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.

It was on the rooftop of a parking garage attached to a mall, and it was a little adventure getting there! We went on a weeknight around shortly after sunset, and it was such a vibe!! It felt a little sketch walking up the ramp of a deserted parking garage but it was all part of the allure, and once we got up to the rooftop, it was a beautiful space decked out with colorful lights, plenty of seating at communal table, and a vibrant crowd. The city views were amazing and it was definitely a highlight of the trip!

I visited on a Wednesday off season , so the weather was a bit cold, and therefore there was no line or need to wait. There is a cover to enter, and it is hard to find, but once you are there it is totally worth it. The decorations , furniture, and ambiance are great and I really appreciated the cell phone ordering system using the pager. It makes everything SO MUCH EASIER. no need to fight your way to the bar to get the attention of a server and wait for him to make the drinks, you just order, pay and wait for your buzzer to let you know when to get the drinks from the counter. Later in the night when the weather got colder we moved inside and were treated to a very fun DJ with great music and an inviting and lit dance floor. Definitely a must for a night out!

It can be quite busy in the early evening, only dispersing at 11 or 12, so if you're passing on the way home at 2 or 3 you can always get a table to greet the morning from. They're open late, so don't worry about only just settling down to then be moved along, I'm left as late (early) as 7 before. The beers on tap and wines behind the bar are always good and though more expensive than drinks in other bars, but as it's never too loud I find myself enjoying tipples at a far more leisurely pace. Come in, let your eyes adjust and enjoy whiling away the hours in comfort and seclusion.

Horrible service + arrogant staff = absolute no-go!…read more We waited for more than half an hour for our drinks and when we asked gently how much longer it would take the staff proposed us very rudely that - if we were unhappy- we might as well just leave, which we decided to do then. The bartender seemed busy insulting guests, no wonder that the drinks did not arrive. Overall ridiculously horrible experience, the staff succeeded to make us all feel very unwelcome. Never again!

The back area seeme to be more well it and lively, but we werent there for that experience. We did not have any food, so i can't speak to that. The service was great. Outstanding mixologist. Like I said, we started by going to the wrong doorbells which were for the apratment. The actual speakeasy looks closed and out of business from the front. Eventually after a few other people showed up, someone came to the door and asked what we were doing there. They were in character the whole time. Once we delcared our purpose, they brought us back. As to not spoil it, lets just say it is very well hidden. The drinks inside were perfect. Well made with unique recipes and ingredients. It was a bit smoky, but not crazy while we were there. As a person who loves visiting hidden bars around the world, this spot was truly one of the best. Hidden, well done, and great drinks. DANKE!

I could tell many of the folks stopping in were locals. The selection was fairly extensive and included both Mikkeller brews as well as the local BRLO. I had a raspberry sour by Mikkeller which fortunately was not too sour and actually super delicious! I was excited to see there is a run club associated with this location (how I learned of the brand and planned to get involved in Belgium). Highly recommend to check it out for a drink, a run or both!

I enjoyed my martini and Old-Fashioned and everyone else seemed to enjoy their drinks. The menu is small and not overwhelming with different drinks or strange titles. This cocktail lounge has all the makings of a modern speakeasy with clean decor and very dim lighting until your eyes can adjust. The leather seats and wood floors are present. The bartenders were dressed alike in white shirt with dark pants and suspenders. The outdoor patio seating is probably nice on a warm (not humid) night. Their front door is in an inlet halfway down an alley street. Once you walk in, the bar and lounge area are to the right, the restrooms are a sharp left.

Well done Berlin…read more If there's anything I love more than a good cocktail, it's an almost secret bar. A massive steel door conceals the magic within. Ring the doorbell to be let in. Brightly illuminated in red lights with the haze of cigarette smoke in the distance and loud music thumpin in your ears, Reingold is THE spot for locals and tourists alike. I heard a mix of international languages being spoken here and that made me sip my cocktail in great pleasure. The cocktail list is alluringly extensive and everything looks so GOOD. You can't go wrong with a floral Aviation, a citrusy Dartmoor Smash, a boozy Old Fashioned or gin martini (2 olives please!) and even a Vera Cruz that's dessert like with tequila and coffee is very well balanced. I made sure to chat up Shaba, our phenomenal bartender and after a couple of rounds, we were best friends. We ended the night with tequila shots on the house. EPIC. Thanks Reingold for a night we'll never forget. Prost!

On my way to get a drink at a neighboring bar, I saw this place and decided to sit in their cofy vintage furniture outside with a beer. Honestly, the place looks exactly like 3 or 4 other bars that have cropped up in Boddinstrasse: random furniture from the nearest Flohmarkt, just one Pilsner on tap, a shabby paint job and bartenders that are sweet and almost too relaxed. Some people get really annoyed by these type of Berlin bars and frown down upon these sorts of establishments. Personally, I actually enjoy them, especially when comparing them with the type of sterile bars popping up in Mitte. Everything is nicely understated and the atmosphere is condusive for a nice chat with a group of friends around some cheap beers. After all - what more do you really need? They seem to have some freshly-squeezed lemonade on the menu, but I will have to come back another time to give it a shot.
