Nestled on Nollendorfstraße in Schöneberg, Stagger Lee Cocktailbar channels the gritty glamour of a 19th-century American saloon, infused with Berlin’s flair for storytelling and craftsmanship. With deep-red wallpaper, Chesterfield couches, swinging doors, antique cash registers, oil-style lighting, and jazz-blues crooning through the air, this place doesn’t just serve drinks—it transports you back in time. Named after the legendary outlaw Stagger Lee Shelton, whose tale haunts blues tunes from Louis Armstrong to Nick Cave, the bar wraps its guests in layered narratives—served with precision and performance. Bartenders, decked in period vests and ties, craft cocktails with showmanship—introducing creations like the Stagger Lee Beer Old Fashioned (bourbon with house-made dark beer syrup) and the Continental Sour (whiskey with a port wine float). Each drink is served using period-style glassware and antique tools, making every exchange feel cinematic. Their menu draws deep from the spirit roots of North America—bourbons, rye whiskey, mezcal, and tequila—with seasonal spins and thoughtful twists. Signature drinks such as the Frida Kahlo—a blend of Amontillado sherry, hibiscus tequila, lime, and vanilla syrup—blend cultural artistry with liquid innovation. Non-alcoholic offerings, like the subtly spicy “Half Naked,” ensure every guest is included. Pricing is fair for the craft: expect €9–15 per cocktail.
