    It was complete oversight on my part to not write a review about Redwood until now…read more Or maybe I wanted to keep it a secret? apparently, the Yelp world also wants to keep it a secret since the bar only has 18 reviews and it's been around since 2012. Bartender/owner Shawn Beck may look fun on the outside, but he takes making cocktails seriously. I came to know Shawn since he used to work at one of my favorite bars in San Francisco, The Burritt Room. YES PEOPLE!!! I stalk, err follow, my bartenders even halfway across the globe. Berlin needed a cocktail bar like this. The city is littered with biergartens, dives and bars that serve excellent beer or wine, but terrible cocktails. This bar on a quiet corner of Bergstrasse is like a breath of fresh air. (air that pretty much smells like your favorite Negroni) Housemade bitters, fresh squeezed juices, premium liquor give bartenders a chance to create incredible cocktails. Expect traditional and also modern cocktails on the menu. I really liked the barrel aged El Presidente that they had on hand. And even in Mitte, you can still find that pricing stands between 10 to 12 euros. That to me is a huge plus! To get here, take the subway to Rosenthaler Platz or Nordbahnhof and walk 5 minutes. To find it, walk along Bergstrasse and look out for the discreet glowing sign: "BAR". Enter inside and you will be guaranteed a relaxing night in a casual, cozy environs. Hands down, one of my fave bars in Berlin.

    Expectations are high if a cocktail bar in Berlin Mitte is associated with the famous Burritt Room…read morein San Francisco. Wait, Berlin can do cocktails? And by cocktail, do you mean the over-sugared Sex on the Beach and the obnoxious Long Island Ice Tea, best taken in one of those pseudo city beach bars with fake palm trees and dirty white sand? No, my friend. This is the real deal. A speak-easy, low-key bar that does not attract the crowds. It attracts the cocktail lovers. On an extensive menu of high quality liquors the drinks are sorted by the type of alcohol and the level of sweetness. Easy to order. Lounge on the high bar table made of redwood or in one of the more discrete couches in the back. You know what they say. Once you go red you never go back. Well played, Redwood Bar.

    Come here for the cocktails, which are the finest I've had in Berlin. The place is unpretentious,…read morewith unmemorable decor an no view whatsoever, but it is cozy, with some comfy couches to sit or cuddle at. The service is sweet, which is a rarity for Berlin. But such drinks! The menu is inventive, with surprising combinations using ingredients like violet and rosemary - but unlike those at, say, Monkey Bar, the tastes are balanced and complex, and don't merely sound good on paper. A nice plus is the price: while they're not cheap, at around 14 euros per drink, they are quite fair for what you get, and you're certainly getting premium here (unlike the 20 euro monstrosities at Odessa).

    You ring the doorbell, take a seat at the bar, gaze at the menu.. can't decide.. ask the bartender…read morefor a recommendation, watch him do his magic, and go into a state of pure bliss when taking the first sip from the vintage glass, wanting a second one, a third one, and then the lovely first one once more - it was after all this one you fell in love it in the first place. I don't know if this is a typical night at Becketts Kopf, but it was mine, and I could hardly have been happier. After just spending a little time in NY savouring the cocktail culture, finding a speakeasy like this in Berlin was one surprising delight. The bartender is imported from London, and rare bitters are sourced in Scotland. He is happy to answer all your (stupid?) questions despite being busy spraying the cocktails with orange blossom.. meant to please your nose, to enhance the experience even further. The ugly red leather chairs, and the smoke are the only two things holding me back for giving this place a full five stars.

    The one jazz trio we saw here was terrible…read more But many first rate clubs have a mix of stronger and weaker musicians. So there may be fine jazz to be heard here. Or there may not. * * * Bartending is strong here. Other Yelpers say the house gin is excellent. I had a house creation, a port cocktail that was absolutely outstanding. It was reminiscent of a really fine Spanish or Argentine vermouth. * * * The downside of the Hat Bar is that the only seating is on stools. They really don't have a choice on this matter. The bar is microscopic - and narrow to boot. The band has to play in a space the size of two balance beams in a gymastics competition. They couldn't fit regular chairs into this establishment, Even if they wanted to. Worse, they need to have the maximum amount of seats to pay for the routine high expenses of a jazz club. So there are a lot of stools crammed in there. This is really NOT a space to get comfortable and mellow - Even if the beverage you are drinking is superlative. * * * I just don't get into good music if the seats are too uncomfortable. I have spent too many nights in the cheap seats in old school concert halls for classical music ... Where they make you take the stairs all the way up to the twelfth level balcony, There are four inches between your seat and the next row. Your knees are jammed up close to your body with your kneecaps at your nostrils. It doesn't matter that the orchestra is so far away that you can't hear them. You are so miserable that not even the Emperor Concerto could make you feel good. * * * The stools at the Hat Bar are not nearly that bad But I was still not having a great time. Fortunately, the trio that was playing was mediocre, So I had no deep sense of abiding loss.

    Went here on a date and it was a great spot. The music was awesome and the drinks weren't too…read moreexpensive. Great time but best for a small group
