Craftbar Rostock & Craftbar Cocktail College

Craftbar Rostock & Craftbar Cocktail College is a dynamic bar-and-training venue located in the centre of Rostock. At its heart lies two intertwined concepts: first, the bar itself — where you can sit back with a finely crafted cocktail, explore an expansive drinks list and enjoy stylish hospitality; second, the cocktail school — where you can actively engage in workshops, classes and full-blown bartender trainings. From the moment you walk in at Margaretenstraße 41, 18057 Rostock, Germany, you’ll get the sense this is more than a typical night-out venue. The bar boasts an impressively broad menu of cocktails (one review mentions “probably the most extensive bar menu I’ve ever seen… it’s literally 50 pages long!”). The ambience is modern, warm and crafted for drink-enthusiasts: skilled bartenders, attention to drink presentation and a focus on both classic and creative mixes. Guests cite excellent service and helpful staff who will guide you through the menu. Beyond just enjoyment, the venue is educational: the “Cocktail College” side offers everything from 1-day home-bartender workshops to full professional “Barmixer IHK” preparation courses, spirit tastings, team-events and more. Whether you’re visiting for a night out or signing up for a workshop, the dual nature of the place gives it a unique edge. For a relaxed evening, you might choose a signature cocktail, lounge and enjoy the craft-bar vibe. For a more engaged experience, sign up for a workshop — you’ll shake, stir, learn about ingredients, spirits, ice-quality, techniques, even bar business. The venue also takes events: birthdays, corporate gatherings or private sessions can be arranged, making it flexible and suited for more than just casual drinks. In short: Craftbar Rostock is a destination for those who appreciate thoughtful drinks and want to go deeper than “just another bar”. The Cocktail College element makes it ideal for those curious about the craft behind the bar. If you prefer somewhere high volume, club-style heavy on music, this is more refined. If you love cocktails, story-behind-the-drink or want to learn, this could be a standout.
