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.

    Beautiful space with great atmosphere. Very friendly and attentive service, original drinks, all of them very well balanced and delicious. The prices are quite high but it is worth it.

    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.

    I’ve been to Velvet before and once they announced this Sips experience I knew I had to try it at least once. The drinks are always superb, and can be thoroughly enjoyed also in (not) such small amounts, everything accompanied by a generous amount of very good bread and butter. The service was also top notch.

    Bartenders were exceptionally friendly, walked us through the process of making several of the drinks and provided small samplings of the various herbs and mixes. Quiet enough to have a conversation with a friend while having a good overall vibe. Very good drinks.
