Buck & Breck

Berlin, Germany

No. 16 on The World's 50 Best Bars 2015, No. 21 on The World's 50 Best Bars 2014, and No. 37 on The World's 50 Best Bars 2020.

Gonçalo de Sousa Monteiro's hidden Mitte room seats just fourteen around a sleek central bar, matt-black walls, a gold chainsaw and a glass-encased plush octopus among the objets d'art. Strong, icy cocktails from regularly changing menus, the house Buck & Breck London Dry Gin, and three rules: no credit cards, no mobile phones, no groups.
