Buck & Breck

Berlin, Germany

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.
