Best Cocktail Bars in Europe
By Dario Meli
A quick overview of some of my favorite places for amazing cocktails in Europe. I'll keep it updated as it grows and keep everyone in the loop.
-
Buck & Breck – Berlin
By Dario Meli
Tiny, exclusive, private, hidden. This is not a place for groups and its very helpful to know the man behind the door if you want to experience some of the best cocktails in Berlin.
-
Vesper Bar – Amsterdam
By Dario Meli
Great spot in Jordaan. Make sure you ride your bike, you wont be able to drive when you leave.
-
La Candelaria – Paris
By Dario Meli
Walk thru a dodgy Mexican kitchen & once you reach the back door, tadaaa totally changed atmosphere. And the cocktails are Fabulous!
-
Callooh Callay – London
By Dario Meli
Someone rated this the best cocktail bar in the world. I can vouch that this low key Shoreditch gem is worth seeking out. You wont be disappointed.
-
Hemingway Bar – Prague
By Dario Meli
Easily the best cocktail bar in Prague. Get there early to have the bartender's full attention and avoid being smoked out by the patrons.
-
Barnum Cafè – Rome
By Dario Meli
By day this is a regular café where you might find students studying. In the evening it is the hidden gem of Rome. Patrick is an intensely talented bar man and will set you straight!
-
Bobby Gin – Barcelona
By Dario Meli
Lots and lots of gin. Really. But as you can see they have plenty of other beautiful beverages to suit your fancy. Go here.
