Bars

Drip Bar

(Drip Bar / James Davidson)

Gin that tastes of hibiscus, rum that tastes of cucumber or tequila that tastes of beet. Unusual? Yes, but the unique variations of cocktails in the dripBar all taste fantastic. The slow-drip process is used here to create new flavors. Originally, this process was used to prepare coffee, but in the dripBar, high-proof drinks are refined to perfection.

Botanic District

(Botanic District / Website)

In the Botanic District you can try delicious and unusual botanically inspired highballs: How about a creation with rosemary, basil, lavender or violets? In addition to highballs, there is a wide selection of gin and wine on the drinks menu. To satisfy hunger (and as a good basis for all those delicious highballs), burgers and various bowl creations are on offer. The food selection is also botanical or green and sustainable: the meat comes from the local butcher and there is also a large selection of vegan options.
