Booze Bar Berlin (Boxhagener Str. 105) sits in the counter‑cultural heart of Friedrichshain, offering some of the city’s most creative and well-executed cocktails behind a minimal façade. The interior features exposed brick, dim lighting, funky artwork (think squashed Coke cans and Eddie Murphy portraits), and a long polished bar where bartenders craft both classics and bespoke creations à la carte, often with a twist. There is no traditional menu—instead you tell the bartenders your flavor preferences and they build your drink on the spot, from brambles to gin basil smash or richer mezcal concoctions. The vibe is friendly, non‑pretentious and relaxed—staff deliberately avoid fuss, preferring substance over pomp. The décor roles out into a lounge yonder, with couches, café‑style curb seating outside when weather permits, and even a foosball table for playful interludes. DJs and vinyl nights frequently round out the evening, making this more than just another cocktail bar—but a social hub for locals and visitors alike. Booze Bar rose to prominence after winning a Mixology Award in 2015 for its quality and innovation.
