We stopped here for aperitifs (before dinner drinks), and spent about 1.5 hrs just enjoying our various deja vu and lillet cocktails, and watching the stylish and perfumed youth of Dresden slowly start their evening if bar hopping. Definitely a great spot to chill, something for everyone on the menu, and great location.

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.

The menu was made out of old LPs. You have to see it to believe it. And the drinks menu was…read moreimmense. Such is the vibe at Paradox: Books, lounge chairs, darkness... The waitress/bartender was very friendly and walked me through all the translations until I found something I liked: A Big Bang Burger! Really gotta love it when a waitress puts that much of herself into her work!!! The burger was interesting. The meat, by itself, had some sort of a taste to it that reminded me of sausage. Well, this IS Germany. I asked for grilled veggies (antipasti, it was referred to) which was VERY tasty! Garlicky, even! Enjoyable evening.

We were recommended this place by our airbnb host, who said carabeños had amazing cocktails for a…read moregreat price. It took us a while to find it (it wasn't on yelp at the time), but they did have a Facebook page with a map. Inside is cozy and definitely reminiscent of a bar that you would find beside the beach in the Caribbean, meaning it's also a bit tacky. I didn't hear much German being spoken in here, mostly Spanish, which is a good indicator to me of its authenticity. But the real reason to go is the cocktails and to chat with the guy who is their creator. I ordered first a drink with ginger, coconut and lime, then one with strawberry and basil. These were arguably the best cocktails I've had in Deutschland, with fresh ingredients, great recipes, and generous amounts of booze. We were even given a new cocktail that the master mixer was working on which was incredibly good but also set me over and told me it was bedtime. The two downsides to such great drinks is that you're likely to overindulge and they do take quite some time to make. So be patient! It's worth the wait. The opening hours are not posted on the door, but this place kind of seemed like it opens and closes when the time is right.
