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 & No.77 in the World's 50 Best Bars Top 100 in 2023. After harvest on their regular foraging trips in and around Berlin, the team turns seasonal 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.

Very nice bar and the drinks seem very natural! The staff is very friendly and you can ask also for excellent non-alcoholic cocktails.

A beautiful, cozy bar with stunning cocktails and an even better staff. They make you feel welcome right off the bat and go to lengths to make your experience stellar. They have a weekly menu with very well thought out drinks. Our server/mixologist was super engaging explaining us about the various concoctions and even let us try their seasonal infusions. Worth every penny spent! An absolute must visit if you are a cocktail enthusiast or a mixology aficionado!

We had a fabulous time. Drinks and vibe were good. Nice after-dinner bar. Don’t go hungry, all they have are olives and nuts.
