Founded by celebrity German expat and DJ Chris Helmbrecht, Berlin Bar is a design-driven bar, a masterpiece by award-winning Berlin designer Thilo Ferdinand Reich, known for his work at popular Berlin bars Saint Jean and The Coven. Apart from the Berlin vibe, there’s also a very Berlinesque cocktail menu, which is the hard work of Sergey Niyazov of the Chateau De Fantomas, Bar Belka, Bruce Lee and Suzuran Bar fame. You can find a wide range of beverages, which will set you back 500-550Rbl., quite reasonably for a bar in central Moscow. Some of the signature drinks include the Vegan Sour (Bulleit Bourbon infused pop corn, Maghreb spices, Mattcha foam and Vegan Mom’s), Chris Betrunken (translated from German as “drunk Chris”, after the founder of the bar) and the Gruene Suppe (“Green Soup” i.e. Absolut Pear, sorrel, lime and sugar). If you so choose, the able bar staff can make you a good old classic, too. The food menu includes Berlin specials like Currywurst and other German favorites like meatballs with potato salad and herring rolls. Groove to Berlin-flavored techno and house music once the cocktails really start to work.
