"Cigar smoking allowed" Bars in Baden-Wuerttemberg
In a disused bank vault, everything remains the same even now they are serving drinks there. Secrets are negotiated, liquidity is at stake, and it is a place that many people dream of. But because the doors are open today, all secrets can be revealed. Fortunately.
A bar with a very special flair: with an atmosphere reminiscent of a boxing ring, this gem of a bar in the Hirschhof impresses with fabulous drinks and the highest quality standards. The regional and seasonal menu offers plenty of variety with constantly changing themes, making every visit a new experience.
First-class bar-restaurant by gastronomic visionary Willi Schoellmann on the top floor of a former fashion house with a view over Offenburg. The cocktails are highly experimental, but fantastic, and are mixed with regional fruit brandies, for example. The food on offer is of the very highest quality.
When a series does well - such as "Game of Thrones" - a prequel is released soon afterwards to explain how it all came about in the first place. That's great for fans. For fans of Negroni, this means booking a train ticket to Tübingen, where a few bartenders talk about the youth of the timeless classic.
They still exist: the bars where everything is just right. The atmosphere of the former wine cellar, the sweet smell of cigar smoke. And of course the drinks. In Freiburg, every gourmet knows where to go when life needs a glass of indulgence. Wherein, its namesake certainly wouldn’t have stopped at just one glass.
For 25 years, this establishment has stood for bar culture at the highest level. In 2022, the drinks menu - previously almost as thick as a telephone directory - was slimmed down and trimmed to reflect the spirit of the times, without the selection losing any of its authenticity. In summer, the Santo Hotel's local gem attracts guests with its cosy terrace.
In 1997, something unique was created in the west of Stuttgart - the BAR. An iconic pub where you can find peace and quiet, yet easily strike up a conversation and forget the time even more easily. A place with a certain magic and where first-class cocktails and lovingly selected single malt whisk(e)ys are offered.
Stylish cocktail bar on Stuttgart's Wilhelmsplatz, where operator Knud Scheibelt focuses on creative recipes and high-quality spirits. He was inspired by American film noirs when furnishing the room, which measures just 28 square metres. The menu includes 250 different types of whisk(e)y.
Amber makes the world look like it was forged from gold. In Bernstein, on the other hand, the drinks don't taste like gold, but well-balanced without becoming boring. Similar to roulette in the city's famous casino: it's always the same wheel that spins, but the game is new every time.
Since 2012, trained restaurant specialist Roman Koffer has been running his cozy cocktail bar just a few minutes' walk from the city centre. He treats up to 80 guests to fresh ingredients and creative recipes. He pays particular attention to so-called "cocktail flights", which consist of three drinks each.
Europa-Park bar in the superior Bell Rock Hotel impresses with its extensive range of whisk(e)y and 1920s-style ambience. The Spirit of St. Louis Bar has a separate non-smoking area. In summer, numerous seats on the terrace invite you to linger and enjoy. Small dishes are also on offer.
Actually, it doesn't take much at all. A little love for the craft and the right instinct for people and what they want without necessarily knowing it yet. Okay, that's quite a lot. All the better then that there is a place in Crailsheim where it all comes together. And in a fun way, too.
A sky bar with a cow carpet! There's sushi, a mischievous grin from the barman and a view that makes the drinks taste even better than they already do. The style of the bar is aimed at a young clientele, but it is casually timeless. It's a place where you can enjoy yourself.
