Lemon Lounge

Lemon Lounge in Bremen stands out not just as a bar, but as a destination for cocktails, spirits education and elevated evening experiences. Located on Am Wall 175-177 in Bremen, the bar traces its origins back to 2001 when Mario Ippen turned a former Wall-Café into what would become one of northern Germany’s standout lounge bars. The vibe is polished yet welcoming. Low lighting, comfortable seating, solid wood accents and a bar area that invites conversation—whether you’re pulling up a stool at the bar or settling into a booth. Reviews highlight “hochwertige Cocktails” and “super chillige Atmosphäre”. The staff are described as highly professional, able to tailor recommendations if you’re unsure what to drink. What sets Lemon Lounge apart is its dual role as both bar and academy: they offer cocktail, gin, rum and whisky courses—public sessions as well as private/tail-ored corporate events. According to the site, “Alle Kurse finden in der Lemon Lounge statt”. For the enthusiast, this makes the venue more than a bar—it’s a place to learn, taste and deepen your appreciation for spirits. Spirits-wise, there’s a genuine commitment to quality: the bar lists a strong selection of whiskies (including rare bottlings), independent labels and themed tastings. The cocktail menu uses premium ingredients and the service is tailored: if you don’t pick from the menu they’ll ask about your preferences and craft something bespoke. A review said “Die Karte nehme ich hier nie. … Einfach etwas empfehlen lassen.” The location—across the wall gardens (Wallanlagen)—adds to the charm: late-evening stroll to the bar, comfortable urban setting yet removed enough from the tourist bustle to feel local and relaxed. If you plan a visit: open Tuesday through Saturday from around 18:00. Smart-casual attire fits. The bar can get busy—especially when courses are taking place—so arriving early or reserving is wise. Also note: some reviewers mention the smoking situation (“Raucherbar”) which might influence your comfort if you prefer smoke-free. In summary: Lemon Lounge is a standout for cocktail lovers in Bremen—stylish but approachable, cocktail-craft focused but still comfortable to sit back and enjoy a drink. Whether you’re in for a single excellent cocktail or a full spirits-tasting evening, it delivers.
