The name says it ALL...coolest liquor store ever and they even have their own brand of beer!!read more

Drink Drunk is quite literally the greatest liquor store on the planet…read more It's on the corner of Skalitzer Str. and Schlesische Str., which is super busy 'cause it's walking distance from like seventeen clubs. A liquor store in this location could sell warm beer out of a cardboard box and probably make a decent amount of money. That's why Drink Drunk is so amazing, because the fine people at Drink Drunk go so far above and beyond being a basic liquor store when, with their location, they really don't have to. I've never really felt an attachment to a liquor store before this one, and I doubt I will again in the future. Drink Drunk is wholly unique, a singular ray of light in an otherwise dark world filled with mediocre liquor stores. First of all, the beer selection is just stupid. They have the normal German/Belgian/Czech stuff that most stores here have, and then an entire other wall filled with craft and weird beers from all over the world. It's ridiculous. I moved to Berlin from halfway across the world and like three different breweries from my hometown are represented here, each with several different varieties of beer. Some of the stuff is a little expensive for Berlin but it probably has to take like three airplanes to get here so what're ya gonna do. The best part of Drink Drunk though, hands down, is the music. I live near the place and have to pass it to go most anywhere and on my dang honor I solemnly swear I've never heard them play a bad tune. It's generally classic 90s/2000s rap and RnB, dancehall, reggae, things of that nature, which is pretty rare for Berlin, and they have a really bangin' soundsystem for a späti. I've heard them playing Mariah Carey deep cuts. DJ Quik remixes. The album version of "Guilty Conscience." It's bananas. In the summertime they turn it up and you can spend a whole night on the sidewalk out front, listening to jams and drinking, and it'll cost you less than cover at most clubs. Long live Drink Drunk.

Only one word describes Noer - AWESOME!!! I came across this wine shop / bar when the staff at…read moreEastern Comfort recommended it and gave me a business card. They said everyone who'd been there loved the fantastic range of vinos, chiled atmosphere and was impressed by the knowledge exhibited by the owners (as well as the banter - they are such a laugh!). I experienced exactly this, but was particularly taken by how they position their wines. Now I love my wine but am more into drinking it than actually knowing anything about it ;-) so it was refreshing to be able to tell them what sort of 'experience' I was looking for from a wine (relaxing vs. energising, for example) and they were able to tell me which wine was best... AWESOME!!! Be sure sure to pay a visit next time you're in Berlin, and pay particular attention to the artwork used to depict the variety of wines on the wall (as well as the London-themed pencil sharpeners - those are so cool!!!).

Splendid wine indeed, super helpful service even when asked to provide us with a tacky photo!read more

The question is, with so many places you can order beverages, how do you decide where to buy them?…read more For me, the answer is simple. Gekko is a specialized drink shop that also happens to be a leftist collective. So obviously I want to put my money there. The warehouse is hidden in the back of an industrial-esque complex along Köpeniker Strasse. Inside there are juices, waters, beer, sodas, and more. They also offer speciality drinks like local ciders, colas, vodkas, etc. So not only is it a good place to buy drinks, but also a good place to discover new available products. Also, the prices can't be beat. We bought a ton of drinks here for our wedding reception and it was very affordable. They offer delivery and pick-up for an extra cost, but we had a vehicle so did it ourselves. Then, when the party was over, we returned our empty crates for deposits and brought back full crates, which they buy back for the same price, minus a €1 each. Be aware that you have to be a member to buy here, but the sign-up process is only about 10 minutes and includes some paperwork to fill out. After that, every visit is easy in, easy out.

Any whisky lover knows that one of the best spots to drink it in Kreuzberg (if not all of Berlin)…read moreis Madonna on Wiener Straße. Luckily for those who are in the market to buy what they've tried, Tabac & Whisky Center is just around the corner. The store itself is what I imagine what I think of a whisky shop: dark interior, wall-to-wall shelves of whisky and cigars, an older gentleman working behind the counter. I came in asking for some recommendations about whiskys that would match my fellow's palate, and was given a handful of recommendations and explanations. I am not a die-hard whisky drinker myself, but the owner was not rude or condescending to me, which I appreciated, and he was honest about the pricing. A week later, I returned, and the owner remembered me, helping me quickly and efficiently with my purchase. I am completely pleased with the knowledge and service here, and the prices are comparable to every other whisky shop I've been to in town, so it's safe to say that I will come back here when I have whisky needs to be met.
