"Cold dishes" Bars in Baden-Wuerttemberg
For some, it's the wackiest bar in town, for others it's a touch too hip. The fact is that the place, which Paul Sieferle has played a major role in creating, has class. Exciting combinations, great glasses, cool decorations and a wide range of spirits will put you in a good mood. Don't be late at the weekend!
Getting past the door is not as difficult as you might think given the bar's reputation. The owner duo have made a name for themselves with sustainably designed cocktails (little food waste!). What should you try? Highballs or drink of the week! Please take the Bottled Flamingo home with you!
Tübingen is considered the coolest city far and wide, and Bartista is the coolest bar in the community. There are good reasons for this enthusiasm as Gaetano Randone lets visitors delve deep into the history of mixing culture, and it's not just the "Last Word Cocktail" that will amaze you. Unfortunately the gourmet menu is only available to order in advance.
Restaurateur Marc Leuwer has his nose to the wind and knows exactly what the people of Karlsruhe want at Hirschhof. Classic drinks with a twist, sometimes barrel-aged, which are best sipped at the city's most architecturally successful bar counter. If you want to know more: simply book a ticket for the next cocktail course.
Freiburg's catering scene has long been good for innovation. And who better to tempt customers than this circus horse, which likes to push the boundaries of bar culture. Andreas Schöler and Boris Gröner organise cocktail courses on selected Sundays and even sell cool concoctions to take away.
Only the best landlords manage to keep a place named after themselves going forever. Wilfried Schöllmann, meanwhile, appeals to many groups of guests at the same time. Some indulge in Kir-Royal nostalgia, others enjoy the "crooked-mad squirrel" in a glass. Served with oysters or nachos, depending on your preference.
Day and night: Christoph Kuttner and Henri Scharnofske have set the tone with their bar. Creative mixology triumphs here: classics, newcomers and their own ideas are perfectly prepared and served as fresh, light cocktails and drinks. A favourite is the "Raspberry Fields Forever".
The bar, named after a galloping winning gallop, would have to be listed as a historical monument if the hotel wasn't already listed. It's no surprise that the prices for Kir Royal and Bellini are on the high end. If you still have money left over afterwards, order oysters and caviar, wagyu burgers and cheesecake.
You can approach the bar from several sides at once. Logical, because Brenners is all about seeing and being seen. In addition to international drinks, Bavarian whisky or Black Forest Mule are served under the watchful eyes of the mascots Fritz and Felix. Cheese from Bernard Antony and crispy fries will put you in a good mood.
Restaurant, bar, event location or simply the place to be? Heidelberg would be inconceivable without this location with its ideal transport links. The chairs are as comfortable as the cocktails are perfectly mixed - the range of cigars is also worth a look. Attention: no bar reservations!
The later the evening, the better the bar experience. The small, tucked-away and romantic bar only opens at 11 pm and only on Fridays and Saturdays. The minimalist principle continues with the selection of drinks, which is ultra-focussed. For snacking: Currywurst from the jar.
The old fiesta author and bullfighting admirer would probably have felt at home in the bar named after him in the hotel's vaulted cellar. You can imitate the legendary Ernest Hemingway and simply order a daiquiri, but you can also get detailed advice on particularly trendy drinks.
Head bartender Niklas Strohmenger in Durlach is not satisfied with just any old thing. Pisco harmonises with popcorn, spruce needles go well with gin and Bénédictine, but a classic like Side Car also works. The Karlsruhe pop-up bar Hust by The Curtain and the cocktail courses are further attractions.
Perhaps the most personally run bar in the city and far beyond. Chef Arman Krayt Gülenay, known to everyone as Armando, mixes classics with a personal twist and doesn't shy away from innovation. Anyone who has tried his "Sidecar" will understand why this drink deserves a renaissance.
Only open since April, the bar on a corner of the market square has long since gained a fan base. This is not only due to the inviting atmosphere and the friendly team behind the bar, the trendy location also offers first-class classic daiquiris and creative cocktail creations.
The "little rooster" is Ferro F. Ceylan's playground and is reminiscent of the possible provenance of the word "cocktail" ("cock's tail"). Guests are transported back to the early 20th century and sip unusual drinks such as the Triple Smoke. Please book your tickets for the burlesque show and whisk(e)y tasting in good time!
Sushi can be prepared not only with salmon, but also with chicken. Hardly anyone in Heidelberg knows this better than the Heidelberg event location, which combines a view and flair with nigiri, as well as tataki and ceviche. Those who appreciate spectacular drinks with homemade syrups are also in the right place.
There's piano music on Saturdays, a beautiful garden in summer and a three-hour happy hour on Wednesdays. From January to December, there is what makes a good bar: drinks of the established or very personal kind, spiced and often "surprisingly" combined. Cocktails to go are available to order in advance.
Quality awareness above all else. Exciting drinks, fine herbal liqueurs and homemade syrups: you'd never be satisfied with the usual standards here. Guest bartenders and rum tastings are among the attractions of the establishment and "Mixology Monday" attracts the curious to Roman Koffer's living room at the beginning of the week.
Day bar or evening location? The main thing is variety and exclusive ingredients, with homemade spirits and cool combinations characterising the cocktail menu. Starting a session in Stuttgart's nightlife with a Red Napoleon, Champagne and strawberry cordial is a stylish way to begin - especially as the "Daily Tapas" satisfy the worst of your hunger.
