As we were wandering around Neustadt, the decor in Bar Paradox (wall full of books stacked in…read moreshelves, old vinyl records, TV playing abstract art clips, and a money safe?) lured us in for a drink. Luckily, the decor didn't "trick" us, and Bar Paradox is indeed a cool place to hang out.
Their drinks (and only drinks) menu is immense, and I mean, +70 pages immense! They got it all (they even serve hot drinks like mulled wine and hot Hugos), but what caught my attention was their dedication/commitment to gin. From that book, 12 pages were just about their ~20 types of gin and G&Ts. I tried their Balearic G&T (Larios 12 gin from Spain, Thomas Henry tonic, juniper berries, lemon and orange zests) and sampled "The Botanist" Scottish gin, and I was in gin delight.
Prices were average (although there was a 12-for-the-price-of-11 Kölsch special), and service was ok.
Combined with the laidback environment, Paradox is my kind of bar.
