Wax On

This Berlin hotspot is all about pushing the boundaries of what a cocktail can be. With its inventive spirit, this bar in the lively Neukölln area captivates with both its unique drinks and inviting atmosphere. The space is warm, dimly lit, and filled with handcrafted wooden furniture, creating a perfect blend of sophistication and comfort for any night out. The bartenders here are more like alchemists, using cutting-edge tools like rotary evaporators and centrifuges to craft extraordinary ingredients that transform classic cocktails into something truly special. Imagine an Old Fashioned infused with peanut butter and strawberry or a Gimlet reimagined with smoky mezcal, lemon verbena, and vetiver.

While the focus is undeniably on the drinks, there's also a curated selection of craft beers and natural wines for those who fancy a different sip. Prices hover around €14 per cocktail, a point that's well-justified by the exceptional quality and creativity on offer. Downstairs, the bar's laboratory setup is where the magic happens, with drinks prepped with a focus on flavors rather than brand labels, ensuring each cocktail is a masterpiece. The team here is known for their friendly, attentive service, always ready to guide you through their menu with a smile.
