Hotel Bars in Germany
The greatest classics in the smallest space; over two floors in the hotel bar of the traditional hotel. Around seventy types of whisky and 25 gins are served by the glass. Beverage Manager Enrico Wilhelm is a master of his craft. From the Rolls-Royce leather seats, the view is of the illuminated bar and the Inner Alster. Pure Hamburg.
Fresh herbs for the drinks grow directly on the vertical herb bed on the back wall of the bar, a unique eye-catcher in the modern-chic location. The friendly bartenders are creative and up to date, with 16 signature drinks in their program, plus many classics and newcomers from the scene.
A turtle points the way to the trendy Hotel Tortue with its chic restaurants and bars. The stylish Bar Noir serves exciting drinks from 5 p.m., the bar menu is varied and specials such as "La lumière" are a delight. Beautiful courtyard terrace with Parisian flair and Asia just a table away at JIN GUI.
From Italian espresso at lunch to afternoon tea and legendary martinis in the evening. A visit to the award-winning Bar DaCaio is always worthwhile; it is the lively centerpiece of the trendy The George Hotel. Legendary long drinks and cocktails, the varied bar menu is an exciting read with pretty illustrations.
The 320° panorama offers a phenomenal view of the Alster and the roof terrace is spectacular. The bar, run by Rocco Tolomeo, is popular with Hanseatic locals and guests, and celebrities are also often seen here. Champagne cocktails are perfect here, but they also know how to celebrate specialties such as vermouth. Atmospheric with live music.
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.
This extremely stylish bar gem in the luxury Hotel Brenner's is a popular meeting place for high society, especially of the international gallop raciness. The Oleander Bar was named after the legendary thoroughbred stallion from Baron Schlenderhahn's stud farm. The quality of the drinks and the ambience are outstanding.
A bar with a story – the barman should tell it. Here, we would like to point out what makes it future-proof: drinks that convince even professional naysayers. In addition, there is a really successful blend of historical charm and contemporary elements. That alone is worth a visit.
The elegant bar has its own entrance in the Mandarin Oriental. The modern art deco-style bar forms the radiant centerpiece. Browsing through the menu is a real pleasure with its imaginative signature drinks such as "Last Samurai" - a combination of whiskey, yuzu, tonka bean and truffle honey.
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.
The Venerie Bar is a far cry from the whispering pub charm of its big sister, the Square Bar. In the MUZE boutique hotel, it takes you back to the 1950s - and still looks extremely modern. This is reflected in the drinks menu: a select choice of wines meets local craft beers and the bar's own creations.
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.
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.
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.
The bar's burlesque charm is unique and makes the tastefully staged location one of the most beautiful bars around; a Frankfurt crowd-puller that also boasts a first-class range of drinks. This includes signature drinks such as "Wolpertinger" and "Shahmaran", which are always a good choice.
The view tastes best at a height of 90 meters with a well-mixed drink from bar manager Norman Pohl and delicacies from sushi master Chantira Tuk Bedick. The stylish bar impresses with its own creations such as "Mai Tai Sankt Pauli Style" and favourite cocktails such as "Gin Basil Smash". Simply magnificent: cocktail at sunset.
The chic lobby bar in the four-star Hotel Blauer Reiter, which opened in 2019, impresses with first-class cocktails from bar manager Niklas Strohmenger and a cosy winter garden. Cocktail courses and a special menu for ladies are offered on selected days. Not to be confused with the Berlin Curtain Club.
The bar at Severin's is unbeatable in terms of elegant cosiness. And the bar culture is also at its finest. The friendly bar professionals shake and mix everything that has been invented around the globe. Their own creations, such as the "Cranberry Storm" with cranberry rum, are also extremely popular, and not just with Sturm.
Nico Grote's ambitious crew heats up locals and travellers in the best Boilerman style. While the Eppendorf sister bar focuses on whisk(e)y, everything in HafenCity revolves around rum. A large selection of special types of rum and special rum highballs, which are conjured up without any shakers or ice.
A life at the hotel bar. Is that melancholy, perhaps even lonely? Nope. It's turned up like fans in summer. And they have something else in common with the bar at the main station: although it's constantly rotating, everything is always cool. That's because of the newspapers in the bathroom, but even more so because of the drinks.
