Okay, Potsdamer Straße can be a turn-off. But then you come to this cultivated locale, a classic barroom with understated dark furnishings and a lovely bar. Head bartender Stefan Weber, considered by many to be the best barkeeper in Berlin, can take you to the “school of inebriation” and impart deep knowledge of high-quality spirits. And a world-class chef will satisfy your hunger. Mixology is taken seriously here—and with a sense of humor.
