Green Door
This
Berlin classic never goes out of style. A young urban crowd enjoys some
of the best drinks and cocktails money can buy in Germany, mingling at
the minimalist retro-style bar and along the curved, green walls. At
weekends, the place is packed to bursting. There’s an outdoor bell, but
the door policy is pretty liberal as long as you look sober.Winterfeldstr. 50

Newton-Bar
To
see and be seen is the name of the game in this elegant venue. Service
is charming and the fastest in town, and in summer there’s even a
fold-down bar on the pavement outside. Heavy leather armchairs make for
comfortable sitting, and the walls are adorned with enlarged photographs
of nudes by Helmut Newton, after whom the bar is named. Don’t miss out
on the superb Caribbean and Latin-American cocktails.Charlottenstr. 57
