Wax On Bar

4.7 (546)$$ · Mid-range

Wax On Bar keeps its decor simple and unpretentious, but the cocktails have earned it a spot on lists of the world's top 50 bars, with even familiar orders like a negroni coming out tasting distinctly different from the norm. It functions as a genuine neighborhood bar — lively, fun, and unfussy — rather than a formal cocktail lounge, which is part of its appeal. The gap between the modest setting and the ambition of the drinks is what keeps drawing people back. No reservation is required, so it suits a spontaneous night out.

What people say

"Every cocktail at this bar tastes amazing. The flavors are so unique. Even something familiar like a negroni taste like nothing you've had before. Just because the cocktails are premade doesn't mean they taste boring. Best cocktails in berlin for me. Simon was an amazing knowledge bartender who really made the experience unforgettable."
