The atmosphere is great though, lots of grunge vibes and even the little staircase to enter the bar was red-lit. It was really cool. You can't order spirits before like 9 so we got wine but we tried a few cocktails. I enjoyed their whisky sour. I'd like to go back and probably would if asked, but I really dislike cigarettes so I wouldn't go on my own but if I was going with friends I wouldn't be mad about it.

This by far is one of my favorite bars in Berlin!…read more The low lighting, and the underground feel made me very comfy. The bar tenders are friendly and spoke perfect english. The dj's spent some new stuff I hadn't heard thats always welcoming. We started at this bar and ended up all over Berlin. Good way to get the party started.

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.

Expectations are high if a cocktail bar in Berlin Mitte is associated with the famous Burritt Room…read morein San Francisco. Wait, Berlin can do cocktails? 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.

We decided to just go bar hopping. First up was Monkey Bar due to the views. It was a chill day, so wasn't super busy here. We sat at an area by the window so we could enjoy the views. I'm pretty sure I got a spicy marg and the hubby got a pour of monkey shoulder. I'm not sure if this spot is known for cocktails, but it I did not think it was good. It was very sweet and kinda weak. We didn't get an itemized bill, but the total ended up being (€71.50). That may have included the tip tho. Go for the view and maybe just a pour. The cocktails weren't really up my alley.

The decor is moody-in a good way. Candles are the only thing lighting the place and the rest of the decor is somewhat rustic. The bathroom uses pipe water, for goodness sake. I was also amazed that every table had real flowers...how often do they have to change it!!?!? This place is super trendy and fairly quiet. I do wish they had an indoor no-smoking policy because the smell of smoke was getting to be a bit much in the small area. Even if there WAS a no-smoking policy, the smell definitely wades in from the outside so there is no escaping it!

In fact, this can work to your advantage in a place like this, because seating is ultra limited and fills up fast. The bar itself is small, quaint, rustic. There are two levels, everything is candlelight, and the atmosphere is cosy. The drinks are also inexpensive. It can get a bit smokey though... not my favourite. Musicians play here often, and I can't even imagine how packed the place is then. Your best bet is to come on a week day. Late nights and weekends? Well, you're taking your chances.
