Best bars in Berlin
One ranked room in Berlin, with the address, booking rule, and what to order.
Berlin places 1 room on our current Europe ranking. It is below with the detail that decides where you actually go: the address, the reservation rule, what a visit costs, and the serves worth ordering.
Reservations and spend
Wax On, the only ranked room in Berlin, takes walk-ins, so timing matters more than a booking date. Every profile carries the phone, website, and reservation rule we last confirmed with the room. For a sense of spend, Wax On lists cocktails from €11.
How we chose these bars
The single room here holds a position on our Europe ranking for the current season. Editors visit unannounced, more than once where a room has changed hands or rewritten its menu, and score on drinks, hospitality, consistency, and sense of place. We take no fee for inclusion, so nothing on this page can be bought. Berlin rooms we rate but have not ranked are published as profiles without a list position.
