The Best Bars in Dusseldorf
David Rippen learnt his craft from the bottom up, and today the passionate mixologist is considered a master of his trade. What he and his team conjure up in guests' glasses, whether classic or modern, is high class. His best specialities are his own creations "Cypress Dill" and "Pimms my Ride".
This bar is a must-see. A walk-in work of art, a little flashy, a little urban, but definitely artistic and unique. In the morning, breakfast is served here with regional products, in the evening it's trendy bar time - with classic drinks, innovative cocktails and selected wines.
In a cosy atmosphere, guests are not only offered classic and modern creative cocktails - rum plays an important role in the cosy neighbourhood bar. More than 50 varieties are on the shelves, and one speciality is the "Ti Punch", the national drink of the French Antilles.
Together with his dedicated team, Fabian Hess serves up plenty of cool drinks. Everything is characterised by the 1980s and 1990s - a bit of cult bar retro is a must. So it's best to order a "Magnum sein Colada", "Bambam's Legacy" or "Cuba Libre in Spezi Style" here.
The chic, speakeasy-style bar offers a wide selection of international spirits, champagnes and selected wines as well as first-class cocktails. Always passionately mixed from hand-picked, high-quality products and ingredients - that's a point of honour here.
Yuto Nagasawa not only has one of the most beautiful bars in Düsseldorf, his range in the brick interior is also a who's who of the international bar scene. The extensive and well thought-out menu features legendary cocktail classics as well as newcomers and imaginative original creations.
The restaurant at a dizzying height not only offers a magnificent view over the city, but also skilfully cultivates bar and restaurant culture in an elegant ambience. First-class cocktails, mocktails and drinks are served alongside authentic Japanese fusion-style cuisine, as well as wines and, of course, sake.
France taken to the extreme - in the centre of Düsseldorf. Everything that is poured into the glasses in the chic rooftop bar on the 17th floor of the 25hours Hotel comes from France. Even drinks such as Manhattan or Negroni are made exclusively from French spirits.
This trendy bar, where mixology is elevated to an art, is located in the centre of Düsseldorf's old town. Drinks are not just served here, the bartenders celebrate their preparation. The dedicated team offers plenty of first-class original creations and interpretations of well-known classic drinks.
For around ten years, this chic bar in the centre of the old town has been a place for cultivated bar culture. In a 1960s atmosphere, the friendly bartenders skilfully mix exclusive cocktails, legendary classics and their own creations, some with homemade syrups, to the accompaniment of laid-back music. Large selection of gins and tonics.
The bar next to the Düsseldorf Kunsthalle is a successful blend of nostalgic, dignified charm and urban, cosmopolitan ambience. In addition to an excellent selection of cocktails from the international bar scene, wine connoisseurs will not miss out here either. Delicious bar snacks are available to keep hunger at bay.
The modern styled location offers everything that is popular in the international bar world. The young bartenders offer classic cocktails and highballs as well as modern long drinks and wacky creations. Plus, of course, drinks based on their own ideas. The kitchen serves small snacks and tapas.
The always cheerful young bar team is half the battle in this appealingly cosy location. The other trump card is the 210 or so first-class cocktails, which cover the entire international repertoire. The 80 types of rum and 70 whisk(e)ys, including some rarities, are the icing on the cake.
