Berlin Review: Bull Bar "sneakers and boots"

Bull bar is one of my favourite places - not because the bar is especially nice, but I like the eclectic mix of people who go there, and there is always something interesting to see.

This is Berlin, so at the advertised start time of 9pm the place was pretty empty and didn't get cooking until later on, after 11pm. People seemed to come and go, so there was a constant ebb and flow of new faces.

The night was advertised in one place as a "boots and sneakers" night and elsewhere as "all fetish". This meant that there was a mix of sportswear, motorbike gear, army gear, leather, rubber and casual dress.  It made it quite difficult to ascertain who might be into boots and sneakers, and the only way was to ask and the fail rate was pretty high.

That is, until a very good looking skinhead dressed in skintight Dainese leathers and white Alpinestars Tech 8 motocross boots stole the show as he treated one lucky individual to a good trampling and boot worship session that lasted half the evening - studying the onlookers made it easy to see who was 'interested' and who wasn't so there were a few more sneaker/sock/foot scenes to be had, but it was very hard work.

Being the first evening of the BLF weekend most of the leather crowd stayed away and packed out New Action next door.

Highlight of my evening was a pair of French TNs and football socks :-)
