"Warm Dishes" Bars in Berlin
The water gurgles leisurely from the imposing elephant fountain, while piano sounds in the background set the mood for the evening. It feels royal in the Adlon, and the drinks are designed to match. Such as the "Adlon Special", a mix of Etter Framboise, Chambord, blackberry puree and flint wine, which is dedicated to the 1930s.
It's back to the roots at the bar on Steinplatz. Gin was quickly replaced by double juniper, the cocktails are visually identical and only impress with their variety of flavours. The bar team impresses with its love of experimentation. The highlight is the great bar food menu.
An exclusive spot on the otherwise rather bland Potsdamer Platz. In the elegant hall of the former Hotel Esplanade, the operators focus on relaxed fine dining and the bar combines luxurious tradition with modern design. This is also reflected in the innovative cocktail creations by award-winning mixologist Arnd Henning Heissen.
For over 20 years, this bar has been a land of milk and honey for fans of sophisticated drinking. Numerous drinks are dedicated to each spirit here, with 25 Champagne cocktails on the menu alone. In 2023, the interior of the bar was given a general overhaul, but the elegant bar culture is as alive here as ever!
The bar exudes the flair of the Golden Twenties: separated from the hustle and bustle of Ku'damm by red velvet curtains, you can enjoy ultra-modern drinks directly at the bar or more intimately on velvet sofas. The bar team has designed a drink for all twelve districts of Berlin! A must for Berliners and visitors alike.
The bar, which is part of the Golvet restaurant, delights all those who are here for more than just the food. Bar manager José Kolbe knows how to cater to the individual wishes of his guests and combines flavours to create innovative taste compositions. No wonder the bar is known as one of Berlin's best.
Trendy restaurant with modern, fine cuisine and bar. A lot of manual work including fermentation and distillation goes into the homemade liquids, from which special, very creative drinks such as "Curious Juno" (gin-based) are conjured up. However, the hippness factor also determines the prices. Great terrace.
"You will always find me in the kitchen at parties": Jona Lewis' 80s hit sings about why this bar is something special. Fantastic, imaginative drinks are mixed in the Wilhelminian-style kitchen of Nina Zilvar, Barmaid of the Year 2022, with bar food to match. In summer, it's especially nice outside with a view of the canal.
The bar has one of the most popular terraces in Berlin. Not without reason, as it offers an incomparable view of the zoo's monkey enclosure and the zoo behind it from the 10th floor. There are also exciting classics with a twist such as an "Oriental Cobbler" and regular events with live music. A place to be!
Pure pleasure is at the heart of the bar experience at Mr. Susan. However, that doesn't mean that bar manager Susan Choi does away with complexity when it comes to cocktails. Here, classics such as cosmopolitan and margarita meet kimchi, gohchujang or aloe vera. The menu changes with the seasons. A feel-good place!
The Orania.bar is a hotel bar in the best sense of the word: elegantly designed, it offers hotel classics such as live music and bar food, but the drinks are anything but dusty. In addition to the usual spirits, shiitake mushrooms, feta or a cordial made from basil and olive oil are also used here.
Noble indulgence with a shabby look: in this former school for the poor, the emphasis is on good food and drink rather than smooth walls. Next to the elegant restaurant is the cool bar, where an experienced team makes the ice cubes clink. In addition to classics such as "Side Car" or "Sazerac", "The Grand Mule" is highly recommended.
At Bonvivant, vegetarian fine dining dreams come true: the sophisticated veggie cuisine is accompanied by cocktail creations that are precisely matched to the individualistic courses. In the colourful rooms of the Cocktail Bistro, you can sip drinks mixed from fruit juices, herbs and spices.
A simple but cosy ambience, an extensive drinks menu and the spirit of crime hovering in the air; named after Berlin's George R(emus), who was a successful alcohol smuggler in the USA during Prohibition. The Kiezkneipe is a real asset to Moabit.
You have to have the right nose to find the Truffle Pig Bar at the back of the Kauz&Kiebitz. Once you get there, you'll find yourself in the trendy shed of hosts Vito Nicotra and Giacommo Gaggero, who serve stylish signature drinks such as "Goodfellas" or "Dolce&Banana".
The small bar, which owes its name to a film by Luis Bunuel, the father of Spanish surrealist cinema, offers a fine selection of classic cocktails, wine and beer. As is customary in Spain, a wonderful amount of vermouth is used. A tapas platter rounds off the Spanish bar experience.
Elegant Scandinavian design, an ingenious lighting concept, smooth jazz and urban nonchalance set the pace in the upscale hotel's bar. Behind the chic counter, bar history classics are created with great craftsmanship. The green terrace overlooks the zoo.
A bar dedicated to 007 - the Vesper Bar is not named after a legendary Bond girl for nothing, as James Bond's legendary Martini takes center stage here. Gentlemen can choose from four different martini twists, but there are also numerous other signatures and classics on the menu.
Whisk(e)y lovers get their money's worth here, as the Vox has dedicated a separate menu to the noble spirit. A large selection of whisk(e)y rarities is just as impressive as the matching range of high-quality cigars. The signature drinks and classics are also impressive. Here's to chin-chin!
A little quirky, a little whimsical and cool. Through the shopping center of the Neukölln Arkaden, you reach the top floor of the parking garage, which is equipped like a huge summer garden with beer benches, sandbox and herb garden. The sandwich and French fries concept feels appropriate.
