The bartender was extremely knowledgeable about gins and based off my one request of nothing too juniper heavy, he recommended the best gins for my G&Ts. I got there pretty early so it was just me and him, but he was pleasant to converse with and I loved his passion about gin. I only wish I had more time and a better tolerance of alcohol to stay longer. A must stop for any gin lover.

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.

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.

Service was prompt and friendly, we were offered a choice of three reds from which I chose a full-bodied wine from the Ardeche, my partner a lighter, almost rosé. Both were excellent, and after the complimentary saucisson and nuts we ordered cheese (three varieties) and bread (sourdough, I think). Prices per glass were between €3.50 - 5.00. Much more than a passing fashion, this place felt like it had already found its clientele despite only opening recently. Definitely a place to watch.
