Kreuzberg


A big stylised painting of Harry Johnson, whose 1882 bartenders’ manual is still the profession’s ‘bible’, keeps an eye on imbibers at this neighbourhood-adored cocktail cavern. Top-shelf spirits, homemade bitters, liqueurs and lemonades, plus a deep cache of drink-slinging know-how and imagination, make for a night of sophisticated drinking.

For a change from 1920s classics, try locally inspired house creations such as Berlin at Night or Kreuzberg Spritz.
