Altes Papierlager

Leipzig, Germany

TAL4 is the smaller, more personal sibling of Altes Papierlager in Leipzig. It's basically the city's tiniest event location, and that's exactly the point. You book the whole place exclusively, so it's just you and your people, no strangers wandering in. The main thing here is tastings. Whisky, rum, gin, wine: they do all of them for groups up to 16 people. The whisky one takes you from Scottish single malt to Japanese rarities, the rum night is all about South American variety, and the gin tasting lets you mess around with different tonics to find your own combo. There's also a wine evening with antipasti and homemade pizza bread. Prices start around 74 to 84 euros per person. If you're not there for the spirits, they also host business meetings, family celebrations, and show cooking events where someone prepares grilled food right in front of you, with veggie options available. The vibe is very much "someone's living room, but for grown-up drinking." Reviews keep mentioning the host…
