Goldfisch

Dark, intimate, and a little removed from the usual Friedrichshain bar churn, Goldfisch Bar feels like a place for people who care about what is in the glass. The room has a low lit, polished mood, but it avoids feeling too sleek or self conscious, which makes it easy to settle into.

Its strength seems to lie in range as much as style. Goldfisch is known for contemporary classics, quality spirits, and an openness that includes low ABV and alcohol free drinks, so the bar does not lock itself into one narrow idea of what a serious cocktail place should be. That gives it a more relaxed, confident appeal than bars that try too hard to prove themselves.
