Brill no 6

In the heart of Bremen’s Altstadt, just steps from the transport hub at Am Brill, sits Brill No.6—a three-storey cocktail bar that balances local tradition with cosmopolitan flair. On arrival you’ll spot the façade at Am Brill 6, 28195 Bremen, and step inside into a lounge setting where thoughtful design, warmth and a serious approach to cocktails set the tone. Each of the three floors has been individually styled “with love and detail” to offer distinct vibes—from the ground floor bar counter to more relaxed seating on the upper levels. The design is international in its inspiration yet rooted in Bremen’s city-centre bar culture. At the heart of the experience is the menu: you’ll find both timeless classics and bespoke house creations, crafted from fresh, high-quality ingredients and without cheap shortcuts. The bar explicitly states it forgoes plastic straws and inferior ingredients, favouring a clean, sustainable approach. Beyond drinking you can also learn: Brill No.6 runs cocktail courses (“Locker vom Hocker”) and offers gin/rum tastings. Whether you’re simply drawn in for a drink or sign up to shake cocktails yourself, there’s an element of discovery. Reviews highlight the attentive bartenders (e.g., one says the Mai Tai and Zombie here are “the best north-of” region) and the large selection of spirits and drinks. The atmosphere is described as cozy-lounge rather than nightclub—ideal for exchanging good conversation, trying something new, and staying later into the night (Tue–Thu until ~02:30, Fri–Sat to ~04:00) under the lights. One practical note: the bar has dedicated smoking-lounge spaces on the upper floor, while lower floors remain smoke-free. In short: if you're in Bremen and want a cocktail bar that’s serious about its drinks, comfortable yet stylish, and open late, Brill No.6 offers an excellent destination. Grab a seat at the bar, let the bartender know your flavour profile, and settle in for an evening of good spirits and relaxed enjoyment.
