X-Bar Berlin

Originally I found this from the outside inconspicuous place in Raumerstrasse 17 (Prenzlauer Berg) through my Get2card (two for the price of one in various places). Unfortunately, also from the inside the bar is nothing special, but oh my... the drinks really are! At X-Bar the educated cocktail sipper can chose from about 300 fancy longdrinks and cocktails. From the classics like Campari Orange, Caiprinha, Pina Colada, and Co. to the more creative versions of Strawberry Mojito or Mango Colada and special drinks created by the bar keepers that one can get only there and no where else - this place never disappoints. My two favorites are Big Apple and Apple Dream - both with apple sauce inside! Delicious. Even during happy hour from 6-8:30pm the drinks always taste good (unlike in many other Berlin cocktail bars) which speaks for the quality of the ingredients and the professionalism of the bar keepers. Now, I come here almost once a week... :-) For the hungry cocktail sipper there is also the possibility of ordering decent Asian food from the neighbor restaurant that then is being brought over through the front door. The only huge drawback: smoking is allowed inside. But summer will be here soon and then the outdoor cocktail season will begin... in front of X-Bar. http://www.cocktailxbar.de/
