Looks like it might have been a hookah bar frequented by Middle Eastern migrants.

Its a hookah bar, which might give you an idea of the likely clientele.

Hookah smokers.
Hookah smoke that you inhale can contain 36 times more tar than cigarette smoke, 15 times the carbon monoxide, and 70% more nicotine than one cigarette. Hookah smokers may absorb more toxins and cancer-causing chemicals than cigarette smokers.

I asked the same question lol. it is also known as a hookah.

It’s a middle east thing so I’m guessing some of Angela’s new guests in Germany are behind this.

used to be a lot of Americans in Hanau (e.g the army airfield) - it was a shithole back then.

Seems to lean toward being a 'hooker' bar, or perhaps a hook-up bar.

I wondered if the clientele or women were Asian. I saw no connection to
that during a quick look-up.

I didn't know myself.

The angle about being gang activity could play in, if this is the genre.

Boy was I off base with that post. Sorry.

I thought they were using slang for hooker. WRONG!

Hookah lounge - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Hookah_lounge

A shisha parlor is sometimes mistakenly referred to as 'hookah lounge'
(also called a shisha bar or den, especially in Britain and parts of Canada).

It is an establishment where patrons share shisha from a communal hookah
or from one placed at each table or a bar.

A hookah is also called a nargeela. Shisha can also be slang for hashish.

Signs point to ‘perhaps’...

This sure looks bad.

Huh? Guns in Germany? Did they pass a background check? That ALWAYS stops these things.
