The Best Bars In Wedding Berlin

Wedding is not the hippest borough of Berlin but it is still home to some brilliant, some times almost hidden, bars. In other pockets of Berlin bars get overcrowded quickly but in Wedding you have the advantage of being more off the beaten track, and each can be enjoyed to its fullest potential. Here is a list of the top bars in Wedding.

1. Moritz Bar

Bar, Cocktail Bar, Beer, German

Moritz Bar is a bar that allows its attendees to sink into the night. Cool lounge furniture, seemingly out of place pictures of Lindsay Lohan, and an intimate setting add to the ambiance of this laid back mini oasis. The bar is always candle lit and moody and that just seems right. Mortiz Bar is owned by two brothers, Lukas and Kilian. They take pride in their unique cocktails and even make their own tonic and root beer. A sizable cocktail list crafted with care, and a relaxed vibe make this the perfect spot for a drink and to escape. Moritz Bar also hosts Wedding’s only weekly ‘Gay Party’ with 2 for 1 gin and tonics and heaps of dancing.

2. Hausbrauerei Eschenbräu

Brewery

There are many contenders on the list of the best beer gardens in Berlin. Some claim to be list worthy for their age or sheer size and it becomes a boisterous battle of bragging rights. Hausbrauerei is list worthy for its humility and excellence. It was opened by brewers from Technische Universität, and its location is a little off the beaten track which gives it a pleasingly secret feel. Freshly brewed and seasonal German beer ensures variety. This Wedding-born beer garden is worth the trek.

3. Vagabund Brauerei

Brasserie, Pub, Bar, Pub Grub, German

This stylish and serious brewery is a must for craft beer enthusiasts. This hoppy haven is both a brewery and a taproom. The interior of Vagabund Brauerei has a pub vibe with rustic accents. Vagabund has a rotating list of beers to keep things fresh. The owners hail from the land where the re-imagining of craft beer was born, America, there mission is to bring proper, fresh, and distinctive beer to the Hauptstadt. Apart from their own careful creations there is a bottled list that is just as eager to please.

5. Fos Bar

Bar, German, Beer

This incredible neighborhood joint attracts a motley crew. Perhaps it’s the ample variety of beers, perhaps it’s the feeling that a spontaneous party is always about to unfold, or the unrelenting gestures of the staff to make its patrons feel right at home. People come here for good music, a good time, and the good ambiance. The furniture is worn in a way that invites people to linger for hours. The cocktails are cheap and served stiff. The music is always simpatico with the moment. This bar screams abandoned-apartment-meets-dive-bar. What once was abandoned is now up-cycled with craft and consideration, paying homage to the spirit of Berlin, a city that writes its own rules. Fos is the perfect neighborhood dive bar that is everything a Berlin dive bar should be.

6. Jatz Bar

Bar, Beer, German

Finally, something in Wedding for the jazz lovers. This place has been around for some time, but few are privy to the holiness of Jatz Bar. Comfortable leather couches and red hues carefully inundating the interior are just a few of the characteristics that make up this place’s inviting charm. Jatz bar has swank without being swanky. It has a sense of coolness without asking anyone to know about it. It’s in alignment with the traditional Berlin pubs: cozy, cheap, and full of good music. The scene here is young, made up of mostly students and locals. This watering hole is a fine place to grab a well-made cocktail in an obscure nook of the capital. There’s a smoking room in the back so the wafting cigarette smell can be contained, unlike some other fire-friendly bars.

7. Castle pub

Bar, Pub, German

Don’t mistake this place for a tourist trap just because it’s next to a Holiday Inn – can there be tourist traps in a neighborhood as untouched as Wedding? Though there are some vestiges from what you might expect of a next-to-a-hotel- bar, this place is a proper pub. The craft beer selection is enough to make someone forget some of the more gimmicky aspects of the place. The gregarious staff elevates the evening in a matter of seconds. Karaoke and pub quizzes happen once a week, ensuring that the clientele leaves happy, even if they didn’t come in happy. Castle pub is a place that makes it almost impossible to have a bad time, especially with some of their drink specials. 1,50 € shots on Fridays might be the unexplored path to the Elysian fields. The cavernous interior is laid out in a way that begs for groups to come in and nestle for a while.

8. Oh! Calcutta

Bar, Cocktail Bar, Beer, German

This dapper ensemble of alcoholic beverages and aesthetic mystique adds an indelible amount of allure to Wedding. Purple and red walls adorned with ornate and antique pictures, funky lantern lights, and plush throws juxtaposing up-cycled crate furniture significantly raise the bar in terms of this neighborhood’s watering hole standard. This dashing bar is unbridled with effortless elegance, from the writing on the chalkboard to the geometric patterns etched on the walls, every detail is accounted for and the ensemble is thrown together in a way that is homogenous. Oh! Calcutta is a cocktail bar that awards those with the knowledge of its existence bragging rights. It doesn’t only serve up class and tasty libations; there are DJs and live concerts as well.

9. Offside

Bar, Pub, Beer, German, Pub Grub

One of the most imperative facets of a good bar (and often an overlooked one) is a knowledgable bartender. Here at Offside, the bartenders pair alcohol expertise with amicability. Their command of the drink at this dive bar outweighs their décor, but that’s not to say their effortless ultra-kitsch approach isn’t amusing. This dive bar packs hyper funk and authenticity. Offside is stuffed with two things – locals and a colossal amount of alcohol. It serves as a reprieve from the overwhelming waves of overcrowded gimmicky bars that promise too much and deliver too little. A no-frills pub with an emphasis on good whiskey – this is the place for an honest and furtive drink in the land of Wedding.
