About Wax On
Located at Weserstraße 208 in Berlin’s vibrant Neukölln, Wax On is a neighborhood cocktail bar that fuses serious mixology with a relaxed, schoolroom-chic vibe. Open since 2021, it quickly earned top honors: named Germany’s “Best Bar” 2024 and ranked #29 on the World's 50 Best Bars list.
The space is stripped back yet intimate—industrial cement walls, handmade wooden tables, moody downlighting, two-tone plaster, and a cozy fireplace for warming up chilly Berlin nights. A school-themed seating design adds a playful flair for casual conversation and comfortable vibes.
Cocktail creativity is at the heart
rotation with four lab-born “specials” plus four reimagined classics. Equipment like centrifuges, rotavaps, and cold-extract tools are used to craft standout drinks—think peanut-butter-and-strawberry Old Fashioned, mezcal gimlet with vetiver, clarified banana rum fizzers, and hazelnut-coffee concoctions. Drinks are top-tier yet modestly priced—€10–11 cocktails, with beers (€4.50), natural wines (€8), plus intriguing zero-proof options.
The basement “drink-lab” produces custom ingredients onsite, and service is attentive—glasses swapped mid-sip, drinks chilled while you hit the loo—for a polished but relaxed experience. It’s welcoming to both casual patrons and cocktail geeks, one of Neukölln’s most stylish hangouts.
Wax On is walk‑in only, Tues–Sat from 7 pm to about 1 am, system perfect for low-key evenings, friend catch‑ups, or nerdy ingredient deep‑dives with bartenders.
