In a word: funky…read more Zyankali Bar was most unexpected. On the lookout for a cool bar, my colleague and I asked the taxi to pull over when we saw this one, a bright yellow beacon in what looked like a residential area. We bumped into the owner himself as we walked up the steps, a kind man with a mustache, wearing bandana and FiveFingers shoes. He informed us that it was a special night: they had a guest bartender from Russia who brought cocktail recipes from home. The decor was haphazard, 70s grunge slash broken down hospital slash botany lab. In the basement, behind the winding stairs, there is a pinball machine and a small dark room with DJ booth (no DJ at that moment) and disco lights. We sat down on hospital beds on the top floor, in front of the plant wall, and ordered Russian cocktails (I have to admit I didn't understand half of the ingredients, but a French waitress indicated her favorites). At some point, the owner came by with a small film crew and spoke to them about the plant wall behind my head. He prided himself on their upkeep, and used them in cocktails when possible. The cocktail I tried was too bitter for my taste, and we switched to beer shortly after (served in 1L glass mugs). We stayed until closing and, beers unfinished, the owner gave us paper bags lined with plastic, poured our beers into them, popped in a straw, and pushed us out onto the street. It sounds unceremonious, but it was not unkind. Then he hopped on his bike and bid us goodnight.

But the lighting is unique too, and the cocktails are really original, with root and leaf flavors, and high end spirits and absinthes also available neat, and a very, very good value for the price, which is rare among bars serving exotic cocktails. The owner's fashion sense is 30 years out of date, but unlike so many other bars in Berlin, his drink menu isn't - and he's as much of a mad scientist with his flavors and ingredients as the place would suggest. VERY deep menu, and there's so much to try here that it's well worth repeated visits.

The mixologist had an interesting German name I can't remember - a Berliner that had a great command of Bourbon drinks. I tried quite a few. My favorite was a bourbon chartreuse sazerac - I'm drooling in a shitty hostel bed in Croatia just thinking about it. The bar is in a quiet part of town, but that only adds to the intimacy of it. After a couple great drinks, you can stroll to Kreuzberg/Neukölln and keep the sexy vibez going.

4 Stars! Great Cocktails, but avoid if you are allergic to smoke!…read more We stumbled upon this cozy cocktail bar during our stay in Kreuzberg. Missing the cocktail bars in Brooklyn, this felt just like Home as soon as we walked in. The cocktail menu is vast but the host was able to narrow it down for us based on our alcohol of choice and general preference. The cocktails were all fantastic and the host (wish I remembered her name) was great! Minus one star only for the cloud of smoke inside - it is a relatively small bar and closed and smoking is allowed inside. It was a bit uncomfortable towards the end but the cocktails eased the pain! Return? YES! Just need to plan my next visit to Berlin ASAP.

The menu is just a start. What really takes you in is getting into a dialogue with the bartender, who looks you deep into your eyes and tell you what you need. On top of impressive alcohol selection they produce their own combinations, which is second to none. Try "White Russian" for example, based on self made ingredients ! Unmatched ! I will be back every time I am in Berlin and have an evening to spare... and easy morning ;-)

Luckily we were staying at the Ritz, so we just headed over. They had a smaller table for two, but tables were opening up, so we moved to a larger area close to the entrance. There was live music. It was a fun lounge vibe. We ended up staying here for a little over an hour and charged everything to the room for convenience. Our room credit worked so was applied to this and another visit we had the next day. Great hotel bar. And happy it was just an elevator ride away. REVIEW #4094

Most of the time, it was a talk about the various types of spirits (vodka, gin, rum, whisky, liquers) and sampling the stuff. So we all had some 50 tastings of pretty interesting booze! Every Tuesday is a Rum night and some other smoker events happen here as well, but since I don't smoke, I cannot recommend them.

Und Biertrinker kommen auch nicht zu kurz: Ob Pils in schicken 0,2 Liter Tulpen oder Hefeweizen der Brauerei Streck-Bräu.
