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.
Cool speakeasy with impressive signatures such as the "Fruity Bambaataa" and perfectly crafted classics. A special feature for cigar lovers and those who want to become one: every second Tuesday there is a selected cigar-spirits pairing as part of the so-called Cigar Society. True to style!
Bar manager Yannik Walter already has an illustrious career behind him, which has taken him from London to the Golvet Bar. Now he has created a glamorous bar with exquisite drinks such as a "Spicy Ayran Margarita". Don't miss the experimental botanical drinks for which he puts the ingredients through a centrifuge.
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.

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.
The Salut! Bar in Schöneberg not only scores points with a skilful mix of classic and unusual drinks, but also with the opportunity to indulge in people-watching on Goltzstraße. Whether in the cosy bar or at tables on the terrace - you always have everything in view.

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.

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.
