Der S-Bahnhof Wedding wird von der Ringbahn wieder angefahren. Wir nutzen die Gelegenheit und schauen mal wieder beim Magendoktor vorbei. Wichtig, wird sind im Wedding, beachtet das bei der Routenplanung. Nehmt den Ausgang, der nicht(!) zur U-Bahn führt, der Magendoktor ist direkt unterhalb der S-Bahn. Wer mit der U-Bahn anreist, geht über den S-Bahnhof für einen kurzen Weg. Ruppig, urig, mit Billard, einer Musikbox und günstigen Preisen, kann man sich hier gut aufhalten. Geraucht wird hier nicht mehr. Plätze kann man nicht reservieren, wir stellen Schilder für euch auf und organisieren uns in eine Ecke. Zu unseren Events kommen ca. 20-25 Leute regelmäßig. Wir treffen uns jede Woche an einem anderen Ort. Wer das erste Mal dabei ist, kommt gern ein paar Minuten später, damit die Gruppe sich sammeln kann. Wie kommt ihr hin?

Der Sprachklub bietet einen Raum, um Russisch in entspannter und freundlicher Atmosphäre zu sprechen. Die Treffen ermöglichen nicht nur, vorhandene Kenntnisse zu festigen, sondern auch den Wortschatz durch lebendige Gespräche, spannende Themen und kulturelle Veranstaltungen zu erweitern. Hier hat jeder die Möglichkeit, neue interessante Menschen kennenzulernen, eigene Erfahrungen zu teilen, und mehr über die russische Kultur zu erfahren. Februar ist der Monat, in dem in Berlin alles rund ums Kino kreist. Passend dazu widmet sich das bevorstehende Treffen des Sprachklubs dem Thema „Kino“. Der Abend lädt dazu ein, über Lieblingsfilme und bevorzugte Filmgenres zu sprechen und gleichzeitig einen näheren Einblick in das russische Kino zu erhalten.

This class is built to push. Expect slow, high-tension movements that challenge your muscles to the point of fatigue — where the real change happens. Mega Shakes targets full-body strength, stability, and muscular endurance using the Lagree method’s signature time-under-tension approach. It’s low-impact but high-intensity — meaning your joints get a break while your muscles do not. Every session is designed to build functional resilience, not just temporary “burn.” You’ll leave feeling strong, capable, and a little humbled in the best way. !!! ALL FIRST-TIMERS MUST BE 15 MINUTES, RETURNING CUSTOMERS AT LEAST 5 MINUTES EARLY & NO TRAINING WITHOUT GRIP SOCKS !!! THANK YOU. ❤️ **Les Amis** is a women-only community of friendly souls. We provide access to hundreds of experiences that explore your passions and connect you with other event participants. **Check our website to learn more, and apply to join our community and events**: [lesamis.cc/apply](https://www.lesamis.cc/apply)

Give it a try!” - Brenda "It’s a wonderful experience, it’s like being a kid again, when you were at the park, playing with other kids, and just decided you were going to be best friends for the next hours. Maybe you’ll never see those kids again. But that hour was amazing because you both opened up and trusted each other." - Sara [Check out our 130+ Google reviews here](https://www.google.com/maps/place/EPIC+LLAMA/@29.4255256,-41.3746386,3z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xf758abc88e22289c!8m2!3d29.4255256!4d-41.3746386?sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiAydX55IP9AhWWQjABHejpCCkQ_BJ6BAhWEAg&coh=164777&entry=tt&shorturl=1)[ ](https://goo.gl/maps/TpZy77bfPFkGoikn7) *(these are real humans, we promise!)* ** FAQ** **• What's the age range?** Most people who come to our events are between 24 and 40 years old.

*Happy Hour fans?* Each month, our group is going to try to meet at some of the best happy hours around town! This month, let's meet for drinks and small bites at **[Rail Craft Kitchen](https://www.railcraftkitchen.com/menu?menu=happy-hour#1)** in Dublin on Frantz Road. *Happy Hour is 3-6pm weekdays*.

The casual atmosphere of happy hour encourages conversation, making it easier to bond over shared interests and experiences.

Let’s knock down some pins and knock back a few drinks while we’re at it. Bowling is one of the best stress relievers out there, so bring your A game and let’s see what you’ve got. It’s $20 per person, which includes free shoe rental and two hours of open bowling. We’ll start with six people per lane. Once we have six, we’ll grab our lane and get rolling. If more people show up after that, we’ll snag the lane right next to us and keep the party going. Come ready to have some fun.

Come ready to play. We’re turning dinner into a full-on game night. Card games, competitive chaos, and yes, those long strategic nerd games my friends love to play. We’ll also have Jackbox games on the big screen so everyone can jump in and talk a little trash. There will be pizza. There will be drinks. There will be snacks. There will absolutely be laughter. Pull up, grab a slice, pick a game, and let’s make it a night. \* This will be at someone's house so address will be given night before the event.
