Cocktail Bar
Velvet is a hyperseasonal cocktail bar (no food) in Berlin Neukölln. It’s weekly changing cocktail menu reflects the flavours available from Berlin’s surrounding at the time of the year and has earned the bar the title "Bar of the Year Germany" twice by Mixology Magazine. Foraged botanicals such as magnolia blossoms and violets in spring, fir tips and elderflower in summer, fig leaf and sea buckthorn in autumn - every plant aroma, wild or cultivated is fair game for the small bar team of 5. After harvest on their regular foraging trips in and around Berlin, the team turns the plants into liquids on the weekly Lab Day. The bar focusses on light spirits aswell as sake, madeira, sherry or dry vermouths, to leave space for the natural plant flavours to shine.

    Best bar we've been to in Berlin hands down and we are cocktail enthusiasts who frequent London. Bartender was very approachable and suggested off menu cocktails that hit the spot, waiters are attentive and nice. Cocktails were served in beautiful glasses, properly chilled, well balanced, sophisticated, elegant and based on local ingredients. One thing I'd recommend is more choice on the food side as in snacks / nibbles to keep you going and help complement the drinks. There is a choice of olives or nuts.

    Right off the bat: this is the best cocktail bar in Berlin. Heck, it’s in a league with NY’s dead rabbit, and top London bars. This is artisanal, unique and ever changing, using locally foraged herbs and flowers in an amazing atmosphere and a superb staff of amazing cocktail chefs. There are many great cocktail bars jn Berlin, but velvet tops them. Amazing and unique, with a weekly changing seasonal menu
