kneipe

Isaac Kremer/ September 9, 2018/ / 0 comments

In German, popular usage, a tavern; but in student slang, much influencing common usage, a drinking room, the term being connected more or less closely with ideas of comparative freedom of restraint and perhaps excess. The word kneiperei means the resorting to such a room for drinking and festivity. Photo from The Tavern, Abingdon, Virginia, 2013. (Sturgis, 1900)
