain chicken. Then there was a choice of chips, canarian potatoes, coleslaw, salad and bread. The food could be seen being prepared and cooked in the open kitchen and it there was a constant replenish of hot, fresh food.

The order in which you are served means that the night flows very well and there is a real sense of organisation, and it also means people do not get impatient and are not stood or sat around waiting !

We can not stress how friendly, efficient and enthusiastic the staff are ! They really made the night and there was a great atmosphered in the 'Alipne Lodge' Ja !

Well reccommended as a couple, in a group or for a family fun night, we took along a friend who is a resident of the island for some years and she was very impressed and can not wait to take all her friends and family.

Would go again and again and not get fed up.... it also only cost 5e in a taxi up there although free travel is provided on Sundays I believe !

GET YOURSELVES ALONG AND HAVE A GREAT EVENING!!
