Restaurant Bars in Germany
Charles Schumann actually wanted to study politics and journalism, but today he knows that he "can only do gastronomy". Understatement is as much a part of Germany's most legendary bar operator as the white coats of the Schuhmann's team. You can only love this bar! And if you don't, then it's not the bar that's the problem, it's you.
There's a lot you can do wrong. The choice of glasses, the level of friendliness, the decor. So it's all the more surprising when you pull up a chair at the Tantris bar, take a sip of the "Tantroni Americano" and admit to yourself that you're completely inspired: Everything really fits here.
The bar at the Fritz & Felix restaurant in the style of the Roaring Twenties is a new crowd-puller. The bar creates its own drinks and reinterprets classics in a modern way. Among other things, homemade vermouths and one of the largest collections of German gins and whisk(e)ys are served.
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.
107 meters above the Elbe and 23 floors above the Reeperbahn, you are very close to bar heaven at the 15-meter-long bar, even closer in the Heaven's Nest Rooftop above. Champagne is served to start, followed by "Casino Royal" with gold dust, while the "Porn Star Martini" gets down to business. Trendy parties and DJ sets.
Good florists are those who don't confuse you with unnecessary details, but understand what the bouquet is supposed to be about. The boys and girls here do something similar: they skilfully compose wonderfully floral, fruity or tart works of art from fine spirits that are sure to impress.
Scandinavia in the dignified Elbe suburbs, the bar and brasserie have long been an urban hotspot. In the former horse stable with its cosy ambience and open fireplace, the selection of drinks is an additional magnet to the excellent cuisine. 250 spirits are used by bar manager Cyril Hauschild to create drinks and cocktails.
The bar's arthouse cinema next door shows selected films. But here too, you can feel like you're in a movie. When you're sitting at a table in the corner, outside the city is streaming into the hip, trendy Jungbusch district, but it's nice to have a whisky sour. Of course, you have to drink it if you want the evening to be a classic.
The name refers to the neighborhood's foundry past - as does the urban mural as a break in style from the gold-painted walls and art deco interior. For a sophisticated accompaniment, order classics with a twist and pickled watermelon as a bar snack - served with starched napkins and polished cutlery.
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.
At home in the Deichtorhallen, the art theme continues in the Berliner Bahnhof with its chic, retro-modern ambience. The glasses are filled with perfectly balanced cocktails and good wines as well as beers, with a nice "wines with animalistic labels" section. There is also an exciting menu with pasta, salads and sandwiches.
Anyone who thinks of red lights at Freudenhaus in St. Pauli is often right. Here, however, it's about good German cuisine like your mother's, which is a joy in this house. And a huge selection of spirits with 170 gins, 260 rums, 570 whiskeys and just one vodka. Exciting: Sazerac as an old fashioned variation.
Design, vibes and fusion make the restaurant a sensation, and the Nikkei Nine bar is just as spectacular. Unusual Japanese-Peruvian cocktail creations such as "Japanese Bellini" with peach sake and "Fujiyama Mule" with wasabi soda are mixed at the golden centrepiece. DJ beats for extra glamour at the weekend.
In Munich, you don't stumble into bars, you sail in. That suits a place where the wooden planks are planked and the drinks push every sailor out of their Timberlands - because they are so good, not because you're being sloppy. To avoid getting seasick, it is still advisable to keep a sense of proportion.
For a sundowner or an aperitif - at 172.5 meters above sea level, even the expectations are sky-high. You won't be disappointed: you won't find any classics on the menu, but you will find signature drinks, gins, whisk(e)ys and an impressive selection of sake. It's not just the food that makes you feel like you're in Japan.
If you don't just want to live life, but experience it too, then this is the place for you. The gustatory equivalent of a rollercoaster is delivered here not only with drinks that make you loop-the-loop, but also with an eight-course menu. It will blow the hair off your forehead and leave you flabbergasted.
Art and pleasure come together in this beautiful gallery bar. Creativity can be seen on the walls as well as on the plate and in the glass. Modern American crossover cuisine is complemented by visually impressive cocktail art. Tip: "Murphy's Law", based on bourbon with brown butter and egg white.
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.
The wave-shaped ceiling in boat plank look reflects the Elbe, the bar welcomes you with an invitingly staged drinks wall. Ambitious cuisine with aromatic, flavourful dishes, prime steaks are served on the grill. Nice selection of wines, drinks and spirits. A must try: Special drinks such as "Kirke" in the "Pelikan-Schnabel".
