I have to admit there are a couple of places in Berlin to which I go more often than to the others. Not all of them do serve alcohol, but this one does. Welcome to the Lützow-Bar - the real drinker’s paradise! It’s open 7 days a week form 16.00 p.m. to 4.00 a.m. Between 16.00 and 21.00 p.m. they have a happy hour, which means that every alcoholic cocktail costs half of its price plus 1 Euro. For everyone who considers an evening to be a successful one only in case he/she had to fight to the bar counter through a crowd of “cool” people, Thursday will be the only right day to visit the place. Some friends of mine believe it’s somehow connected to the next door club Trompete being opened on Thursdays, which doesn’t explain the fuss to me, as the Trompete is also opened on Fridays and Saturdays. Anyway six other days of the week you can walk into Lützow-Bar, take a chair and relax. Actually they write on their web-site that the bar chairs are covered with the ostrich leather which, being distracted by some other things, I’ve never noticed… To cut a long story that’s enough for the general information.
I like the cocktails being sorted just the way they are supposed to, namely on the basis of the main ingredient: Whisky, Rum, Vodka… The menu is so long that I don’t think my health will allow me to try all the drinks, especially if I repeat the tastiest ones. Oh, and they’re tasty indeed. As if it was not enough they also have an additional special card every month. The barkeepers seem never to be tired; almost in seconds they create a couple of diverse cocktails at once, followed by the couples of others, followed by… I guess you got it. Special feature of the bar is a narrow strip of light along the whole counter. First the barkeepers put the glasses on this strip and only then they start filling them up with little bit of this and little bit of that. A cocktail being born in the light coming from beneath – what a great spectacle to watch!
As for the music at this place I would be glad to have most of it in my collection. But if your kind of music has a “tuz-tuz-tuz-tuz-tuz” rhythm, forget everything you’ve just read and go to the Weekend.
